THE AGE, Monday 23 November 1987 Sport Extra 3 Queensland pro sprinting star set to move to Melbourne switch In clubs and may even run for Victoria at the national Ron fejj was beaten by Russell Elliot in the final. In the past few years professional running has given Victoria and Australia several talented sprinters, including Commonwealth Games representatives John DJnan and Chris Perry. Stawell winner Elliot comes from the same professional stable as Perry and Dinan. Once in Melbourne, Peters will have all the competition he needs to reduce his 100 metres time to 10.34. His opponents will include Australian open and Junior champion Shane Naylor, Victoria titleholder Reld Pryor, national record holder Gerard Keating, world championships representative Robert Stone, as well as Perry and Dinan.

Professional sprinting will give Victorian athletics another big boost when Queenslander Warren Peters moves to Melbourne in January. Peters, second In this year's Stawell Gift, was at Olympic Park on Saturday and said he would move here soon to try for a place in next year's Seoul Olympic team. Peters, 25, also is the reigning world beach sprint champion, but has yet to tackle amateur track seriously. He returned to the Gold Coast yesterday after coming to Mel-bourne for II days to be assessed by leading sprint coach Neville Sillitoe under the guidance of despite loss "Neville thinks it's possible for me to make the games team and I believe him," said Peters, whose second at Stawell off 4.5 metres in 12.11 converts to a 19.5 100 metres. "I couldnt possibly get the games standard If I stayed in Queensland.

I need hard training and tough competition and 111 come to live In Melbourne to get It" said Peters, who won his 100 metres heat on Saturday In 10.8 Into a slight wind. "It's my big commitment to go to Seoul and I'll bit It full on." Until now all Peters' drive had been directed towards winning Stawell. He was favorite this year after having run the fastest heat and semi-final times, but he John Frawley, 1 v. '-MmmmimMim' It Walker out for three months St Kilda left arm paceman Darren Walker is unlikely to play for at least three months after injuring his knee at training last Thursday night Walker had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on Friday, and had two-thirds of his cartilage removed. The injury comes just as Walker was starting to make his mark in district ranks.

He toured with the Victorian team earlier in the' season to New Zealand, and played two one-day games against Auckland. Walker has missed two premiership games with St Kilda because of a back injury which he has just overcome. disguised is his power that shots which, for most players, would trickle away for a single, crashed into the boundary. Cosier was as watchful as he was powerful. Melbourne must have thought it was in trouble when Ian Hennig was being slogged.

One of the leading wicket takers this season, Hennig lost his guile and line and was eventually replaced. He finished with the dismal figures of 180 off 22.2 overs. The only trouble Cosier and Murphy faced came not from the bowling but from trying to place the ball. With a defensive field set the stroke-making ability of both batsmen was tested. The pair put on 116 runs before Cosier was caught behind off leg-spinner Michael Ash.

Geoff Fontaine walked on to the ground to face up, but was sent back as Cosier summoned Shaun Graf to come out and join Murphy. Graf was clean bowled for 0 and Fontaine was the next man in. With the departure of Graf, the fiery Ian Holten, who would probably appeal for bis own dismissal, returned and had Murphy caught 1 -ft right, falfeing to Victorian Tennis Association president Dr John Fraser these two challenges, he says he will certainly race at Stawell again next Easter. His visit to Melbourne this time has not been without its hassles, because Queensland does not have the same rules as Victoria over transferring from club to club. Queensland refused to give Peters a transfer to run with Silli-toe's Essendon-East Melbourne club, so on Saturday Peters had to compete by invitation.

Instead of being able to compete against Naylor and Stone in the most important A Grade 199metres on the day he lined up with a lesser field. But when he moves here in January he will make a compete Picture: JOE SABUAK about his injury. from one injury but from wear and tear there is not a lot of blood and calcium for it to heal quickly," Dr Fraser said. If the injury is as bad as first feared, Frawley may be out for anything up to 10 weeks, causing him to miss the Australian summer circuit After Frawley defaulted, Anderson lost an exhibition match against Charlton Eagle, but the points he gained from this circuit have boosted his world ranking from the high 700s to under 300.

