Epsom Handicap. A well known Sydney punter was behind the plunge and it was estimated that he coupled Rochdale with Metropolitan favourite Refulgent to win about 25,000. Bookmakers said the punter seemed to have practically an unlimited commission to put on Rochdale and would have backed him for even more if they had let him.

By TOM GOODMAN It is "Desperation Day" for Western Suburbs Rugby League team at the S.C.G., where they play St George in the premiership grand final Wests' harassing week was topped off yesterday when captain and second-row forward star Kel O'Shea had to withdraw. SETS COURSE RECORD WOLLONGONG, Fri- day. Defending title-bolder Alas Murray set a 36-holes course record of 133 (66, 67) today in the N.S.W. P.G.A. golf cham pionship.

Murray leads Stan Peach by two strokes. Today's play featured ex cellent golf, with local amateur Noel Wade's course record of 65 being equalled twice. Western Australian Peach seemingly had a new record at his mercy this morning when he was seven under the card with two holes to play. However, he had a two) over par at the 17th hole and finished five under to equal Wade's record. This afternoon Col John ston, who three years ago lost the sight of one eye, also shot 65.

FIVE UNDER Johnston was unfortunate as putts at the lasi mree holes balanced on the lip of the cup. Johnston was five under the card at the turn and then had nine successive pars home. Murray, who won the French Open this year, thrilled the crowd with three great eagles. This morning he hit two woods to the par five 12th hole, and dropped a 10ft putt. He ended this round with a screaming 315yd drive to the par tour 18th green ana sunk a 15-footer for a three.

Murray again got to the 12th in two this afternoon, and rolled in an eight-footer for his third eagle of the day. Conditions for the championship were perfect and the seaside course of 6,157 yards was playing fast. TWO UP This morning eight sub-par rounds were returned and sven were carded this afternoon. Murray now leads Peach by two strokes with John ston one shot turtner De-hind. Ian Alexander, Ted Ball and Don Gray are on 139, six shots behind Murray.

Former National Open champion Bruce Devlin disappointed although having two par rounds. Devlin tailed to sink a reasonable putt all day. The backing forced 1 bookmakers to cut Roch dale's straight-out Epsom price and promote him to become equal second favourite with Queens- lander Mullala. The price is only two points longer than the favourite, Sky High. Rochdale is a short-priced early favourite for today's lheo Marks Quality Handi cap in, whicn he is handicapped to carry 8-13 21b less than the Epsom (lm) at Randwick on Satur day, September 29.

Rochdale is one of three I horses in the race which jockey Athol Mulley could i have ridden. Yesterday mornine Mullev told Bill Clifton, the trainer Firegleam (outside), driven by L.

Sydney 1 trainer T. J. Smith is expected to complete the Newcastle double with Oakland in the N.J.C. Gold Cup at ,1 Broadmeadow tomorrow. Hayes, Ray Hanneybel and John Francis carved through the Easts' defence last week in the final.

If Ross Simpson, at out- side-centre, "opens up" to day, Randwick will be dangerous right along the three-quarters. It could be a i.al "thril ler" today. Dazzling open play is the natural gam of both sides, with the emphasis on sweeping backline movements. "SHOWCASE" They are the "showcase" teams of Sydney as they have reached the grand final despite each having four Wallabies away in New Zea land. The students' are hunting for their second successive premiership while Randwick last held the Honours in 1959.

In their semi-final Univer sity won 8-6, but it was a lucky one atter Kandwick had assaulted their line throughout the second half, Paul Wansey, the five- eighth, was not there that day and Randwick wish he was not playing today. He is an accurate drop- kicker and will be looking for the opportunity to land a held goal. NO CHANCE Randwick coach Ham Stephen is sure to instruct his team not to let wansey steady himself anywhere in the 25-yard area. University will probably see a bit more of the ball today as Miles Cooper is back there again hooking after more than a month, out. Coach Dick Tooth will be looking for a tighter unit today.

for a fair share of the ball and also asked for a lot of heavy work in the rucks. Kelly no doubt will be Wests' forward leader. Smyth has been a fine performer, but he has been knocked about this year and no doubt jaded. Wests emergency full back and goalkicker. Ken Bray, has had more ence in the senior grade than Saints' recently pro- moted Kevin McDonald.

Wests' defence, even when O'Shea was not there, has been very good forward, and among the lightweight backs, too. However, it will be sorely strained today. Provan will have Saints strong pack striving for early ascendancy, so that the way will be cleared for the backs. Saints have considerable advantages. I hey are a good team in form; they are fit and con fident, and have been re- freshed by recent spells from match play.

Provan has shown the Kearney touch in getting them into top physical condition at the peak of the season. Noel Trevena, who wa chosen as full-back for, Wests full-back and goal-kicker Ken Bray.

Sbisa will control the-Soccer final between Buda- pest and Yugal at the Sports Ground tomorrow. -'j Yugal is a club of strong Yugoslavian origin. A protest by Budapest-club against Sbisa being appointed to the match has been dismissed by the Soccer Federation.

