YOUTH TO THE FORE !

Austra lia's young people, on whom the nation's future depends, are distinguishing themselves in many important spheres - and Shell is l1elping many of them to give the ir best perform?nces.. . At academic levels, Shell scholarships and bursaries give tangible encouragement to students and graduates. Cultural pursuits are encouraged by awards such as the £1,000 Shell Aria at the Canberra Nationa I Eisteddfod. In some sports, special coaching clinics sponsored by Shell teach young players the rudiments and finer points of the game - in

thers, promising

youngsters receive opportunities, also provided by Shell, to improve their standards and techniques under competitive conditions. Shell believes that any contribution it makes to developing the youth of the nation is a sound investment.

It's got to be good to be Shell

FATHER F. LYONS

Father F. Lyons, of Naval Headquarters, Garden Island, is t he Presi- dent of t he Navy's Australian Rules Committee fo r the East Australian

Area. In this position he was President of t he Navy XVIII which soundly

defeated the Army and the R.A.A.F. in the recent inter-Service competition. It was inevita ble t hat his activities in Navy footba ll ci rcles should bring Fat her Lyons in close contact with the Sydney Naval team. He was

instrumental in securing the service, 0f some promising recruits fo r + fie

Sydney Nava l side, and played a prominent part in the entry of H.M.A.S. Nirimba's tea m into the third grade competition. B efore com ing to Sydney early t his yea r, Father Lyons was stationed · at H.M.A.S. Cerberus. For two yea rs he had charge of the under- 19 sq uad in that establ ishment and had the pleasure of seeing the side play in the finals at t he end of both seasons. Like Nirimba this year, they were narrowly defeated for t he Premiership on both occasions. An ardent Geelong ba rracker, his cons9lation this year will undoubtedly be the despatch of another pennant to Kardima Park Oval. In his younger days, Father Lyons was a ruckman of some note. He played Y.C.W. footba ll in Fitzroy and later represented Assumption College.

Kilmore. This Maris+ Brot hers' Col lege has given many players to L

eague football in Melbourne and has won many premiershi ps in the Associated G ra mmar Schools Competition. 01Jr!:1g his advanced studies at Werri bee, Fat her Lyons played eight seasons of hard footba ll with Corpus Ch risti College. Now a fam i la r figure at Trum per Pa rk, it is hoped his connection with Sydney Naval will continue for many seasons.

SLIDE 4

PRESIDENT'S REPORT 1963

The 1963 season has ended, but unlike 1962, we were not in the Grand

Final. But to make the final four was still a very good effort, as I think the

standard of footbal l in N.S.W . has greatly improved and only good sides reach the top. The bright side of the season was the grand effort of the Reserve Grade

in making the Grand Final. It was something I have looked forward to for

a long time, and I hope that next year they will win the Grand Final. The Third Grade side also did a wonderful job in their first season in the Competition and made the Grand Final. It was a very good effort by the boys from Nirimba and the club is very proud of their effort.

To Ralph Turner (Club Captain and Coach), J. McCartney (Reserve

SYDNEY NAVAL IN ACTION

Captain),

B. Prior and J. Morris

(Third Grade Captain), I say thanks for your grand effort for the season. Congratu lations to J . McCartney: Reserve Grade, and J . Morris, Third Grade, for winning the Best and Fairest Awards

f

N.S.W . A.N .F.C. The Club Championship, which also went to the Club, was a well deserved award. And now the highest praise to

J. Magner (Treas.) and Canteen

Manager and his staff; also to the Secretary and all Committee men whose work and time spent make

ur C lub

a great success both financially and socially. Thanks a lot!

H. DERR ICK (President).

TRAINERS

Our special thanks are extended to Trainers for 1963 season, namely Brian Sutton and Alan Weters. O n all occasions they were ever ready to assist both on and off the field, and through their untiring, efforts our fittest teams were always available for selection. Their expert attention and devotion to their job were worthy of the highest commendation. We trust Brian and Alan will be with us again next season. Those members who are keen to enter the "Jug-a-lug" competition

* * *

at the next picnic are advised to contact treasurer Jack Magner, who is available for coaching purposes by appointment only. Len No lloth please note.

* * *

Has the success of the reserve grade side been due to the vegetarian diet since Peter (Greenpeas) Anders has joined t he ra nks? Written r ply, please, Greenpeas!

