    Melbourne University Football: Some famous Personalities JOHN ARNOLD SEITZ (1883-1963) Throughout his life, Arnold Seitz had a keen interest in, and involvement with, University Football Club: first as a player and captain, then club secretary and finally as a loyal donor in later life.1 Born at Carlton, Victoria, on September 19, 1883, Seitz was educated at Blackburn and Auburn State Schools, before completing his secondary education as Dux at both Hawthorn College and then Scotch College. 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.

Are these not performances that eclipse those of the mighty Barassi-coached Carlton teams of 1968 and 1970, and that of the Nicholls-led heroes of 1972? Yet the sides of the Jesaulenko-Parkin era are rarely compared with Barassi’s teams, or those of Hawthorn and even Essendon of that period. Dan Eddy has sought to make these great sides live again for the Carlton fans, recapturing the excitement of the Mosquito Fleet, ‘Swan’ McKay’s high marking, Geoff Southby’s long spiral punts from the goal square, Wayne Harmes’ freakish skill and strength, the magic half-forward line of Wayne Johnston, Mark Maclure and Peter Bosustow, the courage of Ken Hunter, the football genius of the enigmatic Bruce Doull and in 1979, the aging authority of Jezza and Perc Jones.