Sbisa is deservedly recog" nised as the number one-Soccer referee in Sydney this year. Sbisa was born in the city of Pola (near Trieste) when it was part of Italy. It became Yugoslav territory af- ter the war and shortly-before Sbisa came to Australia. On his passport Sbisa is described as an Italian citizen. He is now a naturalised Australian.

Five-eighth and new skipper Arthur Summons is certain to do some kicking. St. George are hot favourites to take out their seventh successive premiership which would be a performance unparalleled in Australian senior football. But captain-coach Norm Provan last night refused to be "complacent." "I refuse to take this match for granted," he said. "I never did get complac ent about any game and 1 won't be so about a grand nnai.

Provan and another great ngure in the game, stalwari prop-torward Billy Wilson both say that this match will mark their larewell. RUSSELL IN It is expected Garry Rus sell will come into Wests a prop-forward, with John Hayes dropping from front row to second row to hi O'Shea's position. ine nu epidemic in Wests' camp swept through the reserve-grade side, who also play saints in a grand hnal today. Russell had a touch of 'flu, but last night it was said he was fit to play. Wests have had a lot of bad luck due to' unfitness in approaching these major games in recent years.

Heavy responsibility is thrown today upon their more experienced players five-eighth Summons, left- winger Peter Diamond, hooker Noel Kelly and lock Kevin amyth. Summons should have an absorbing contest with Johnny Raper. Dimond could well be moved to centre to mark the menacing Reg Gasnier, if that player begins to run not.

CUP POINTER Clash At M.V. MELBOURNE, Friday Serene Princess, Grand IT kUOlVl( UUUIVlllllVi Print and Wine Label five highly fancied candidates for the Caulfield Cup will clash in the 2,000 J. F. Feehan Handicap at Moonee Valley tomorrow. The Melbourne Weather Bureau has forecast periods of rain, and if heavy falls occur early the track, could oe anecteo.

Webster and Sometime have dominated pre-post betting on tomorrow's race. Webster is favourite, but Sometime is only half point longer. There is then a gap of 5i points to Grand Print with Serene Princess and Wine Label two points longer. DISAPPOINTED Webster has done very well on the tracks since winning the Memsie Stakes from Dhaulagin and Lord at Caulfield in Australian record time tor the nine furlongs. He won over this mile course on August 18 with 9-5, 21b less than he will carry tomorrow.

His rails draw will ensure a good position early and he could lead throughout. There have been reports that Sometime disappointed his connections with his two track gallops this week However, jockey Alan Burton, a good judge, said he was pleased with Thurs day's run of nine furlongs on the Flcmington course proper in 2m 4s the last three furlongs in 39s. hurry and probably would wait 'until this morning. Rumours last night that Moore would be on Persian Lyric resulted in book makers cutting the horse's price by 13 points and pro moting him to the tourth line of favouritism. Persian Lyric today will be having only his second start since his second in last year's Doomben Cup, but he has been working brilliantly on the training track.

Fred Hood, who rode Rochdale at his only other start in Australia when fourth in last Saturday's Kosehill Flying (6f), already has been engaged to ride equal topweight Fine and Dandy. BETTER PRICE There is a strong chance that if Fine and Dandy goes well for Hood he will be offered the mount on the horse in next Saturday's 8,000 Sprint and the Ep soin Handicap. There has been solid Epsom support for Fine and Dandy and he is on the fifth line of favouritism, He has been coupled with Burgos to win 10.000 and with Sharply for 5,000. Some bookmakers last night made champion Bogan Koad an odds-on early tav ourite for today's Rosehill Guineas, but it would not surprise to see him at a better price in Course bet ting. The bookmakers are an ticipating a big plunge on Summer Prince, who is sec ond favourite.

Summer Prince is trained by Tom Smith and will be ridden by George Moore, Ken Montgomery, trainer of Bogan Road, is confident the horse can win today's race, despite suggestions that Bogan Road has not been given enough work this week to run out the 10 furlongs. Bogan Road is not the type of horse that needs a lot of fast work to bring him to his top," Mongomery said. "All he needs is long, steady work. AS GOOD NOW "Bogan Road has done particularly well and I con sider he is every bit as good now as at any part of his career. Montgomery said he expected to see Bogan Road not very far away from the leaders at any stage of the race.

"He is a horse that has to be given time to settle down. "Consequently, jt takes him about half a furlong to really hnd his legs. Present plans are for Bogan Road to run in the AJ.C. Derby (Hm) at Randwick on Saturday, September 29 and then go to Melbourne for the Caulfield Cup (lim) on October 20. i Jockey George Mulley's decision to ride French Gun in the First Novice Handicap has left trainer Tom Smith without a rider for Morning Time.

Smith has decided to give stable apprentice R. Thom-sen the mount on Smuggle, early favourite for the Third Novice Handicap. Moviegoer, to be ridden by George Moore, looks like displacing South Australian The Dip as favourite for the Kosehill Handicap. BOWLS CLUB MATCHES DOVER HEIGHTS. Open pairs: M.

There will be heaps of good wishes for Bradley. Bradley, moving into first grade grand final in his initial season, equals the achievement many years ago of Jack O'Brien, who retired a couple of seasons ago.
