Both had outstanding games in the Kangaroos' 33-7 win over Wakefield Trinity yesterday. Cabochon up 81b for sprints at V.R.C.

carnival From ROY ABBOTT MELBOURNE, Sunday. V.R.C. handicapper Mr Kevin Ryan today penalised Epsom winner Cabochon 81b for the Craven A Stakes and the George Adams Handicap. SURPRISE SAILING WINNER Bill Miller, at the helm of Donnelly, was a surprise winner in the 18ft. Sailing League's race on the Harbour yesterday.

Sailed in a strong southeast breeze, it was one of the fastest races this season. Donnelly was 15 seconds in front at the Beashel buoy and was never headed for the remainder of the race. TRICKY BREEZE Approximately 40 seconds in the lead 300 yards from home. Miller had his crew set a small extra when he found a hole in the wind. This was enough to hold off San Jose and win by 41 seconds with scratch boat Daily Telegraph 43 seconds back in third place.

Some skippers misjudged the buoys in the tricky breeze. San Jose threw awav anv chance of winning the race with a tacking error at the Explosive buoy which cost 20 seconds. In the absence of Ken Beashel, Rod Zemanek brought Daily Telegraph from scratch to finish third and record fastest time of the day. Caravilla and Australia had gear trouble. DASH IT ALL ERIC! From ALAN CLARKSON ILKLEY, Sunday.

Kangaroo five-eighth Tony Branson met England's controversial referee Eric Clay for the first time yes terday and won't forget it. Early in the match at Wakefield, Branson, in an explosive outburst, called out: "That half-back hasn't retired behind the pack." Clay, in his best sergeant- major style, immediately! whistled play to a halt and thundered at Branson: "If anyone is going to tell the halt-back to retire then I'll do it." For all that, Clay didn't seem such a ferocious figure. In fact he was possibly the best referee the Kangaroos have encountered in their nine matches. In his black garb and long white socks he looked like a rather portly gentleman out for a stroll. Yet the histrionics were there and he brooked no argument.

ERIC CLAY mi I -niiiiiii PATTERSON OUT OF BOXING ELIMINATION Neither has previously played in a lest. Australia's team to meet England at White City on rriday nignt will be nounced later tonight. Unlike! the first Test, when the team was rather "cut and dried," the selectors this time have an in finitely more complicated puzzle to unravel. This is due in the main to the injuries of captain coach Reg Gasnier and vice-captain Johnny Raper. At least 18 players have shown recent form that should boost their Test selection claims.

STRONG CHANCE The team 1 would pick for the second lest would be: Johns: Kins, Langlands, Branson, McDonald; Glee-son, Smith; Cootc, Ras-mussen, Lynch, P. Gallagher, Kelly and N. Gal lagher. Add to this the names of Denis Manteit, Johnny Greaves. Ken Irvine, John Saltier and Elwyn Walters, who are ail playing well, and it is easy to sympa thise with the selectors in their task.

Problem spots are five- eighth, a centre partner for TONY BRANSON runners, has not changed his views. "Athletes have got to be taught how to compete in altitude conditions, and I still mainlain that four weeks is the minimum period for acclimatisation," he said. Competitors are allowed to train in Mexico for only one month in the three-month period before the Games next year, under the rules ot the International Olympic Committee. A.A.P.-Reuter "Si The penalties increase Cabochon's weight to 8-10 in both races, the mam sprint events at the V.R.C. 's spring carnival.

Mr Ryan also rehandi- capped Foresight, winner of the Waratah Handicap. He penalised Foresight lb to ts-i in the craven A Stakes and 61b to 8-4 in the George Adams Handicap. ine Craven A Stakes will be run down the straight six furlongs at Flemington next Saturday and the George Adams Handicap, over mile, the following Saturday. Mr Ryan decided not to penalise Prince Camillo for the Melbourne Cup, after his surprise win in yester days Moonee valley Gold Cup. Prince Camillo yesterday carried 7-10, but goes up 41b to 8-0 in the big two-miler on luesday week.

