Friday, July 14, 1972 In New York Tonight WHIWendt Break Speed Mark Again 9 Patterson, Agosto Collide Phil Wendt, who has been making a habit of breaking the track record at Five Flags Speedway In recent weeks, will be the man to beat in the 25-lap late-model sportsman feature Friday night. Wendt, a veteran Mobile driver, cracked his own record last week in turning in a blistering 18:42 seconds around the half-mile oval on Pine Forest Road. However, while Wendt was setting the track record, he ran into trouble in the main event losing a tire and failed to finish the race with Royce Johnston going on to score an easy victory. The feature victory was Johnston's first of the year at the 1 speedway and the Pensacola driver will be hoping to repeat his feat this week. While Wendt will be one of Johnston's challengers for the checkered flag many other top drivers will be on hand to give, him plenty of competition.

Leading this array of talent will be Wayne Niedecken, Phillip McSwain, Gene Tapia, Dickie Davis, Doug Reid, Bob Davidson, Bill Townley, Jimmy Kitchens, Warren Boughton, Rufus Johnson, Freddy McCall and Warren Hughes. Clyde Fowler, who got in the feature winner's circle for the first time this season in the 15-Iap spectator main event, also hopes to do the same this week. However, Fowler must face a strong field of veterans which includes Maynard McMorris, James Winslow, Jimmy Bodiford, Bill McLane, Jim Maxey, Pete Smith, Randy Bryant, Neal Braxton, Hobert Tennyson, Gene O'Neil and John Patterson if he is to get the checkered flag. Time trials are at 7 p.m. with the first of nine races scheduled for 8:30 p.m.

NEW YORK (AP) Floyd Patterson will meet Pedro Agosto of Puerto Rico Friday night in a fight he is favored to win and must win to keep an August date with Muhammad All. The scheduled 10-round heavyweight bout is scheduled for the outdoor Singer Bowl which hasn't been the site of boxing since a young fighter named Joe Frazier lost to Buster Mathis In the 1964 Olympic Trials. Agosto has fought only twice since 1969, winning and losing 10-round decisions, but Patterson isn't taking the fight lightly because he knows an upset would cost him the fight with Ali, set for Madison Square Garden Aug. 28. "I haven't taken this fight for granted," said the 37-year- 1 two-time heavyweight champion who wants a crack at the title now held by Frazier.

"I don't take any fight for granted." Agosto turned pro in 1966 and through 1969 he scored 17 victories, 14 by knockouts, and lost twice. One of his losses was a one-round knockout by Forest Ward in New York, Aug. 18, 1969. Agosto was inactive in 1970. tt.

4 --V: (A PHIL WENDT record-holder Dislikes Presence of Cameras Fischer Boycotts Game With Spassky there," Fox reported. Two cameras were hidden behind two walls on the side of the stage. Two holes the size of saucers were cut into the wall for the cameras lenses to see. Stein said Fox couldn't comply with Fischer's demand to remove the cameras. "The whole financial structure of the match depends on It," Stein asserted.

The phone call informing the organizers Fischer wasn't coming was made by Fred Cramer, an official of the U.S. Chess Federation who has access to Fischer. It was made to Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation. Fischer's second, the Rev. As the rules required, Schmid started Fischer's clock, since he was to have the first move with the white pieces.

Spassky looked somewhat perplexed. Richard Stein, the lawyer for promoter Chester Fox, said "we did everything we could" to appease Fischer. The American chess champion objected to the presence of the cameras, though he could neither see them nor hear them in the darkness of the auditorium. Fox, who bought exclusive film rights for the 24-game match, said Fischer conceded he couldn't see or hear the cameras. "He said they bothered him because he knew they were suncii sum per tire rir William Lombardy, was at Fischer's hotel trying to persuade him to come.

Serlbner; Jan and DkK McNeil vk HrrlnS 1 m- Hud Pu REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer forfeited his chess game with world champion Boris Spassky of Russia on Thursday by failing to appear at the playing hall.

Fischer boycotted the game because he objected to the presence of movie cameras in the hall. The forfeit gave Spassky, who beat Fischer on Wednesday, a 2-0 lead in the scheduled 24-game series. It was uncertain whether the match would survive. Chief referee Lothar Schmid gave Fischer the hour provided by the rules to make his first move. When the hour was up, Schmid examined the clock, walked to the front of the stage and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.

Fischer did not appear in the playing hall. According to rule No. 5, if a layer is more than one hour ate, he loses the game by forfeit." Spassky was not on stage at the time. He later emerged from behind the beige curtains backstage, bowed to the crowd and left. Robert Byrne, the No.

2 U.S. player, said: "You are watching the first two-game world championship In the history of chess." During the elapsed hour there was a constant relay of telephone calls between the Sports Palace and Fischer's hotel. The crowd's reaction was one of anger. A young American who used his savings to travel to Iceland for the match said something unprintable. At what point Fischer would be disqualified from the championship scries would have to be decided by the International Chess Federation (FIDe), Schmid said.

Spassky, who won the first game of the 24-game match, entered the near-empty Sports Palace on time and took his place behind the black pieces arrayed in battle order before him.