* * *

Change in jobs must be agreeing with "Chips" McCartney. It's a case of just how high they go with bdh "Chips" and Ralph Turner. Stand by, J ack Harding, for the overthrows!

*

* *

Congratulations to Mrs. May Fosbeary, who won our "best and fa irest"

in the annual competition. Husband Ossie has spent many sleepless nights

counting "the chips".

THE MEDAL WINNERS

"OLD EVERGREEN'"

There is one m

e mb ~r

f the Club who is ra rely seen in the dressing-

rooms, but is inva riably either in the canteen or around the ground safe- guarding t he C lub's finances. He iSJJ1popular J ack Magner, the C lu b Treasurer, who during the last twelve years has been responsible for bringing the Club from the "red " to the present high standa rd "black". When

ne considers that he has not had the backing of poker machines this can

truly be recorded as a remarkable effort: With his pleasant smile and pen in his firm rig ht hand he has the happy knack of "extracting" without pain. Members and supporters are gratefu l to J ack Magner who has in fact raised the necessa ry moneys to enable the many trips away to be arranged. It can be truthfully sa id that J ack has merited whatever praise has bee11 showered upon him. There 1 s no truth in the rumour that he is going to retire. We cannot afford to lose him !

VALE MRS. FERGUSON

W e regret to report the death of Mrs. Ferguson this year. Besides her personal qualities, Mrs. Ferguson will be remembered as one of the all-time great supporters, and in addition was always keen to render assistance

in our social activities.

SECRETARY'S REPORT 1963

Firstly, on beha lf of the Sydney Naval Football C lub, we the C ommittee

f t he Club would like to welcome everyone present this evening to the

1963 Presentation B a ll . W e do sincere ly hope you will a ll enjoy the evening. • It may be said that the 1963 season was not in the true sense of the " word successfu l, although the three grades all ga ined places in the fi nal

four. Congratulations to Mr. J . McCartney for winning the award of

Fairest and B est in the N.S.W. A.N .F.L. Reserve Grade for 1963. Also to '-.

Mr. J. Morris for gaining t he same award in the Thi rd Grade. To Mr. K.
Mcl ea n for the lead ing goa l-kicker for the Reserve Grade for 1963 in the

N.S.W. A.N.F. L. This year Sydney Naval fielded a Third Grade team , H. M.A.S. Nirimba , and to the success of this side honours fa ll on the shou lders of

Mr. Ben Standish, t he coach and organiser of this great young side.

Misfortune befell our Third Grade, whe n be ing undefeated during the season, it lost the Grand Final by a very small ma rgi n. Bad luck. Still we all know 1964 will be your year. To our Reserve Grade, congratulations for making the first G rand

Final. The side has been in since Sydney Naval commenced. Bad luc k,

"Chips" and Ral ph. Still there is 1964 to do the same feat, and this time by winning the Premiers hi p Flag. Finally, our First Grade just did not have it on the day of t he first semi-final. Sti ll, to our captain-coach Ralph Tu rner and vice-captain Dann y Wilson, better luck next year. The side over the season saw many changes and needs a special mention. You had to play with the team to appreciate the spirit it had , in fact, the spirit the whole Club had-all three grades. We do sincerely hope to see all our footballe rs who played in 1963 with the Club again in 1964. B efore ending off the football side, we the Committee take this oppor- tunity to congratulate a ll the trophy winners during the season 1963. We

THE MOTHERS' CLUB CHEER SQUAD

We are proud to be associated with such great supporters as Bubby Wilson, Amy Dickson, Gwen Turner, Beryl Mason, Mavis Clarke, Jan Carr, Dorothy Waters, Dorothy Harding, Ada Frilay, Sis Ba nnon , Ollie Magner, Janice Hilzinger, Joy Dean, Judy Speed, Gloria Hayman, Roslyn Wilson, Sally Green, Betty Hogg and Margaret Crawford, who have formed themselves into the Mothers' Club Cheer Squad. Jack Magner wants to know whether they are a private or a public company.

FIRST SYDNEY NAVAL GIRLS' TEAM

Ken Staff, who has recently left the Navy, will join the Fire Brigade. He will be in good company with Nobby Clarke and Wally Speed.

* * *

Popu lar J ack (Screws) Martin is always working overtime-and so he should, having such lovely assistants (the girls). But again they say the girls are relieved when Jack does have the occasional "sickie".

