NEWMAN 

ENIOR students returned to Newman 

0 on the night of March 7, to find a 

College strangely quiet and subdued. 

Perhaps, recalling sights and sounds of 

history, they were puzzled. It could not 

be that there were no students, for the tale 

had spread that the number of residents 

for the year would be near the record mark, 

and most of them would now have 

returned. Then came full remembrance. 

No longer from somewhere along the 

Common Room Wing did "a mad medley 

of echoes" ring out. The cloisters were 

abandoned. Silent, dark, and empty was the 

swimming pool. The freshmen walked 

their way in peace, for "first-night initiation" 

had been abandoned. 

The subject of initiation yearly provides 

a topic for discussion in these pages, and 

at the general meetings of the Students' 

Club. Many methods of administration 

have been tried, but none has yet been 

evolved which has satisfied the two extremes 

1111111116140%/7 h'A/ 

VOL. XIX 

Day by Day 

NOVEMBER, 1 9 37 

of viewpoint on the subject. The last few 

years have seen the development of a trend 

towards ameliorating the lot of the freshman, 

and, in pursuance of this policy, it 

was decided by the Club at the end of last 

year to abandon "first-night initiation," and 

to reduce the number of "Common Room" 

nights. This policy was carried out at the 

beginning of the year, and, in addition, the 

Initiation Committee saw fit to dispense with 

the Freshers' Examination and the Freshers' 

Concert. The general opinion of the Club 

that the efficiency of initiation was somewhat 

impaired by such wholesale departures 

from precedent, expressed itself at a 

resolution passed at the Third Term 

General Meeting in September, in favour 

of the restoration of "first-night initiation." 

Commencement passed almost unnoticed 

in the College this year, and the gap which 

the abolition of the Block Parade and the 

Gala Night opened up between the Colleges 

and the rest of the University in regard to

4 

celebrations at this time of the year is 

growing steadily wider. Those events were 

the highlight of College co-operation with 

the rest of the University, and it is a pity 

that no efficient substitute has been found 

to replace them. At the beginning of the 

year a move was made to restore both the 

Gala Night and the procession, but it did 

not commend enough support among the 

students as a whole to overcome the 

opposition raised to it by various authorities. 

Once again First Term brought success 

to Newman on the field of sport. Our 

twelvth cricket championship—the fifth in 

succession—was gained after an interesting 

match against Ormond in the final. 

Especially worthy of note was the magnificent 

innings of the captain, A. Ley, In 

scoring 253 not out he must be counted 

unfortunate in not passing Stuart King's 

inter-Collegiate record of 260. 

It is now our pleasant duty to record a 

Newman success on the river. The victory 

of the Second Eight, not only in the Intercollegiate 

Race, but also in the race against 

the Extracollegiate Seconds, was full of 

merit, and our heartiest congratulations are 

due to Mr. Keon-Cohen, the coach, and to 

the crew. The First Eight did well this 

year under the coaching of Mr. McCarthy. 

Though beaten by Ormond in the heat, they 

have at least the consolation of knowing 

that they were beaten by an outstanding 

crew, who were pressed more closely by 

us in the heat than they were by Trinity in 

the final. 

It is, however, on the athletics that we 

dwell with most pride. Last year we had 

high hopes of retaining the Cato Shield, 

which was won so brilliantly in 1935. Those 

hopes were dashed. This year our chance 

of success did not seem nearly so bright, but 

the team rose to the occasion in a wonderful 

way, and won back the Cato Shield by the 

slender margin of one point. The suspense 

and thrill of that last desperate quarter mile 

will long be remembered by those who 

witnessed the race. The credit for this 

wonderful victory must go to the coach, Mr. 

R. J. Triado, who not only gave the team 

the benefit of his expert advice, but inspired 

NEWMAN 

them to victory by his determination and 

confidence. We thank him heartily. 

The social activities of the College 

during the first term were the Mixed 

Doubles Tennis Tournament and the First 

Term Dance. The entry for the tennis 

tournament was smaller than usual, but the 

standard was high. We must congratulate 

Frank Lynch and Miss Galbally on retaining 

the title which they won last year. The 

fine organizing work of the Secretaries, 

Messrs. Mulvany and Billings, ensured the 

success of the dance. 

On taking stock of our football possibilities 

at the beginning of second term, we 

felt disposed to optimism concerning our 

chances of retaining the A. L. Kenny Cup. 

Our losses of last year were made good 

out of freshman talent, and, with the 

benefit of the able coaching of Mr. Stuart 

King, a fine team took the field. The first 

match against Queen's was won in very 

easy fashion, and we once more proved too 

strong for Ormond in a fast and vigorous 

final. It is fitting that we should pay tribute 

to the Captain, J. Peters, who was playing 

his last Intercollegiate game in the final. 

A member of seven championship teams, he 

has been captain for the last four years. 

His magnificent play has always been a 

source of inspiration to the team, and his 

place will be very hard to fill. Our victory 

in the football gave us our third championship 

for the year—a feat which we have 

now accomplished three times. 

The annual "At Home" followed custom 

by taking place at Earl's Court on the night 

of the football final, and by being an 

unqualified success. The hall was decorated 

in the College colours, and the attendance 

was most satisfactory. The official guests 

present were : The Rector, the Dean, the 

Chancellor (Sir James Barrett), and Lady 

Barrett, the Vice-Chancellor (Dr. R. E. 

Priestley) and Mrs. and Miss Priestley, the 

Chairman of the Professional Board (Prof. 

D. B. Copland) and Mrs. Copland, the 

Warden of the Union (Dr. W. Bryden), 

the Master of Ormond (Mr. D. K. Picken), 

the Acting-Principal of Janet Clarke Hall 

(Miss W. Jennings), the Senior Student of

7

NEWMAN 

St. Mary's Hall (Miss Margaret Ryan), 

Mr. and Mrs. P. F. O'Collins, Mr. and 

Mrs. J. F. Mulvany, Dr. and Mrs. Clarebrough, 

Mr. and Mrs. Stuart King, and 

representatives of the student bodies of the 

other Colleges. 

Lady Cussen, Mrs. A. L. Kenny, and the 

Matron (Miss Egan) once again paid us 

the honour of acting as hostesses. 

The secretaries for the "At Home" were 

Mr. T. A. Grano and Mr. P. H. Cody. 

The success of the function is ample proof 

of their secretarial excellence. 

The College Retreat was held as usual 

at Loyola, Watsonia, over the week-end, 

July 3-4. Under the spiritual guidance of 

Fr. K. McKillop, S.J., it proved highly 

successful. 

July 27 was the date of the Annual Golf 

Tournament this year, and the links of the 

Commonwealth Golf Club were again the 

scene of action. This is only the third Golf 

Tournament which has been held, but its 

popularity is already firmly established, both 

inside the College and among the Old Boys. 

The Old Boys seem especially keen to 

ensure the continued success of this meeting, 

and they gave practical proof of their 

enthusiasm by turning up at Commonwealth 

in large numbers. This event should serve 

in future as a most valuable link between 

the Old Boys and the student body of the 

College. The Club was honoured this year 

by the presence of the Rector at the links 

for a short time during the afternoon. The 

thanks of the Club are again due to Dr. 

J. B. O'Collins for his generous donation 

for trophies for the competition. 

The Annual Sports Dinner was held on 

Wednesday, August 11th. The attendance 

Was not as large as on some previous 

occasions, but the function nevertheless was 

very successful. One of its most notable 

features was the high standard of the 

speeches made by both past and present. 

The fine flowers of oratory were not so 

noticeable in other places where there was 

perhaps more reason to expect them. It 

is sad to relate that the art of dialectic 

was almost entirely neglected in the College 

this year, especially when we consider 

Newman's great record in this sphere in 

the few short years of her history. There 

was no enthusiasm for the internal debates, 

and we were not unnaturally defeated in 

both Intercollegiate contests. We had not 

even the satisfaction of knowing that we 

were doing our best, for it is the unpalatable 

truth that the Newman Debating Society 

failed of its objects this year because it 

did not get the support to which such an 

important aspect of College life is entitled. 

Our return to College after the Second 

Term Vacation was saddened by the news 

of Michael Mulcahy's death, which occurred 

on Thursday, August 26. It was the first 

occasion in the short history of the College 

that a student has died while in residence. 

On Saturday, August 28, the Rector said 

Mass in the College Chapel for the repose 

of his soul. At this Mass, Michael's mother 

and several members of the family were 

present. The few students then in College 

(it was vacation) attended. At the Requiem 

in St. Patrick's Cathedral on Tuesday, 

August 31, the members of the College 

attended in academic dress. On the 

following Monday (when College had 

reassembled), the Rector said Mass for the 

repose of his soul in the College Chapel, in 

the presence of the entire student body. 

The Annual Regatta was held on 

September 10, and proved a most enjoyable 

event, in spite of the unpropitious weather 

which curtailed much of the "joyous 

confusion" commonly associated with our 

Regatta day. 

Our efforts in connection with the 

Intercollegiate Tennis Championship were 

more serious and enthusiastic than they 

have been in some past years. Those with 

a chance of selection trained hard, and 

their efforts merited a better fate than the 

defeat (eight rubbers to none) which they 

suffered at the hands of Ormond in the 

first round of the competition. 

The Third Term Dance, which was held 

as usual at the end of "Swot Vac.," proved 

very enjoyable, despite an attendance which 

was smaller than usual. The secretaries 

were Messrs. Peters and Gurry. 

The Rector had the pleasure during the 

5

it 

6 NEWMAN 

year of officiating in the College Chapel 

at the marriages (with Nuptial Mass) of 

three Old Boys. John Wren was married 

in April, Gerald Delany in September, and 

Jack Galbally in October. 

The Students' Club tenders its sympathy 

to J. Peters, J. McGrath, and T. McCarthy, 

who lost their fathers during the year. 

Once more the Students' Club finds itself 

under a deep debt of gratitude to the Rector 

for his many kindnesses during the year. 

The relations between the Rector and the 

student body remain as friendly as before, 

and year by year we can point to fresh 

evidence of the Rector's practical interest 

in the affairs of the College. The 

number and strength of our tutorial staff 

is one striking interest—the development of 

the library is another. In the realm of 

things more material, we have to thank 

him for his kindness in refurnishing the 

Students' Lounge, and in top-dressing the 

lawn tennis court. The secretaries of the 

"At Home" will also bear witness to the 

value of his assistance to them in the 

performance of their onerous duties. We 

were glad to see him make such a good 

recovery from the severe illness which 

occasioned his absence from the College for 

a considerable period earlier in the year. 

We have also to thank the Dean and Fr. 

Kelly for assistance graciously rendered 

many times during the year. 

A special word of gratitude to Matron. 