CUP TIP There is no doubt that Mr Ryan considered this rise when he decided not to penalise Prince Camillo. the Moonee Vallev Cup nas not been a very good guide to prospects for the big race. Only one winner in tile past 25 years has gone on to win the Melbourne Cud. ana mat was wodalla, in 1953. Mr Ryan hai given a Melbourne Cup tip for the favourite Red Handed in his weights for next Saturday's Hotnam Handicap at Flemington.

He has given Red Handed American golfer Jack Nicklaus will not play in the S8.000 Dunlop International tournament, beginning at Royal Canberra on Thursday. Nicklaus rang the sponsors of the tournament, Dunlop Australia today to say his wife had undergone an emergency operation. He regretted that he would not be able to come to Australia. In Las Vegas on Satur day, Nicklaus shot a final round 71 for a brilliant 14-under-par 270 total to win the $89,286 Sahara tourna ment. It was the third time Nicklaus had won the event, which this year carried a first prize of S17.857.

The runner-up, Steve Spray, also shot a par 71 yesterday for a 13-under-par total ot 21. The win was Nicklaus' fifth of the year and made him the leading money-winner of the year with a total of SI 68.749. Nicklaus' rounds on the 7.069-yard Paradise Valley Country Club course were 68, 69. 62. 71.

Bruce Crampton. of Australia, carded 69, 72, 71, 70 for a 282 total and a prize of $892.86. (A.A.P.-Reuter) JACK NICKLAUS like his true form, took an exciting fourth set and romped through the fifth to collect first prize of $2,500. Hockey success VANCOUVER, Sunday. The Australian hockey team beat the British Columbia team 5-2 here yesterday.

Rhodes now 90 LONDON, Sunday. Wil-frcd Rhodes, the English and Yorkshire cricketer who took more wickets than any other player in the history of the game, celebrates his 90th birthday today. Rhodes, who has been blind for several years, lives with relatives at Bournemouth and still visits matches where play is dercrihed to him by friends. During his career from 1898 to 1930, Rhodes took 4,187 wickets with his slow left-hand bowl-ling. He is the only man to pass a career aggregate of 4.000 wickets.

(A.A.P.-Reuter) All Blacks win LONDON. Sunday. The New Zealand All Blacks Rugby Union team yesterday gained the second win of their British tour by beating Midlands and Home Counties 15-3 at Leicester. LONDON, Sunday. The top jockeys were unsuccessful in yesterday's racing and Britain's Lester Pippott still led the jockeys' championship with 115 wins.

Australian Ron Hutchinson was next with 111, and Ihen came fellow-Australian Scobic Brcaslcy on 108. (A.A.P.-Rcuicr) Graeme Langlands, the right wing and possibly one prop position. Branson, with another fine game last night which he set up three of his team's seven tries, has to be a strong chance. Whether the selectors can tip Test stalwart Johnny Gleesor out of the five-ciphth spot is highly debatable. Glceson was one of Australia's best players in the first Test.

There will be moves for his selection either as a five-eighth or centre. I would play Branson in the centre. He weighs about I4st and his neat footwork, quick acceleration and solid defence make him an ideal centre partner for Langlands. Branson plays all his club football in the centre position and actually prefers it to his representative spot of five-ei: ji. BULLDOZING Johnny Greaves and John McDonald also have to be considered for the centre position.

Greaves has had two ex cellent games in succession In yesterday's clash he played with a lot of dash and fire. He is robust and could gam the selection in ar effort to counter the bull dozing runs of England's Men t-ox. McDonald is easily the sharpest attacking centre in the' team. He was the one player in the second half of the first Test to nut some real thrust into the Australian backhne. LATE TRY There will also be strong move to have Ken Irvine reinstated to the right wing.

Irvine showed a glimpse of his old speed yesterday when he streaKed through to score a try late in the match. But before that try Irvine had been unable to make progress against a rather brittle defence. Les Hanigan on the left wing showed he is becoming accustomed to the heavier grounds with one speedy try and another disallowed following another controversial offside de cision. Langlands showed a grand return to form. He has not been playing well under the handicap of an injured rib cartilage but yesterday he threw off this trouble and had his best game of the tour.

The Australian forwards generally showed a heartening lift in form, especially around the rucks.

