  • OBITUARIES Mr. F.E.Mcelhone Died on 21St July, 1981, Aged 94. Thus
    OBITUARIES Mr. F.E.McElhone died on 21st July, 1981, aged 94. Thus passed the oldest former University player at the time of his death and the last survivor of a University 1st Grade Premiership side. Eric McElhone first played for University in 1905-06 and, during a career which spanned 8 seasons and earned him 2053 runs in 1st Grade, he was a member of the Premiership sides of 1909-10 and 1911-12. His all too brief first class career brought 369 runs for NSW at an average of 41. Eric McElhone was an upright, free-flowing batsman who scored elegantly on the off side with a fine flourish. As a cover point, he had few peers at a time when the University side was a brilliant fielding unit. A handsome pedigree assisted his cricket development immeasurably. His father, Frank, had been one of the founding members of the Waverley Club. One uncle, W.P.McElhone, was chairman of the Australian Cricket Board, and another. Dr. H.V.Hordern, captured 12 wickets with his leg breaks on his Test debut against England in 1911. After years of much success with University, where his trojan deeds in the annual Melbourne Intervarsity matches were legend, McElhone hit up an eye-catching 148 against Middle Harbour at the S.C.G. in 1910 and was chosen in the powerful N.S.W. side. He thus achieved double State honours, having also played baseball for N.S.W. In his second 1st Class match, his 101 against Victoria was made with the grace and ease of a veteran.
