Biography
Bundaberg winger, the brother of Australia's first Test fullback Mick Bolewski, returned home after a season with Glebe in 1912. Bolewski played for Queensland against NSW and England in 1914 and was called into Australia's First Test team that lost to England, 23-5 in Sydney. He later rejoined his brother Alex at Glebe in 1915, with both players finishing their Sydney careers with Newtown. Henry Bolewski later coached Wests in 1944.