She takes a deep interest in our well-being, 

and she is of great help to us on many and 

many an occasion. She is always ready to 

consider our point of view when various 

"problems" present themselves ; her cooperation 

on social occasions is wholehearted 

and wonderfully helpful. We want 

to take this opportunity of thanking 

Matron, and assuring her that we fully 

appreciate her kindness.

IN building the new Union House at 

considerable expense, the University 

authorities have had as one of their 

chief aims the furthering of what is generally 

spoken of as the "corporate spirit" of 

the University. It has been felt by all that 

this essential to the proper functioning of a 

University has been lacking in a great 

measure in the past in this University. 

Possibly this has been the fault of the 

human entities that have gone to make up 

the University. If it has, then they have 

many valid excuses. The corporate spirit 

of the great Universities of Oxford and 

Cambridge has been built up through the 

College system. In this University, though 

we are fortunate in having University 

Colleges, they only serve a small fraction 

of the student body. Only one student in 

seven is in College. 

In these circumstances it is not surprising 

to find that there is more corporate spirit 

within the University Colleges than among 

the Extracollegiate students. It is, however, 

surprising to find so little co-operation 

between the Colleges, and the rest of the 

University. One would have expected that 

the Colleges would give a lead to the rest 

of the University in this matter. But far 

from giving a lead, they have a tendency to 

shut themselves up in monastic seclusion, 

assured in their own special comforts. 

The new Union House will provide for 

Extracollegiate students, many of the 

amenities which, we in College, are fortunate 

in already possessing. But it is also 

designed to remedy the other defect in 

University life. The Union House is 

intended to close the gap that undeniably 

exists between the Colleges, and those 

outside them. Whether it will succeed in 

that object depends entirely on us College 

men. 

It has been repeated to the point of 

monotony, that men in College do not at 

the present time take enough part in the 

affairs of the University as a whole. This 

is probably true of all the University 

The University 

NEWMAN 

Colleges. It is most certainly true of 

Newman. It should be obvious that we 

have much to gain by widening our sphere 

of interests, but no amount of shouting and 

arguing can break down the peculiarly 

parochial attitude that is characteristic of 

many of us. On the whole, we are not 

even disposed to make an effort to interest 

ourselves in that greater portion of the 

University which lies outside the College 

walls. 

It has been said in the past by those of 

the "exclusive" type of mind, that members 

of a University College are a self-sufficient 

body, and need no external stimulus to 

enable them to get the best out of their 

University life. This might possibly be 

true in a College composed of men of outstanding 

intellectual energy and creativeness. 

But the normal type of College man 

needs all the stimulus he can get from 

outside, even to keep him intellectually 

awake. 

It would appear, from ancient writings, 

that there once was a time when the 

Colleges led the way for the rest of the 

University in all the intellectual and social 

pursuits of the corporate life. Such a thing 

was natural to expect, since Collegiate 

students had advantages of association, 

which were denied to Extracollegiates. But 

in recent years, because of a decline in the 

Colleges, the driving force in University 

life, as a whole, has been the Extracollegiate 

body, and this even under their disability. 

This tendency was noted in these pages 

some years ago, and an appeal was 

made to the College men to recover their 

lost leadership. That plea, apparently fell 

upon deaf ears. 

Now, with the provision of proper 

facilities for association in the new Union 

House, the disability under which Extracollegiates 

have been labouring for so long 

has been lifted. The conditions have been 

made equal, and it is up to College men 

to make the Colleges once more the vital 

force in the University that they should be.

NEWMAN 

His Grace the Archbishop (1912-1937) 

His Grace, the Archbishop of Melbourne, 

the Chairman of the College Council, 

celebrated on October 6, the twenty-fifth 

anniversary of his episcopal consecration. 

We tender our respectful congratulations 

There appeared in "Newman," 1936, a 

very welcome announcement concerning 

the College Chapel. This was to the effect 

that work was to commence on the Chapel 

as soon as the necessary preliminary 

arrangements had been completed. 

The Chapel 

to his Grace on his Silver Jubilee, and 

express the earnest hope that he will be 

granted many more years in which to add 

to the magnificent record of his administration. 

Mr. W. P. Conolly and Messrs. Payne 

and Dale were selected as joint architects 

for the Chapel. They have been and are 

working steadily and strenuously on the 

plans, grappling with the many problems 

which work of this nature presents. 

The "Annie and Edward Eagerty" 

Scholarship 

TEIE Chairman of the Council (His 

Grace, the Archbishop) informed the 

Rector, during the year, that a new 

scholarship, the "Annie and Edward 

Eagerty" Scholarship, was to be founded. 

The late Mr. Edward Joseph Eagerty had 

left in trust with his sisters £1,000 for this 

purpose. In their letter to the Archbishop, 

when making the gift, Mr. Eagerty's sisters 

wrote, "His wishes were to found a 

scholarship at Newman College as a 

memorial of, and in honour of, his and our 

late dear mother. We, and his daughters 

also, think that it would be fitting to include 

his name, and call it the 'Annie and Edward 

Eagerty' Scholarship. His aim was to help 

some boy of ability and small means to be 

a credit to his Faith and Country." 

The Rector, Council, and Members of the 

College are very greatful for this generous 

gift. In the Masses offered for our 

benefactors, the donor will not be forgotten.

WE bid hereunder farewell and good 

luck to thirteen of our fellow 

students who passed out at the end 

of last year :— 

Connaughton, F. W., M.B., B.S.— 

A man of leisure, final Med., 

He dwelt amongst us, Five-Foot Fred. 

Late to rise was little P., 

But never late for morning tea; 

Never able to decline 

The chance to play another nine. 

Now times have changed for Doctor Fred; 

He scarcely ever gets to bed, 

And when he does he can't relax; 

He dreams about his income tax. 

Bateman, P. J.— 

He studied law; 

He made a score; 

This valediction's an encore; 

He figured on this page before 

Way back in nineteen thirty-four. 

Darveniza, P.—"Darv." to you. Time 

just didn't mean a thing to him. A most 

versatile student, who favoured the Modern 

Side. "Rowing's a good sport, see, 'cos 

you're sitting down all the time." 

England, J. R. F.—The prince of jesters 

he—always tricking, never tricked. His 

favourite sports : Teasing Tony, ragging 

Ras, picking winners, playing jazz. 

Fox, R. G.— 

He stayed not long; 

He lacks a song. 

Valete 

"They pass by many ways." 

N E W M A N 

Harrold, J. G.— 

To the Eastern mind the highest station 

For man benight, 

Is a life of peace and contemplation; 

He saw the light. 

Jowett, W. G., M.Sc.—Did not neglect 

sport while proceeding towards a Mastership 

of Science. He captained the cricket 

team to success last year, and was a fine 

forward at football. Pet aversion: Noise. 

Kuhlmann, C. A., M.B., B.S.—A quiet 

and steady worker, and excellent footballer. 

Seriously minded. Habitue of the Saturday 

night school. 

Lynch, F. G., Dip.Com . — Energy 

personified. Successfully combined articles 

in city by day with Commerce at night. 

Did much for College tennis, winning Old 

Boys' Cup twice in succession. Makes a 

specialty of mixed doubles. 

McDonnell, F. C.—He came and went in 

the same short year. A medical student 

en passant. 

McPherson, A. C., LL.B.—His success 

was prodigious in matters litigious. Ran a 

close second in finals last March. Did not 

work all the time. 

Power, J. F., B.E1.E.— 

He was seldom seen; he was seldom heard; 

He didn't believe in interfering; 

He kept himself right to himself, 

And his course was Engineering. 

Ryan, M. J.—All smiles was Myles when 

cars were conversation. Keen student of 

works of Ellington, Gershwin, etc. Social 

celebrity. As a footballer beyond compare.

Are We Australian Nationals ? 

THE relation to each other of the 

countries of the British Commonwealth 

of Nations is to-day, in 

most of those countries, a subject 

of great controversy. Only here in 

Australia, it seems, are people completely 

unaware of a growing challenge to the 

hitherto-accepted policy of imperialism for 

all countries painted red upon the map. At 

the recent Imperial Conference, very 

different tendencies were revealed in the 

other components of the Commonwealth. 

South Africa, Canada, India, and, above 

all, Ireland, have flung down the gage, 

to imperialism, and stand for the maintenance 

of their respective national individualities 

and independence. Australia, apart 

from England, is practically the last home 

of the imperially-minded. 

A key that opens the door to these 

matters is the subject of British nationality. 

A few months ago it was declared in Britain 

by Sir Berriedale Keith, that according to 

law, there are no nationals in Australia, but 

only British subjects, who are also British 

nationals—the two terms being synonymous. 

A "British subject"—this constitutional 

authority defines as a subject of the British 

King, not necessarily, however, a subject 

of Great Britain. 

These complications apparently arise out 

of the constitution of the British Commonwealth 

of Nations, which incorporates a 

number of free nations, owing allegiance 

only to the Crown. Under this arrangement, 

all of us—Australians, Canadians, Indians, 

South Africans—are subjects of the 

British King. From this assumption leads 

a pretty train of inconsistencies and 

absurdities. The plain meaning of words, 

apart from all legal phraseology, tells us 

that a British subject is a subject of Great 

Britain. Therefore, we Australians are all 

subjects of Great Britain. While the good 

Professor denies this, he affirms that we 

are British nationals, and furthermore, that 

we are not Australian nationals. Thus 

would he seem to deprive us of the right 

to be members of our own country. 

In South Africa the unsoundness of this 

position is keenly sensed, for the Premier, 

General Hertzog, plans to introduce legislation 

clearly defining his fellow countrymen, 

not as British subjects, but as subjects or 

nationals of the Union of South Africa. A 

large section of British thought in South 

Africa immediately interpreted this proposed 

move as an act of disloyalty to 

England, and there is agitation at present 

to preserve the "right" of South Africans 

to be British subjects. It will remain 

to be seen whether these South African 

imperialists can shake the South African 

nationalists now in power, who hope to 

establish the right of their countrymen to 

be, not British subjects, but South Africans. 

Here in Australia little notice appears to 

have been taken of Sir Berriedale's state, 

ments. There was one voice raised in 

Western Australia, in the form of a 

vigorous protest written to the London 

"Morning Post" by Mr. Edgar Crampton. 

In challenging the Professor's views quoted 

in the same columns, Mr. Crampton cited 

himself as an example of an Australian 

national. 

"I, my parents, and two of my grandparents 

were born in Australia, and have 

never set foot in any other land. I am 

loyal to, I am proud of, and I will help to 

defend, my own country—Australia—and 

my fellow countrymen and women— 

Australians. I do not feel patriotically 

obliged to say the same about Great Britain, 

whose troubles, I feel, are her own, and very 

little concern of mine .. . 