Schuwalow, Malaxos and Perkins will all run the VMC Road Runners Emit Zatopek women's 10,000 metres at Olympic Park on 12 December. Judging by Saturday's results, the Olympic qualifying standard of 33 minutes will almost certainly be bettered in that race.

At the same time, the world beach sprint title will be held on the Gold Coast and Peters would dearly love to defend the title be won in 1983 when the championship was last held. "If I think I can make the Olympics I'll definitely go to Perth.

If I don't then HI defend my world beach title," he said. Whatever happens in either of ley hoped it was only a strain, he was not confident. "It's the same symptoms as last time, the pain is the same," he said. "I'll see a specialist tomorrow and hopefully the news is better than a stress facture. "I'll pray it's a strain because I'd hate to put an estimate on how long another stress fracture would keep me out" The president of the Victorian Tennis Association, Dr John Fraser, had a look at the wrist yesterday afternoon and said there was every sign that Frawley had suffered the same injury.

"When you have a clean break it is not as bad because the local reaction to the area is good, but in a stress fracture a fracture not road championship in Adelaide on 20 March and would possibly run a track race, too. Australia finished fifth in the teams race, one place ahead of Norway, in its best team performance of the past three years in which It has sent full teams. Perkins said that national champion Sue Malaxos started quickly and led Kristiansen and Portugal's Aurora Cunha, winner of the past three world championship races, after the first kilometre. Malaxos dropped back but held on to finish 21st in 50:52, almost two minutes faster than her previous best The highest Australian placer was Carolyn Schuwalow, who started more conservatively than Malaxos and Perkins be Bryce Stewart (17 up), Ray Glasser (10) and Denis Dalton (14), brought in winning teams. Ivanhoe and Bundoora share second spot on the ladder following wins against Rosanna and Fitz-roy respectively.

It was Bundoora's fourth win in a row and i(s winners at Fitzroy. where it took the points 96-92, were Steve Pazaros (10 up) and Brian Lambert (6). MCC (section three) and Mount Waverley (section four) made the winning list for the first time this season. MCC shocked Altona with its 106-81 win by Arnold O'Brien (20 titles. Extremely strongly built Naylor, 29, who won the rare Australian open and junior sprint titles this year, is set for another big summer.

After running the fastest 194 metres in 19.9 on Saturday his fastest so far this season Naylor said he had never been as fit at this stage of year, and was confident he would get to 1944 to push for Olympic selections "I've done a lot of hill running over winter and I'll be flying by February and March," said Naylor, whose best time last 'year was 19.3S sec Just 9.91 sec slower than needed for Seoul. Five Scots i ordered off in 3-1 cup defeat By LAURIE SCHWAB Scotland's coach Bill Murray, team manager Tom Mitchell and players Ally Dick, Lawrie McKinna and Steve Marley were ordered off the field during a 3-1 loss to Chile in the Ansett World Cup soccer series at Schintler Reserve, Footscray, on Saturday. The competition is for players representing their countries-of origin. Scotland's first match, against Turkey two weeks. ago, was abandoned at 1-1 because players were chasing each other across the field, intent on fighting.

Chile's coach, Patricio Barrera. shrugged his shoulders, searching for words to describe what, had happened. "We played good soccer South American soccer and the Scots could not handle if he said. "They started swearing at the referee and playing rough." Scotland's only goal came from a dubious penalty converted by Charlie Egan. He levelled the score at 1-1, but just before half-time Pedro Ramos missed a penalty for Chile, awarded over a handball offence.

With Ramos and Juan Toro. scorer of the first goat, calling the shots in midfield and Erasmo Sandoval playing strongly in defence, Chile wrapped up the game with two goals by Luis Elgueta in. the second half. In its quarter-final next Sunday, Chile meets Yugoslavia, which re corded the highest score in. the four-year history of the Ansett World Cup in beating France 11-1 yesterday.

Greece, which beat Hungary 5-1 on Saturday, meets England in a quarter-final at 1pm next Saturday. The Ansett World Cup is a revival of the Laidlaw' World! Cup, which drew crowds of up to 20,000 in the '50s and early '60s. Despite its popularity, it may be in its. last season as a Victorian Soccer.

