From Wikipedia:
Macquarie Gordon (‘Max’) Carpenter was an Australian rugby union international. Born in Trangie, New South Wales, he attended Randwick Intermediate High School and was a state schoolboys rugby league representative. He also played Linton Cup tennis for his state, notably beating Adrian Quist in 1929.
A speedy three-quarter, Carpenter started his rugby career in Western Australia after he had to move to Perth in 1930 for employment. His Wallabies caps came later while he was based in Melbourne, where he played for Footscray. Selected by the Wallabies in 1938 as a winger and goal-kicker, Carpenter contributed 20 of his team’s 23 points in his two Bledisloe Cup appearances, including a two try performance in Brisbane. He was on the 1939-40 tour of Britain and Ireland that was abandoned two days after the team’s arrival on account of the war.
Carpenter coached Sydney clubs Drummoyne and Parramatta in the immediate post-war period.
