C-Pablo Morales regained the 100-meter butterfly world record he lost to West Germany's Michael Gross in the 1984 Olympics with a time of 52.84 seconds Monday night at the U.S. Swimming World Championship Trials. "It was great to get the record back," Morales said. "It's a little more sweet now." The U.S. team that will compete in the fifth FINA World Championships at Madrid in August is being selected here.

The first- and second -place finishers in each event automatically make the team, while the third- and fourth-place swimmers will swim in the Goodwill Games next month in Moscow. Morales led from start to finish to reclaim the record. Matt Biondi was second with 53.28 seconds just .05 off Morales' old American -record time. The eight -year -old American -record in the 400-meter individual medley was shattered by David Wharton, a 17-year-old high school student from Warminster, who covered the distance in 4:18.77. Wharton's time is the fastest in the world this year.

Jeff Kostoff was second in 4:19.87. A meet record was set by Betsy Mitchell of Marrieta, Ohio, in the 200-meter freestyle with a time of 1:59.27. Mary T.

Donald Trump, the owner of the New Jersey Generals, said that if the United States Football League doesn't win its antitrust suit against the National Football League, he doesn't think his league will play this fall. This season is scheduled to be the first in the fall for the USFL after three spring seasons. The league voted to switch in August, 1984.

Trump said from the witness stand: "If we don't win this case and get a network television contract, I don't think we're going play against this horror of a league," the "horror" being a reference to the NFL, which he and other USFL witnesses have referred to in derogatory terms throughout the trial. USFL Commissioner Harry Usher described Trump's testimony as "just Donald's opinion" and said that the decision on playing would be up to all the owners. "We'll play," he said. "The owners are committed to playing in 1986." Businessman George Shinn, accompanied by a North Carolina contingent that included Gov. Jim Martin and Charlotte Mayor Harvey Gantt, presented National Basketball Assn.

Commissioner David Stern a $100,000 check, formally applying for an expansion franchise. Charlotte became the fourth applicant for membership in the NBA, joining Miami, Minneapolis and Orange County, Calif. Stern, who accepted the check at a news conference, said he expects two more cities, possibly Toronto and either Tampa or Orlando, to make presentations to the league before the NBA's Board of Governors meeting in October, when it will discuss expansion. The Board of Governors of the National Hockey League, wrapping up their annual congress, failed to come to grips with the issue of violence in their sport. The governors said they need more information before deciding if anything should be done to curb fighting, high-sticking and slashing.

"There was a brief discussion of violence, but we still had the draft on our minds," General Manager Cliff Fletcher of the Calgary Flames said, referring to last Saturday's amateur player draft at the Montreal Forum. "It just wasn't the time to talk about it." NHL Commissioner John Ziegler announced that the governors will wait for a report from their general managers before making any decisions at their next meeting Sept. 9-10 in Vancouver. He said the general managers will address the violence issue at their own meeting in July. A Dane County, circuit court judge denied a motion for a separate trial for one of three former University of Minnesota basketball players accused of sexually assaulting a Madison woman.

George Williams 20, wanted to be tried A policeman shot and killed his neighbor in H.uti after an argument over which teams would roac the finals of the World Cup soccer tournament. After watching Argentina defeat England, 2-1. Sunday, the unidentified policeman shot 23-year-oM Rodrigue Mouval twice. The officer fled, authorities said. Soon after the shooting, area residents filled a street with burning tires and "justice or death." Authorities said the neighbors knew the policeman who shot Mouval and proceeded to sack his home.

Neighbors said the two men sat together and watched the quarterfinal match on television between England and Argentina. After the match, they argued about which teams would play in the final game Sunday in Mexico City. A severe flu-like infection forced cruiserweight Craig Bodzianowski to cancel what was to have been his third fight since having his right foot amputated inches above the ankle, his manager, Jerry Lenza, said. Bodzianowski, who has a 15-0 record, was to have fought Steve Marmino (16-7) of St. Louis on Monday night at the University of Illinois Chicago Pavilion.

