Historical information

The 'thirds' football teams (players not good enough for the first and second teams) at Prince Alfred College were split into 'day boys' and 'boarders' with considerable rivalry between them. The first XVIII and second XVIII football teams in 1954 were undefeated and again almost undefeated in 1955. (Roman numerals were always used for football, cricket and rowing teams.) Note Bob Francis, 5AD and 5AA radio announcer, centre row, third from left. Ian Pontifex is the nephew of Max Pontifex, winner of the 1932 Magarey Medal and was promoted to the 2nd XVIII during 1955. (Notes by A.D. Paterson).
