Eight of the thirteen who played during the season played in all seven matches. In batting, Tony Hodgson, a fifth form player. scored a total of 336 in his eight sessions at the crease. This included 60 not out against Carey, 100 not out against Geelong Grammar and 82 against St. Kevin's. These excellent figures resulted in the top batting average of 56. Other excellent batting performances were the chanceless century (101 to be exact) by David Gordon against Caulfield, 58 not out by opening bowler Mark Russel l, another fifth former, and 49 by Barry Mann. The overall average of the eight who played in all matches was 28.66 and two of these were essentially bowlers.

From the time he entered the school in 1912 he involved himself closely in the affairs of the College as a student, Old Col· legian and member of the College Council. His service to the College and his great generosity over many years were prompted by a deep affection for his school. Collegians of the past. present and future have reason to be grateful for all he did and those many who knew him as a friend look back fondly at memories of how much pleasure he personally took in his work for the College.
