I EXHAUSTED AFTER II SORRY END TO GAMES GRUELLING FINISH MARATHON The Sydney Morning Heflrl, Aug, 9. 1954 9 LANDY TO MAKE ATTEMPT ON 2 MILES RECORD VANCOUVER, August 8 (A.A.P.). After his defeat by Roger Bannister in the Empire Games mile yesterday, Australian John Landy said he believed Bannister "might be about one yard faster than me under ideal conditions." Peters Collapses As Race Ends From OUR SPECIAL REPORTER and A.A.P. VANCOUVER, August 8. Never in modern times has a sporting crowd witnessed more sickening sight than that of plucky English champion, Jimmy Peters, trying to drag his pain-wracked frame to the winning line in yesterday's Empire Games marathon.

Peters, who was ultimately disqualified, reached what he believed to be the winning post 15 minutes ahead of the next competitor. SPECTATORS HORRIFIED If i JL Iff' I I finr' 1tmmmmmmmmmmmmmmU tt in aliH.i i lmmmmmmmm IIW itely do better over distances slightly longer than a mile. "I would like to try myself over longer distances and think 1 could set some records. "I will concentrate on the two miles before 1 give it away." Landy said he thought Bannister could cet his time down Bv this time Peters was health was being endangered with every step he tried to take. Roger Bannister being supported by English athletic officials at the end of the Empire Games mile.

Landy now intends attempting records at longer distances, mainly two miles. Landy clocked 3 minutes 59.6 seconds yesterday, eight tenths of a second more than Bannister. He was followed in by Canadian Rich Ferguson, 4 minutes 4.6 seconds and Vic Milligan, of Northern Ireland, minutes 5 seconds. New Zealander Murray Halberg, whom Landy thought might be harder to beat than Bannister, finished fifth in 4 minutes 7.2 seconds. He was extremely nervous before the start and this is believed to have upset him.

Landy one regret after his defeat was that he had had to make his own pace almost all the way. He said he nad been bop. ing Don MacMillan, Jim Bailev or Oeotf warren could have entered the final and at tended to the pace in the early stages. However, Bailey broKe foot in the half-mile event and the others failed to qualify for the final. here could be no doubting Bannister's greatness, but Landy was almost equally great in defeat.

Certainly the way he took wnat must nave been a bit ter disappointment was an object lesson for other athletes. Worst Fears A remarkable thing about the race was the way Landy accepted the inevitable as bannister brushed past him on the turn into the straight. Lanay said: After three and a half laps when Bannister was still on my heels, 1 was thinking all the time. when is it! When is itl When is the kick going to come." Asked why he had looked back, Landy said with a wry smile. "Just to confirm mv worst iears.

Landy said it had been M. Jackson In Great Run To End Career From OUR SPECIAL REPORTER AND A.A.P. VANCOUVER, August 8. Mar-jorie Jackson ended her athletic career yesterday in the Empire Games women's relay with her most phenomenal run ever. The scene, from the time Peters staggered groggily into the arena until he collapsed, unconscious and frothing at the mouth, was so deplorable that it was cut from the evening television re-screening.

A crowd of 35,000. includ ing the Duke of Edinburgh. watched, horrified, as Peters, his knees sagging wide apart, came down the bitumen ramp into tne arena. Twice he fell, the second time pushing himself forward to the bottom of the ramp with his hands while sitting on the ground. the broad jump and pole vaulting came to a halt as everyone looked on in shocked amazement at the man who would not admit defeat Distasteful Sight The crowd was spellbound as the little man he weighs scarcely nine stone rose pain fully to Bis teet and staggered trom side to side ot tne track.

He reeled forward a few vards. fell flat on bis back, then gradually raised himself only to pitch forward a few yards and sink back to the ground again. While this went on. ungiisn team members combined with Games officials to keep the official doctor from pulling Peters out ot tne race. The Englishmen yelled to Peters to go on, instead of doing the humane thing and putting him on a stretcner.

Another tew stumbling steps, reeling all over the track, and he was down once more. It was an unbelievable spec tacle. By then he was front of main covered stand and dir ectly in front of the Duke of bdmburgn, seated in a box iv rows back.

Eventually, after what seemed like hours, he dragged himself to his feet ten yards from the winning-post used for normal track -events. He held himself as straight as possible and kept on a fairly even keel until he crossed the line. There the English team trainer, Mickey Mayes, was waiting. He clasped peters in nis arms and neld mm untu stretcher arrived. for the last 110 yards.

'That was horrible," he added. 1 saw the writing on the wall and realised it, and it was no use to try to bluff Roger. When 1 looked over my shoulder and saw Roger clos ing in, 1 knew it was just a matter of time. My idea was to run as fast as I could, hoping to open up a big enough lead so Roger couldn't catch me." Discussing his future. Landy said: "1 think I would defin- ROSEWALL, HOAD IN FINALS SOUTH ORANGE (New Jersey), August 8 (A.A.P.).

Lewis Hoad and Ken Rosewall have reached the final round of the men's singles play in the Eastern grass-court tennis championships. This is the second succes sive year that the Australians have qualified for the hnal. Kosewall, the second-seeded foreign star, had the easier semi-final match when he beat fellow-countryman Rex Hart-wig. 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. Hoad, the top-seeded foreigner and titlebolder, played a little harder to beat America No.

