Page 39 The 24-year-old at the helm of Condor in this year's Sydney-Hobart Scorse wins stay to ride Belltoller Mirror to maxi in 10 years The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday, November 28, 1984 from Marina: Nirvana is Condor's arch-rival, beating her over the line in last year's Sydney to Hobart, only to be disqualified later. "The thing I seemed to learn most from Ted Turner, the other America's Cup skipper who was on Condor for last year's race, was good jokes. "These things are very different from 12-metres but it will be a good experience sailing with John." Marina describes Condor as "just a big Mirror He concedes, however, that there is slightly more at stake with such a boat in his care. "It was a bit scary when we were coming here past Lord Howe Island and it was blowing 50 knots," he said. "It's times like those when you realise what an awesome responsibility you have." Condor, registered in Bermuda, is the biggest and most expensive of the yachts in this year's Sydney to Hobart and Marina hopes the winds blow.

If they do, Condor could well break the race record of Kialoa, of the United States, in 1975: two days, 14 hours. By ADRIAN SWIFT S'Scott Marina has always been in charge of things. UAt 10 it was a $300 Mirror Dinghy. At 17, it was a $10,000 rowing eight and now, at 24, it's a $3. million maxi racing yacht, Marina is the sailing master of Condor, the maxi that took line honours in last year's Sydney-Hobart race.

He, with John Kolius, the New York Yacht Club's nominated skipper for the 1987 challenge for die America's Cup, will sail her in this year's AWA Sydney to Hobart He is probably the youngest to look after such an important racing yacht knew a lot of the guys on Condor and when they were refitting in New Zealand last year I asked if I could come on board as a racing crewman," the deeply tanned Marina said on Condor yesterday. "It just developed from there." His rise to sailing master on one of the world's top maxis has been rapid. It was only 10 years ago that he was sailing a humble Mirror Dinghy on a dam on the family's property near Young. "Although we came from the country, we were a real sailing family and when I was pretty young, my father put me in the boat and taught me to sail," he said. "When I went to school at King's at Parramatta, I sailed on the Harbour at Rose Bay and also got involved in rowing.

"In 1976 I was the coxswain in the King's first eight when we came third in the Head of the River. "Then, when I was still at school, I helped my father bring a boat back from Fiji. "I went into the workforce for a while but pretty soon I was just sailing boats around the Mediterranean." It was two years before he made it back to Australia. "When I saw Centrepoint tower about 40 miles out to sea, I thought: 'Wow! I'm home'" As a professional skipper, Marina spends little time in Australia, but while he is here, he says that Condor should take out line honours again in this year's Sydney to Hobart. "I think we're sailing better than ever," he said.

"We beat Nirvana in the Pan Am Clipper Cup and that's all that matters. that Sunny Rebel was "totally cramped for room" in the home straight and. "No other jockey could have done any better," he said. Sunny Rebel, trained by Horrie McCoy, was a length second to Drumtop (7-1). No action was taken against McCoy or Sunny Rebel's owners.

Gordon Benson, Belltoller's Warwick Farm-based trainer, was relieved to learn that Scorse had been granted the stay of proceedings. "We have put a lot of time into Belltoller and it would have been cruel for John to miss the ride," he said. "I think this campaign will be Belltoller's best "I only hope his Scorse's appeal is successful because there are some nice races for Belltoller over the Christmas period." Belltoller, a Randwick winner, has always shown considerable promise and Benson nominated the $50,000 Summer Cup, in December as the gelding's likely mission. Today, Belltoller will have his third start from a spell and Benson expects the five-year-old to display "something of his The gelding was second favourite at 7-2 last night, just behind the topweight Cobal (9-4). Jockey Stephen Schofield was charged with careless riding at the Wyong meeting yesterday and was suspended from riding until December 11.

