Family
Ebeling's father, Arthur John Claus Frederick Ebeling (1863-1910),[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article10460880 Deaths: Ebeling, The Argus, (Thursday, 15 September 1910), p.1.] was of German descent.{{Cite web|url=https://www.footyalmanac.com.au/test-cricketers-with-german-origins/|title=Test Cricketers with German Origins|website=www.footyalmanac.com.au}} His mother was Mary Grace Ebeling (1869-1948), née Mochett,[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article142921197 Marriages: Ebeling—Mochett, The Australasian, (Saturday, 4 August 1888), p.57]; [http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article22688572 Deaths: Ebeling, The Argus, (Tuesday, 3 August 1948), p.2.] Hans Irvine Ebeling was born in Avoca, Victoria on 1 January 1905.
He married Myra Aileen Conry on 5 October 1936.[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article141780172 Weddings & Engagements: Ebeling—Conry, The Australasian, (Saturday, 10 October 1936), p.12.]
Education
Ebeling was educated at Caulfield Grammar School from 1919 to 1922,Webber (1981), p.290. where he played cricket in the school's First XI, football (in the ruck, and at centre half-forward) in its First XVIII, and as a miler in its athletic team.Wilkinson (1997), pp.72-74, 147.
He dead-heated (with J. Manning of Camberwell Grammar) for first place in the open mile race at the combined Associated Grammar School Sports meeting on 4 November 1921.[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article224455467 Grammar School Athletics, The Weekly Times, (Saturday, 12 November 1921), p.72]; [http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article204265864 Public School Sports, The Age, (Saturday, 5 November 1921), p.14.] In one match, against Camberwell Grammar in June 1922, he kicked 13 goals.[http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article222801330 Associated Grammar Schools, The Weekly Times, (Saturday, 1 July 1922), p.77.]
The association of parents who support school cricket at Caulfield Grammar is named after him. He is the only Caulfield Grammarian to have played Test cricket.

He captained Victoria to two Sheffield Shield championships in four years (1934 and 1938), captained the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) to four premierships, and played in his sole Test match against England in 1934.
A Squadron-Leader in World War II, he served as a member of the board of the MCC—a body which oversees not only the club's sporting teams but also the operations of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)—for 45 years and was serving his first year as MCC President when he died. During this time, he helped to organise the 1977 Centenary Test between England and Australia at the MCG.
In 1999, the Melbourne Cricket Club selected him in its Team of the Century.
