HOW MAN Y DOES IT' TAKE TO MAKE A FOOTBALL TEAM ? By GEORGE McTAGGART As far as we are concerned, the 1974 football season opens today . One hundred and thirty-eight teams will be competing, with two clubs, Glenroy and Bulleen-Templestowe, making their debut in the Victorian Amateur Football Association . Let's open .. the season with a question - HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A FOOTBALL TEAM ? You're going to say 20, aren't you? saler and then the retailer, until your But if you look into the position a player at last has his sweater . little more closely, you'll find you're Much the same pattern follows the wrong. production of his knicks, his boots Certainly there are 20 players in (except that it's the "cow-cocky" ina team - but isn't that just the end stead of the sheep-farmer), then the product? tanner, the leather merchant, the Firstly the player must have a bootmaker and so on . sweater - that involves the grazier It's traditional to have an umpire who raises the sheep to produce the for our game, and he needs a whistle, wool from which the sweater is made . so the metal trade in various phases But it doesn't seem to be fashionis brought into the picture . able for players to take the field The timber merchant (and before wearing sheepskins, so we need the him the "tree grower") gets a game services of the shearer to separate for supplying the goal and behind the wool from the sheep . posts .

Even the Postmaster-General's Department is required so that you can phone your scores to the "Herald", so that everyone can read the scores of your match as well as the scores of their own, which they saw probably on -painted metal discs hung on to -a wooden scoreboard . Have you worked out now how many it, takes to make a football team? By the way, -there's no prize for the correct answer, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IT.

UMPIRE'S CORNE R At the annual meeting of the Umpires' Association the following officebearers were elected : President - Daryl George . Vice-president - Peter Feil . Secretary - Kenneth Jorgensen . Assist . Secretary - Philip Rowell. Treasurer - John Field . Social Secretary - David Dressing. To Daryl and his committee we wish you all a successful year . After two pleas by the writer at the end of season 1973 asking clubs to assist us with recruit umpires, only four clubs came to our assistance, each supplying one new umpire . Caulfield Grammarians, National Bank, Commonwealth Bank and Alphington are the teams to whom we offer our thanks . The first three clubs named have given us many umpires over the years . With nearly 140 teams in our competition I felt we may have had a better response . To the clubs which did try and failed, thank you for your efforts . I know it is not easy to "talk" young chaps into the field of umpiring. The money paid is good, but the personal language handed out is sometimes hard to take .
Every umpire does his best - can we ask more ? PERSONAL On January 6th PHILIP ROWELL and SUSAN McLEAN were wed at Littlejohn Memorial Chapel, Scotch College, followed by a reception at the M.C.C . dining room . As both the fathers of the bride and groom were champion players with Melbourne and St . Kilda V .F.L . clubs respectively, we perhaps can expect at least another carnival umpire from this union. Two umpires were seen racing around Princes Park last week . The following day the police placed an amphometer across their track . Perhaps it was only a coincidence. They play the game tough in the bush - one amateur club played a country team in a practice match everyone, including players and umpire, had to pay $1 to get into the ground . The "ump" (quite experienced) no doubt added the cost to his fee . Like all members of the V .A .F.A ., umpires were quite upset to learn of the illness of Mr. Jack Fullarton, who collapsed soon after the finish of last season . It is pleasing indeed to know that he is again back to health and ALL umpires join with me in wishing him many years of health .
All Sherrin footballs are created equal . Officially approved for use in all V.F .L . matches . THE AMATEUR FOOTBALLER - April 20, 1974

Blues), Ted Farrell (Ormond), Peter Kavis (MHSOB), John Booth (Old Paradians), John Wilson (Caulfield Gramm .), Peter Falconer (Collegians) and Vin Williams (North Old Boys) . Wes Roach (Collegians), played his 150th game for the club while Peter SierakcWski, wingman of Ormond and Peter Eames, ruck (Parkside) reached the century . That popular ladies' man, Claude Ullin, was very active as president of Caulfield Gramm. Social Committee . With veteran umpire Harry Marks in control Ormond celebrated their return to 'A' section with a 14-goal win against Melbourne High . 10 years ag o Coburg (premiers ; B section 1963) gave a warning to 'A' section teams by storming home to def.at Old Xaverians (fourth in 'A' section - 1963) by 3 points . Stars for the victors were Hillyear, Scanlan (4 goals) and T . Salter while Slattery , Lawler, Wardlaw were best for the losers.
UHSOB, also promoted to 'A' section, ran 1963 runners-up, Ormond to 11 points while Caulfield Grammarians, in 'B' section, after many years absence, were 7 goals up on Geelong at the final bell . Mrs . John Booth unfurled Old Paradians 1963 'A' section premiership flag . Closest game for the day was a draw in 'C' section between Monash and St . Kilda C.B .C. 52 points each . Best were P. J. S. Robinson, Rasmussen, Ray (Monash) and White, Sherman, Caleja (St . Kilda) . 25 years ag o A, B . and C Sections - 10 teams each, D Section - 9 teams, and Junior Section - 9 - in all 48 teams for the opening game [of the 48, 31 are still with us - Ed .] . 3AW were advertising 'Expert' commentaries on all League games in 'London Stores Show' (1949 version of 'World of Sport' - leading the choir were Alan Killigrew, Harry (where's my coat) Vallence, Ron Baggott, Gordon Abbott, Harry Collier, and 'Chicken' Smallhorn.