* * *

The committee wishes to notify all members that there is no truth

in the rumour that Danny Wilson and Jack Harding have appointed

themselves as selectors of the Club's cricket team. Any member desirous

f playing should not under any ci rcumstances contact D.W. or J .H.

* * *

All members of the Club wish Vice-president B

b Inch a speedy

recove ry. Despite his illness, Bob is regularly seen at Club matches and we hope it's a good tonic for him.

would also like to +hank Mr. Ron Bennett for his very much appreciated

donation of the Bennett-Navy News award, won by Mr. J oe Valenta. A team cannot exist without a well-balanced machine to give them the

drive. B

y t his I refer to canteen workers, trainers, etc. W ithout the tireless efforts of the following, Sydney Naval would find the going tough, but

Is+ GRADE SIDE

t hanks to these hard-working forces Sydney Naval is a very healthy Club.

Mr. J. Magner our Treasu rer, duly assisted by Messrs. J. Martin , 0. Fos·

beary, A. Wilson , D. Willoughby, J. McCartney, M. Carr and R. Inch. On the women's side, Mesdames O llie Magner, Kath Sutton, Marge Wilson, Laurie Morrison, Misses Marilyn Ri nnell and Marcia Radford. Also a special thank s to Mr. B. Sutton and Mr. A. Waters. Without these two all three grades would have found the going hard. Thanks to

Mr. Vin Frilay for his coverage of the games in the Navy News.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

This year the W. Picken Trophy for the Club Champions hi p was awarded for the first time. Sydney Naval are pleased to have won this splendid

trophy. The firsts reached the semi-finals and the seconds and the thirds

both reached the grand finals.

* * *

Congratulations to Western Suburbs fo r their success in win ning the I st and 2nd grade grand fin als, and to B ankstown in winning the 3rd grade grand fina l.

* * *

Two shields for the best and fai rest were agai n awarded by Sydney Naval to H.M.A.S. Nirimba and H.M.A.S. Cerberus.

Micky Wright ( 1939 vintage) was seen down from his sheep station to see all his old pals at Sydney Naval.

Congratulat1 qns are extended to Ral ph Turner for coachi ng the firsts and seconds and to B en Standish in coaching the thirds.

THE "BOY FROM BENNETT'S"

Danny Wilson fi rst played in 1946 whilst serving in the Navy. From "records ava ilable", Danny was 17 years of age. He served in H.M.A.S. Shropshire as ch ief stoker when she was on the "spud run ". Apart from the occasional broken collarbone he has played continuously with the club. Rumour has it that Danny is retiri ng, but Harry Derrick won't have it. Arthur Wilson (late A. 1.F.) still maintains that Danny is a forty mile sniper, but Danny reckons that he gave his blood for his country - when he had his tonsils out at B al mora l Naval Hospital.

The "boy from B

ennett's" claim of having played 385 games with the Club is being thoroughly investigated by the committee.

"GEORGE THE VERSATILE"

G eorge Dutton first started with the Club in 1949 and has played continuously since and even survived the "black days" of the ea rly I 950's. G eorge's favourite habit is to back up for the firsts on the sa me day after having played for the seconds. In 1953 George accomplished this feai

Ken (Goals) Mcl ean has again had a successful season. Ken's record

f the most successful goal-kicker in three out of the last four seasons

is something to be proud of. There must be something about Miller's beer!

SLIDE 9

(cousin of Brian G ray, of Collingwood). Elusive and has plenty of footbal l

brain. His ball ha nd ling is always a pleasure to see.

Centre half-back Geoff O 'Callaghan has had a few ups and downs recently, but is always 'Cl thorn in the side to any centre-half forward. Half- back fl anker B

b C lancy, a solid defender whom we re member best in the

second semi-final. Wingman Don Beriy, a speedy footballer who revels in the heavy going, particularly when the pressure is on . Centreman Garry Sau nders, without a doubt the football find of the year; a sure thing for the "big time"

in a season or two. Wingman Doug L0mbourne has been in and out of the

team during the season, but towards the end improved with eve ry game; · a nice footba ller. Wingman Chester Chance, a gcod play-on type of footbal ler; we'll see a lot of him next year. Half-forward fla nker Rod Legg never misses an

pportu nity and has a very safe pair of hands. Centre-half forward J ohnny

Morris, vice-captain. The league's Best and Fai rest award winner and the club's leading goal-kicker. This surely must spea k for itself. A dynamic footballer. Half-forward flanker Adrian Tul k would probably make his presence felt in any team and is a nice hig h marker. Rover Terry Cashmore, a stylish footballer with the ability to turn out of the packs and supports