Carroll gives surf title hopes a boost Sydney surfer Tom Carroll's world title hopes soared yesterday after he clinched the $90,000 BHP Steel International at Newcastle Beach. Carroll pipped Britain's Martin Potter in the final with a winning margin of only 0.2 points. The victory, his second in three weeks, has moved him to No.

The stocky goofy-footer from Newport earlier edged out Glen Winton of Norah Head in a thrilling semi-final, while Potter proved too strong for his semifinal opponent Brad Gerlach of California. Despite Carrolls' courageous win today, Damien Hardman of Narrabeen still leads the world title race with 10,830 points 70 points clear of Barton Lynch of Manly.

SPORT EXTRA 4: feUila Wrist injury ends Frawley mini i Sprinter Warren Peters: trying for Seoul rows 8y SAM PRENESTI The St Kilda batsmen failed to achieve what would have been a triumph against the odds and Melbourne on Saturday. But rather than lessen the standing of one of the competition's great batting line-ups, the day's proceedings only enhanced it.

We were tantalised by the side's skill and depth. The way it managed to fight back with such class, even when some of the vital organs had been removed. The rain ensured that hitting boundaries would be difficult even on the hard Junction Oval surface, but luckily the pitch was unaffected. Dark clouds formed and rain fell as the weather tried to convert the game to "ordinary conditions" which could have resulted in a draw. Last year both days of the clash between these two district monoliths were washed out.

There was determination this time that our chance to see the clubs swap blows would not be denied again. As with the weather, the early signs were not particularly encouraging for St Kilda. Brian Robinson was caught brilliantly down the leg side by Robert Templeton off the bowling of Ian Holten. His partner, Steve Maddocks, was the steadying influence. As usual he exploited his power square of the wicket and, with Andrew Lynch, took the score to 68 before Lynch was trapped lbw off the bowling of Peter King.

King was to change the course of the game in the next over when he had Maddocks (43) and Warren Whiteside (0) both caught be-hind. With 30 overs gone St Kilda was 473. Then came the partnership of the innings. Jamie Murphy, the young left-handed hopeful, was joined at the wicket by Gary Cosier. Murphy, who has tried to inherit some of Cosier's confidence this season, played effortless strokes on either side of the wicket So Alpine rally wins national title for Carr By CHRISTOPHER de FRAGA Canberra driver Greg Carr with Fred Gocentas in an Alfa Romeo GTV6 has won the Australian Rally Championship by finishing second in the Light Car Club's uct-iuiug event, me or viacu m- pine rally, at the weekend.

His nearest rival, Wayne Bell of Sydney with Dave Boddy in a Mazda 323 turbo four-wheel-drive, began the 1000-kilometre, two-and-a-half day event two points behind Carr and Gocentas, and finished fifth in the Alpine to take second place in the championship. Both the championship leaders struck mechanical trouble allow- ing the New South Wales crew of Ian Hill and Phillip Bonser in their Subaru turbo four-wheel- drive through to win the Alpine, Australia's oldest rally it was first run in 1921. The win gave Hill and Bonser fourth place in the Australian title series. Bell took the lead early on dusty, fast roads until a bent front suspension arm slowed him. A broken rear suspension caused further delays.

Carr, winner of five Alpine rallies, then took over. With six four-wheel-drive cars pursuing his two- wheel-drive Alfa Romeo through Myrtleford forests made slippery by thunderstorms, Carr increased nis lead to nine minutes through brilliant driving. Just 50 kilometres from the finish, a front suspension strut broke in the Alfa Romeo and the brakes gave out Carr was forced to let Hill past but struggled on to finish second in the event and sain 84 'points in the Australian championship. 1 Former South Australian champion, Ed Ordynski with Mick Harker in a Subaru turbo four-wheel-drive was third in the Al- pine after being slowed with a flat tyre.

"I like what I've seen of Warren and I think he could make the Olympic team," said Sillitoe, -who coached him by correspondence during the winter. Peters has a way to go before reaching the Olympic 191 metres qualifying time of 11.34 seconds, but he has the natural sprinting ability to do It Speed is in the family because his twin brother Darren Is almost as fast behind.

