A vintage photograph of the team, captioned 'S.P.S.C. v. P.A.C. Annual Football Match, 1903. Won by P.A.C. by 5 goals 10 behinds to S.P.S.C. 3 goals 8 behinds'
Adelaide, The Gresham Studio, 5, King William St. 1903.
A gelatin silver photograph (238 × 295 mm), on the original captioned mount, behind glass in the original wooden frame with an internal gilt fillet (external dimensions 427 × 515 mm).
The photograph has a couple of trifling blemishes in the periphery; the gilt fillet is a little tarnished, and the frame is slightly scuffed and marked; overall, a charming period piece in excellent condition.
Those featured in the photograph are (left to right, top to bottom) J.F. Bagot, J.A. Yuill, C.N. Mackenzie, S.D. Ronald, M.H. Moyes, and V.C. Cresdee; T.A. Caterer, Esq. (a master), F. Chambers, W.H. Job, W.G. Duncan, M.J.D. Murray, W.C. Sangster, W.H. Stevenson, and Reverend H. Girdlestone (headmaster); G.S. Reinecke, L.A. Lewis, H.M. Muirhead (captain), R.J.B. Moffatt, C.R. Cudmore, and H.B. James. St Peter's College is better known for producing captains of industry, politicians and judges, but Lance Lewis (and his more famous brother Essington) both played for Norwood (1903-12, 82 games, and 1903-10, 11 games, respectively). Morton Henry Moyes (1886-1981) graduated from the University of Adelaide (BSc in physics and mathematics) in 1910; the following year he joined Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition as meteorologist; one of his brothers was Alban George (Johnny) Moyes (1893-1963), the well-known journalist and cricket commentator.