efficiently. Rover Brian Prior, the Club's Best and Fairest award winner, and

a born footballer with the speed and ag ility to back him up. Ruckman Ian Meadowcroft perfor ·ms well wherever he plays and is a nice mark. Full forward Vic Edwards, captain. A great uti lity player and a real inspiration to the team. Best of luck, Vic, we'll miss you. Ruckman Bob Jansen, a hard-hitting ruckman who keeps on the move. His play is a pleasu re to watch. Rover Jack Davey, B est and Fairest and leading goa l-kicker for the final s, Jack is really a beautiful footballer. Ruckman Denis McMillan, a good positional player who paves the way for the little men. Sorry to see you go, Denis, and the best of luck. Fu ll forward Dickie Wright. A real bulldog type footballer who won 't give up. He'll be ons of our best next year. Half-back flanker Garry Fearne. They don't come any keener than G arry, and we'll see a lot of him next season. So until next season may Sydney Naval prosper.

MR. ALBERT BATES
Mr. Albert Bates has been a mem ber of the Sydney Naval Club since

1925, when he joined as a vice-president. He has always been an active member, except during the last wa r when he served with the mercha nt navy, and has acted as timekeeper on regular occasions. He has been in regular attenda nce and has guided many young players. In addition , he has on many occasions donated trophies to the players. His keenness and ability have led to a disti nguished and varied sporting career and he can proudly look back over the period when he saw and played with or aga inst many of the best Australian sportsmen. His association with Australian Ru les in New South Wales dates back to 1903 when he was a member of the first premiership side of the newly formed League when he represented the old East Sydney clu b against North Shore. Between 1903 and 1921 he played with East Sydney, Balmain and South Sydney, whom he captained. for-

.-+.wo seasons.

In 1907 he recalls that he played for East Sydney in the grand finals

aga inst the Sydney Club when Sydney C lu b lost only one match. This was played under unique circumsta nces as New Zealand wanted to play N.S.W. at Rugby League. However, due to the strength of Rugl$y Union and Australian Rules, no ground was available. But the Australian Rules agreed to allow the Rugby League to use the old Agricu ltural Ground for the game with the provision that Easts and Sydney played the supporting

fixture. For the first time in Rugby League history an international fixture

was preceded by an Austral ian Rules match . For five consecutive years he played for the Sydney Native Born versus other States and reca lls that the former were unbeaten. At the age of 66 years the Club saw fit to show its appreciation of

Mr. Bates' services by making him a life member.

"NIRIMBA" - SYDNEY NAVAL THIRDS

3rd G RA DE SI DE

Although the Gra nd Fi nal Flag slipped from ou r grasp, our fi rst se ason

1n football has been most successful, considering t he obstacles t hat had

to be overcome to e nter the competition . O ur prominence is due to the keenn ess of ou r fifty-four registered players a nd many othe rs in th e back- ground who contri buted so much e ncouragement to the footba ll-minded patrons at Nirimba, that the demand for a competition cou ld not oe ignored. The driving force of Da nny W ilson, Col Mason and J ack Magner, plus t he assistance of our patrons, Don Sch ul tz and Don Mc ivor, soon had us on t he foot ba ll map and within a week of the movement bein g ma d e we were pa rt of the g reat Sydney Nava l Foot bal l Club. However, o ur problems had just begun, beca use with so ma ny pla yers available arid only

ne tea m ente red ' in t he competition many we re doomed to disappoint-

ment , the result of which saw many players on the sideline as spectators. Next year, which fo r most of us can 't come q uickly enough , wi ll see ma ny of t his year's footba ll faces on t he field, plus an abundance of you ng talent which hasn't yet been fully exp lored. The b ru nt of the tea m's play wil l be borne by th e fo llowing seasoned players: Ruckma n J ohn Coffey, a

great tea m ma n, who g ives encourage ment to a ll by his efforts. Full-back

Peter Thompson, the real warrior of t he side, who has been the envy of

the r clubs with his atta cking ab ilit y in defence. Back-pocket and back-

fla nker Bob Loft house , who wi ll d eve lop into a real powerhou se footballer , is a lways sound a nd re liable. Ha lf-back flanker a nd rover Graem e Tomasetti

It is interesti ng to record an extract from a meeting of the N.S.W.