T-vft tfTftfari ntftf I ITfc ALL P1GHTT BUT Nf A young Filipino karate expert will meet Aus tralian bantamweight boxer Rocky Gattel lari at Sydney Stadium tonight.

He is Sulfrcdo Basco, pic lured, the third-rated bantamweight in the Philippines, who claims never to have been put on the canvas. Basco, 21, looks every inch 9 lighter.

Basco suffered the band In juries breaking thick pieces of wood when prac-tising karate. During two rounds with state amateur lightweight champion Warren Skuse yesterday, Basco revealed a smart left tub. He hooked quickly off the jab and threw a solid right hand. GOOD RECORD He has had 30 professional fights, losing five on points and drawing three. Ray Swanwick, who is looking after the Filipino, said Basco might not be able to weigh less than 8-7 for tonight's fight.

Gattcllari, who stands inch shorter than Basco and whose reach Is two inches shorter, has been training for the fight on the understanding the limit will be 8-6, give or lake a pound. "He'll want to be on the weight or there'll be problems," Gatlcllari's man. ager, Mr Vic Fiorclli, said last night "If he's a karate expert, we'll want Vic Patrick watching for any too."

open game, disputing every move with fierce tackles that defied the accepted doctrines ot selt-preservalion. It was by far the best and most exciting exhibition of Soccer seen in Victoria since Manchester United played here in June. Melbourne inside-right. Attila Abonyi, stood out in this star-studded match by scoring three ot his side lour goals. With the scores 3-all at 90 minutes, 20 minutes extra time was ordered and Melbourne scored the win ning goal 15 minutes before the end.

A shot from 30 yards by Bob Connelly led to Mel bourne's first goal after 19 minutes. OWN GOAL It hit the crossbar and Abonyi dashed in to net the rebound. Five minutes later, a long centre into the goal area by Apia full-back Stan Ackerley was headed goal-wards by Archie Blue. Melbourne halt-back tan Shanks attempted to intercept the dangerous shot, but headed the ball into his own net. At 53 minutes, Apia de fenders failed to clear a centre by Melbourne left-winger Col Myers, Abonyi "sharked" the ball, steadied, and scored again.

Fifteen minutes later. Ackerley's long throw-in reached the goal area and was headed away by Melbourne defender Alistair Scott. It went to Johnny Giaco- metti, who equalised with a blistering shot from 15 yards. RALLY HELD Melbourne led again five minutes later when right- winger Peter Kurta, hotly opposed bv Filippo Bottah co, squared the ball across: the penally area to be met and netted by Frank StofTels. But Apia equalised vet again when Ernie Campbell's; long cross was headed by Pat Hughes to John Watkiss.

whose sizzling shot from 25 yards tound the net. Abonyi scored the win ning goal five minutes into extra time, and Melbourne held off Apia's finishing rally to the end.

Moores other mounts for the stable on Saturday will be Roman Consul (Vic toria Derby), Prince Grant; (L. K.

Mel bchumachcr, who was suspended last Friday, has ridden Del Charro in eight of his 10 starts since he came from New Zealand early this year.

Georce Mulley claimed that Del Charro was unlucky when he rode the gelding into second place behind General Command in The Metropolitan Handicap (lm 50 at Randwick on October 2.

Rod! No WinilPrs! Laver last night beat Kenf MEXICO CITY, Sunday. Little American swimmer Debbie Meyer seems to have the answer to the problem of Mexico City's altitude for Olympic Games competitors. The triple world record-holder has not allowed all the scientific theories and discussions to upset her peace of mind.

Her attitude Is school-girlishly simple: "Just forget it and go flat out to win." She made her point in the prc-Olympics by winning two gold medals, including the 800 metres final by almost the length of the pool. However, there is still a sharp difference of opinion between medical observers and between competitors on the effects of the altitude on performances in competition here. IN MIND The medical view seems to suggest that it's in the mind, not in the air. After a meeting this week of 27 doctors from countries represented in the pre-Olympics, it was stated: "Mexico City's altitude does not have any effect on the sports events, and no more than one or two weeks are required for acclimatisation." But Dr Griffith Pugh. who conducted experiments here two years ago on behalf of the British Olympic Association and is here again with two distance AIR HAWK AND Rosewall.
