The Football Record Round 1, 1912
"Good old Harry O'Bern who was a goal umpire for the League since the day of it's formation, has decided to wear no white coat this winter, which is another way of saying that the old 'un have given up umpiring.
He has been a conspicious figure in the football world for fully 30 years, and in his time played well for Melbourne and Carlton."
