  • Undies and Arthur Marshall
    The All-Rounder: a memoir of Fremantle sportsman Arthur Marshall by Roger Underwood The champion sportsman who excels in several sporting disciplines is a well-known phenomenon. Don Bradman, for example, was also the South Australian squash champion and a scratch golfer; Test fast bowler Ray Lindwall also played first grade rugby league in NSW and was a top sprinter. Western Australians who were multi-disciplinary champions include Keith Slater, who played Test cricket and football, cricket and baseball for WA, Derek Chadwick who played football and cricket with distinction for WA, and Rick Charlesworth, an Olympic hockey player and also a State cricketer. Fremantle all-rounders of note include John Baguley, who was an Olympic long and triple-jumper, played rugby for WA and league football for East Fremantle, and Merv Cowan who was captain of the Fremantle A Grade cricket team and the East Fremantle League football team, a State water polo player and State breaststroke swimming champion. The phenomenon is easily understood. Champion sportsmen share key physical and mental attributes: they are naturally athletic, they have exceptional hand-eye coordination and lightning reflexes, are highly competitive, and they have that special inner strength known as “the will to win”. This is best demonstrated in the champion who ‘wins ugly’ – sporting lingo for the ability to dig deep and find a way to win even when injured or having an off-day. The champion who performs at the elite level in several disciplines is rarer today than in earlier eras. Modern sporting champions tend to specialise. They choose to become a full-time AFL footballer, a Test cricketer, or a swimmer or golfer, and they do this while still a teenager.

  • Lutaf and Sul Virani Uganda Collection Oral History Project: Memories of Uganda
    Lutaf and Sul Virani Uganda Collection Oral History Project: Memories of Uganda Lutaf Virani: “You asked the question, memories you may have about Uganda. You want the good memories or the bad memories?” Heather LeRoux: “Anything you want to share, anything you are comfortable sharing. Yeah, anything you want.” Lutaf: “Good memories I had was that Uganda was so beautiful, the weather was fantastic. I used to play a lot of cricket and tennis and every time it rained or something, after a few hours, one and a half hours, bright sunshine, everything is dry and nice. That’s one memory I had. The other memory I had was when I was in school and I was a young teenager, we had a canteen at the school but the canteen didn’t provide any good food for us so we used to sneak out. There used to be a shop, a small restaurant, and they used to have cassava. Cassava is a staple food in Uganda, cassava and green banana. This guy used to make this cassava, fried cassava. So we used to sneak out and go and eat that. I remember the first time we saw a bottle of Coke, it was a big bottle, they called it Hostess. We used to chip in our five cents each and buy that and buy a bunch of cassava fries and go and eat that and enjoy it. The other memory I had was—I don’t remember the exact year, but it was 1958 or 1959. I was a good tennis player at school so I was picked by the school to go and get a bit of coaching.

  • Introduction All Available Tennis History
    Introduction All available tennis history books tackle tennis history unevenly in two main respects. They usually give very little information on the pre-1919 years and do not give enough weight to professional tennis before 1968. I decided to overcome these limitations in my book by devoting one page for each year starting from 1877. Each page contains a short summary of the major events in that particular year, with scores of classic matches given in detail; and year-end rankings in tabulated form that show the performance of the top players at the major events. As the greatest novelty of this work I have provided year-end rankings for the whole course of tennis history. These include each year the Top 8 players (with their nationality and age indicated) and (separated by a dividing line) additional winners of the listed major events. Although from 1973 and 1975 there are official computer rankings by the ATP and WTA, respectively, their main purpose is to have an order of admittance to tournaments and facilitate seeding. Opinions differ as to the credibility of such computer lists for other purposes. The calculation methods often changed during their history, and they did not take into account important tournaments (like the year-ending championships till 1990) and team competitions (like Davis Cup till 2009). Prior to the use of the computer, rankings were a matter of judgement made by tennis journalists. I feel that even after the introduction of computer lists, the opinion of leading journalists represent a better guide to the future historian of how the players stood in relation to each other.
