1 1 1 BRITAIN'S BEST LOOK POOR BY WORLD STANDARDS By JOHN PARSONS THE Lawn Tennis player rankings, with Buster Mottram naturally at the top lists, merely international status. For the second ranked Jarrett, is way down at the second ranked woman, year- in semi-retirement. Most disappointing of all been the form and comhas mitment to the game over the past year by Sue Barker especially as she topped the 1982 rankings. 91 That promotion came after her heartening finish to 1981, in which she seemed to be rediscovering both the ability and appetite which at one time made her fourth in the world. Yet instead of capitalising upon that exciting success in the Daihatsu Challenge at Brighton in Oct.

1981, when, among others. she defeated Tracy Austin, Barbara Potter and Mima Jausovec on the way to. the title, Miss Barker has since a given little indication of world-class form. Panel's decision The panel of British national women's team manager, Sue Mappin, referee Bea Seal and Winnie Wooldridge, who compiled the British ranking, list, according to the year Women's Tennis Association rankings, could only place her third. Her current world ranking is 58, which not only means Miss Barker has no chance of being seeded in major tournaments in the foreseeable future but she cannot even be guaranteed direct entry to many of them.

The despair of Miss Barker's year, in which she was unfit for the French championships and opted out of the United States Open, was best summed up at Wimbledon. Cliff Richard, her constant companion during the year, was among those on the Centre Court who saw her fade out disastrously to the American Sharon Walsh, 6-0, 6-4, in the first round. If it was a terrible year for Miss Barker and a frustrating one for Anne Hobbs, who remains in fourth place, congratulations are due to Miss Durie for the considerable progress she has Golf Respect is Player's aim in South African Open By ADRIAN FREDERICK in Cape Town GARY PLAYER will be attempting to win his 14th South African Open championship, starting at the Royal Cape course today against the background of his two worst performances on the Sunshine Circuit. Player finished 21st at Sun City, and he was 39th in the PGA championship last week, so he is no longer regarded as threat in South African tournaments. This he resents; it is a situation completely foreign to him.

The last time, the Open was played at Royal Cape, one of only four Royal" designated clubs in South Africa, Player was at the height of his career. LTA's 1983 rankings (1982 positions in brackets) MIEN 1-C, J. M. Jarrett Mottram (Derbys) (Surrey) 2-A. R.

Major crowns In 1965-the year he won the United States Open to become only the third player after Gene Sarazen and Ben Hogan to win golf's four major crowns-he became the first player ever to break 70 in each round of the South African Open.

His aggregate of 273 stood as tournament record for nine years until Bobby Cole's 272 at Royal Johannesburg in 1974. Significant changes to the Royal Cape course, including introduction of all-year bentgrass greens in a Mediterranean climate, have brought the Open back to Royal Cape. The course depends largely on the Cape south-easter wind. In calm conditions, Brian Barnes established a course record of 62 way back in 1970. Three-way tie Last year at Royal Johannesburg, Player, Warren Humphreys and John Bland tied in the regulation 72-hole Open with scores that equalled Cole's record of 272-Bland becoming the first player since Player to record four sub-70 rounds.

Amarnath made 120 as India reached 235 for three in reply to Pakistan's first innings total of 323, just over hours being lost because of bad light. Only seven balls were bowled before lunch because of mist, and play ended 50 minutes early when the visibility again deteriorated. Despite the gloom, Amarnath played with great assurance to complete his second hundred of the series. He batted a total of 282 minutes and struck 15 fours. His 190 third-wicket stand with Yashpal Sharma was an I Indian record against Pakistan, beating the 130 put on by Pankaj Roy Vijay Manjrekar in 1954-55.

Although she has still not quite managed to string together enough useful wins to make the next decisive step forward, she has developed a power-based game which, as Martina Navratilova, observed enough to at trouble Eastanyone on fast surfaces.

Two teenagers make the British senior women's list for the first time, Annabel Croft, 16, from Kent, and Amanda Brown, from Norwich. Miss Brown's most notable achievement during 1982. was her victory in the final of the Junior Girls singles at the Australian Open. It made her the first British player to win a junior title at any grand slam 1 event since Michele Tyler in Paris in 1976. The national team manager, Paul Hutchins, together with former Davis Cup players Mark Cox and Alan Mills, who is the new referee at Wimbledon this year, chose the British men's rankings, which are based not only the ATP rankings but also.

Davis Cup, King's Cup and WCT events. Undisputed No. 1 Mottram, 19th in the world, became joint No. 1 in Britain in 1976, became undis: puted number one two years later and has remained in that position ever since. In reaching the final of the Dutch Open at Hilversum.

last summer, losing to the long Balazs Taroczy, ion of Hungary, standing champion of that event, Mottram was only British player to reach the final of any major men's or women's tournament during 1982. Apart from Richard Lewis' drop from second to fifth place, which can be blamed to a large extent on a cartilage operation in March, and Jarrett's rise from seventh to second, there have been no particularly significant fluctuation. Stuart Bale, Tim Robson, Martin Guntrip and Nick Fulwood enter the list for the first time, but the fact that Britain has onlv one player in the world top 20 and the next three between 170-200, puts it 'into a sad perspective.

FARRAR ON TARGET FOR UCH By RUPERT CHERRY St Thomas' 3pts, Univ. Col. 9 UNIVERSITY College, who have never won the Hospitals' Cup, are through to the semi-finals. for the first time. since before the war.

