All bills are payable in advance no credit, no checks, no refunds if you take the extended-stay rate and early elimination terminates your visit. Jay Silvester, the world record holder in the discus, slammed his huge right hand on a newspaper vending machine at Bean Hall one day last week and said to a group of fellow competitors, in emotional tones; "What are you supposed to sacrifice to make the Olympic team? European countries are blatantly paying their athletes, and our organization won't pay our expenses to the national meet. "They're using amateur athletes. They collect $250,000 in ticket sales here, and we're paying $15 a day to fill the seats for them. If that's justice, I'm.

Signs of another major money scandal in track and field have appeared at the current U.S.

Olympic Trials here. The latest charge comes from an American athlete. Gene White, a world-class high jumper who contends that a representative from a West German shoe concern was prepared to offer him money if he wore the company's shoes in the American trials here and again at Munich if he qualified for the Olympics. White outlined details of the alleged bribe attempt in a letter to members of the men's track and field committee of the U.S. Olympic committee.

American officials have refused to comment on the charge although Bob Giegengack, the chairman, acknowledged that "we're gathering facts" on the case. W'hite's typewritten letter, a carbon of which he gave to The New York Times, was dated June 30. The alleged bribe attempt, according to White, took place on June 28 and involved a representative of a large West German manufacturer of athletic shoes and equipment. "His name, as I recall, was Mr. Brinks," White wrote.

"Mr. Brinks took me into the room and talked to me about his company's equipment and the possibility of wearing their shoes. Then he said that if he could do me any favors, for me to come to him. "Next he said that something can be worked out in terms of money if I wore the shoes at the Olympic Trials, and if I made the U.S. Olympic team and wore the shoes in Munich also." Representative denies charge Hans Brinks, the company representative charged with the attempted bribe, denied White's allegation.

"The word, money, was never mentioned in our talks," said Brinks, who was supported by the company's American representative, Mike Larrabee, the 1964 Olympic 400-meter champion. "I would be foolish to talk to him about money. We are not interested in paying money to any athletes." Wtiite disagreed and said that Brinks also had threatened him. "After he found out that I had reported it," White related today, "he came up to me and said, 'what would you do if I filed a complaint against you saying you took I said, 'You can't do that because I haven't taken any Brinks termed this exchange "ridiculous."

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer yesterday was given a Tuesday noon deadline to appear for the World Chess Championship or forfeit his chance for the title. The ultimatum, announced by Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, meant a two-day postponement of Fischer's encounter with world champion Boris Spassky of Russia.

The match was to have started yesterday (1 p.m. EDT). Euwe said a friend of the American challenger was leaving for New York "to talk with him." "He will try to convince him to appear. I can't say who it is," he added. Fischer refused to play the match after officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation balked at his last-minute demands for more money, in addition to a record purse already assured by contract.

Fischer and Spassky were to have a guaranteed share of $125,000 the winner taking five-eighths plus 30 per cent of income from the sale of film and television rights. This alone was 10 times greater than any prize money ever paid to a chess player. Fischer wants an additional 30 per cent of the gate receipts. Faced with a decision of disqualifying Fischer immediately or granting reprieve, Euwe chose the path he said would best protect the host organization. Fischer's representatives here had asked for a postponement on the basis of illness.

They said the American was suffering fatigue.

Ind. A Madison Regatta without a Miss Madison? It's unthinkable, but a reality, unfortunately, since the hydroplane was severely damaged at Detroit a little over a week ago. Now comes the real kicker.

Madison could have had a representative in the big event of its 25th regatta the World Championship race Tuesday. The offers flowed freely after the mishap in qualifications for the Gold Cup on the rough Detroit River. Bernie Little, owner of Miss Rud-weiser, was willing to let Madison officials launch his backup boat, the Bud-weiser Malt Liquor, under their banner. Owensboro's Jim McCormick, a former Miss driver, said he would loan the Southern Indiana community his other Miss Timcx, the 8. Arizonan Bob Fendler offered the services of a boat he formerly campaigned, the Wayfarer's Club Lady.

"You can run the Miss Miami as the Miss Madison," said owner Lou Nuta Jr. And finally, yesterday it was revealed that the second member of the At-last Van Lines racing team, the Atlas II, was put forth as a possible substitute. But Miss Madison officials said, "Thanks, but no" to all of the thoughtful gestures. "The crew voted specifically that they didn't want to race any other boat as long as our boat is repairable (and it is. but it will cost about said Mike Hanson, treasurer of the Miss Madison board.

Typical of confusion surrounding preparations for the match, the federation doctor, Ulfar Thordarson, left for his country house early yesterday morning. The Russian side reluctantly accepted Euwe's decision. Spassky was asked what he thought of the situation and the 35-year-old champion replied: "I came to play." At a news conference where he announced the postponement, Euwe said: "I think there will be no play at all.

That is my personal opinion." Euwe had said earlier that cancelation would be "a great loss in many respects for the Icelandic organizers, who have great investment at stake, and for the game of chess itself." Fred Cramer, one of several Americans here claiming to -speak for Fischer, claimed two telegrams supporting Fischer's claim of illness had been lost. He said one was from his physician, the other from the U.S. Chess Federation. Ba-dst-own. County, Ky.

Tony Steinhardt, manager of the Miss Madison racing team, pointed out: "For one thing, our driver (Charlie Dunn) is not physically capable of driving right now. And we felt if we dio run a replacement boat, we wanted our own guy driving. What it's all about "Also, there was the fact that the other boats would be a considerable adjustment for us because they use a different kind of equipment than we're used to working with." Then Steinhardt touched on the essence of the situation. "You could have any boat running with the Miss Madison name on it but everybody would know it really wasn't the Miss Madison." "That's what it's all about," said another Miss Madison official, having your OWN boat." And so for the first time in 12 years, won't have a representative in its regatta. As for the real Miss Madison, Steinhardt says "there's an outside chance the boat may be repaired in time for the Seattle race (Aug.

6). "If it is. we'll have to examine our financial situation. It costs a couple of grand to make that tiip and right now we're operating a little in the red." "It could be we'll just decide to concentrate our efforts toward next season," said treasurer Hanson. Meantime.

Dunn is recuperating from his bout with the Detroit River. "He doesn't have the first cut on him." Steinhardt noted of the rookie driver, "but he has all kinds of strains and pulled muscles, and his legs are swollen Staff Phot by Dav.d Sutherland i where he hit the dash coming out of the boat (which eventually sunk). "This is all a part of racing." the Miss manager added. "You lose a boat and you have to suffer. Fortunately, though, our driver wasn't hurt that badly and the boat is repairable." Several members of the Miss Madison crew, incidentally, will work with the Miss Miami team in the World Championship race.

"We're going to crew it and loan them an engine or two also," Steinhardt said. Yesterday's opening qualifications were canceled at about 3 p.m. because of drift and debris scattered over the 2 12-mile course. Another qualifying session is scheduled today, beginning at 10 a.m. (EST) and continuing until dark.

The fastest qualifier will get $500. with S300 going to the second boat and $200 to the third. Tuesday's race program, consisting of five 15-mile heals, gets under way at noon.
