worse. Naturally the big difference could be outweighed by Blackson staying the National distance better than Coogee Bay, but Coogee Bay's trainer, George Daniel, is convinced his horse will see out the journey. Last year's National winner Faux Pas is outright favorite at 94. The gelding is close to top form again, and obviously is better suited by the extra distance of the National. Young Flemington trainer Ron Maund, a thorough conditioner, is" confident thpt Faux Pas will go close to- winning again.

Solum, second favorite at 51, has eased slightly from his opening 92. Trainer Max Bradfleid has Solum in the pink of condition and the gelding is sure "to prove a danger provided ne runs truly to nis jumps. This has been one of his main faults. Blackson also has eased a point to 61. Coogee Bay's price is unchanged at 71 and it would not surprise to see him firm with ace jumping rider, Tom Mc-Ginley.

Mr. Cavanagh, who took over at South Melbourne last' Monday, claimed reform groups had built up, and there was a whispering campaign 1 against the committee, plavers and coach Norm Smith. He called on the behind-, the-scene "knockers" stop their activities, and to help the club get back onto-, its feet. In the middle of the South yesterday sold centreman Wayne Walsh back to Richmond.

South refused a Richmond offer of. $4000 for. but the Tigers raised their bid to $5000 and South signed the clearance papers. South brought Walsh from Richmond four years ago for $500. Late yesterday afternoon Walsh's papers were lodged with the VFL, and he was given a permit to play with Richmond today.

He will replace ruck-rover Greg Holllck in the Tigers' Reserve grade team to play Gee long. Mr. Cavanagh, a former Hawthorn FC secretary, said, "In my short time at South I have been amazed, and concerned, at the lack of support for the club. "I have been swamped with rumors of reform groups, and other groups who think they are capable of controlling the club in a more efficient manner. "I would like to appeal to these groups to stop their behind-the-scenes activities, and to our suporters and sub-committees to give their support tothe elected senior committee," Mr.

Cavanagh' said. mCtm If I The six-year-old looks to have all the credentials for a gruelling race like the National a light weight, stamina and consistent recent form. Coogee Bay set a world record -of 3.29.6 for two miles when he easily beat Right Son and Benghazi over two miles at Bendigo on June 1. He carried 10.9, 8 lb. more than Right Son, and today drops to 9.2 2 lb.

Coogee Bay had 10.6 when he ran on to finish third to Right Son and Blackson in the $10,000 Moonee Valley Hurdle (2 m. and 1 fur.) last Saturday, He would have been much closer to the 'Winner had he not bungled the last two jumps. Blackson reads as one of the main chances in the National following his strong finish in the Valley Newton seven shots of lead DUNDEE, June 30. professional Jack Newton, 22, was the only Australian with a chance at the half-way stage of the Scottish Open golf tournament yesterday.

Newton, with two one-under par rounds of 72, is seven strokes from the lead. The lead is held by 28-year-old Italian world cup player Roberto Bernardini, who shot a 68 yesterday to equal the course record. He has a total of 137. Veteran Kel Nagle and youngster Ian Stanley are together on 148, Peter Thomson is struggling on 152, and just beating the cut-off for the final rounds are Robert Shearer, Tom Linskey and Guy Wolsten-holme, all on 153.

Evonne Goolagong work i ed up to near her brilliant best in winning her third round singles match this afternoon, beating the American Junior Susan Stap with ease. Miss Goolagong won 6-2, 1 6-0 in 40 winning the last eight games straight and taking only 15 minutes to race through the second set Miss Stap is in the Chris Evert mould, a baseliner with a double-handed backhand and doubtless Evonne appreciated the chance to get the feel of this type of player, as Miss Evert Is probably the one she must beat to reach the final.

The 18-year-old American girl began well, going for her shots and finding the corners and the lines, but some of her best shots were returned with even brisker strokes from the champion. As Miss Goolagong 'Evomie By RON CARTER Collingwood has been riding high for-the past few weeks, but it is due for a fall and the crunch looks like coming at Carlton today. And if they suffer their first loss in five games, the Magpies seem certain to forfeit the place in the top five they have battled so hard to reach. v' Both Hawthorn and Foot-scray are poised to climb above Collingwood if it fails at Princes Park in one of the really big games of the season. No Peter McKenna, no Collingwood, is the way I see the game.

With McKenna in front of goals today it could have been a different outlook for the Magpies. He is worth six goals, and even though Rob Dean will do a serviceable job as stand-in full-forward, he cannot be put in the same class as McKenna when it comes to getting goals. The one big threat to Carlton's winning chance is the fitness doubt about its two big ruckmen, John NichoIIs and Peter Jones. Against Len Thompson and Graeme Jenkin, the Blues need them fully fit-not three-quarter fit. When the teams last met, at Victoria Park in the second round, Collingwood got up to make a drawn game of it after being four goals down at half time.

There is little chance of anything like this happening today. If the Blues get a lead like that, they certainly won't stop as they did in the previous game. Admittedly, both sides have improved since then, but it is Blues who have reached a higher standard that's why they are on top of the ladder. Carlton will win because it has the forwards and attacking players to break down Collingwood's defence, and the back men to stop the Magpies from getting goals. They call the Blues the and thatis a pretty good description" 'of this line-uO' It- has toughness, weight, skill and fitness; Like Collingwood, Carlton has lost its regular full-forward, Greg Kennedy, be "cause of injury.

Cavanagh said he was maKing his plea with the full knowledge of the club "Nobody would be foolish enough to say that South, at present, is. a premiership proposition. Nor would they say it Js likely to be in 1973," he said; "However, we have organised an ambitious recruiting campaign, and we will search for young players with potential in our local and country zones. "We are starting from scratch, and we feel sure the effort will be rewarding to all South followers." Mr. Cavanagh said individualists and dissatisfied players would not be tolerated at the club.

"We ask everyone to unite and give the club the same loyalty and support it so urgently needs." Walsh, 26, said last night: "It's great to be able to stay in League football, and I'm looking forward to playing. with Richmond "I would like to thank South for the way it treated me in the light of what has happened today.

Class sprinter, Triton, and the well-performed lightweight, Amberdue, will be the dangers. Trainer Bart Cummings has always held a very high opinion of Crown's ability, but he kept it as much a secret as possible.

When Grown finished brilliantly to beat champion Dual Choice in the Newmarket Handicap at Flemington last March, the wily trainer's judgment had been vindicated. Since then Crown has gone on improving, and now Cummings is highly confident that the gelding will lead home the Ten Thousand field. There was a tremendous amount of merit in Crown's seventh to Amberdue over six at Eagle Farm last Saturday. The gelding was back 12th in the early stages which is unlike him and then suffered a check near the half mile. In the straight Crown could not get clear, and went to the post going at three-quarter pace.

Graham Cook rode him then, but Roy Higgins will be in the saddle today. In my opinion the barrier line-up will be perfect for Higgins, with specific emphasis on Triton, being drawn just inside Crown. Triton is a fast and as his rider, Larry 01-sen, is going to be anxious to get across into a handy position, the favorite should To: Football Clubs (all codes) also Hockey, Golf, Cricket, Basketball, arid A Swimming Clubs In fact, any Sporting Club.