Mushy Callahan, who became famous first as a world champion boxer, then as a referee of world championship fights, died after a long illness last week and was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. He was 81. Callahan defeated Pinky Mitchell for the junior welterweight championship in 1926, then held the title until 1930. As a referee, he worked such big fights as Ray Robinson-Bobo Olson, Ezzard Charles-Jersey Joe Walcott, Floyd Patterson-Roy Harris, and Art Ar-agon-Chuck Davey. Callahan was born Vincent Morris Scheer in New York, but his family brought him to Los Angeles as a youngster.

He began boxing when he was only 14 and chose his alias to keep his family from learning about it. Callahan also worked for Warner Bros, studio as a trainer, teacher and adviser on boxing movies, occasionally playing bit parts. Lloyd's of London has asked a federal judge to void a insurance policy on Pelle Lindbergh, saying the late Philadelphia Flyers star goalie was in violation of the policy when he died after a car crash last November. The underwriter's Philadelphia attorney, Louis Bricklin, charged the policy taken out by the team contained a clause that prohibited payment in the event Lindbergh's death was caused by his "own criminal or felonious act." Tests showed that Lindbergh's blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit when his custom-built Porsche crashed into the concrete steps of a school at Somerdale, N.J., on Nov. 10.

Some of Bias' teammates said he and Tribble drove to Washington, D.C., several hours before his death. A police official acknowledged there were reports Bias had been seen in an area known for drug sales. Marshall described Tribble as having a criminal record involving minor theft but no involvement with drugs. University of Maryland officials "have not been as cooperative as law enforcement officials would like them to be," Marshall said, adding he wants to talk with basketball Coach Lefty Driesell about a meeting he had with his team hours after Bias died. There have been reports that Driesell instructed the players how to respond to questions from police and reporters.

"I'd like to know what he Driesell knows about drugs on campus," Marshall said, but added that he does not expect Driesell's involvement to result in charges being filed against him. The state's attorney said he also will be looking into reports of a chancellor; the Rev. Leamon W. White of Mount Bethel Baptist Church, and Richard E. Watkins, class leader at Pilgrim A.M.E.

Joey Sugar (Yorba Linda). Tim A Study Indicates Cocaine May Lead to Heart Attacks By PETE THOMAS, Times Staff Writer The recent sudden death of Len Bias, former University of Maryland basketball star, and the possibility that cocaine was a contributor, has put the spotlight on the relationship between cocaine and its effects on the heart. Cardiologists Mark Estes and Jeffrey Isner of the New England Medical Center, which is affiliated with Tufts University near Boston, have released a study suggesting that cocaine affects the heart in a life-threatening manner. The study, the largest of its kind, offered some answers in light of reports that Bias, the Boston Celtics' first-round draft pick, had used the drug shortly before his death last Thursday. Seven patients, between 20 and 37, were part of the study, which was conducted in 1984-1985.

All seven had used cocaine within six hours of being taken to the hospital with heart difficulties and none had shown previous signs of heart disease. Of the seven: Four patients had heart attacks and one of them died. One patient had severe scarring of the heart muscle, which improved after six months of medication and complete abstinence from cocaine. Two patients had ventricular arrhythmias unstable heart rhythms resulting in rapid heartbeats and ineffective pumping of blood. One of those patients a chronic user was found dead.

"He was found dead in bed and had been using cocaine several times a week for at least two years," said Estes, director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory at the hospital. In light of the study, if Bias used cocaine just before his death, as preliminary reports indicate, his death can't be considered altogether surprising. Declining to comment specifically on the Bias case, Estes nevertheless said: "In other young patients who had been free of heart disease, we clearly have seen serious heart problems that had been associated with the use of cocaine." Estes said that being an athlete would not necessarily decrease the chances of heart failure in a cocaine user. "We have no medical information about it, but there's not any reason to believe that being an athlete would make you more or less sensitive to cocaine," Estes said. One of the patients in the study was a judo instructor.

