Initially he studied engineering at Melbourne University, before being elected Rhodes Scholar in 1906. While a student at Melbourne University he successfully captained the University Football Club in the team’s inaugural season in the Colleges Football Association in 1904 and then led the club in its first year in the Metropolitan Football Association in 1905. He also held the position of club secretary in 1904-05 and 1910-11. At Oxford he completed a BA and MA and was awarded a Blue for cricket in 1909. Seitz was a skilful right-hand batsman with “plenty of strokes” and “a brilliant fieldsman”.2 He represented University in intervarsity, played District cricket with East Melbourne (1901-02 to 1905-06, 1910-11 to 1914-15) and Carlton (1921-22 to 1926-27) and represented Victoria from 1910-11 to 1912-13, captaining the state in his last season.3 A prominent educationalist, he taught at Scotch College (1910- 14), was headmaster of Hamilton College (1915-21), Inspector of Secondary Schools (1929-36) and Victorian Director of Education (1936-48). He was Victorian Cricket Association president from 1947-63 and Carlton Cricket Club president until his death at Melbourne on May 1, 1963.

Billy Windley left off lacing a football. "Joker" Hall allowed the compress on Eric Huxtables ankle to go cold, and Jim O'Meara walked across the room with a pencil sticking out of the side of his mouth, while one of the present-day Southern stalwarts stood half naked Waiting for the guernsey that Jim carried away in his hand. I had struck a magic chord collectively and individually all three said play with Peter — he was the greatest player the game has produced and a gentleman in all things." Well it was certainly nice to have them unanimous about It. and so definite too. I wanted Information and I got it in one hot blast of enthusiasm. Peter Burns — what a man; what a footballer, they all agreed. Today in the South Melbourne room working side by side at the moulding of a younger side.
