July II, 1972 Daily Northwestern 24 I V- Fischer Rated as Favorite 7 chess experts assembled in Reykjavik showed the 29-year-old Fischer the favorite. But most of Iceland's 210,000 chess-mad citizens were behind Spassky. Only a few weeks ago the fans of Iceland were with the unpredictable American but he lost his popularity quickly when he demanded more money and failed to show up in time for the scheduled July 2 start of the match. While Fischer was in New in the hall where the match was to be played. Cramer said, "Fischer does not like the lighting, the board and the pieces, the location of the television cameras and some other minor details, including the thickness of the window drapes." The first of 24 games in the $250,000 world chess championship match was scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.

(12 noon CDT) two weeks of uncertainty and controversy. An unofficial poll among American challenger Bobby Fischer was the favorite of the experts in the "chess match of the century" today but Iceland's thousands of chess fans gave their almost undiluted backing to tie Soviet Union's Boris Spassky. Fischer stayed in seclusion but. Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation and one of Fischer's assistants, said "Bobby is go, go, go." Fischer expressed dissatifica-tion Monday with arrangements i 3 vjg ni i St i i If i York demanding more money, Spassky was walking the streets of Reykjavik patting children on the head, conversing with local chess players and piling up points in the prematch popularity contest.

The prize money was raised from the original $125,000 to $250,000 through a wealthy British banker named Jim Slater who came up with more cash to save the match. Fischer has a higher points rating on the international scale than Spassky. The 35-year-old Leningrad resident is defending the world title he won from fellow countryman Tigram Pe-trosian in Moscow in 1969. Spassky told newsmen in Moscow before leaving for Iceland he would prefer to stay home and "drink wine and play chess with my friends' than play for the world title. 1 i Dickson Tops Qualifiers MILWAUKEE (LTD Bob he has had a tough time on the will take a big beating starting Dickson, playing "one of my bet- pro tour this year, but hopes to Thursday, ter rounds," shot a six under change his luck this week.

And, although he admitted at the United States Open: "I sometimes think I may never win another major title only because you guys (reporters) keep talking about it," the flame of desire and competition burns as brightly as ever.

But even with the glasses, and advancing years, and increasing girth, and greying, thinning hair, and the lack of victories, Palmer still exerts a MMY MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) "I keep on trying to make something happen but it just doesn't." Arnold Palmer, perhaps the most popular player golf has ever known and the man generally acknowledged to be the driving force behind the enormous growth of the game, was talking about his failure to win this season. "I've had a hance to win three times, real good chances," Palmer said, a slight, puzzled frown creasing one of the world's most-photographed faces. "But every time I got in position to win, every time I thought I had something going, something always happened. I think I just wanted to win too much and got too anxious.

The 42-year-old master who put the word "charge" in golf's lexicon was making one of his fabled runs at the leaders in the final round of the Bob Hope Desert Classic then hit one out of bounds. Again, at Dallas, in the Byron Nelson Classic he mounted a last round challenge. The word went out: "Arnie's charging. The King is making his move." His always huge gallery swelled to massive proportions as the faithful stampeded to his side to witness another miracle. Instead they viewed consecutive three-putt bogeys that killed it all.

At Greensboro, he held a two-stroke lead going to the par three 16th hole on the final day. America's television audience watched in dismay and disbelief as he hit into a shallow stream at the bottom of a ditch, elected to play it out and took a lead-estroying, confidence-shattering triple bogey six that cost him the title. "I've had trouble with my concentration," he mused before a practice round for the British Open, which begins Wednesday. "My mind wanders. All of a suden I'm not there.

I'm off in a cloud or something somewhere else." 1 SoMo MENARD POLE BUILDINGS Need an aggressive salesman for full time work in the counties of Outagamie, Green Lake, Winnebago and western parts of Fond du Lac County.