ASSOCIATION HONORS EDITO R By J . E . FIDG E
George McTaggart, editor of this publication since 1947, has received one of the Victorian Amateur Football Association's highest honours - Life Membership. This award, together with that of patron, is the Association's most distinguished form of recognition . Life membership was bestowed on George at the packed Annual, Meeting of the Association . Following this he was presented with his Life Membership Medallion by President, Lou Zachariah during the recent April Delegates Meeting . Association patron Jack McCann in moving George's Life Membership, spoke in glowing tributes of his wonderful service to the V .A .F .A . over a period of 36 years . From somewhat humble beginnings as Assistant Secretary of Melbourne High School Old Boys in 1938, he quickly became Secretary by 1939 and served in this capacity until 1946 . During this period he still found time to be Secretary-Treasurer (19391953) of the Victorian Junior Amateur Football Association which in 1953 joined forces with the V.A.F .A . and is now better known as our Junior Section . During the years 1947-1955, George continued actively with M .H .S .O .B . as a Vice-Preside'nt becoming a club Life Member.
These aspects of the V .A .F .A. background on one George McTaggart are comparatively unknown . Now to the "well-known" . After being appointed Editor of the "Amateur Footballer" in 1947 he duplicated his responsibilities by also acting as publisher until 1956 . That year the A.N .F .C . saw fit to award him its Merit Certificate . In addition to his "local" commitment with the "Amateur Footballer", he has arranged the special "Carnival" issues of 1951, 1962 and 1973, the years the A .A .F .C. Carnival was held in Melbourne . The efforts of George McTaggart are synonymous with our publicity cause ; whether it be the "Amateur Footballer", his varied radio- segments or the newspapers, "Sporting Globe", "Age" and "The Herald", he has seen to our needs and done the job well . His' is a popular Life Membership, thoroughly earned and most certainly deserved.
Congratulations to Ross McKenzie who plays his 50th game for Monash Whites today . Ross started with the Whites in 1971 and was a key player in the 1972 Reserves Premiership and last season played a major role in getting the club into the finals . Well done Ross and we all hope you can go on to attain 100 games .

BALL BRIEFS CENTURY TO OLD XAVERIAN Congratulations to CHRIS "TIPPER" CALLINAN on reaching the 100-game mark with Old Xaverians . Chris is noted for his dashing style as a defender and for his single goal in 1971 . This season has started well for Chris as he has been appointed club captain, a decision which has been applauded by all club members - maybe this will be "Tipper's" year to win the best and fairest after setting an all-time record as runner-up . Well done Chris, your play and work around the club is an example to us all . CENTURY TO OLD BRIGHTON GREAT Congratulations and thanks from al l at Old Brighton go to Richard Thomas on the completion of his first 100 games with the club . Since 1965 "Tommy" has been a constant in-
spiration and example to his teammates with his dedication, skill and extraordinary ability to win kicks . These attributes have rightly earned him the best and fairest awards for both the O.B .G .F.C . and `D Grade', as well as the honour of captaining the club . Everyone at Old Brighton wishes him well for season 1974, and expect him to turn in another beautiful game to open the season . Old Brighton also wish to congratulate John Trotter on reaching his 50 games with the club . Johnny has added much-needed life and pace around the packs for both the Junior and Reserve sides in past seasons, and is challenging for a place in the senior side this year with his fine practice match form . Congratulations Johnny, and all the best for 1974 . All at F .I.T.F .C . would like to congratulate a fine player in the person of Wayne Absalom on playing his 50th game today. Always on the job at training, he is an inspiration to his fellow players. Well done `Abo .' Keep up the good work .
