E-6 Jnly 6, 1572 HONOLULU ADVERTISER start Sunday 'excellent chance' Bobby Fisdher9 it may REYKJAVIK (UPD The Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer world chess championship match will open Sunday or Tuesday at the latest, the president of the International Chess Federation (FIDE) said early today. FIDE President Dr. Max Nash's turn Ugly American 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 signa- ture attached. said he was satisfied that it would be forthcoming. FISCHER presented an apology of sorts yesterday when he broke his silence with a statement regretting the delay of the match.

Fischer said it was not Spassky's fault that the continued from Page E-l be back by photographers in New en to owe W1Y I Ty A 1 i' Cassis' i Euwe said he felt the major outstanding differences had been settled at a meeting between FIDE, the Icelandic organizers and Spas-sky's advisers ending early today. "The match will start on Sunday or at the latest Tuesday." Dr. Euwe told newsmen. But Lother Schmid, the FIDE arbiter of the match, warned that "This is if everything goes according to plan. Things can still go wrong," he added.

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 at 8 p.m. today. Dr. Euwe said a new meeting, also involving Fischer advisers, would be held today. One other point to be settled is Spassky's demand for an apology from Fischer with the American's signature on it.

No such document has yet been presented to the Russian world champion, but Dr. Euwe mained closeted in New York and his representatives here bumbled from one disaster to another. Fischer may well emerge as the next wrorld champion. His public image here may even improve during the 24r game competition, but in the meantime, it's been rough going. He and Spassky still haven't sat down to the chess board, and the Ugly American image is still predominant.

In fact, it appeared to worsen yesterday, as Cramer held a farcical press conference, the last in a day of weary and confusing meetings of the press with Russians, Chess Federation officials and Icelanders. SPEAKING AFTER Dr. Euwe had formally condemned Fischer's behavior, Cramer said blandly, "Bobby doesn't feel he's violated any rules." He scoffed at the Soviet complaint that Fischer had missed the opening ceremony Saturday, describing it as "a musical concert with speeches in Icelandic which he wouldn't have understood." Everyone else, including the president of Iceland, took the trouble to attend. To top it all off, Cramer demanded an apology from the International Chess Federation, saying it broke the rules by agreeing to a Russian request that the drawing for the first game be postponed. The press corps stumbled from the auditorium, not knowing whether to be angry or simply dumbfounded by this performance.

An American grand master declared angrily: ''We must get rid of him." It was least a week too late, however, to repair the damage done here. York, this correspondent has yet to find one Icelander sympathetic to him. "I hope, he stays home," said a businessman shortly before Fischer finally made the flight over. All in all, the Americans add up to a great team for Spassky. And he needs them, for his own people back in Moscow have been up to their usual heavy-handed nonsense.

After a fortnight in which he built up his nice-guy image, Spassky almost had it shot out from underneath him. The Soviet Chess Federation opened up its big guns against not only Fischer but Dr. Max Euwe, the Dutch president of the International Chess Federation and a man in way over his head in the current crisis. Spassky himself put out a statement, considerably more restrained than the noises from Moscow. It appeared to some, including Dr.

Euwe, that Spassky was simply going through the motions of protest after getting orders from Moscow. THE SOVIET champion is something of an outsider. He is not a member of the Communist Party, and drives about the streets of Moscow in a Volvo. Men at the top can get away with this in the Soviet Union. But Spassky is under considerable pressure to beat Fischer, and his whole way of life could be influenced by whether he retains his crown or not.

Spassky has not played well recently, and his international rating is now lower than Fischer's. Despite this, he has kept his courteous cool during trying days while Bobby Fischer re EXCLUSIVES AVAILABLE ONLY AT RODNEY K'S Corner Dillingham Puuhale Sts.

For University of Hawaii star Bob Nash the play is just about to open. Nash and Rowe have never met, but are soon to be cast in the same show on the same traveling circuit. Nash was the first round draft choice for the Detroit Pistons this year. Rowe, a former UCLA Ail-American, was the Pistons' first-round selection last year. Rowe was hired and moved right in as a leading man.

Nash is hoping to do the. same, although he may be employed as an understudy at first. ROWE AND his good pal Sidney Wicks of the Portland Trail Blazers are in Hawaii this week to participate in the special benefit basketball game at the Roman Gabriel football camp on Maui. Rowe, a starting forward for Detroit, says he has personally never seen Nash play, but figures the Pistons knew what they were looking for when they picked him. "He's got an excellent chance to step right in since Terry Dischinger retired," said Rowe.

''But you have to earn a starting spot and that means hard work every day. 'T'm looking forward to him playing. He must be able to help or they wouldn't have drafted him. And I'm always looking for all kinds of help," said Rowe. BY PLAYING forward in college.

Nash, according to iiis future teamate, is one step ahead in the pro game. "So many college forwards have been converted from centers and other players usually kill him on otfense at first," said Rowe. But all the cream goes to the top. You can't hide talent. If Nash can shoot and rebound, he can make it easily in the league." Last season the Pistons finished in the Midwest division cellar 37 games behind leader Milwaukee.

Rowe doesn't foresee the same thing this time around. "THERE'S NO way we should ever have a season like that again," professed Rowe. "We were going through coaching changes and Dave Bing was out for half the season. Bing is a great team leader. He'll help Nash a lot, I know, be-' cause he helped me a lot." As Rowe sees it, pro and college basketball are about as opposite as the North and South Poles.

He feels there is a big difference in everything from the "level of competition," to the "quality of play," to the fact that pros "are more physical." But, Rowe believes, a rookie either learns or he doesn't play. "All rookies are used at first. You have to get out and make mistakes and then learn by cutting down on mistakes. In college the coach babies you along and butters you up. That stops in the pros.

You can't ex NASH away. You have to learn by getting out on the floor," said Rowe. Rowe's friend Wicks, also a UCLA grad, seemed to learn the pro game fast. Or at least well enough to earn rookie of the year honors this past season. WHEREAS ROWE is optimistic about the Pistons' future, Wicks is realistic.

Portland finished last in the Pacific division race 51 games behind the champion Los Angeles Lakers. Wicks feels there is a good chance that's where they'll wind up again. "We'll improve next season," said Wicks, who will return in September with the Blazers for a pro exhibition series. "But our division is stronger. Rick Barry will be back with Golden State and you know what that means.

Then, they put Phoenix in our division and took out a weak team like Houston." WICKS NOTICED veterans give rookies the cold shoulder at first and feel threatened when a perspective starter joins the team, because they may be "forced to plan their schedule around sitting on the bench." You can easily draw a parallel on the careers of Wicks and Rowe. They both made All-American competing for different high schools in Los Angeles. They both played on three UCLA national champion teams. They were both drafted in the first round of the NBA and both started for last place teams. Some day they may be the "threatened veterans" sitting on the bench.

But if that day does come, do yourself a favor take notice of their replacements. GENERAL OUT OF STOCK! UT LUCKILY. a surfing film by Albert Falzon, will premiere today at the Roosevelt High School Auditorium, 120 Nehoa. Show time will be at 8:30 p.m. today through Sunday.