Footba ll Association held on 4th May, 1903. "The N.S.W. Football Association was formed on 30th J une, 1880 and the Football Club was formed on 6th August , 1880." Although the Association collapsed in 1898 it was re-formed again in 1903 and operated under the N.S.W. A.N.F.L. The Sydney Naval Club was included in the N.S.W. A.N.F. L. and is therefore in its 6 1 st year of footba ll :

PAG ES OF THE PAST - THE 1903 SID E

One of the most enjoyable games of the season was played on Anzac Day aga inst H.M.A.S. Nirimba. The star of the game was our self-appointed manager-capta in-coach-selector-goal-kicker and rover. He kicked three "B arassi" goals and rounded off the day at approximately 2359 with a memorable rendition of "That Old Black Magic". This will be confirmed by John the "B at Killer".

AUSTRA. LIAN RULES AT "ALBATROSS"

Many people may not know that Sydney Naval have in t he past year' drawn many fine Rules players from H.M .A.S. Albatross, a Royal Australian Naval Fleet Air Arm B ase, situated five miles from Nowra . The town site

f Nowra is some one hundred miles south of Sydney-a picturesque town ,

bordered by the Shoa lhaven River. Not only do Sydney Naval field players from Albatross, but South Sydney also have made t heir claims on some of the "stars" from the south. Rules at Albatross has been given a shot in the arm since 1955, wiih the teams in the Sydney area keen to obtain footba llers of the calibre

f the players from this depor. Albatross made headlines in the Rules

world when in 1957 they played a combined Services side at Tru mper Park and went down by one point. This in the minds of many Rules fol lowers was a great feat. Then in 1958 Albatross entered the mid-week Services competition, playing aga inst Army, Air Force and N.S.W. Police teams. In 1958-59 they were run ners-up in this .competition, then in 1960 they won t he grand fi nal undefeated, arid again in 1962. This year 1963, as in 196 1, they had the misfortune to be beaten in the fin als. Some great footballers have come and gone from Albatross, and to name them would fil l a book, but some I call to mind are: Ray Stivey, now captain-coach of South Sydney, also State player fo r some man y yea rs. Ralph Turner, now captain-coach Sydney Naval, also State player and State captain for many years. B ernie Jeffries, giant full forw_

ard. Leon

O 'Donnell, captain-coach Albatross 1963, State player, playing with South Sydney since 1958. Ted Clarke, State player 1962-63. I ran Struhs, fine rover. Pat McCartney, now playing with Clmemont in West Australia. B arry Part- ridge, fine forward. Kevin Reilly, great footballer, also playing at present

in W.A.A. N.F.L: These are only a few of the past greats who have worn the

Albatross and Navy Inter-Service jumper. At

p

r ~sent

players fro m Albatross playing with Sydney Naval are Mike Carr, Ron Onley, Bill Hilzinger, Neil Rutzo, Tassie J ohnston, Trev. Mathers, Kev. Taylor, Ken Staff, Nick Wells, B

b Croft, Keith Mu rphy.

South Sydney also have as many fine footba lie rs as those named. Each year, when inter-Service arrives, no fewer than twelve to fifteen players from Albatross ga in selection fo r the Eastern Area Australian Rules side, and since 1958 Navy has been undefeated. This then in itself spea k s well for the type of Rules players that from time to time may be drafted to Albatross and is a wonderful boost to Rules itself here in New South Wales. Before closing this small review of Rules at Albatross, a special mention must be made of "Punchy" G ilbert, who was a great worker for Ru les both in Albatross and in bringing many fine footba llers to the wea.ring of the "red and blue" of Sydney Naval. We all know that in seasons to come, many more fi ne players from Albatross will join clubs in Sydney and perhaps wear the State jumper and inter-Service jumper, as many great players have in the past.

CLUB PATRON

The C lu b desires to express its app reciation once more to popular Ron B

ennett, who has been our Patron for the last 10 years. His assistance by way of fi nance and donations has been instrumental in the C lub's presenl financial status being at such a high level. The name of Ron B ennett is a by-word amongst officials, players and supporters, who are indeed grateful to this pleasing personality. The Club would like to express its appreciation for services rendered to Dr. B. Maguire and Dr. H. Hatfield for their medical attention during the season, and to St. Vincent's Hospital fo r their untiring efforts toward

ur players.
