PEACOCK'S INFLUENCE
Liverpool Echo - Monday 17 July 1933
Blackstaff’s Notes
The old Everton half back Jimmy Peacock, whose agreement with Clapton Orient was cancelled by the club about 'Christmas time in order to enable him to take up a coaching appointment in Sweden, has established himself well in Stockholm. A letter from the secretary of the leading club there, endeavouring to fix up a London tour at the end of their season in the autumn, states that Peacock's influence and tuition have led to a wonderful development in the finer arts of the game. The Swedes are anxious to show their paces before English crowds. They have several internationals with the A.I.K. team, who will be competing for the ' world championship next year in Rome.
SIX SOUTH AFRICANS
J. S. B.," of Wavertree, writes to point out that Murray (ex-Everton) and Gray (ex-Liverpool) should be added to the list of South African players who have turned professional, making five with Dewar, Riley, and Gordon Hodgson. “I also seem to remember Liverpool signing a centre forward from South Africa, but be faded out very quickly (strange!), and I cannot recall his name. Can you help me here, as. strange to say, I was arguing with a friend on the, very point the other day?" Certainly. The player was Locke, who came to Liverpool in September, 1929, and went back to South Africa in March the following year.

IN RUDDERLESS YACHT
Liverpool Echo - Monday 31 July 1933
Exciting Adventure off Anglesey
From Conway, Monday.
The Beaumaris lifeboat was called out late last night to the assistance of a small yacht, the Oliver, which, it was stated, was drifting rudderless in a gale off Penmon Head, Anglesey, with seven people on board. The assistance of the lifeboat, however, was not required. Mr. Vernon Oliver, son of the old Welsh international and Everton footballer, of Llandegfan, who was in command of the yacht, succeeded by skilful seamanship in bringing his vessel safely ashore at Penmon Sands. All were able to walk ashore, apparently none the worse for their somewhat thrilling adventure.
A Buddeting
The yacht was first observed by the Penmon coastguard beating successfully homeward up the Menai Straits. A gale of wind was blowing, and presently it was noticed that the little vessel had got suddenly out of control, and was in grave danger of being cast ashore on Puffin Island. The Beaumaris lifeboat was summoned, but before it could arrive the yacht was safely turned about, and after an hour's battle-with the elements, during which those on board were badly buffeted, the Oliver was success, fully maneuvered into the shelter of Penmon Bay. Mr. Oliver said everything was all right until they lost the rudder. He and his family and friends proceeded home by car. The seven people on board were Mr. Vernon Oliver, Emlyn Oliver, John Oliver, Nancy Oliver, Marjorie Henson, Edna Whittaker, and Norman Thomas, all of Llandegfan.
