The 1913 South Australian Football League season was the 37th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.
Gawler Admission and Withdrawal
[edit]When Mr. E. Johns Senior a delegate from North Adelaide was transferred to Gawler by the Postal Department he was soon elected to chairman and was instrumental in the Gawler Football Association applying for admission to the South Australia Football League.[1]
On 2 Dec 1912, the South Australia Football League granted Gawler admission to the senior competition in Adelaide as the eighth Club for the zone covering the Electoral District of Barossa. Its colors were registered as follows: Black jersey with pink hoop, white knickers and black-and-pink hose.[2] However, just before the start of the 1913 season Gawler withdrew due to loss of a number of prominent players from the District and the depressed condition of the sport locally.[3][4]
University Club Application Rejected
[edit]The University Club, premiers of the Amateur League, again applied for affiliation with the league to fill the vacant 8th place. On the motion of Mr. J. J. Woods, seconded by Mr. A. W. Barry, it was decided that the application should be refused. The Club had previously applied and was rejected in 1910. [5][6]
