Career
Stone was born in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, where he played rugby on the oval of the nearby Coast Hospital. He attended Sydney Boys High School, where he continued playing rugby and was selected for the school's First XV.
Upon completing his schooling in 1933, he joined the Randwick DRUFC (known as the 'Galloping Greens'), with whom he played 93 matches. In 1938, he received state selection, playing seven matches for the New South Wales Waratahs. He also was selected for the national team, the Wallabies, in the same year, playing one Bledisloe Cup match against the New Zealand All Blacks on 23 July 1938.[1]
