    Chapter 3: 1997-2014 After 1996, the crew team had a short period of difficulty. Coach Phil Holmes took over from Phil Busse although the transition does not appear to have been smooth. One short article from the Oregon Daily Emerald, in the fall, quoted Holmes as saying, “The rowers are very pleased with themselves, and I am, too,” but then, in a section blacked out by whoever saved the article, he added, “they started from scratch after being abandoned last Willamette Regatta, 1997 year.” 1 In another fall article, Holmes expressed a feeling that 1996-1997 would be “a rebuilding year.” 2 Phil Holmes was an experienced rowing coach with short stints at UC Berkeley in the mid-1970s, Cal Maritime Academy in the late-1970s, and Lakeside High in Seattle up to 1985. His position with Oregon, which ran from 1997 to 1999, was his first work as a coach since 1985.3 The crew would go through the traditional series of races in the fall and spring of that year including the LO/OP and Head of the Lake in the fall4 along with two races in Seattle, The Covered Bridge Regatta at Dexter Lake, and the Pac-10 Championships in Sacramento during the spring.5 6 7 Two crews, the men’s varsity 4+ and women’s varsity 8+, were invited to the prestigious Opening Day Regatta that year at the University of Washington. The men’s boat finished 4/7 behind two Husky boats and a Western Washington crew that had placed ahead of them in three straight races.8 The women’s boat was unfortunately disqualified from their race after hitting a buoy and breaking a rigger, the part which holds up the oar, on the boat.

    Leander New s Leander Club Newslette r Winter 2010 Totally Oarsome… Leander has had another very strong year in 2010. We have produced winning crews at every level and with the World Championships less than a week away, there is promise of yet more success for Leander athletes and coaches in New Zealand. These Championships are two months later than usual to fit in with the New Zealand summer, and as a result it seems strange to be reflecting on the season thus far when it is not yet finished. One of the positives of this situation is that it reduces the amount of winter training that many of us will have to do for the 2011 season! The most recent addition to the team is Beijing silver medallist Debbie Flood, who following a training camp in Germany has been confirmed as competing in the women’s quad - the boat in which she has twice won silver at successive Olympic Games.

    The Footscray Football Club and Its Local Community in Colonial Melbourne

    Foundation Narratives in Rowing, Cricket and Australian Rules Football: Sport in Footscray 1859-1886 Darren Arthur A thesis submitted for a Masters by Research degree at Victoria University Institute for Health and Sport Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria April 2019 Darren Edwin Arthur – MA Thesis ii Abstract How does a sporting club come to life? What and who are the drivers behind it and what are the forces that shape its development? This thesis examines the town of Footscray through the lens of three local sporting clubs during the period 1859–1886. The study attempts to answer the above questions and considers the reasons each entity came into prominence and what hindered their progress or allowed them to grow. The major focus of this thesis is the Footscray Football Club whose precise origins have not been formally identified, despite conjecture that the club was founded in 1883. Two other local sporting clubs are closely scrutinised, namely the first incarnations of the Footscray rowing and cricket clubs, whose histories have not been properly documented. The intertwined histories of these organisations will not only assist in providing wider contexts for understanding the birth of the local football club, but will, more broadly, illuminate the important role that sport plays in the building of local communities. Darren Edwin Arthur – MA Thesis iii Declaration I, Darren Edwin Arthur, declare that the Masters by Research thesis entitled, “Foundation Narratives in Australian Rules Football: The Footscray Football Club and its Local Community 1859-1886” is no more than the required word length including quotes and exclusive of appendices, bibliography, references and footnotes.
