By VIRGIL PARKER Houston's Cynthia Potter took the first step toward repeating her unprecedented 1971 irrana oiam sweep ujr winning the one-meter spring board title as tiie National AAU Outdoor Diving Meet opened at Woods Pool Tuesday. Last year the petite 22-year-old Texan became the first woman in history to claim the Triple Crown, the one and three-meter board and tea meter platform championships, in the same meet. "It's nice to win the one meter again," the University of Indiana senior admitted, "But the other two are the important events. They don't compete in the low board at the Olympics. If I want to make the team and go to Munich I'll have to excel oo the three-meter or tower." Miss Potter walks around with head bowed between mves, reiusnig wauat me other competitors.

It makes me too nervous, she admits. "I spend the time thinking JlSifiihw dive better, although I hear the announcer report the other girls scores and thus know about where we all stand." The victory was Miss Pot- tar's 14th in a national meet, "But most of them have been on the one-meter board," she points out. "I hope that won't be the case this summer." Air Force Capt. Micki King, the only member of the 1968 U.S. Women's Olympic team trying for a repeat berth, led "I tried to get in both divisions, but they wouldn't let me," Anderson said after luesuays rouna.

MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) Only in the United States is it called the British Open.

Elsewhere in the world it is simply The Open. This is The Open The others carry a demeaning prefix. Like the United States Open. Or the Canadian Open. Or the Tasmanian Open.

This is particularly true in Britain, where they blithely ignore the existence of any other open golf championship. It's more particularly true in Scotland. It's most particularly true around Muirfield, which has some considerable claims to being the birthplace of the game. It was in this area, some 16 miles southeast of Edinburgh Castle which crouches on a hilltop in Scotland's capital, in 1744 that golf's first organization was formed, the honorable Company of Edinburgh golfers. The company, which still conducts the affairs of Muirfield, was organized to play a four-hole course not far from the present site hard by the Firth of Forth on the East coast of Scotland.

And they drew up the game's' first set of rules, 13 of them. The first Tule was: "The tee shall be not mor than one club length from the hole." The second rule was: "The tee shall be on the ground." Joe Dey, a noted historian, former head of the USGA and now commissioner of the Tournament Players Division of the PGA, explained about rule No. 1. "This, of course, was before there were wooder. tees.

The player would reach into the hole to get a handful of sand and pour it on the ground to form a tee. Now, there was no rule covering uniformity of the size of the hole. So as the day went on and more players went through, the hole got bigger and bigger. "But, teeing it up one club length from the hole, can you imagine what the putting green looked like?" Jack Nicklaus' drive for a Grand Slam has attracted world wide interest in the British Open, the third of four titles needed for the unprecedented sweep. A total of 392 writers, a phers-excluding television personnel were accredited lop the 101st championship, the most ever.

Galleries in excess of 7,000 watched practice rounds Monday and Tuesday and officials expected record crowds for the tournament proper. "I should think the total crowd for the tournament should be around 100,000," press officers Glv-e Simms said, and smiled, "If the weather and Jack Nicklaus both continue to be good." First prize is about $14,300. "With the mob I've got," said South African Gary Player, who is traveling with his wife and five children, "I can win the tournament and still not break even." The British Broadcasting has scheduled 20 hours of television coverage for the event, the most ever. ABC-TV has scheduled coverage via satellite to the United States for 5-7 p.m., EDT, for Saturday's final round. "Meet the new dedicated, determined Doug said dapper Doug, who is enjoying one of his best seasons in several years.

"I love Scotland. Th country's been good to me. I was runnerup to Nicklaus twice here, at Muirfield in 1966 and at St. Andrews in 1970. This time I think I can win in Scotland." Favored Jack Nicklaus was assigned car sticker No.

The Icelanders rejected Fischer's demand and told him it is up to the official referee, Lothar Schmid of West Germany, to run the game from now on.

Spassky's seconds, including international grand masters Efrim Geller and Nikolai Krogius, sent their world champion to sleep and then spent the night and the morning hours analyzing the position to find a winning combination for Spassky. Many expert feel they will succeed, even if Geller himself modestly suggested: "I believe we will have a draw." The first game delayed for nine days because of problems raised first by Fischer and then by Spassky, who did not like the American's behavior started with Fischer being late eight minutes because he had been delayed by traffic. Another Story, Page 38. REYKJAVIK, Iceland (UPI)-Caught in a hopelessly drawn game, temperamental American challenger Bobby Fischer took a chance to bring some life into his first world chess championship game. In that moment, soft-spoken and mild-mannered Boris Spassky proved why he is the world champion in the noblest of games.

He immediately pounced on Fischer's bishop left trapped after capturing one of the Russian's pawns and the game turned distinctly in Spassky's favor. Spassky asked for adjournment after 40 moves and 42 hours play. When the two resume the game the first in their $250,000, 24-game wcrid match Spasky has a bishop and three pawns against Fischer's five pawns. Play resumes at 5 p.m. (1 p.m.

EDT). Most experts assembled here seemed to agree that Spassky has a chance to win, while Fischer should be happy if he salvages a draw. But nobody has come up with an explanation why the American chess genius went straight into what appeared to be a Russian trap. "He took a chance to win a chance," said Danish grandmaster Jens Eneveoldsen. "We will never know until Fischer tells us if he does," said another international grandmaster.

Fischer obviously was displeased with his game. After the adjournment he angrily demanded a meeting with the Icelandic organizers to complain against what he described as the noisy audience. Some 3,000 Icelanders and foreign chess enthusiasts had packed into the Lagardur Hall for the opening thriller. But most knowledgeable observers said they felt the Anderson Makes Toor Decision' AK-SAR-BHN INTRI II mim a tnrowing error by ban Williams and Ted Sizemore's sacrifice fly. They shouldn't have bothered.

The teams battled into the 15th when Atlanta finally pushed across the winning run with the help of two wild pitches by reliever Lowell Palmer. Gil Garrido opened with a single, moved up on a wild pitch and long fly before scoring on Palmer's second wild pitch. The Mets, who are losing ball players almost as frequently as ball games, dropped another of each. Outfielder John Milner was carried off the field after a collision with shortstop Bud Harrelson in the third inning of New York's game against San Francisco. Milner suffered a neck injury and Chris Speier's popup fell for a double, scoring two runs for the Giants.

The Mets, already mising three regular outfielders because of injuries, replaced Milner with catcher Duffy Dyer and in the seventh Speier hit another pop fly which Dyer let drop for an error and two more Giants' runs. Ron Bryant pitched a two-hitter for the victory. Steve Carlton tossed a five-hitter for his seventh straight victory, pitching Philadelphia past Los Angeles. Carlton struck out eight, running his major league lead in that department to 182. Don Money drove in three runs for the Phillies with a bases-loaded double.

Jack Biilingham hurled a seven-hitter and the Reds won the clash of division leaders. Johnny Bench had four hits, driving in three runs with two singles, a double and his 22nd home run of the year. The RBIs upped his major league lead in that department to 66. Tricia Plans Lincoln Visit Another member of the Nixon family is coming to Lincoln. While Pres.

Richard Nixon has appeared in the Capital City to present a No. 1 plaque to the University of Nebraska football team, daughter Tricia Nixon Cox will arrive Saturday to attend the final session of the National AAU Diving Championships at Woods Pool. Meet Director Dick Kincade said the President's daughter's appearance is part of the President's 'continuing interest in athletics and on behalf of the President's Council on Physical Fitness. Mrs. Cox will present the championship awards to Saturday's winners.

Finals in the women's three-meter springboard and the men's platform will be contested that day.