Murphy had made 80 off 124 balls. It was his highest district score, but he departed with St Kilda in serious trouble. With the top seven batsmen removed and the score 217 the game looked won, and in effect it had been. But the remaining batsmen were not convinced as they tried to get as close to the total as possible. Keeper Jason Jacoby and Geoff Fontaine pushed the score along, but things got even better after Fontaine was dismissed and Peter Buchanan came in.

Jacoby and Buchanan had a partnership of 34 runs, and at one stage it seemed the game might get very close. But Jacoby (27), the danger man, was out well caught just behind square leg by Mark Hooper. The threat was removed. Buchanan went on to make 36 before being caught by Ash trying to slog Hennig. PRAHRAN recorded an excellent win over NORTHCOTE on Saturday, due mainly to the efforts of 18-year old left arm fast bowler Wayne Pickering who took 620 off 14.2 overs.

Pickering clean bowled all his victims as Northcote only managed 102 chasing 130. FOOTSCRAY continued its good form when it managed to defend 205 and have SOUTH MELBOURNE all out for 120. South opened disastrously in its chase and at one stage South had lost 533. Peter Dredge bowled superbly to take the first four wickets and finished 4-27 off 14 overs. Captain and left-arm spinner, Damien Ryan took 222 off 13, which included two stumpings by keeper Rainer Reber.

In another strong bowling per-formance NORTH MEL-BOURNE-GEELONG right-arm pace bowler Gordon MacFarlane, playing his first senior game for the season, took 632 in a good win against WAVERLEY. Chasing 212 Waverley collapsed to be all out for 123 on a pitch helpful to the bowling team. SPORT EXTRA 4: scoreboards The $14,400 first prize yesterday has pushed Taylor from 22nd to 10th on the Australian order of merit He was one behind King at the 72nd hole, but Taylor scrambled a desperate par from a greenside bunker while King, who reached the green in three, missed his three-metre par-saving putt King, 21, the 1984 Australian amateur champion, turned professional three months ago at the player's school in Sydney. Yesterday was his best professional finish, but King rued the errant shot in the play-off after both bad paired the first hole. "I wasn't sure which club to hit to the green," he said.

"I went for an easy four iron instead of a hard five and pushed it off line." Little-known American Kris Moe set a course record yesterday with a four-under-par 68 en the way to a 299 aggregate.

His great fear yesterday was that he had again suffered a stress fracture in the wrist the same injury he suffered in 1985 when his tennis career was also showing tremendous promise. He failed to have the injury properly diagnosed last time and tried to continue playing, only for the pain to return and keep him out for more months.

Finally, early this year an x-ray revealed the stress fracture and doctors ordered complete rest. The Brisbane satellite circuit in August, which he went through unbeaten, provided his first full comeback tournaments. The wrist was sore and swollen again yesterday and while Fraw Taylor breaks drought with win in WA Open Kristiansen to defend title here Queenslander Gerard Taylor broke through for his first major win in professional golf when he beat Western Australian Brad King at the second play-off hole in the $80,000 National Panasonic WA Open at Joondalup, Perth, yesterday. At the long par four 18th Taylor made it safely to the green with his second shot, but King pushed his approach into the treacherous greenside rough. Taylor, 28, safely paired the hole, with King still three metres away facing a bogey putt.

Both finished the tournament on two-over-par 290, with another Western Australian, Craig Parry, one shot away on 291 in third place. "I've been in three minor playoffs before today and I've won them all," Taylor said. "This is the highlight of my career, my first PGA win." In his nine years as a professional, Taylor has won only the New Guinea Open and a number of other smaller tournaments. He was a surprise leader after the third round of the British Open at Muirf ield this year before finishing 25th. By HARVEY SILVER A downcast John Frawley was back home in Brisbane last night pondering a wrist injury that seems to be the same as the one that kept him out of tennis for nearly two years.

Frawley, 22, was forced to withdraw from yesterday's final of the Thermoskin Australian Satellite Masters against 16-year-old Australian Institute of Sport student Johan Anderson after the injury flared during his doubles match on Saturday. He hit up for 20 minutes yesterday morning, but the wrist was too sore for him to take his place in the final at Yarra Valley Country Club, Bulleen.