By IAN MANNING Jockey John Scorse, disqualified for six months yesterday by Wyong Turf Club stewards, fought hard last night to keep the ride on Belltoller in the Bannis-kirk Handicap, at Rand-wick today. Scorse, 23, charged under Australian Rule of Racing 135 (b) for not giving Sunny Rebel every' opportunity to win at Wyong last Thursday, pleaded not guilty and lodged an immediate appeal to the Newcastle Racing Association. After lodging his appeal, Scorse drove to the Australian Jockey Club offices at Randwick and applied for a stay of proceedings to allow him to ride the highly fancied Belltoller at today's twilight meeting. Mr Bill Charles, the AJC's newly appointed racing manager, telephoned Scorse at 6 pm to inform him that the committee had granted his request Scorse said: "It's been a long day, but getting the stay of proceedings makes it worthwhile. "I was a victim of circumstances on Sunny Rebel and hope to prove it at the appeal." Mr John Haigh, the chief steward at Wyong, alleged that Scorse had allowed Sunny Rebel to drift back to last in the early stages and, on entering the straight, had made no effort to take a run which became available.

Scorse maintained last night Scott Marina at the wheel of Condor 10 years ago he was sailing a Mirror Dinghy. DAVID ROBERTSON looks at the super-fast cars and drivers in the World Endurance Championship at Sandown on Sunday. It's all change: Brown Padagas, Hunter schoolboy reps Australia finally takes its place on the grid of world motor sport at Sandown on Sunday when the fastest, most expensive and most powerful field of racing cars ever seen on these shores lines up for the final round of the World Endurance Championship. A total of 29 cars 13 of them the brutally powerful, twin-turbo, 650 horsepower, Porsche 956s that have dominated major races like Le Mans in recent years driven by a unique group of drivers from a dozen different countries, recognised as the real "supermen" of the sport, will contest the race. They've faced each other nine times already this year on top circuits in Europe, North America and Japan but Sandown will be the showdown.

The former Formula One driv-. ers, West Germans Jochen Mass and Stefan Bellof, who both drive for the three car Rothmans Porsche team, are deadlocked on points. Bellof leads Mass 118 points to 1 12 in the WEC Drivers' Championship after his victory ahead of former McLaren Fl driver John Watson, of Ireland, at Mount Fuji in the last round. To win the title, Mass must win at Sandown on Sunday, with Bellof placed fifth or lower. The Rothmans Porsche team dominate the championship, with als like Kevlar, aluminium and magnesium.

The rear-engined Porsches will scream from rest to 160 kmh in an amazing 3.6 seconds. They place tremendous demands on their drivers, not only needing their absolute concentration, driving skill and sheer racecraft, but being physically demanding. Charging along, at an average 260 kmh, for hours at a stretch in a noisy, hot and cramped cockpit just centimetres from the ground calls for a special breed of driver. They earn their handsome fees. The 22 cars that have been shipped here by sea and air the Porsches, BMW Mis, Italian Albas and British Tigas are worth a cool $7 million.

The World Endurance Championship is the first event ever staged in Australia to count in a recognised international series. The Group championship rivals Formula One in that regard and also in terms of its popularity in much of the world. World television attention will be focused on Melbourne. Locally the ABC plans to broadcast the start and, in a 1 'i-half hour special, will show the finish live as well as edited highlights. Group racing is assuming more importance these days because of the involvement of major motor manufacturers.

Paul Padagas, of The Australian, and Anthony Hunter, of Albury, have been selected to represent NSW in the TAA National Schoolboys' Golf Championship in Tasmania on December 15-16. Royal Canberra's Andrew Bruyns, Belconnen's Scott Davis and Dubbo's Terry Smith have been nominated for the Australian Golf Union's advanced training squad at Kingston Heath and Royal Melbourne from December 9-14. Sleek and slippery: the Rothmans Porsche 956s that are capable of travelling from rest to 160 kmh in 3.6 seconds. Stuttgart Stormers and Supermen hit Sandown The performances of the State's most outstanding trainees, Ken Trimble and Jason Deep, will be watched with interest when the Australian Trainee Professionals Championship is held at Orange on the weekend. Trimble, of Concord, has won at least 14 trainee events this year; Deep has been winning almost everything in the Western Districts.

Deep, who now plays at Went-worth, made history when he qualified for the Australian Open when an amateur from Coota-mundra at the age of 15. Leading tour golfers Wayne Riley and Peter Fowler are among the previous six winners of the event From Page 40 "For example, when it first became known that 20 Olympians had gone on the dole, it was headline news and so it should have been," he said. "It was a deplorable situation. But now that we've found a way to correct that, it has sunk without a trace." The solution had been an ambitious S3.5 million scheme to help top Australian athletes, potential sports stars and top-ranked coaches. Some 400 athletes and up to 20 coaches would receive grants of up to $10,000 for individuals and team members and up to $20,000 for top coaches.

