THE FOOTBALL RECORD

September 19th, 1971

THIRTY YEARS AGO-1941The following six teams comprised

the First Grade premiership competi-tion, with total points at end of firstround and •captains and vice-captainsshown:—

Eastern Suburbs (52); Milton Edge-worth, Jack Williamson.

South Sydney (48); Jack James, RonBernsten.

Newtown (46); Her.bie Mills, AlanSmyth.

St. George (34); Bill Spry, Fred Pender-gast.

Sydney (16); Fred Eyre, Fred Tree.North Shore (8); Jack Guthrie, Charlie

Winter.

Eastern Suburbs finished premiers,with South Sydney runners-up. HenryCrane (Newtown) was the leading goal-kicker with 82 goals. Cliff Barnsley(Sydney) was the Phelan medallist,whilst Tom Dixon (South Sydney), andAllan Willats (St. George) were equalin voting for the Sanders Award.

All clubs were weakened by enlist-ments in the fighting services. NorthShore could only field a First Gradeside, resulting in the bye team in theReserves playing the bye team in theMetropolitan Association (all age) fornon-competition points.

Matches were played on Saturdays atErskineville Oval, Trumper Park andS.C.G. No. 2. Admission six pence, withsix pence extra to grandstand.

Highlight of the season was the matchN.S.W. v Victoria at the S.C.G. on May24th, preceded by R.A.A.F. v N.S.W.Seconds and Railway Juniors v New-town Juniors. The nett proceedsamounting to $500 were donated to theLord Mayor's Patriotic and War Funds.

Jack Regan (Collingwood) headed astrong V.F.L. side against the LightBlues, comprising, M. Edgeworth, D.Blacklock, J. McCartney, G. Farrow, V.

McGuinness (Eastern Suburbs); A.Smyth, F. 'Williams, J. Bolton (New-town); J. Guthrie (Captain), R. Davies,E. Geister (North Shore); L. Merrill, N.Blacklock, M. Stiff, G. Bennett (SouthSydney); W. Spry, S. Duff, J. Browne,F. Pendergast (St. George); C. Barnsley(Sydney). The locals offered stout re-sistance, resulting in a most entertain-ing match but lacked big men. Ironi-cally Mickey Stiff, South Sydney's dim-inutive rover, was voted the best afield.

An event of everlasting memory wasthe match between old-time playersNewtown and Eastern Suburbs atTrumper Park on 29th June, proceedsin aid of the Mayor of Paddington'sDistress Fund.

NORTH SHORE CLUB NOTESThe Firsts came to the end of the

road for 1971 going down to Wests bya narrow margin but not without a fightin more ways than one. Murray Zanoniwas tremendous in winning the L. J.Morgan and Brian Phipps awards,whilst Bob Highfold and Allan McDon-ald also received a trophy from Brian.Bob Mitson took out the Sims Mens-wear Award with a superlative effort atfull back—many thanks to all trophydonors. A great effort by all saw RoyKlau sparkling in the centre and welldeserves special mention. So congratu-lation to Western Suburbs who turnedthe tables on us this year.

We said farewell to two stalwarts inKen Dean and Jeff Trewin who finish

their National Service at the end of themonth and have already reported toMelbourne.

The Reserves fight on towards a pre-miership and although they lost the re-play to Wests, it was another thrillerand with our full team back in againwill be Grand Finalists without a doubt.Stuart Ludowici shone and won theL. J. Morgan trophy, well backed up byJohn Deery, Allan Wood, John Sheri-dan, Tony Austin and Byron Cork.

There's nothing more enjoyable than a nice coolbeer after a day's work. But how can you enjoy it,if you're trying to watch your weight?

What can you do? You can forsake your beer,or you can try our alternative.High-Lo Lager.

It's just the same as other beer, except it doesn'tweigh you down as much. Because it's not as heavy.

So next time you feel like a beer, instead ofworrying about your waistline, try a High-Lo Lager.

After all, the things you've got to lose you'llnever miss anyway.. , fl