"I am loyal to our King, but the King's 

loyal subjects in any other of his Dominions 

(including Great Britain), are not fellowcountrymen 

of mine . . . Their interests 

may directly oppose mine ; their foreign 

relations may be—and often are—a train 

of gunpowder laid to Australia's doorstep 

"Professor Keith, in effect, denies to an 

Australian the right to be truly loyal to the 

11

12 

country of his birth—that is, he denies the 

Australian's right to place his country's 

welfare before the welfare of all others. 

"I know that if ever the occasion 

necessitates it, the Australian nation will 

explode entirely that false observation or 

be obliterated in the attempt." 

Whether we are to accept Sir Berriedale 

NEWMAN 

Keith's postulation that there are no 

nationals in Australia, but only British 

subjects, or whether we are to reject the 

whole legal rigmarole as fictitious, and 

completely divorced from reality, is a choice 

which the Australian people, however 

unwilling, must make. 

—D.B.P. 

A Culture for Australia 

"Come near and sing 

This great nameless, new-found thing, 

This Australia." 

-0 country has ever produced great art 

N when, like Australia to-day, it was 

lacking in self-respect. This is so 

obviously true that it needs no demonstration. 

Even a superficial acquaintance with 

the cultural history of Greece, Rome, 

France, England, or any country proves it. 

We must lose our "colonial complex." 

Culture requires an element both of 

nationalism and internationalism. If it were 

undivided by national boundaries, it would 

be dull and cold. Shakespeare's work bears 

definitely the mark of the place of its origin, 

as does the drama of Corneille and Racine, 

the prose of Bossuet and Jeremy Taylor, 

and the poetry of Homer and Virgil. Is 

there not a distinctively Chinese art, and 

does not the Ramayana breathe the spirit 

of India? 

Australian culture will be built up, of 

course, on a foundation of the European 

tradition, but modified of necessity by 

Eastern influences, due to our geographical 

position, and above all by the effect of the 

very distinctive physical nature of our 

continent. I think it is inevitable that the 

East will greatly influence our culture, and 

an understanding of Eastern culture will be 

a great aid in the development of our own. 

After all, while it is to be hoped that 

Australia will always remain a Christian 

country, Christianity should not be looked 

upon as a purely Western phenomenon, 

incompatible with Eastern culture. I do 

not agree, therefore, with those who think 

that, since English and Irish people have 

gathered the impression that Australia is 

"raw and remote," the European cultural 

tradition should be followed in toto in 

Australia. Since our population is 

composed of people of European stock, 

European tradition has a special claim on 

us, but, as we are witnessing the evolution 

of a distinct national type, European culture, 

unmodified, seems out of place in this 

country. Most Australians are relaxing 

more and more, in sentiment, their grip on 

Europe. After all, we are as far away from 

Europe as we could be, we are an Eastern 

country geographically, and the symbolism 

and mythology of European literature and 

art suit Europe but not Australia. 

We do not want a return of the 

"larrikin" type of writing which flourished 

thirty years ago, for we have much to learn 

from the civilisation of older countries, but, 

to build up in the future a culture of 

significance, a love and respect for Australia 

is essential. 

I have assumed that Australia's contribution 

to the finer side of the world's 

civilisation has so far been negligible. Most 

Australian's realise this, but the tragedy of 

it is that we don't seem to care. As St. 

Augustine said : "Quid miseries misero non 

miserante se ipsum?"

N E W M A N 

THERE must always be a sharp line 

of division between the popular 

and the scientific treatment of a 

subject. Science has its own language, 

and scientists like to hear it used. 

On the other hand, those not scientifically 

trained detest her technicalities, 

and flee bewildered when they hear the 

scientific torn toms beating. An attempt 

to steer a "media via" is likely to be 

neglected by both readers. However, the 

isolation of the carcinogenic substances and 

their subsequent study represents one of the 

greatest achievements of modern organic 

chemistry, and the results should be of 

general interest to all. 

Cancer is a form of growth which has 

its origin in the uncontrolled increase of 

cells. Nature usually manages to maintain 

balance and order in the body, but some 

rebel cells seem capable of evading and of 

triumphing over her controlling agents. 

Cancer is not considered to be hereditary, 

but tissue transplanted from the affected 

spot can result in cancer transmission. 

When one removes a tumor by surgical 

means, there is still likely to be an outcrop 

of cancer in different parts of the body 

owing to the migration of malignant cells. 

These facts were long known, but until 

very recent years the cause of malignancy 

was not recognised. The work of the 

Cancer Hospital in England has, however, 

opened up a new field for investigation. 

Men engaged in the coal tar industry are 

specially prone to contract skin cancer, and 

in 1915 Japanese workers in Tokyo showed 

that rabbits smeared with coal tar developed 

growths. 

In 1924, Cook, Kennaway, and Heiger 

began a systematic study with the pure 

constituents of the higher boiling fractions 

of coal tar. They used mice as subjects, 

and even with animals of such a short life 

span, cancer takes a year to develop, after 

application to the skin. But after long 

periods the mouse batch still appeared in 

The Quest for Cancer 

the best of health, and the experimenters 

realised that the active agent must be some 

rare constituent not as yet known to 

chemistry. 

It was Heiger, the physicist, who first 

gave hope. Under light excitation, certain 

substances exhibit fluorescence ; i.e., they 

emit light of different wave lengths. Heiger 

noticed three bands in the spectrum of coal 

tar, bands which were not given by any 

substance known to be present. 

Now fluorescence is typical of a particular 

group—the anthracene group. Anthracene 

is the big brother of moth balls. Anthracene 

does not give these bands, but a close 

relation 1, 2, benzanthracene gives three 

similarly related bands in its spectrum. 

Benzanthracene, however, proved practically 

inert as regards carcinogenic activity, for 

only one mouse succumbed to it. They 

expected, however, that bigger compounds 

would not only cause the development of 

cancers, but would also give the elusive 

bands. On applying 1, 2, 5, 6, dibenzanthracene, 

many mice developed growths, 

and for the first time, cancer had been 

produced by a pure hydrocarbon. The 

mystic symbols 1, 2, 5, 6 refer to the 

position of the carbon atoms at which 

substitution occurs in the anthracene 

molecule. They are of no small significance 

as Cook was later to find. He obtained 

dibenzanthracene from a reaction between 

two simple derivatives of moth balls 

(technically known as napthalene), and by 

subsequently heating. Dibenzanthracene, 

however, was not the substance they were 

seeking in the tar, for its spectrum failed 

to satisfy the requirements of the coal tar 

spectrum. 

But they were on the right lines, and the 

work was pursued with renewed zest. Two 

tons of pitch were distilled. The fraction 

boiling from 250-260 deg. C. was free from 

the spectrum-producing substance, and had 

no carcinogenic activity. The slightly 

higher fraction induced cancer, and gave the 

13

14 NEWMAN 

bands. A pure substance was isolated from 

this fraction, and the bands were bright and 

distinct. 

It was all very fine to have discovered the 

mysterious X, but its identification was yet 

another problem. Cook had been the 

leading light in its isolation, and it was 

only fitting that he should be the first to 

classify it. 

Now, pyrene is quite a well-known substance, 

and away back in 1897 Freund and 

Michaels had obtained it with the help of 

napthalene. It is only in very special 

circumstances that moth balls can produce 

their tricks, and although they prove to be 

a stepping stone to the carcinogenic group, 

they are harmless in themselves. Cook 

found that, if succinic acid (a member of 

any respectable lettuce) be robbed of its 

water, it is ready to link up with pyrene, 

and form 1, 2, benzpyrene, which turns out 

to be identical with X. So in 1933, 1, 2, 

benzpyrene had the distinction of being the 

most potent carcinogenic substance known. 

Curiously enough 4, 5, benzpyrene, the twin 

of 1, 2, is quite inactive. 

The advance was not as great as one 

might at first think. 1, 2, benzpyrene might 

be the cause of cancer if one worked with 

coal tars, but few of us have that opportunity. 

Yet we are not immune from this 

malady, which claims one in every eight, and 

which stands second only to heart disease 

as a cause of death. 

The discovery of methyl cholanthrene, 

which is related to the substances 

mentioned, was a new development. It was 

first obtained by the degredation or break 

down of the bile acids. The chemist has 

a tendency to be rather brutal in his 

methods. He oxidises and reduces with 

agents which would cause much discomfit 

in the body. Nature may be less crude in 

achieving similar ends, and it is quite 

possible that the sterols, bile acids, and 

hormones present in the system may be the 

parent substances of these cancer-producing 

hydrocarbons. We can now attribute 

cancer to this particular group, for methyl 

cholanthrene, too, is a substituted benzanthracene, 

and again it is at the carbon 

atoms 5 and 6, that substitution occurs. 

So we can pin the guilt on two apparently 

insignificant carbon atoms in the molecule. 

More care was taken in the breeding of 

the mice used than in the breeding of a 

pedigree dog. Ordinary stock mice of 

different strains differ considerably in their 

susceptibility to cancer. A large number 

of mice were used in the tests, and for a 

reliable comparison of activities a pure 

strain is essential. 

The work is still only in its infancy, and 

its future is unpredictable. The relatives of 

this carcinogenic group happen to be 

Nature's organisers, and their presence can 

modify or determine the course of a natural 

process. It is by studying environments 

where cell proliferation occurs that new 

light may be thrown on the formation of 

these hydrocarbons. 

The only substance known to inhibit 

action once the hydrocarbon is present is 

Mustard gas, which modifys the susceptibility 

of the tissues. It is rather ironical 

that we may have to turn to Mustard gas in 

our hour of need. 

The story of this development shows 

that no single science is self sufficient. In 

the quest for Cancer, the physicist, the 

chemist, and the physiologist had to be 

enlisted. No apportioning of credit can be 

made, for each has contributed something 

in a field vital to the attack. The brilliant 

work of the Cancer Hospital does not make 

us optimistic about the future, but it is to 

be hoped that they will be no less successful 

in finding a remedy, than they have been 

in discovering the cause.

TT is not the age of conversation. The 

familiar chiche of the hustle and 

bustle of the modern machine age 

easily supplies the reason. Yet we 

are fond of the noise made by the 

human tongue, and hate to be long 

absent from it. Through artificial means 

and as part of crowds we enjoy the constant 

blare of men's voices. But it is the fact 

of speech rather than the facts in the speech 

which give us comfort. It is an appeal 

to the mob instinct, the gregarious nature 

of each human being. The use of language 

instead of being something personal to each 

individual is vulgarized to a common 

denominator of familiar catch cries, and 

profanities. 

An appreciation of the exact use and 

usage of words is the first essential to 

clear thought. A determination to choose 

and reject until an idea can be presented 

fully and gracefully clothed should follow. 

True, it is painful to listen to the pedant 

painstakingly picking his way through 

Webster, but it is still more tragic to see 

a mental conception go astray through 

limitation of vocabulary. 