A second major initiative had been tax averaging over five years for professional sportsmen. "It will provide the sort of social justice that farmers, authors and artists have had for years," he said. "When I announced this at a sponsors' dinner at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club recently, Norman embraced me. He said: 'Mate! It will bring me back to Australia'." A third major initiative had been tax deductions on donations to sport. think there are an extraordinary number of corporations in Australia that are looking for ways to improve their corporate image," he said.

"This will give them the opportunity to be seen to be doing something for sport in Australia. "Part of the arrangement here is the establishment of a Sports Aid Foundation. By encouraging a cross-section of the Australian business community to serve on it as trustees we will be able to use their business skills to attract a great stack of money from the corporate sector." five times Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx of Belgium third on 89 points, this year's Le Mans victor Henri Pescarolo of France on 75, just clear of Englishman Derek Bell on 71. These three are familiar to Australian race fans, with Ickx having shared victory in a Falcon with Allan Moffat in 1977 and Pescorolo and Bell having run in the Aussie classic several times. Bell, a 43-year-old former farmer who has won Le Mans three times, has run Bathurst five times and also drove for Ferrari in the old Tasman Series.

Pescorolo has regularly co-driven with John Goss. Australia's hopes will be riding with our own Le Mans winner, South Australian Vern Schuppan and his co-driver, the former world champion Alan Jones. They are sharing another of the super-quick Porsche 956 "Stuttgart like they did this year at Le Mans and" in the Silverstone 1,000. The Group cars they race are $250,000 hand-built monsters, capable of 320 kmh, made from ultra-modern, lightweight materi Israelis better than Socceroos, says Robson Former State representative Rory Slade had rounds of 70-71 to win the NSW Champion of Champions title on his home course, Wollongong, at the weekend. Slade won by two strokes from Rod Boyd, who had a five-under-par 283 the previous weekend to win the Yowani club championship by 22 shots from Wayne Mackintosh.

Other ACT-Monaro club championships have gone to Ian Hore for the eighth time at Quean-beyan, Steve Arnaudon at Federal, Marty Turner at Yass, Vic Guthrie at Fairbaim, Scott Davis at Belconnen and Stephen Harrison at Braidwood. Kay Garret, of Tuggerah Lakes, won the Brisbane Waters DGA championship. Bega's Max Jones won the inaugural Candelo-Kameruka Open. With two rounds to go Leonay's Ray Dukes appears certain to win the Nepean DGA Player-of-the-Year award. He has an average of 72.6 and leads from club-mate Charlie Xuerub, who has 74.1 Camden's Todd Davis leads the junior section.

The Nepean team to play in the BINS tournament at The Grange and Port Kembla on December 8-9 is Dukes (captain), Xuerub, Robert Blackman and Tony Jay (Richmond), Noel Woods (Anthill Park), John Hopper (Windsor), David Burston (Leonay) and John Mansfield (Wallacia). Nepean meet Illawarra, Blue Mountains and ACT-Monaro in the annual event LONDON, Tuesday: England manager Bobby Robson has dampened Australia's World Cup hopes by rating Israel a better tactical side than the Socceroos. Robson made his comment after watching Israel draw 1-1 with Romania in Tel Aviv. "Israel has some good strikers and midfield players and their technique is better than Australia's," he said. "The Australians are strong and big and handle high balls well but their tactics are not as good." Romania and England are in the same qualifying group for the World Cup and Robson made the journey to Tel Aviv to see his opposition in action.

The Israelis had a number of chances against Romania and were well organised in the mid-field but lack of experience, especially in finishing moves, cost them a possible win. Israel have been included in the Oceania group for the World Cup and will battle Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan, with the winner playing the runner-up from Europe group seven for a place in the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico. Israeli officials have already watched New Zealand during their tour of England last month and were present when Australia played Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. They have also kept check on Australia's performances in subse- quent matches and will prepare a full report on the Socceroos' next clash, with Arsenal. Meanwhile, the Socceroos have quickly recovered their spirits after the depressing performance against Aston Villa on Sunday.

