CHRIS TOWART made worthwhile his withdrawal from the Canterbury B rugby league team when he bolted home with the KB Mobile 600, the 600 m race .from behind the mobile barrier at the Addington trotting meeting on Saturday evening. He won by oodles of human lengths from Garron Starr (Eastern Suburbs), thus atoning for the reversal of results when the club’s premier teams met the same afternoon. But Starr was only two lengths clear of Pomare Connell (Woolston) and Allan Whitley (Papanui), Connell winning the non-existent bronze medal with a desperate lunge at the line. The time was Imin 28.65, and one of the best performances came frc/m the fifth place-getter, Neil Sinclair (Halswell), who passed six runners in the straight, among them the, fancied Robert Aui'matagi (Sydenham) and Harold Quinn (Marist-Western Suburbs). BEV LEE. the ladies' captain at the Waitikiri Golf Club, celebrated the'twenty-second anniversary of her first hole-in-one by repeating the feat-at the identical hole .on her home course last week. Her two aces were both achieved at the twelfth holel Mrs Lee’is well known to tennis enthusiasts and television viewers as the net cord umpire at Davis Cup matches. A WOMAN’S TOUCH had a magical effect on a stricken Lincoln College rugby player in the match against MerivalePapanui at the college fields on Saturday. Chris Connolly hurl his right leg in a tackle, dud was unable to rise from the ground. As he lay their writhing; he was attended by Mrs Jill Pope, the physiotherapist for Merivale-Papanui, and within seconds he was running jauntily back to his place. “Cripes — that would have to be one Of the quickest recoveries we’ve seen,” quoth a spectator. THE MARIST Rugby Club's annual secondary schools seven-a-side tournament will be held at St Bede’s College on Sunday. The tournament gets more popular every year mid some 20 teams. representing at least 10 schools, will be in action this time. The prizes will be rugby equipment and for the first time, the C.R.F.U. has donated a tracksuit to be awarded to the “player of the tournament.’’ THE AMBERLEY Golf Club will have its annual Captains v. President's teams’ match tomorrow. It is a mixed event, played on unusual lines, and it may lead to some sullen silences in the clubhouse later. As with a Canadian foursome, each pair in a team will drive off. But instead of the two players choosing which ball to play next, the selection will be made by the opposing four. No wonder tomorrow's event is called a “bloodsome.” CORONET PEAK will take delivery of a new Kassbohrer snow-grooming machine at its ski-field in July. The new machine, capable of grooming the steepest slopes, will be bigger and more powerful than the two existing sno cats on the mountain — Thikols, affectionately known as “Roaring Meg” and “Gentle Annie.” It is also equipped with a rotortiller for cutting up icy snow.