I feel Bannister might be about one yard faster than me under ideal conditions," he said. Bannister said he thought Landy went too fast over the first two laps. I think that bv the time I was at the last corner 1 realised Landy was tiring.

"1 would ordinarily maxe my move on the stretch, not the bend. I deliberately gave my kick a little earlier. 1 noticed Landv look back. but he found me beside him. I was a little anxious though, when he got in front at one time by about 15 yards.

Goodwin plans to start former champion San Domenico and stablemate Bankbrook in the 3,000 Cameron Handicap. The Cameron Handicap (7f) first leg of the N.J.C.'s double will be run at Newcastle on August 28.

San Domenico, now a nine- year-old, has been given 8-4, 91b less than he had when he won the race last year. Stablemate Bankbrook, who won the 19S2 Cameron Han dicap carrying 8-10, has been given 8-3. Owner Pleased Mr. Goodwin is pleased with the weights, especially that of San Domenico, and he is keen to start him in the event. "Although San Domenico is now a nine-year-old would be cruel to turn him out into the paddocks," Mr (joodwin said.

"He lost his front teeth as a vounester. and would not be able to crop the grass if he was turned out into the paddocks. "But while he is in training he is given the best of food and a good, comfortable stable, and is not overraced or asked to do too much." N.J.C. haridicapper Mr. H.

Flynn gave Doncaster winner Karendi top weight of 9-8. Stablemates Impress Regoli each have 9-6. and EASY WIN IN SOCCER Gladesville trounced Banks-town, 8-1, in the State Premiership Soccer match at Gladesville Sports Ground yesterday. Outstanding player was Reg Marchant, the Gladesville centre-forward, who scored four goals. Gladesville played the more constructive football and was never in danger of defeat.

Its easy win came as a shock after it was beaten. 4-3, by Bankstown in the State Cup match on Saturday. Gladesville led 6-0 at half-time, mainly because of the brilliant work of the forwards. Gosper Thanks Helpers Empire Games quarter-mile champion Kevan Gosper says the people of his home town, Newcastle, share the credit for his victory on Saturday. Gosper won the 440 yards final in 47.2 seconds, one-tenth of a second slower than the Games record he set in a beat.

A former schoolboy champion, Gosper is now a student at Michigan University. Gosper has been in the United States for two years, studying an Arts course at Michigan State University. His father, Mr. B. L.

Gosper, of Hamilton, said last night: "Kevan expects to graduate in Arts at the Michigan University this year. "He will return home in January to become a schoolteacher." Mr. Gosper said: "Our home has been filled with visitors all day, and the phone has not stopped ringing. "We had the first phone call a minute after the time of the race was announced, and since then we have hardly been awav from the phone, Citizens of Newcastle sub-, scribed 200 to a fund to wards his exnenses. When Gosper was picked to represent Australia in the Games, citizens also subscribed to the Olympic Pool, to provide him with funds for his outfit and travelling costs from Michigan to Vancouver.

Saved Fares Gosper said in Vancouver yesterday the generosity of Newcastle citizens who had subscribed to a fund enabled him to compete at the Games, He and Sydney high-jumper uoug Stuart, also a stuaeni in the United States, drove a car from Michigan to Vancouver. They delivered the car to a Vancouver manufacturer and saved the cost of fares. Now 20 years of age, he hopes to gain selection in the Australian team at the 1956 Olvmoics. In the 440-yard final, Gos per wore a wide grin as ne strode over the line four yards clear of the field. "I couldn't help grinning, I felt so good about making it, Gosper said after the race.

NO TEAMWORK IN CYCLING VANCOUVER. Auoust 8. Australian cyclists ran fourth and fifth in the Em pire Games cycling road-race yesterday. The Australians' lack of teamwork probably cost Jim Nestor the title, which was won by Englishman Eric Thompson in record time. Nestor finished fourth and George Devine fifth in the event.

Nestor found his way blocked by team-mates when he straightened up for the sprint home, i 'Three jokers can't all try to win a race," Nestor said, as he dismounted after the race. Other Australian riders in the race were John O'Sullivan and John Laws. HAS CHANCE IN RULES St. George Australian Rules team earned a chance to enter the hnal four when it beat North Shore at Trumper Park yesterday. St.

Equally culpable were the local Games organisers, who made Peters and the other runners travel nearly a mile more than the stipulated course.

The marathon distance is 26 miles, 385 yards. As has been customary in these Games, rather than admit mistakes, the Games' officials have smothered them. The English and Australian teams both protested about the course, which between them they measured in six different cars. Trainer Mayes said he. other officials of the English team, Peters, and several Games' officials, measured the course in a car.

They found it to be twenty- seven and one-tenth miles. Games officials retorted that the car speedo was wrong. the speedo was checked over a measured mile and found to be accurate. Games men still refused to acknowledge the course wrong, and refused to alter it. In addition, the uames men told the Englishmen the wrong finishing line according to Mayes and the English coacn, Leslie irueiove.

When the disqualification was announced, the crowd hooted.