Exercise is the best method of development. 

Only by the constant use of words 

can we learn to manage them efficiently. 

The method lies neither in literature, or 

in literary effort, for one shows the art in 

practice without necessarily teaching the 

art ; and the other is a practice too difficult 

for all of us ; there the greater the perfection, 

the greater the despair. 

But in conversation, we may find the 

natural exercise in words which gives 

familiarity and ease. 

There have been generations, particularly 

those of the eighteenth century, which have 

taken delight in conversation for its own 

sake. Concerned with ideas, but equally 

desirous of their exact presentation, they 

needed no artificial aids to pass a pleasant 

and profitable hour. The human tongue 

Conversation 

was given to each of them, and each one 

was encouraged to use it. He who sought 

to dominate the circle with the manner of 

the lecturer was frowned or ridiculed back 

to his proportioned share in the feast of 

words and ideas. Too often now, when we 

meet that rarity of to-day, the good conversationalist, 

we force the lecturer's wand 

into his hand through sheer mental inertia. 

Conversation is the art of making others 

speak, as well as speaking ourselves, and 

most of all it is the art of listening. 

At the outset, reference was made to the 

catch cries and vulgarities which take the 

place of human speech in society. How 

often do "sez you," "your telling me," and 

other familiar Americanisms, not to mention 

the unprintable, which are by far the commonest, 

take the place of a decent exchange 

of speech, even on the most ordinary subjects. 

Amongst a certain group of ninety 

people who enjoy unparalleled opportunities 

for the exercise of the arts and pleasures of 

conversation, it is regrettable to think that 

these forms are not entirely absent. Indeed 

they are perhaps too prevalent. As for a 

conscious effort to get the best out of everyday 

conversational intercourse, that is 

absent ; so far absent, that, alas, it is never 

missed. 

And yet, just for twenty-four hours give 

conversation a real chance. In so far as 

it concerns you personally, practice speaking 

carefully, with a nice regard for meaning, 

and listening politely with an unwonted 

regard for good manners. You will gain, 

and so will all who have to endure your 

presence. In time, given the capacity to 

persevere, you will see the cobwebs of 

chiche which obfuscate the modicum of 

intelligence you possess, pass away, and 

then you will have just begun to appreciate 

the use of the tongue God gave you. God 

help you!

(The following article is a freshman's 

contribution to the solution of contemporary 

problems.—Ed., "Newman.") 

I 

ONCE knew a man who was a student. 

I don't mean a University student, but 

a real student. 

He was a student, as he said himself, of 

the deeper and more profound things of 

life. The political philosophy of the 

Athenians, the constitutional struggles of 

the seventeenth century, and the environs 

of the brachial plexus troubled him not. 

But one problem he could never solve : 

He could never discover which came first 

—the hen or the egg. 

One day he came to me and begged for 

help. 

"It is the first thing that has ever tricked 

me," he said, and forthwith he sang the 

following song :— 

"Our little problems have their day, 

But hens and eggs are more than they." 

My friend was the picture of dejection. 

His wonted self-complacency had vanished. 

I agreed to help him. 

After one month's investigation, we concluded 

that it did not really matter which 

came first. As long as there were plenty 

of eggs for breakfast, and plenty of hens 

for dinner, I was satisfied. As far as the 

problem was concerned, I wanted to surrender 

the ghost. 

But my friend was a student. He kept 

me to my promise, and we persevered. 

Another month went by, and we seemed 

to be one step nearer to a solution. For, 

after numberless interviews with poultry 

farmers, numberless experiments with 

potassium sulphide, and numberless secret 

midnight conclaves, we had made a discovery. 

Since the egg comes out of the hen, 

and the hen comes out of the egg, both 

the egg and the hen must come first. Or, 

if not, neither of them can come first. 

Which, as Euclid once said, is impossible. 

But, after a month's holiday, we 

persevered. 

An Article 

N E W M A N 

By this time we were reduced to the 

saddest straits. "Res," as my friend said, 

"in extremum discrimen adducta est." We 

were prepared to try anything. 

And so one evening we walked into a 

restaurant and approached a man who had 

just finished a seven-course dinner. 

Very politely my friend said, "Excuse 

me, my Epicurean friend, but could you 

please tell me which came first, the hen or 

the egg." At first the Epicurean looked 

amazed. Then his eyebrows lifted, his lips 

parted, and his false teeth showed. 

"I am delighted to oblige," he said. "I 

think I can tell you." 

Our hearts beat frantically. The veil was 

about to be lifted from our eyes. Our 

problem was about to be solved. 

He picked up his menu, and looked at it. 

Then he looked at us, and spoke with the 

tone of authority: "Yes, the egg came 

before the hen." He was silent. 

"But how do you know ?" we demanded 

together. 

His brow clouded. He was getting 

impatient. "Well, the third course consisted 

of egges a la mache. Poultry was the fifth 

course. It seems pretty clear from that 

that the egg came before the hen." 

Our brows clouded. We were impatient. 

We cursed, and slowly walked away. 

Another month passed. I had given up 

hope. 

B,ut there came a day when my friend 

burgt in upon me. His eyes were beaming. 

"I am satisfied," he announced, with much 

solemnity; and something of his old complacency, 

"that it is all a matter of 

perspective. We must try to look at it from 

the hen's point of view. And that's what 

I am going to do." 

The student had become a man of action. 

He said no more, but rushed frantically 

from the room. 

A week passed before I saw him again. 

His face was haggard and drawn. His 

clothes were soiled and smeared with mud.

N E W M A N 

His hair was shaggy, his shoes unrecognisable. 

He did not speak, but I thought I saw 

the truth. His parting words came back 

to me : "We must try to look at it from 

the hen's point of view. And that's what 

I'm going to do." 

The awful truth dawned. Seven days, 

A gentle No, said with a gentle smile, 

Becomes you well, I'd like to have you know; 

For if you said, "Well! Yes!", quite without guile, 

I think I'd reprehend your acting so; 

Oh! not that I could ever weary grow 

Of gathering the fruit for which I sigh, 

But I would like you, weakening, to say, "No! 

I won't give in to you," and thus to lie. 

seven nights, he had crouched patiently 

beneath a roost. 

He had acquired the hen's perspective. 

He had acquired a disgusting vocabulary. 

But, such is the injustice of Fate, he had 

not solved the problem.

MICHAEL MULCAHY. 

THIS year we have to record the death 

of Michael Mulcahy, who died on the 

26th of August, at St. Evin's Hospital, 

after a short illness. His age was 

twenty-seven, and he was in the fourth year 

of his medical course. 

In writing of Michael, it is, as yet, too 

soon to grasp fully the true worth of his 

character. We in Newman, who were 

privileged to spend our years together with 

him, have suffered a personal bereavement. 

To each of us he was a sincere friend, a 

valued companion, and a wise counsellor. 

In 1929, Michael came to Newman from 

Xavier College, and began a medical course. 

At school his record had been brilliant. 

A member of the first XVIII, and a prefect, 

he secured in his final year, high honours 

in classics. 

At that time, people predicted that he 

would achieve many successes in life, for, 

even as a school boy, he revealed qualities 

which were destined to win for him 

universal respect and affection. His choice 

of a medical course was admirably suited 

to his character, with its blend of common 

sense and deep interest in his fellows. His 

first year was passed without difficulty, and 

he proceeded upon his second, fired with 

ambition. 

He did not finish his year, however, for, 

shortly before the examinations, he was 

taken seriously ill, and the next three years 

were spent at Hillside Station, Marble Bar, 

in an endeavour to regain his health. 

Despite many set backs, he achieved the 

apparently impossible, and in 1935 returned 

to Newman to resume his course with 

renewed energy. 

His years in the country were not without 

influence upon his character. To his natural 

love of simplicity and truth, there were 

added an independence of spirit and a 

democratic outlook, which enriched his 

personality. His fight to regain health was 

magnificent, and his return to Newman was 

really a triumph. 

Obituary 

NEWMAN 

Michael successfully completed his 

second year, and third year was passed 

without mishap. Fourth year came, and 

with the final goal in sight, he redoubled 

his efforts, and was progressing splendidly 

when the sudden last illness cut short the 

career begun so auspiciously and so full of 

promise. 

The news of his death was a personal 

sorrow to all who knew him. To each of 

us Michael had been a true friend. A fine 

companion, aglow with gaiety, his ready 

sympathy and understanding won him 

universal affection. 

His work for the College will never be 

fully known, but if there was a difficult 

and thankless task to be done, Michael was 

the man who did it, quietly and efficiently 

as was his way. Despite his devotion to 

medicine, his outlook never tended to 

become narrow. His was a broad culture 

in which a love of music and literature 

leavened the practical common sense of the 

scientist. His opinions were mature, and 

well balanced, and many of us owe a great 

deal to his wise advice. 

His influence for good was very great, for 

he lead by example. As a member of the 

College, his modesty kept him from accepting 

official positions of responsibility. 

Public approbation did not please him. We 

in Newman early recognised that his 

inspiration came from a soul truly noble 

and spiritual. 

And so Michael has gone from amongst 

us. To his mother and family we offer our 

sincerest sympathy. Somehow, we all know 

that his tragically early death did not f orestall 

the possibility of great achievement. 

His tremendous influence for all that is 

worthy in life will continue to bear fruit 

many a year hence. 

Few men have entered Newman, who 

were better loved, or more respected. He 

died as he had lived, a cultured Catholic 

gentleman. 

May his soul rest in peace.

Albert Power Debating Society 

THE history of the Albert Power 

Debating Society this year was 

a dismal fulfilment of the prophecies 

made by so many on this page in 

recent years, that, unless a more general 

interest in debating was shown in the 

College, the society would be in danger 

of disappearing, at least for a time. 

For the past few years the Society has 

been kept together each year by a small 

band of enthusiasts who strove to rouse the 

general body of the students to action, and 

to inspire the freshmen with zeal for the 

cause. On these few members has fallen all 

the burden of arranging and participating in 

internal and Intercollegiate contests, and 

they have done very well considering the 

disabilities under which they were labouring. 

This year, however, even the small group 

of enthusiasts was lacking, and the Society 

suffered accordingly. The approaching 

depression was not at first obvious, as the 

Freshers' Debate went off quite well. Some 

promising talent was revealed among the 

newcomers, and—which was more important—there 

was some excellent and entertaining 

speaking from the House. There 

seemed every reason to be hopeful for a 

successful year, but unfortunately it rapidly 

became apparent that the committee was 

not as energetic and enthusiastic as it might 

have been, and the result was that no 

further debates were held during first term. 

As the weeks of second term went by the 

same apathy was noticeable, and it seemed 

that, for the first time since the inception 

of the contests, Newman would be unable to 

field a team in the Intercollegiate debates. 

