Heinrich Schrader (sportsman)

Heinrich Christian Schrader (5 December 1893 – 10 June 1980) was an Australian sportsman who played first-class cricket for Victoria and Australian rules football in the Victorian Football League (VFL) with University.

A Xavier College recruit, Schrader appeared in 13 games and kicked four goals for University in the 1914 VFL season but failed to play in a winning side all year.

Much later, in 1930, Schrader made his first-class cricket debut when he was picked as a right-arm medium pace bowler to take on Tasmania at the MCG.

Schrader took two wickets, including that of fellow dual VFL and cricket representative Laurie Nash.
