One of the figures appearing in this group at the bedside of the (unfortunately anonymous) young gentleman is Jack Hale who took over as coach of South Melbourne (from ‘Bull’ Adams) in the course of the 1948 season. Hale, seen on the left of the photo, had been a star rover for Carlton in the thirties. He coached South until the end of the 1949 season. Later, he took on the coaching job at Hawthorn, transforming them from easy-beats to the toughest combination in the VFL.
At the front of the photo are Keith Schaefer (102 games, 1947-53) and Reg Harley (61 games, 1948-52). At the rear are Ron Bywater (58 games, 1942, 1944, 1946-50) and Ron Clegg (231 games, 1945-54, 1956-60). At right are Pat Bourke b1923 (38 games, 1944, 1946-49), George Caris (19 games, 1948-50), Arthur Fox (39 games, 1948-50), and Larry Spokes (61 games, 1946-50). Note the players seem to be carrying books and comics.
Note kids south Melbourne stripe chalked on to his jumper.
Reg Harley is holding the book Quetzal Quest, written by the American Author Quail Hawkins (published in USA, 1939).

Comment
A group of South Melbourne (VFL) footballers visiting a young lad in hospital. The date ‘1947’ does seem to appear on the blazer but this may be wrong. The photo was not taken in 1947. 1948 or 1949 is much more feasible.One of the figures appearing in this group at the bedside of the (unfortunately anonymous) young gentleman is Jack Hale who took over as coach of South Melbourne (from ‘Bull’ Adams) in the course of the 1948 season. Hale, seen on the left of the photo, had been a star rover for Carlton in the thirties. He coached South until the end of the 1949 season. Later, he took on the coaching job at Hawthorn, transforming them from easy-beats to the toughest combination in the VFL.