This disaster was happily averted by a 

timely burst of energy which resulted in a 

Journey by Messrs. Aird, Mortensen, and 

Westmore to Trinity on the night of July 

28. Their object was to deny "that the 

ideals of democracy were incompatible with 

modern capitalism," but the inherent difficulties 

of the subject, coupled with a certain 

lack of practise and shortness of preparation, 

proved too great a difficulty for the 

team to overcome. The adjudicators, 

Messrs. Burton and Wilson had no 

hesitation in hailing the Trinity speakers as 

victorious by a comfortable margin. 

A week later, in the presence of Professors 

Scutt and Crawford, and the Rev. 

Fr. Hackett, S.J., the Society was again 

represented by Messrs. Aird, Mortensen, 

and Westmore, who sought on this occasion, 

to prove that "the future of the world 

centres in the Pacific." The opposition was 

provided by the William Quick Society of 

Queen's College, whose presentation of the 

case won the unanimous approval of the 

adjudicators. 

This debate closed the activities of the 

Society for the year. It is not a record on 

which we can dwell with any pride. It is 

not the fact that both Intercollegiate contests 

were lost that gives cause for sorrow, 

for that misfortune happened to the club 

even in the days of its greatness. It is the 

manner in which they were lost. In a 

college of nearly record numbers in which 

there are many who are proved speakers of 

ability, it was only with the greatest difficulty 

that a team could be got together. It 

was at best a scratch team, because the 

absence of any internal debating gave no 

opportunity for the essential practice. In 

the circumstances the men selected performed 

creditably, but those circumstances 

should never have arisen. It is regrettable 

that this can be said with truth of a Society, 

which, a few short years ago, was famed in 

the University, and far beyond, and whose 

members took a regular and prominent part 

in University and Intervarsity debating. 

It is, of course, obvious that we can not 

always be blessed with speakers of Intervarsity 

class, but it should not be too much 

to expect of a University college that a 

reasonable number of its members will be 

at least speakers of average merit. The 

Debating Society this year suffered not 

because of lack of ability among those who 

should have spoken, but because of their 

disinclination, for reasons best known to 

themselves, to make the necessary effort.

20 NE VMAN 

ACCOUNTS of Newman sport have 

always been characterised by the 

record of some notable victory, 

but never before has the Editor had 

a happier task than in 1937. We 

won the cricket, the Seconds' rowing, and 

then the race against the Extracollegiate 

Seconds, the athletics, and the football. In 

addition the Second football team won their 

way to the final, only to go down to Trinity, 

and, perhaps best of all, the First crew 

rowed a race really worthy of its ability. 

It does seem that one contest stood out 

this year ; I refer to the athletics. Here 

Newman's sensational last-minute success 

must go down in history as a triumph to 

the securing of which every man's efforts 

were of service. One weak link in the 

Newman side, and once more we would 

have dipped our colours to Ormond. The 

football calls for little comment ; the two 

The World of Sport 

matches were a fitting tribute to our captain, 

Jim Peters, in his last year of Intercollegiate 

sport. The cricket team should 

continue its run of victories for many 

years. The tennis was disappointing in that 

we were drawn against Ormond, the ultimate 

winners ; nevertheless the Newman 

team was of good standard, and performed 

creditably against a better side. 

A pleasing feature of this year has been 

the participation of many Newman men in 

University sport. Thus, in the football, at 

least fourteen men played with the Blacks 

or Blues, and in cricket, athletics, hockey, 

swimming, etc., we were similarly well 

represented. Several were favoured with 

Intervarsity selection, and the pride of 

the men in the honour paid to their College 

was reflected in the warm congratulations 

showered upon the representatives.

N E W M A N 

4-1 OR the second time in the history 

of the College a victorious athletics 

team carried the Cato Shield back 

to Newman on the evening of the 

Intercollegiate athletics meeting. Newman 

had won the athletics for 1937 in 

memorable fashion, for one point gave 

them supremacy over the formidable 

Ormond team, who thus sustained their 

second defeat in the contest since the 

Cato Shield was first presented. Right up 

to the day of the meeting the odds were 

against our team, but the "co-operation" of 

an extra strong Trinity team, and the fact 

that every member of the Newman team 

did his bit, placed Newman colours first for 

the day. Ormond were, however, unfortunate 

in that H. Lawson, one of their 

foremost athletes, was suffering from ankle 

trouble on the day of the sports, and was 

unable to give of his best. He nevertheless 

persevered gamely, and deserves every 

congratulation on his fine effort. 

Before commencing our description of 

the athletics contests it is fitting that we 

should once more offer our sincere thanks 

to our coach, Mr. R. J. Triado, whose 

untiring zeal was mainly responsible for 

our victory this year. Mr. M. V. 

McInerney was also invaluable in this 

regard, and we were sorry to find that the 

Seconds relay team was without his sterling 

services this year. 

The Freshers' sports found a number of 

Newman men participating. Owing no 

doubt, to lack of training through the 

proximity of the cricket final we had no 

outstanding successes, but Coleman made a 

fair showing in the 100 yards, while Westmore 

gave promise of his capabilities as 

a miler. Newman athletes were much more 

conspicuous in the Univ. ersity championships. 

Hartung ran well in the 100 yards; 

Brosnan won the half-mile easily, and was 

second in a record-breaking quarter, while 

Lansell distinguished himself by coming 

second to MacDonald of Ormond in the 

weight putt. Perhaps the most significant 

Athletics 

event of the day was the placing of Newman 

athletes first, second, and third in the 

long jump. McNeill, Batros, and Godby 

filled these respective positions, the winning 

jump being 22 ft. 1 in. McNeill went on 

to complete a double by winning the hop, 

step and jump very comfortably. 

Although the Intervarsity sports were 

held after the Intercollegiate meeting it is 

convenient to mention them here, as Newman 

was very well represented in the team. 

Brosnan, Hartung, Lansell, McNeill, and 

Batros competed on behalf of Melbourne 

University and performed very well. Brosnan 

just failed to retain his 880 yards title ; 

Hartung ran well in the quarter mile; 

Lansell was placed in the weight putt, and 

Batros and McNeill filled second and third 

places respectively in the long jump. 

It is pleasing to record that Newman 

athletes trained enthusiastically and well 

for the Intercollegiate meeting this year, 

and as luck favoured us in the matter of 

injuries, we were able to field a very fit 

team which represented our full athletic 

strength. 

The first event on the Intercollegiate 

programme, the Weight Putt, went, of 

course, to McDonald, of Ormond, who won 

with a putt of 38 ft. 5 in. We were 

jubilant, however, to find that Lansell filled 

second place, and we were well satisfied 

with our position. The 100 Yards was 

run into a terrific wind, and Hartung, 

despite the adverse conditions, showed a 

wonderful return to form in beating the 

University champion, Thwaites, of Trinity, 

in the understandable time of 10 9/10th 

secs. 

Brosnan, running easily, carried off the 

880 Yards without trouble from Nicholson, 

of Ormond; Wilkinson, of Trinity, and 

Holmes, of Ormond, tying for 3rd place. 

Jamieson gained another first for Ormond 

in the Hurdles, while our representatives, 

Godby and Meagher, took 4th and 5th 

places. This race was one of the most 

spectacular of the day. Right up to the 

21

22 N E W M A N 

last hurdle, Jamieson was challenged by 

Dale (T.), Coleman (T.), and Godby (N.). 

Godby then looked like running into second 

place, but missed his stride at the last 

hurdle. He recovered quickly, and finished 

on well, just behind the three leaders. 

Trinity and Ormond shared major 

honours in the High Jump, with Peters in 

3rd place ; but we did better in the 220, with 

Hartung 2nd and Brosnan 3rd. Ormond, at 

this stage, were holding a slight lead from 

us, with Trinity close up in third place, 

but we went into the lead by securing first 

and second places in the Long Jump with 

McNeill and Godby. 

Ormond struck back and regained the 

lead by taking the first two places in the 

Mile, but Newman was kept within striking 

distance by sterling work by Westmore and 

Harris, who finished well in fourth and fifth 

positions. Westmore, a newcomer to the 

team, had already shown his worth by a 

plucky run in the Half-Mile. 

At this stage victory, one way or the 

other, depended on the Quarter-Mile—the 

last race—and the excitement was intense. 

All our hopes rested on Hartung and 

Brosnan, who had to obtain a first and 

second, or first and third to win. Hartung, 

who had run well all day, immediately took 

the lead, running with long, easy stride 

into the wind. Gray, of Ormond, followed, 

with Brosnan in a good position on his 

heels. With 200 yards to go Brosnan 

clapped on the pace to draw away from 

Gray, and for a time the two Newman 

men fought out the lead. At the 100 yards 

Hartung was passed by Gray, but Brosnan's 

superior stamina enabled him to finish 

brilliantly to win in the fast time of 51/ 

seconds. Hartung, though very tired, hung 

on with magnificent courage, and filled third 

place, giving Newman victory by a point. 

At the start of this event Ormond had led 

by two points, so that Newman's first and 

third to Ormond's second and fourth gave 

us victory by 63 points to 62. 

Looking back over the events it is once 

more made abundantly clear for future 

Newman athletes, that it is only through 

consistent place-getting in every event that 

success is gained. Too often in the past 

Newman has failed through relying solely 

on the efforts of a few brilliant performers. 

In conclusion, we wish to thank all those 

who rendered assistance to the team in any 

way, and most especially to our genial and 

indispensable trainer, Mr. Phil. Foster.

"Casting aball at three straight sticks, 

And defending the same with a fourth." 

THAT is all Rudyard Kipling saw in 

cricket, and his opinion is probably 

shared by many who have never 

experienced the joys of the game. International 

cricketers, who are forced to play 

day after day, and week after week, sooner 

or later acquire a similarly prosaic outlook. 

But Intercollegiate cricket, played in the 

"fine, careless rapture" of first term, seems 

to provide the aurea mediocritas, and it is 

especially pleasant when accompanied by 

the sweet fruits of victory. 

Our success in the final against Ormond 

gave us our tenth championship in twelve 

Ley won the toss, and chose to bat on a 

perfect wicket, Billings and Gooden opening 

the innings to the bowling of Witts and 

Philpott. Witts bowled well, and, swinging 

the new ball dangerously into the breeze, 

soon dismissed Gooden lbw, and bowled 

McLennan. Westmore now joined Billings. 

When the shine had worn off the ball, the 

attack became fairly innocuous, and the 

batsmen gradually took command. Billings 

was batting aggressively, and ran quickly 

to 49, before treading on his wicket. At 

lunch the score was three for 106- 

Westmore 34, Ley 6. 

