Equals discus mark UPI Sweden's Rickey Bruch acknowledges cheers after equalling the world discus record with his first throw in an international track and field meet in Stockholm Wednesday. His throw of 68.40 meters (224 feet, 5 inches) tied the mark set four years ago by America's Jay Silvester. Fischer vs. Spassky Match may begin Sunday REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI) --The president of the World Chess Federation (FIDE) said today the much-postponed match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky may finally get under way Sunday. Dr.

Max Euwe, president of FIDE, said "The match will start on Sunday or at the latest Tuesday." He said he felt the major outstanding differences had been settled at a meeting between FIDE, the Icelandic organizers and Spassky's advisers early today. But Lothar Schmid, FIDE referee for the match, wasn't so optimistic. "This is if everything goes according to plan," he said. "Things can still go wrong." Fischer, a 29-year-old' chess genius from Brooklyn, is challenging Spassky, a Russian, for the world championship Spassky now holds. The match originally was to have started last Sunday but Fischer failed to show up in time, touching off a furor.

Schmid said the draw of lots to decide who is to play white in the first of the 24 games in the $250.000 match will be held tonight (4 p.m. EOT). Euwe said a new meeting, also involving Fischer's advisers, will be held today. He said he felt the Soviet demand for a penalty for the American challenger for showing up late for the start of the match "might be settled later" at the FIDE congress in Skopje, Yugoslavia. But Schmid said the Soviet demand that Fischer forfeit the first game--and a crucial point in the battle for the world title --was still not completely solved.

One other point to be settled was Spassky's demand for a signed apology from Fischer. No such document has yet been presented to the Russian world champion but Euwe said he was satisfied that it would be forthcoming. Fischer presented an apology of sorts Wednesday when he broke his silence with a statement regretting the delay of the match. Fischer said it was not Spassky's fault that the match had been delayed and said he "respected grandmaster Spassky as a player and man." Russian officials said the statement was expected to satisfy Spassky if delivered to him with Fischer's signature attached. Euwe already fulfilled two other Soviet demands Wednesday night when he issued a condemnation of Fischer's behavior in failing to turn up in time and also admitted that he himself had violated FIDE rules by granting a postponement of the first match.

Baker named GM at Myrtle MYRTLE BEACH. S. C. (UPI) Veteran race car driver Buck Baker, one of the original members of the Grand National Division of NASCAR, has been named general manager of the Myrtle Beach Speedway. Nick Lucas, co-owner of the half mile paved oval track along with Baker, said Wednesday Baker would assume his duties immediately.

"I feel that after 25 years of driving in various types of competition and with his knowledge of the sport, Buck Baker should establish Myrtle Beach Speedway as one of the top short tracks in the country," Lucas said. Baker competed in the first Southern 500 race at Darlington and has won the event three times. He was also Grand National champion twice. For the past four years he had concentrated his efforts in the grand Real Estate LOANS American Division and won eight events in that period. He has been a regular on the newly- formed Grand National East circuit this season and is currently in third place in point standings.

(UPI)--Jim Ryun, Mark Winzenried and Tom Von Ruden, shut out in the 800-meter run, start what they hope is a comeback in the meter run tonight as the U.S.

Olympic Track and Field Trials head into the home stretch after a welcome day off. Ryun wound up fourth in the 800, won by Dave Wottle in world record equalling time, while Winzenrief and Von Ruden never were in the chase for the three Olympic berths. Now, all three have to go through the painful trials route starting tonight and will have to finish in the top four in the various heats of the 1,500 to advance to Friday's semifinals and eventually the final on Saturday. Also, standing in Ryun.Winzenried and Von Ruden's way once again will be Wottle, the slim gunner from Bowling Gresn who amazed everyone, including himself, by taking the 800 last week in 1:44:3. Also coming back in the 1,500 is Ken Swenson, who was third in the 800.

Steve Prefontaine, darling of the local fans, and world record holder Rod Milburn make their first appearances of the trials on tonight's program, Prefontaine heading an 11 a.m. field in one section of the 5,000 and Greg Fredericks, the NCAA champ, heading a 10-man second section. The first six in each heat advance to the final Sunday. Trials in the 110-meter high hurdles and the 400-meter dash complete the program, with Milburn going in the hurdles and Lee Evans, John Smith, Wayne Collett and Vince Mathews in the 400. There are five heats in the hurdles and six in the 400.

Other better known stars in the hurdles include 1968 Olympians Willie Davenport and Leon Coleman, Erv Hall, Tom Hill and Paul Gibson plus a whole new flock of stars. In the 400, old warhorse Evans seems as strong as ever and is a solid candidate to be among the first three when the competition ends on Sunday. The other solid picks are world record holder Smith and Collett with Mathews given a good chance if one of the so-called top three falters. Thus far, after a week of continued competition, 36 athletes have nailed down Olympic berths with 32 more spots to be decided before it's all over. Thirty of those places will come from 10 remaining events and the other two may go to a sprinter and a 400 man to complete the 400 and 1,600 meter relay teams.

According to their new car manuals, every model listed above was designed to operate on a 91 octane gasoline. Furthermore, most of the manuals recommend a low lead or no lead gasoline. Today, several companies sell a gasoline that meets those requirements. But of all the major companies, only Gulf has one that costs less than their regular.

It's called Gulftane low lead. At 91 octane, it's just right for most 1972 models as well as many 1971 and older models that we didn't have space enough to And it's got the kind of additive package you'd expect from a major brand such as Gulf. So check your manual. And try a tankful of Gulftane. The money you save can go towards next month's car payment.

Because atmospheric factors and an engine's condition affect its performance, there is no way to guarantee that any single car will give knock-free performance on a particular gasoline.To find out if your car will run on Gulftane, try a tankful and see..