They will meet either the Royal Free or St Mary's on Feb. 16. What is more, they have achieved it despite being unable to. take advantage of home draws in the first two rounds. They share their ground at Shenley, Hertfordshire, with Arsenal FC and play there on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

But the early rounds of the Hospitals' Cup are played on Tuesdays and Thursdays and those' are Arsenal's days at Shenley. So University College had to play away in the first round, beating. Middlesex 9-6 at Chislehurst. Yesterday, in their secondround match, they achieved another away victory over St Thomas' at Cobham. Penalty try They won by a goal-a converted penalty try--and a dropped goal against a penalty goal, but their superiority was even more definite than that score suggests.

Farrar, their fly-half, dropped a goal early on and later converted the penalty try awarded when St Thomas' collapsed a scrum almost on their own line. Farrar had scored all his side's points in the previous round. Brewer, St Thomas' full-back, converted the penalty goal. St -P. Brewer; M.

Coley (London), CLEVER CONDON OUSTS GUYS By VICTOR SWAIN Guys 6 pts The London 9 All the virtues as well as the shortcomings of Hospitals' Cup rugby were paraded in this second round encounter at Honor Oak yesterday as the London edged home by the narrowest margin. In a rousing game which the London won by two dropped goals and a penalty goal to two penalty goals, the commitment and heroic tackling of both sides were something to wonder at. The inevitable pite-ups with players hurling themselves into the fray with scant respect for life or limb. Amid all blood and thunder, the skills of Hugh Condon, the London stand-off were outstanding. After Lammiman had kicked a superb penalty from halfway, Condon dropped two clever goals and his huge line kicking repeatedly drove Guys back 50 vards.

This half-time lead proved crucial as the Guys forwards got on top. Their strong play set up the position from which full-back. Hackett kicked two penalty goals but their backs were not enough to breach a sturdy defence. Hackett; R. Docker, M.

Should he be selected for his country or the Lions, it will be a poor reflection on the state of the game." J.M. of Rumania, is the culmination of a long apprenticeship and the banishment of many disappointments.

He was refreshingly honest about his career yesterday. This season I realised that at 29 this could be my last chance. So I knuckled down and my attitude to the game, which used to put off some people who mattered, is improved. My concentration is better and I feel fitter. I feel sorry for Maurice, of course--and for Jim Syddall, who khas been ruled out after being sent off.

But now it's my chance and I aim to take it. I'll be satisfied if I can scrummage well, bold my own at the line-out and do my bit in the loose." In analysing England's defeat at Twickenham, Rogers declared that too many handling mistakes had been made, that tactically the team was wrong and that too many attacks had been launched from too far out. No platform had been established inside the French 22. Some players, famous names you and we, the selectors, would write down straightaway as first choices, cannot afford to have another poor game- -either from their point of view as England selectors or for the sake of the team," Rogers added. ENGLAND will ask the is International Board in.

March to consider more liberal regulations relating to amateurism. Detailed proposals are being drafted and have still to be put to the full committee of the Rugby Football Union, writes John Mason. Bob Weighill, the RFU secretary, 66 We are leaning to a more liberal attitude in these matters. But for my own particu and I stress that I speak individual I can't think? that any such legislation, if: agreed, could be retrospective. The "liberalisation" will not win universal approvals Nor can the lobby amateur re-instatement for retired players turned authors seriously expect to succeed.

But, plainly, there can be revision. of the rules concerning allowances and expenses. The continuing tion of rugby football, the vamping of stadiums and the huge sums the game attracts, especially in New Zealand, gnaws incessantly Fat the fringes of tas sport that dearly wants to stay as amateur as possible.

Chasing a victory target of 107, in the final session South Africa lost both openers with only 18 on the board, and three more wickets fell to some determined bowling. by the tourists. Moseley and Clarke displayed their quickest bowling of the tour and each was rewarded with an early success. Richards was caught at short-leg off a rising delivery and Cook steered the ball into the hands of first slip.

Confident appeal Kirsten and Pollock both looked uncomfortable and there was a confident appeal for a catch at the wicket from the first ball Pollock faced. Both played and missed frequently, especially against off-spinner Parry, who extracted a good deal of turn. Meanwhile, in Australia it was ban announced that the government on cricket rebels" from entering country would not ffect Australian citizens and those married to Australian citizens.

Longshot Golf in the Algarve Paul Hoad yesterday began 1983 as he means it to continue with a 69, four under par, in the first round of the Longshot PGA Pro-Am at Penina on the Algarve. Hoad's ambition in the coming season is to make the European Ryder Cup team.

Having finished 71st, 46th and 36th in the money list in his first three years as a professional, he will have to move up a gear to reach his goal. He firmly believes the ability is there, provided he is more positive in his attitude. The early successes of such rookies as Gordon Brand Jnr, Paul Way and Ronan Rafferty last year have jolted him into a more attacking approach. HOAD STARTS WITH 69 By MICHAEL WILLIAMS Perfect weather Controlled aggression certainly served Hoad well in perfect weather yesterday, though it was not until the inward half that he really got going. He came home in 34 with birdie fours at both the 10th and 11th and then an eagle three at the last, where a four-iron second shot finished only 5ft from the flag.

Another par five at the 17th, ought to have brought another birdie but he missed the short second putt. Roger Fidler and Malcolm Leeder were next best with 72s, Leeder owing more to his putter on greens that reminded one of England in high summer. 69- -P. Hoad. 72-R.