On resumption, the score mounted 

steadily, but when Ley appeared set, he was 

unfortunately run out, and E. Ryan, who 

came next, was caught in slips soon 

afterwards. When the new ball was called 

for at 200, Witts had Westmore, Batros, 

and Peters caught in quick succession, but 

Pierce was reliable in the crisis. The lastwicket 

partnership, between Dowling and 

J. Ryan, contributed 40 runs, and, aided by 

42 sundries, the total reached 280. 

With an hour remaining for play, 

Trinity's first innings commenced to the 

bowling of Dowling and Billings, and when

years, and our fifth in succession, so that 

although Newman's sporting fame rests 

mainly on football, cricket comes not far 

behind. 

From the 1936 team we had lost two 

outstanding men in Jowett (captain) and 

Bateman, who headed last year's batting 

averages. Some talent amongst the 

freshmen, however, enabled their places 

fittingly to be filled. The team comprised: 

A. G. Ley (captain), D. Dowling, J. 

Billings, V. Batros, J. Gooden, H. 

McLennan, J. Peters, K. Pierce, E. A. 

Ryan, J. Ryan, and G. Westmore. 

In the final game, Peters, unfit to play, 

was replaced by R. Godby. 

play stopped at 5.30 the score stood at one 

wicket for 32. Next morning, Dowling and 

Billings were immediately on the spot, and 

between them took four wickets for ten 

runs in a short time. They continued to 

bowl unchanged until the back of Trinity's 

resistance was broken. Leach batted 

pluckily towards the end but without 

support, and Trinity was dismissed before 

lunch for the meagre total of 156. 

Newman's openers, Billings and Westmore, 

were together at lunch, but soon after 

the resumption Philpott dismissed both 

Billings and Gooden with good balls. Ley 

also failed to get a start, being smartly 

stumped. Westmore was now joined by 

E. Ryan, and the threatened collapse was 

averted. Ryan was in breezy form, scoring 

all round the wicket, particularly with 

powerful hooks and sparkling cover-drives, 

and Westmore, taking heed, shed some of 

his caution. 

Westmore continued steadily after tea, 

and had scored 121 not out at stumps. 

Meanwhile, his partners were providing the 

fireworks. Ryan appeared certain to reach 

the century, when he was run out at 83. 

The next batsman was Dowling, whose 

23

24 

innings proved to be the tit-bit of the whole 

Intercollegiate series. Opening his shoulders 

without delay, he scored 55 in 18 minutes. 

Fast and slow bowlers were treated alike, 

and boundaries came in quick succession 

until a lofty shot was caught on the 

boundary, and a successful appeal against 

the light immediately followed. Peters was 

caught in the first over next morning, and 

then McLennan, after scoring 26 forcefully, 

was bowled. Not long afterwards, Westmore, 

after reaching 148, was out lbw, and 

the innings closed with a total of 385. 

Trinity commenced their second innings 

in a carefree manner, and runs came fast. 

M. Clarke and MacDonald both scored 

centuries in quick time, and while they were 

together Trinity had a slight hope of 

success. With them dismissed, however, 

the innings petered out, leaving Newman 

victorious by 182 runs.

stage Westmore, had scored only 18. Pierce 

did not last long. Westmore was then 

joined by Ley, and they gradually mastered 

the attack. At first Ley was uncertain, but 

by lunch, when the total was past 100 for 

two wickets, he was batting soundly. 

On resumption, Ley and Westmore 

again settled down, and together took the 

score past 200; but shortly afterward 

Westmore was caught behind for 78. By 

the tea interval, Ley had reached a fine 

century, and during the rest of the day's 

Play he dominated the stage. His most 

prolific scoring stroke was the pull, and his 

superb timing and placing enabled him to 

defeat every attempt made by Ormond to 

check this shot. E. Ryan followed Westmore, 

and batted attractively until he was 

caught in slips just before tea. Dowling 

did not repeat his spectacular Trinity 

fireworks, but J. Ryan and Gooden batted 

well while they stayed. 

At stumps Ley, who had just reached his 

double century, was partnered by 

McLennan, and considerable discussion 

overnight centred on his chance of 

passing the Intercollegiate record score of 

260, held by Stuart King. Next morning 

McLennan went early, but Batros kept his 

end up well until he was caught in the 

outfield at 32, at which stage Ley had 

advanced his score to 250. Godby followed 

Batros, but he was bowled when Ley was 

still 7 runs short of the record. The total 

for the innings, 508, seemed to assure a 

Newman victory. 

With an hour remaining before lunch, 

Ormond's openers, Schaffer and S. Steele, 

faced Dowling and Billings. The wicket 

was still perfect, and runs came steadily. 

At lunch, they were still together with the 

score at 62. In the afternoon, however, 

Dowling had an inspired spell, during which 

he captured three wickets in quick 

succession. When Schaffer was dismissed 

R. Steele was the only recognised batsman 

left. Batting steadily, he made a courageous 

attempt to hold the side together, and at 

stumps had entered the 70's. Meanwhile, 

however, three more wickets had fallen, and 

Ormond's task seemed hopeless. On 

Wednesday morning, Young accompanied 

Steele to the wickets, and they put up a 

surprisingly strong resistance. As the 

leeway was reduced the struggle became 

interesting, but when the deficit was still 

about 150, Young was bowled, and Steele 

was shortly afterwards caught. The last 

two batsmen fought gamely, but the 

innings closed with Ormond still 102 runs 

behind. 

Newman opened their second innings 

shortly before lunch, and the interval 

arrived without loss. Immediately on 

resumption, however, Westmore was 

bowled, and Pierce, following, went lbw. 

At this crisis, Billings was joined by Ley, 

and these two batsmen stayed long enough 

to avert a collapse, and the advantage was 

pushed home by Dowling, E. Ryan, and 

McLennan, who carried the score to 205 

for 5 wickets by five o'clock, when play 

ceased, leaving Newman victors by 102 runs 

on the first innings, and cricket champions 

for 1937.

NE W M A N 27 

THERE were only three vacancies in 

the team from last year, and they were 

quickly monopolised by Freshmen 

Pierce and Westmore, and Graduate 

McNeill. The practice games gave an early 

indication of the excellent prospects of 

Intercollegiate success, which later was our 

happy lot. Our very sincere thanks are due 

to Mr. Stuart King, who was once again 

good enough to act as coach. Not a little 

part of Newman's good fortune has been 


In the absence of K. Meagher and K. 

Whitehead, with injuries, the team chosen 

was : Backs—Billings, Ley, Gargan ; halfbacks—Sweeney, 

McLennan, Shea ; centres 

—Godby, Mulvany, Hetherington ; halfforwards—Pierce, 

E. A. Ryan, E. D. Ryan; 

forwards — Westmore, Peters, McNeil; 

followers—Mortensen, Harris, Brosnan. 

The day was ideal for football, and 

Newman, attacking from the bounce in 

characteristic fashion, soon obtained the 

first goal through the agency of Peters. 

The attack continued all through the 

quarter, but a good deal of unnecessary 

short passing amongst the forwards led to 

many missed shots for goals; the scores 

at the first change read : Newman-5 goals 

4 behinds ; Queen's-1 behind. 

The Newman attack continued during the 

second term, with Godby, who was playing 

excellent football, the initiator of many 

forward moves. The forwards had now 

settled down, and were co-operating well, 

although the kicking for goal was still 

rather erratic. By half-time we had 

established a commanding lead, the scores 

being : Newman-10 goals 11 behinds; 

Queen's-1 goal 2 behinds. 

The bringing of Ellery Ryan on to the 

Newman v 

E. D. Ryan was out of the Newman team 

through injuries, and Coleman took his 

place. K. Whitehead, recovered from 

Illness, displaced Gargan, and Meagher, 

Football 

directly attributable to Mr. King's splendid 

coaching and enthusiasm. 

Our congratulations are extended to 

Austen Ley, Kevin Mortensen, George 

Mulvany, and Ellery Ryan, who represented 

Melbourne against Adelaide in the Intervarsity 

contest ; to John Billings and Kevin 

Pierce, who were named as emergencies; 

and to Jim Peters, who ended his football 

career as captain and champion footballer 

of yet another championship Newman team. 

v. Queen's. 

ball after the interval resulted in a couple 

of positional changes. Billings came to the 

centre half-forward position, and Harris to 

the back pocket. The move met with 

immediate success, for, making Peters the 

spearhead of the attack, Newman stormed 

forward continuously, scoring 11 goals 6 

behinds for the quarter, while Queen's only 

managed 1 goal 1 behind. The score at the 

third quarter change was : Newman-21 

goals 17 behinds ; Queen's-2 goals 3 

behinds. 

Queen's opened the last quarter with a 

smart goal, but thereafter Newman once 

again took control, and, through the 

co-operation of Westmore and Peters on 

the forward line, the score began to mount 

again ; and the final bell ended a very 

uneven contest, with the scores reading: 

Newman-29 goals 21 behinds (195 

points). 

Queen's-3 goals 4 behinds (22 points). 

Goal-kickers.—Newman: Peters (18), 

Westmore (6), Brosnan (4), McNeil (1), 

Queen's : McConchie (2), James.

recovered from injuries, took Shea's place. 

Shea had sustained an injured leg against 

Queen's College. The team was : Backs— 

Billings, Ley, Harris ; half-backs—Sweeney,

McLennan, E. A. Ryan; centres—Godby, 

Mulvany, Coleman; half-forwards—Pierce, 

Peters, Hetherington ; forwards—McNeil, 

Meagher, Westmore ; rucks—Mortensen, 

Whitehead ; rover—Brosnan ; 19th man- 

Gargan. 

From the bounce Ormond were first 

away, and for the opening minutes, play 

centred around the Newman goal, Newman's 

counter moves breaking down in the 

centre. However, E. Ryan was shining on 

a half-back flank, and at length Godby, from 

his lead, took the ball into Ormond's 

territory, when clever scouting by Westmore 

gave him a chance, and first goal was 

signalled for Newman. The team then 

moved into its stride, and repeated thrusts 

had the Ormond backs defending desperately. 

After a long shot by Hetherington 

fell short, Peters flew high to take a 

magnificent mark, and his kick brought up 

second goal. It was already evident that the 

opposing backs would concentrate on Peters, 

but Newman had expected this, and was 

prepared for such tactics. Winning in the 

ruck and across the centre, to dominate the 

play, Newman brought the ball down again, 

and goals came from Mortensen and 

Meagher. Quarter-time scores were : 

Newman-4 goals 5 behinds; Ormond— 

Nil. 

At this stage, McNeil, who had received 

a leg injury in a crush, was replaced by 

Gargan. 

To counteract Newman's ruck strength, 

Ormond moved in one of its wing men as 

an extra rover. The move brought ready 

success, and almost immediately first goal 

came for Ormond. Newman replied with 

a goal from Meagher, and then Ormond 

commenced a wonderful uphill fight for the 

lead. Successive attacks rattled the Newman 

defence, the opposing forwards opening 

out, and exploiting the loose man to 

perfection. Newman steadied for a 

moment, chiefly because of McLennan and 

Ley on the back-line, and Mortensen, in the 

ruck. Mulvany broke away and kicked a 

goal, but Ormond were not to be denied. 