"In general, as one gets older, the risk of having adverse heart attacks from cocaine would get higher because in an older population of patients, there's more frequently blockages in the arteries of the heart," Estes said. "But it's not generally an old population that uses cocaine." Estes and Isner couldn't say for sure that a first-time user would be at less or greater risk, but Isner did say: "Some of our patients alleged that they had not used the drug before, but that can't be historically documented." Cocaine stimulates the flow of adrenaline to the heart, which doctors say causes stress on the heart. For the patients in the study, cocaine apparently acted as a catalyst for their heart problems. Besides increasing blood pressure and the heart rate, cocaine taken through the nostrils all seven of the patients studied had sniffed cocaine causes the blood vessels in the nose to constrict. Doctors are also looking at the possibility of the drug having the same effect on the arteries, thus leading to further heart problems.

"We have a black box unanswered questions about this drug. It has not been systematically evaluated medically," Estes said. "It's just not a safe drug."

Nice kid.

Wimbledon Notes Monday's play brought something new to Wimbledon, something that broke tradition: yellow balls. Even Wimbledon finally conceded that it is difficult to find white tennis balls these days. Mats Wilander did get his first match in before the rain, beating Scott Davis, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4. Vijay Amritraj of India, who upset France's Henri Leconte in the final of last week's pre-Wimbledon tournament and seemed ready for a comeback, lost in the first round to Wojtek Fibak of Poland, Martina Navratilo-va, on the prospects of a women's final between her and Chris Evert Lloyd: "I'm not writing anyone off, but if I had to put money on it, I'd back Chris and me to be in the final. It's not quite the same as putting money into government bonds, but Leonardo Lavalle of Mexico, the 1985 Wimbledon junior champion.

Lendl took the first set in a tiebreaker and was behind, 1-0, in the second when the match was postponed. Rain also wiped out Jimmy Connors' scheduled match with Robert Seguso, which was to be Connors' first appearance since suffering a pulled groin muscle. Britain's John Lloyd, husband of Chris Evert, said Connors looked healthy to him. "I have hit with Jimmy over the last week, and anyone with any sense should get their money on him at odds of 16-1," Lloyd said. "I've also hit with Boris Becker and the bounce of last year is missing.

He knows defending the title will be harder than winning it." Becker seemed pretty bouncy Monday, especially when he returned to Centre Court for the first time since beating Curren for the championship. Bengoechea, in the waiting room near the court, was not familiar with protocol and asked the old 18-year-old pro Becker what to do when he took the court. Continued from Page 2 other players. I was impressed with what I saw. He's dangerous all around, a very solid player." Jelen endured a triple match point in the fifth set, down, 5-4, and fought off another match point when Curren had him at the exit door once more, 8-7.

But Curren was unable to summon up a big serve to put him away. "I never got into any rhythm where I could dominate or dictate with my serve," Curren said. "And I was very surprised by his movement." The defeat particularly galled Curren because he thought he had a favorable draw in what he considered the most wide-open Wimbledon in years. "This one is anybody's," he said. "Whoever gets hot for two weeks can win." The favorite continues to be Ivan Lendl, although, before Monday's play was suspended by rain, Lendl was not exactly pummeling his first-round opponent, 18-year-old SOCCER And you can also win them if you have strong defensive players such as Eric Gerets and Georges Grun, excellent midfielders like team captain Jan Ceulemans and rising star Vincenzo Scifo, and talented forwards such as Nico Claesen and Daniel Veyt.

But, of all the Diables Rouges, it is 32-year-old goalkeeper Pfaff who has been most responsible for Belgium's success over the last six years. Particularly strong on the goal line as demonstrated by his save of Jose Eloy's penalty kick Sunday Pfaff is also known for his sharp reflexes and excellent anticipation. He is sound in the air and a good organizer of his defense. In other words, a top-class goalkeeper. He will need every one of those qualities Wednesday, when Diego Maradona, Jorge Valdano and the rest of the Argentine attack will be doing everything possible to see that the surprise team of the 1986 World Cup is denied one more surprise.

Continued from Page 3 speaking and some are Flemmish. "In football, players must want to pass the ball to each other, and they will do that far more easily if they are friends," Thys said in 1982. "Talking to players is such an integral part of a manager's job. You can win matches with reasonable words as well as with fierce tackles." BASEBALL San Francisco Reported that pitcher Jim Gott, who has been on the disabled list since May 9. will undergo surgery today to repair a partiala tear of the rotator cuff.