The team had a light training run yesterday with all players involved and have another easy session arranged for today. "Everyone is entitled to one bad performance on a tour," coach Frank Arok said. "But we can't afford another game like our 2-0 loss to Aston Villa. Arsenal will be just as difficult." Arsenal share second place with Tottenham and Manchester United in the English first division, three points behind leaders Everton, but are placed fourth on goal differences. The club had a chance to become joint leaders with Everton on Sunday but lost 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday.

From Page 40 Certainly Hughes believes he did not have sufficient loyalty in many quarters, the dressing-room included, although over the past year he was as close as he would ever get to having the total respect and unconditional support of his men. In the end, it is problematical whether he still had as much support with the selectors, Lawrie Sawle, Greg Chappell and Rick McCosker, as he had among the 14 board representatives. Certainly there had been some posturing behind the scenes in Brisbane during the second Test which compelled one to speculate whether Hughes would have been appointed again for the Centenary Test in Adelaide.

Or could it be that selectors and the delegates to the board were in conflict on the matter? Whatever the politics and intrigue, Hughes must now be replaced. And the selectors, and the board which makes the appointment must now very carefully determine a proper course of action and adhere to it. Should they look to a short-term incumbent, or should they look to incorporating the 1985 tour of England in their plans? It is such a disruptive time in Australian cricket that they may be sorely tempted just to do some shoring up. It is imperative, however, that Hughes's successor can lead from the front and inspire a revival. The country's sporting followers do not necessarily expect victory, but they do want to identify with a robust proud and competitive team.

And the inspiration can only come from within. It is as simple as that Whether there is anyone better qualified than Hughes remains to be seen. The selectors, too, must now decide whether Hughes should be retained as a batsman. Despite his serious lack of success in the past seven Tests against the West Indies he has not reached 40 in his past 14 innings in seven Tests it would be outrageous if he were discarded. If nothing else, the selectors must give Hughes the chance to show that he is still a world-class batsman when he does not have the pressures of captaincy.

And, no doubt, the Australian players earnestly hope their new captain will be as willing and as able as was Hughes to look after their welfare generally and financial terms and conditions in particular. History will show that in the latter period of Hughes's time as captain, the Australian cricket team made some important advances despite heavy and repeated failures against the West Indies. Meanwhile, ACB chiefs have received a complaint from the West Indies management about the behaviour of Geoff Lawson in the dying stages of the second Test on Monday. Lawson and West Indian opening batsman' Desmond Haynes clashed bitterly when the West Indians were just five runs short of an eight-wicket victory which gave them a 2-0 lead in the series. Haynes made a two-fingered gesture and exchanged words with Lawson when the West Indian lost his wicket West Indies captain Clive Lloyd criticised both players and said he was disgusted by the incident West Indies manager Wes Hall told ACB chairman Mr Fred Bennett after the game that he expected the board to investigate Lawson's behaviour.

The West Indians do not share Hughes's view that Lawson was blameless. Last night Hall said that he had severely reprimanded Haynes. A more severe penalty was not required because of Haynes's excellent record of behaviour throughout his 47-Test career. Shepherd (WA) 1.75m Cum-mings (Vic) Forrest (Vic).

Murray showed the skills he developed in 12-metre sailing at Newport, Rhode Island last year and sailed a brilliant race in the boisterous offshore conditions to outsail the huge fleet of 64 craft Second place went to the current E-22 world champion Dave Curtis, of the US, with third place going to the Lake Macquarie's Bob Schroder. SQUASH: World champion Jahangir Khan, of Pakistan, beat unhappy second-seed, Australia's Chris Dittmar in a noisy final of the Pakistan Open in Karachi yesterday.

Jahangir won 2-9 10-8 9-1 9-2 but Dittmar was clearly unsettled by the noise from the partisan crowd. At one stage Dittmar shouted "shut up" at the crowd and the referee also intervened with an appeal for calm. ASHLAR: 4B: Poynton (25) Grayson (Penrith 14) 48. Scr: Gear A Fletcher 40.