Again they came, and two more goals were 

registered. But gradually the back-line 

recovered, and attempts of the Ormond 

forwards to crash through packs proved 

their undoing. Mortensen goaled just 

before the quarter ended, leaving the scores : 

Newman-7 goals 9 behinds ; Ormond-6 

goals 5 behinds. 

Ormond's next move was to bring in the 

pocket forward as extra rover ; Peters 

immediately moved Billings to the half-back 

line to help McLennan, who became the 

loose man. Excellent co-operation between 

these two players broke repeated Ormond 

attacks, and as the Newman forwards were 

beating their men, the side moved ahead 

with goals from Peters and Meagher. 

Meagher was revealing excellent form, and 

was causing much concern to the Ormond 

backs. However, the shooting for goal was 

a little upset by Ormond's bustling tactics, 

and several points followed, until Peters 

marked, and kicked his third goal, and 

Newman's tenth. Harris was conspicuous 

at this stage for continued dash and virile 

play in the ruck and forward. Godby and 

Coleman were winning on the wings, and 

Ormond's attacks down the centre were 

breaking down on their half-forward line, 

due, in no small measure, to Sweeney's 

solid and effective work. At the threequarter 

bell, the board read : Newman-10 

goals 16 behinds ; Ormond-6 goals 3 

behinds. 

At the start of the last quarter, the 

Ormond men attacked solidly, but the backline 

stood rocklike at this critical stage. 

Gargan repeatedly cleared the ball, and 

Whitehead proved a worthy alternative 

when Gargan took his place in the ruck. 

Pierce brought down a towering mark, and 

a moment later capped some excellent play 

with a goal. A clever lead gave Hetherington 

the ball, and Newman a chance to 

score, but the ball was forced out of bounds 

on the grandstand wing. Westmore took 

the kick, and sealed Ormond's fate with a 

drop-kicked goal from a very difficult angle. 

Ormond goaled again, but their efforts were 

spasmodic, and the issue beyond doubt. 

Peters and Meagher goaled again before 

the bell, which rang with Newman attacking, 

and Ormond outmatched in every

NEWMAN 29 

department. Ormond had made a mistake 

in concentrating their defence on one man, 

Peters, this allowing the other forwards to 

gain control. Final scores : 

Newman-14 goals 22 behinds (106 

points). 

Ormond-8 goals 3 behinds (51 points). 

(Translated from the epitaph which Gerard de Nerval 

wrote for himself a few days before his death. He 

was once arrested for leading his pet lobster by a 

string through the streets of Paris.) 

He lived a curious life, was sometimes gay, 

Tender, in love, heedless he'd often seem, 

And like Clitander he would sadly dream. 

He heard a knocking at his door one day: 

'Twas death. He bade her wait a while until 

He wrote this sonnet, the last verse he made, 

And then, unmoved, he went away and laid 

His body in the coffin, cold and still. 

A lazy fellow, so the story goes; 

He often let his ink run dry, God knows! 

And knowing nothing, longed to learn, they say; 

And when the moment came, one winter's night, 

When, tired of life, his'soul at last took flight, 

He said, "Why did I come?", and went away. 

Best Players.—Newman was rendered 

sterling service by every man on the field. 

Perhaps worthy of special mention were 

Mortensen, for rugged football ; Peters, who 

kicked four goals though closely watched; 

Harris, Godby, E. Ryan, Pierce, and 

Mulvany.

30 NEWMAN 

ONE undertakes a review of our rowing 

activities during 1937 with mingled 

feelings of regret and of confidence. 

The defeat of a crew, which had seemed 

very strong, naturally filled us with regret. 

But we have cause for joy in having as 

coaches Mr. C. McCarthy and Mr. R. Keon- 

Cohen, in the double victory of our Seconds, 

in the steadily-mounting enthusiasm for 

rowing within the College, and in the election 

of Mr. Frederico as a Vice-President 

of the University Boat Club. 

This year, owing to the new policy of 

choosing the University Eight at the 

beginning of the academic year, and not, as 

before, upon the conclusion of Collegiate 

rowing, there were available for preparation 

seven weeks, instead of the usual five. 

During this time, as training progressed in 

and out of the boat, Mr. McCarthy's 

efforts were rewarded by the building 

up of a strong team. The crew chosen 

was seated as follows : P. H. Cody, 

11 stone 6 lbs. (bow) ; F. A. Russo, 11 stone 

3 lbs. (2) ; H. C. Mulcahy, 11 stone 10 lbs. 

(3) ; J. McC. Seward, 11 stone 1 lb. (4) ; 

K. J. Whitehead, 11 stone 10 lbs. (5) ; E. 

A. Andre, 11 stone 10 lbs. (6) ; J. A. 

Hartung, 11 stone 11 lbs. (7) ; G. I. 

Loughran, 12 stone 7 lbs. (stroke) : W. H. 

Smith, 8 stone 9 lbs. (cox). 

On the day of the race enthusiasm ran 

high, and the crew was very confident. We 

had drawn the North station against 

Ormond, a very formidable opponent, and 

we rowed up to the post over rather choppy 

water. The start was even, and the two 

crews shot away together ; but, try as we 

might, it proved impossible in the sprint 

between the bridges, to gain the lead for 

which we had hoped. Then, turning under 

the second bridge, Newman flopped badly, 

and gave Ormond a chance to draw away. 

This proved to be the turning point of the 

race. The big bend saw Ormond, with a 

good lead, able to produce some very fine 

bursts as they swung along by the stonewall ; 

while after that Newman failed to reproduce 

Rowing 

the cleanness and vigour of which we knew 

they were capable, and were some three 

lengths behind at the judge's box. 

Later in the day, Trinity upheld their 

claim to contest the final by defeating 

Queen's. On the morrow, our victors 

defeated Trinity. To Ormond we offer our 

congratulations on their fourth successive 

victory. 

Foremost among the reasons why our 

crew failed to produce its best form on the 

day of the race was our lack of rowing 

experience. It is obviously essential, then, 

that Newman crews should row in outside 

regattas, and that Newman men should row 

in University crews, if we are to produce 

a crew, able enough and experienced enough 

to win the race. 

But now we pass on the splendid performance 

of the Seconds. We presented 

Mr. Keon-Cohen with some material—much 

of which was raw—some time after the 

start of term, and on the day of the race 

he presented us with a capable, vigorous, 

and very enthusiastic crew, which set out 

to conquer all corners ; and they did convincingly. 

Not content with overwhelming 

the three other Collegiate Seconds, they 

went out several days later, and defeated 

the Extracollegiate Seconds. The crew was 

seated as follows : G. F. Mulvany, 10 stone 

1 lb. (bow) ; E. J. McDonald, 11 stone 

3 lbs. (2) ; K. N. Mortensen, 11 stone 8 lbs. 

(3) ; L. F. Healy, 11 stone 2 lbs. (4) ; D. 

B. Pitt, 11 stone 11 lbs. (5) ; J. W. Mornane, 

13 stone 11 lbs. (6) ; E. A. Ryan, 11 

stone 10 lbs. (7) ; F. J. Hetherington, 10 

stone 9 lbs. (stroke) ; J. H. Smith, 8 stone 

11 lbs. (cox). To the men of the crew who 

showed such keenness, and to Mr. Keon- 

Cohen, who inspired it, we say : "Thank 

You !" 

Now, let us leave the past and turn to 

the future, which is our concern. I say 

with confidence, and surely no one will deny 

it, that the standard of rowing and the 

interest taken in rowing within the College 

has definitely risen within the last few

NEWMAN 31 

years, and that we have reason to believe 

that it will go on rising. This confidence 

seems justified by the performance witnessed 

in the Rector's Eights this year. 

Two eights, after only a very brief period 

of training, showed very good form over 

half a mile. It is a tribute to the Rector, 

who is ever ready to help our rowing cause, 

and who has done so again by presenting 

the trophies for his eights for the second 

time, that in third term we were able to 

put on the river two eights, capable of 

giving such a creditable performance. Mr. 

McCarthy deserves our warm thanks for 

taking such a keen and ever-increasing 

interest in our rowing. We can assure him 

that the reception which he received at the 

Sports Dinner is a true index of the support 

which we are determined to give him. 

Without this co-operation, no coach can do 

himself justice. 

Let us hope, then, that this rising 

enthusiasm will prove a happy omen in our 

efforts to win the one prize that has so 

far eluded us. In this connection the 

committee would like me to say that, in the 

opinion of many competent judges, a new 

racing eight is badly needed, and as all 

those who are familiar with rowing affairs 

will know, such a boat costs about £120. 

This matter is engaging the serious attention 

of the rowers in College; in fact a boatbuilding 

fund has been instituted by the 

Club. Perhaps some of our readers may 

themselves be interested in this matter. 

We wish to thank two old boys of the 

College for their encouragement—Mr. J. F. 

Mulvany, who annually gives a cup, the 

Mulvany Cup, awarded to the most 

improved oarsman; and Mr. H. Frederico, 

the donor of the Frederico Cup for the 

Championship Pairs. Mr. Frederico, we 

should also like to congratulate on his 

election to the University Boat Club 

Committee. Our interest in University 

rowing will be the best way of showing our 

gratitude to the new Vice-President. His 

interest in University rowing is two-fold : 

He is anxious on the one hand to help 

University rowing as a whole ; on the other 

hand he is convinced that, if Newman is to 

improve its rowing, Newman men must take 

part in University rowing. He asks and 

expects our co-operation. 

At the end of second term, Mr. W. H. 

Smith was re-elected Captain of Boats. Mr. 

K. J. Whitehead was awarded the Mulvany 

Cup for improvement in rowing. 

The Regatta. 

The College Regatta was held in the 

second week of "Swot Vac." Although 

showery weather and a huge dredge moored 

opposite the sheds in mid-stream, conspired 

against us, the day was a most enjoyable 

one. The successful crew in the main 

event of the day, the Rector's Eights, was 

seated as follows : T. Capell (bow), E. 

McDonald (2), K. Mortensen (3), L. 

Healy (4), P. Cody (5), J. Mornane (6), 

E. Andre (7), F. Hetherington (stroke), 

J. H. Smith (cox). G. Loughran and F. 

Russo, with J. Smith as cox, won the 

Frederico Cup for the Championship Pairs. 

Trophies for the Championship. Fours were 

won by : J. Ryan (bow), R. Lansell (2), 

E. A. Ryan (3), M. Connaughton (cox), . 

J. Wren (stroke). The Table Fours went 

to : G. Mulvany (bow), K. Mortensen (2), . 

