1938 Photographs of Jack Hooper and Jack Reeves at WA State training. Two photographs, one just of Jack Hooper and the other Reeves and Hooper.
REEVES, Edward John (Jack) – Played 96 games for Claremont between 1936 and 1946
His four interstate appearances for Western Australia included both matches at the 1937 Perth carnival when the home state came very close to securing the championship. Reeves spent much of his final season in league football as de facto coach of the club given that ostensible coach Johnny Leonard was frequently unavailable owing to business commitments. It was not a salutary end to his career, however, as Claremont finished last with just three wins from 19 games.
Played 96 games for Claremont between 1936 and 1946
HOOPER, Charles John (Jack) Played 162 games with Claremont between 1936 and 1946.
Hooper also played eight games for Western Australia, kicking 17 goals. He seemed to reserve his best interstate performances for clashes with his home state, with the most noteworthy being his three-goal, best afield display in the opening match of the 1937 Perth carnival, a match which Western Australia won by a then record margin of 114 points. He was also listed high among the best players on view after a rare West Australian win in Adelaide in 1938, as well as when they established a new record margin of victory (123 points) against the same opposition later that same season at Subiaco.
