The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday, Dec, 21. 1964 13 BELOW BILLOWING SAILS W.A. 1 Sm BRUNSWICK CHOSEN BY MOORE AS CUP MOUNT By ROY ABBOTT George Moore will ride Brunswick in the Summer Cup at Randwick on Saturday. Brilliant PERTH, Sunday. Western Australia had gained a lead of 31 with four wickets in hand at stumps today in their match against Queensland.

A magnificent display of controlled fast bowling by Graham McKenzie spearheaded Queensland's collapse for 137. BAD LAPSE Moore's decision resulted in bookmakers bringing Brunswick back to equal favouritism with Summer Fiesta. There had been rumours yesterday that Moore would ride topweight Summer Fiesta, on whom he won the December Handicap at Randwick last Saturday. "Better Suited" with Blue Era in the Vil Schemer, the most successful 18-footer of the season, winning yesterday's final world title test race on the Harbour.

Lost: One More Record Hurdler Lorraine Staples has written another chapter in her tale of records unrecognised. Wind assistance at the Sports Ground on Saturday cost her the interclub 80- metre hurdles record just as it robbtd Marilyn Black of a joint world record for the 100 sprint.

Miss Staples ran a time of 10.9s, 0. Is inside the record held bv Olympic hurdler Gloria Cooke. The wind assistance was too great and the record was disallowed. The freckle-faced Stale champion merely shrugged her shoulders and said, "Next tune." "It's nothing," she said. Mark Shared "When I was a junior 1 broke the record or equalled it seven times before could get it recognised.

"Either the wind was too strong or there were not enough watches to make it official." Miss Staples' time of 11.2s is still the junior record for 80 metres hurdles, although it is shared by Lesley Thompson, of Cumberland club. Miss Staples had a time of 0.8s as a junior, but this could not be recognised be cause of insufficient time keepers. The 20-vear-old Miss Staples' main problem at present is too few 80-metre hurdle races in the season and lack of stern competition in Svdnev. She trains each week over the hurdles with a junior sprinter, Lyn Rice, racing just ahead of her without hurdles. "Competing only once a fortnight over hurdles does n't give you a chance," Miss Staples said after her win on Saturday.

"I need a race every week to improve my times.

Heads The rumours were so strong that bookmakers had made Summer Fiesta favourite, displacing Brunswick, who was eased to the second line. Moore rode Brunswick when he finished fifth in the Vilhers Stakes dm) on Sat urday when a heavily-backed favourite at 6-4.

But from his country pro perly last night Moore confirmed that he would be on Brunswick in the Cup. He said he would return to the city on Wednesday to ride track work on Thurs day morning. 1 rainer Dick Kodcn last night said Brunswick had done "very well" since the Villiers. '1 think the mile and a half of the Summer Cup DES LAKE should suit him better than the mile of the Villiers," Roden said. "I thought he was 'a good thing' in the Villiers.

'That run probably blunted some of his Summer Fiesta, one of four horses that trainer Tom Smith has left in the Cup, has firmed 10 points since his win last Saturday.

Queensland, however, by taking three wickets in the last 20 minutes of play, have greatly improved their prospects of convening their first-innings deficit into an outright victory.

It was a costly lapse by the W.A. batsmen, just when the side appeared to have consolidated their position and were moving away to a commanding lead. Today was the first time first-class cricket had been played in Perth on a Sunday. Queensland, the first half of their innings wrecked by McKenzie and a 50 m.p.h. wind on the first day of the match yesterday, resumed today with their score at five wickets for 99.

McKenzie struck swiftly with the aid of wicket-keeper Gordon Becker to dismiss the energetic Wally Grout who made 33. When all-rounder Tom Veivers was smartly caught by John Inverarity off the bowling of Laurie Mayne for a stubborn 57, the end was in sight. W.A.'s start was almost as disastrous as Queensland's, All-out Attack Colin Harburn made an ill-judged swing at a short-pitched delivery from Peter Allan and mishit it high over the stumps where Gra ham Bizzell ran back to hold an excellent catch One wicket for no runs was converted to two for four when Inverarity moved into his wicket to play an in-swinger from Ross Duncan and was leg before wicket.

They succeeded, but it mer got an easterly slant and gained at least 40s on Toogara. Schemer kept the wind all the way on the next run and it was soon apparent that it would not be caught.

Mugle AUCKLAND, I They are not shown on the indicators at Rosehill, the other course controlled by the Sydney Turf Club.

On all Sydney tracks. flashing lights indicate when off-course investments have been added to the on-course pool. But by that time, most punters have left the betting ring and gone to the stands. So the odds shown on the tote cannot be relied upon and course punters are now deprived of a reliable guide to betting trends. Subordinated All this has happened since the introduction ot TAB.

Previously, course punters could almost rely upon the odds shown on the totalisa tor indicators, and the fig ures showing the pool investments. Now, punters have nothing to guide them concerning early betting odds. 1 Course betting now seems subordinated to the interests of off-course bettors, who pay nothing to the clubs by way of entrance fees. Totalisator officials claim they can do no better with the present machinery. With the concurrence of the racing clubs, they modified the machines to handle the intake of off-course in vestments, but not auto matically.

Sum Mentioned A sum of 500,000 has been mentioned as the cost of linking off-course and on-course betting automatically. The totalisator company gets nothing from the revenue of off-course betting. Any profits after off- course betting costs are expected to go to the racing clubs. The clubs' commitments are heavy, but some greater consideration should be given to their course cus tomers.

A preliminary survey has already established that many of our athletes are not eating the right type of foods. This week 200 athletes, including several Olympians, are being scientifically tested on their nutritional habits.

The tests are being supervised by experts of the sports medicine division of The Wakehurst Foundation They include Dr Brian Corrigan; a science graduate and physical educationist, Mr Alan Morton, and a nutritionist, Mr John Stephens. Mr Morton is a former Rugby Union Test winger. the athletes are itemising their food intake and vita min supplementation over a normal training period of seven days. 'More Thorough' The president of The Wakehurst Foundation, Mr E. R.

Troy, said yesterday that the survey was the first of its kind undertaken in Australia. He said he believed the present survey was more thorough than similar pro grams conducted overseas. Australia must turn to scientific research if it is to improve or even maintain its place in world sport." Mr Troy said. It is tor this reason that we have asked our athletes to co-operate in finding out whether their nutritional habits arc adequate. "The results of a pilot study have already indicated nutritional deficiencies in many of our sportsmen.

These deficiencies, slight as they may be, may mean the difference between win ning and losing in close competition. National Basis Mr Troy said the survey was being conducted on a national basis and included many athletes not in the champion class. He said that if the present survey confirmed the find ings of the earlier one, some revolutionary changes in training habits must follow. Results of the survey will be made known to all athletes and will be distri buted to all sports coaches 70 to Hit Off in Boys Golf A field of 70 hits off today in the Australian school boys golf title at the Beverley Park course. The tournament, for schoolboys under 16 years, will be played over 36 holes.

Those who break 80 in the first 18 holes will qualify for the final round. Par for the course is 68. Organisers expect the leading golfers to be about two over par. Since the advent of the TAB on December 2, the odds shown on the totalisators have had to be worked out manually. The amounts shown early on the investment indicator at Randwick on Saturday were not an automatic adjustment.

At times, the total investments shown on the win and place pools did not change, although selling windows were operating. Flashing Lights Totalisator and A.J.C. officials admitted this. From observation, the pool figures (which include on-course and off-course in vestments) remained stationary for at least 10 minutes while the odds of a number of runners, shown on an Test Forward For Sydney BRISBANE, Sunday.