E. A. Ryan (3), J. Mornane (stroke), J. 

H. Smith (cox). M. Connaughton won the 

Coxswain's Cup.

32 NEWMAN 

THE revived interest in tennis, which 

began with the completion of a 

grass court in 1936, was continued 

during 1937. A team was entered in 

the L.T.A.V. Pennant, and so keen 

was the competition for a place in 

the team that many combinations were 

tried out. This undoubtedly militated 

against success, but gave the committee an 

opportunity to discover talent which otherwise 

would have remained latent. Par- 


The members of the team were : Godby, 

Gooden, Grano, and Sweeney, and their 

opponents were Dennis, Gellie, McLean, and 

Sleeman. 

In contrast to previous years, the day for 

the match was bright and clear, with little 

wind—ideal tennis weather. Gooden was 

matched against Dennis, and after a 

disastrous first set, rallied in the second to 

lead 5-2, by slowing the game up, and 

causing Dennis to overhit. Almost as the 

set was over, Dennis regained his accuracy, 

and took the set and the match. Sweeney 

played Gellie, but the latter's flat drive 

worried him, and he failed to take a set. 

The best match of the day was Godby 

against Sleeman. The latter won in straight 

sets, but the tennis was stylish, and there 

were many good rallies. The fourth singles 

match was between Grano and McLean, and 

produced some hard hitting, but it, too, 

went in Ormond's favour. 

The Old Boys' Cup. 

There were 17 entries for this handicap 

event, which shows that it still retains its 

popularity among students. The winner, 

K. Mortensen, thoroughly deserved his 

success, for, in his several matches, he 

accounted for every member of the Intercollegiate 

team. 

Mixed Doubles. 

The Mixed Doubles was again held in 

Tennis 

ticularly was an attempt made to improve 

the standard of doubles play, for it was 

realised that, in the Intercollegiate series, 

each member of the team plays two doubles 

matches and only one singles. Mr. J. 

Galbally and Mr. A. Kay were kind enough 

to play several matches against our 

combinations, and gave us the benefit of 

their knowledge. We deeply appreciate 

their generosity, and hope that they will be 

able to find time to help us again next year. 

v. Ormond. 

In the doubles we fared a little better. 

Grano and Godby were beaten in straight 

sets by Dennis and Sleeman, but took a 

set from McLean and Gellie. Gooden and 

Sweeney were down in straight sets to 

McLean and Gellie, but managed to take 

a set from Dennis and Sleeman. So 

Ormond won the match without losing a 

rubber. Scores :

NEWMAN 

FINE weather graced the 1937 Newman 

Golf Tournament at Commonwealth, 

and helped to make the day the best 

ever. No College function has proved more 

popular than this annual pilgrimage of Newman 

golfers—students past and present. 

Interest among the Old Boys has been 

growing from year to year, and on this 

occasion a large contingent was present to 

show the practical interest the graduate 

body still takes in College current affairs. 

Among those present were : P. F. 

O'Collins, Esq. ; Dr. T. Greening, Mr. J. X. 

O'Driscoll, Mr. Myles Ryan, Dr. C. Cohen, 

Mr. E. O'Driscoll, Mr. S. P. King, Dr. J. 

Clareborough, Dr. M. Healy, Dr. J. J. 

Hayden, Mr. K. Stevenson, Mr. A. Redmond, 

Mr. D. Picone, Dr. F. Morgan. 

Dr. J. B. O'Collins was abroad this year, 

and consequently unable to be present, but 

our thanks are due to him once more for 

the very fine trophy he presented last year 

to be held each year by the winner of the 

series, and open to both present and past 

students. We have to thank him also for 

a further contribution for trophies, which 

he made this year. 

Several other trophies served to provide 

a wide field, and a tempting array for the 

would-be "pot hunter." However, this 

day, in spite of the short span of time 

which has elapsed since its inauguration, has 

come to be looked upon, not as an opportunity 

to adorn the sideboard, but as an 

opportunity for men of Newman to get 

together for a thoroughly enjoyable day's 

golf. The use of handicaps makes for 

equal chances all round, and the Handicap 

Committee is to be highly commended for 

its efforts this year. 

Annual Golf Tournament 

Held at Commonwealth Golf Club, July 27. 

Everything was ably and wholeheartedly 

done by the Club Secretaries, Messrs. 

Peters and Gurry, to ensure a pleasant day. 

High spirits reigned from the moment the 

cars left the College until they pursued their 

belated way homewards that evening. The 

staff at Commonwealth, too, deserve every 

praise for their efficiency and co-operation. 

The O'Collins Cup was won this year 

by A. Grano, with a solid 92 off a handicap 

of 24 strokes, and consequently a net 68. 

He made good work of the journey out 

with a faultless 42, but struck trouble 

coming in. 

The Old Boys' Cup, against bogey, was 

won by Dr. C. Cohen, and Kevin Whitehead, 

off a handicap of 27, won the Present 

Students' Cup with 13 up. These events 

ended the morning's golf, and after lunch 

at the Club House, the first competitors in 

the Four Ball-Best Ball Event drove off. 

This event was open to both past and 

present men, and an "A" and "B" division 

served to make it more satisfactory. 

Mr. S. P. King and M. Connaughton were 

successful in the "A" division, and Mr. D. 

Picone, and K. Meagher found themselves 

with the best cards in "B" division. 

The individual effort of Maurice Barrett 

in the Open Cup was especially noteworthy. 

He returned a card of 82 from scratch, after 

having played excellent golf all day. 

We were particularly fortunate in having 

the Rector with us this year during the 

afternoon. It is to be hoped that the success 

of this and the preceding two tournaments 

will inspire both present and past students 

to support the event with the greatest 

possible enthusiasm in the years to come.

Foreword. 

"Taboo" has been in the past, and forever 

will be, a bone of contention, in so far as 

it fails to report accurately, or in toto, the 

quips, bright sayings, puns, or faux pas of 

those whose names appear in its pages. No 

doubt a certain satisfaction will fill the 

hearts of some, when they appear in print, 

others will be disappointed because they 

have not appeared, and a scattered few will 

not be at all delighted. We have not tried 

to discriminate, but in so far as Taboo fails 

to meet with your approval, we offer you 

this apologia. We hope, however, that you 

will find much in these pages to interest 

you. The witticisms and pearls of wisdom 

which drop from the mouths of our alumni 

form the very life blood of this compilation. 

May they ever flourish to gladden the 

hearts of readers for years to come, for to 

strangle them would be to "kill the goose 

that laid the golden egg."

I FELL ON FANNY. 

We've often heard of Fanny, 

The maid of rural fame; 

We all know George .. . . 

We can't disclose his name. 

This story has no hero, 

No one to take the blame; 

But Sneaker should be Nero 

For fiddling is his game. 

Should a person make an error 

In theory or in fact, 

You live in holy terror 

Lest his brain should soon react; 

For he'll often start to cackle 

In a way that's quite uncanny, 

When he's told of flying tackle 

And the fall on poor old Fanny. 

This story has a sequel, 

A most surprising tale. 

There's not a thing to equal 

Such an everlasting wail; 

For when Raymond started dreaming 

In the middle of the night, 

A ladder touched the ceiling 

And woke him with a fright. 

Then looking from the casement 

He saw an awful sight, 

But no one fell on Fanny, 

Though Fanny fell all right.

CONSERVATIVES (Louis Veuillot). 

I've never liked these fellows, so well fed, 

These learned men and strong whom you all know, 

Who talk and talk no matter where they go, 

Their brains behind, their bellies well ahead. 

I find them everywhere, and know their worth: 

They know they're fat, they know that they are wise, 

They know they're witty. They are proud of size 

And think they are the only men on earth. 

Complacent as they see their wealth accrue, 

They're cold as ice towards what is just and true, 

And only cash can warm their souls. And so 

Sometimes my heart with very rapture glows 

To think a day may come, quite warm I suppose, 

To melt their hearts and melt their fat also.

Old Newmanians and their Activities 

ANOTHER year in the history of the 

Old Boys' Association is drawing to a 

close, with only the Requiem Mass 

and Annual General Meeting and Dinner 

remaining on the syllabus. The activities of 

the Association have been increasing each 

year, and the year just concluding has maintained 

this progress. Apart from the Annual 

Dinner, several informal dinners were again 

held. From the attendances at these functions, 

and the enjoyment derived by all 

present from these bright and informal 

affairs, it is obvious that these form—and 

will continue to form—an important feature 

of the Association's social activities. 

At the Annual Meeting of last year, held 

as usual at the Hotel Australia on Steeplechase 

night, a slight departure from the 

order of previous years was made, in that 

the meeting was held immediately before 

the dinner. This step was taken only after 

lengthy deliberation by the Committee, but 

its reception by the members proved that 

it was a popular innovation. 

The following office-bearers were elected 

for the year 1936-37: 

President, J. F. Mulvany. Vice- 

Presidents : Dr. G. F. Brew, Dr. W. Scarf f, 

S. P. King. Committee : J. Galbally, R. 

Triado, H. Frederico, J. Wren, M. 

McInerney, H. Jones, Dr. J. Hayden. 

Secretary and Treasurer : J. 0. Parker. 

The meeting was delighted to receive a 

telegram from Dr. J. Palandri, announcing 

that an inaugural meeting and dinner of the 

West Australian branch of the Association 

was being held at the same time in Perth. 

Another telegram was received from the 

Queensland branch, which was holding a 

similar function that evening. These 

important developments in the activities of 

the Association were received with great 

enthusiasm by the members. 

The Scholarship Trust Fund Appeal has 

Met with a magnificent response from many 

Old Boys, and the Association is very 

pleased to report that the sum of ,21,000 

—at which figure granting of scholarships 

is to be commenced—is far from being the 

impossible amount that some sceptics 

thought it to be. We take this opportunity 

of thanking all those who have responded 

so generously, and extend an invitation to 

all Old Boys to participate. The question 

of the amount is not of paramount 

importance, but it is our hope that every 

Old Boy's name will appear in the final 

subscription list. 

The Annual Golf Tournament was again 

well attended by members, and the success 

of this sporting function is definitely 

assured. The J. B. O'Collins Cup was won 

by T. Grano. 

The various Intercollegiate sporting 

activities, the College Ball, and Association 

Dances, and the Sports Dinner all brought 

their muster of Old Boys. 

Old Boys played the part of coach in the 

preparation of four of the College teams 

last year. S. P. King, as usual, coached 

the football team ; R. Triado, the athletics 

team ; C. McCarthy, the crew ; and J. 

Galbally gave assistance to the tennis team. 

We take this opportunity of again 

extending thanks to the Rector for his 

interest and enthusiasm in all matters 

pertaining to the Association ; and we also 

extend our congratulations to the College 

on its very fine performances in the 

academic field last year, and on their 

continued success on the sporting field.
