And that's about as far as from Red Lodge to Munich. I SECTION THREE EUGENE, Ore.

(AP) Officials are testing extensively all this week to determine if any athletes at the U.S. men's Olympic Track and Field Trials here are using amphetamines or other drugs. In order to make the trials parallel the Olympics as closely as possible, officials are requiring athletes to take urinalysis tests after each man's last performance of every day. Such tests will show whether or not an athlete has taken "a stimulating drug or any pharmaceutical," according to a brochure handed athletes when they checked in. Bob Giegengack, chairman of the men's track and field program for the U.S.

Olympic Committee, said conditions at the University of Oregon will "duplicate what will happen in Munich." He said the drug testing is almost exactly like that which is planned for the 20th Olympiad later this year. Sunday, July 2, 1972 Morning Edition Brown's last formal competition against other people was in the Eastern Montana College Lettermen's Invitational at the Midland Empire Fairgrounds in April. He finished second in the mile to EMC's Paul Carpenter and second to Montana State's Jim Robbins in the 2-mile. "They were sprints for me," he said. "And I wasn't really in shape for sprints." Nonetheiess, he's concentrated lately on timing quarter-mile intervals in bunches.

By PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON "Mr. President, as the Nation's number one baseball fan would you be willing to name your all-time baseball team?" When Cliff Evans of RKO General Broadcasting asked me this question at the conclusion of a news conference in the Oval Office on June 22 1 readily replied, "Yes." Since then I have found that preparing an answer to that question is about as difficult a task as a President or any other baseball fan could possibly undertake. FORTUNATELY, I was able to obtain some expert advice in making my selections.

The most avid baseball fan in the Nixon family is David Eisenhower. On Sunday afternoon at Camp David, June 25, we sat down together and began to study the record books for the purpose of compiling a list of stars which would stand up under the scrutiny such a selection would receive from sports writers and baseball fans throughout the country. We first decided that we would select National League and American League teams for both the post-World War II and pre-World War II periods. We decided to include only players after 1925 since that was about the time that I began to follow major league baseball in the sports pages. Some present-day stars who will undoubtedly be selected for the Hall of Fame in the years ahead are not included only because I believe more time is needed to appraise their careers fully.

AS ANY baseball fan will understand, I found it impossible to limit the team to 9 men. Consequently, on each team I have selected two cathers, five starting pitchers, one relief pithcer and five additional infielders and outfielders who are listed as reserves but who by a toss of the coin could be put in the starting lineup. The selections I have made, with David's expert assistance, follow: NATIONAL LEAGUE-PRE WAR 1925-4d: Kirst base Bill Terry; second base Rogers Hornsby; third base Pie Traynor: shortstop Arky Vaughan; outfield Paul Waner: Mel Ott. Hack Wilson: catchers-Ernie Gabby Hartnett: pitchers Carl Hubbell. Dizzy Dean, Bucky Walters, Mort Cooper, Burleigh Grimes, reserves: outfield Ducky Medwick, Chuck Klein.

Edd Roush: infield-Marty Marion. Frankie Fnsch; relief pitcher Mace Crown; manager Branch Rickey. NATIONAL LEAGUE POST WAR 1945-70: First base Stan Musial: second base Jackie Robinson; third base Eddie Mathews; shortstop Ernie Banks: outfield Hank Aaron. Willie Mays. Roberto Clemente: catchers-Roy Campanella.

Johnny Bench: pitchers Sandy Koufax. Warren Spahn. Juan Marichal, Bob Gibson, Robin Roberts; reserve: infield Maury Wills. Dick Groat. Willie McCovey.

Ken Boycr; outfield Duke Snider, relief pitcher Roy Face; manager Walter Alston. AMERICAN LEAGl'E PREWAR 1925-45: First base Lou Gehrig; second base Charlie Gehringer: third base Red Rolfe; shortstop-Joe Cronin. outfield-Babe Ruth: Joe DiMaggio, Al Simmons catchers Mickey Cochrane, Bill Dickey; pitchers-Satchel Paige, Herb Pennock. Lefty Grove. Red Ruffing, Bobo Newsom.

reserves: infield Jimmie Foxx. Hank Greenberg, Luke Appling: outfield Goslin. Harry Heilmann. relief pitcher Johnny Murphy: manager Connie Mack. AMERICAN LEAGl'E POST-WAR 1945-70: First base Harmon Killebrew: second base Nellie Fox: third base-Brooks Robinson; shortstop Lou Boudreau: outfield Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle.

Frank Robinson; catchers Yogi Berra, ELston Howard; pitchers Bob Lemon. Bob Feller. Early Wynn, Whi-tey Ford, Dave McNally: reserves: outfield Al Kaline. Carl Yastrzemskj: Tony Ohva: infield -Bobby Richardson, Luis Aparicio: relief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm: manager Casey Stengel. SOME PERSONAL observations with regard to some of my selections might be of interest.

Arky Vaughan, who is named as the shortstop on the National League pre-war team, may be a surprise to some. There is a sentimental reasons for my including him the fact that I attended Fullerton High School with him in 1927 when he was a star football player as well as a fine baseball player. I think most experts would include Arky on a team if he were rated solely on his hitting ability, He was one of those rare shortstops who led the League in hitting when he played with the Pirates. His fielding average was not as high as that of some other shortstops, but I recall reading a sports column on one occasion which pointed out that he would have had a much higher average except for the fact that he covered far more ground than the average shortstop. He got to balls that most shortstops would never have reached and which would have gone through as clean hits.

In any event, I believe that at his best with his hitting ability and his great competitive spirit he deserves selection on an all-star team. Selecting a Manager for the National League team in the 1925-45 period is also a very close call. I have picked Branch Rickey because of his organizational genius in building the first outstanding farm system at St. Louis, and his ability after developing the great "Gas House Gang" there to move on to Brooklyn and latter to Pittsburgh and to lay the foundation in those cities for championship teams in later years. BASEBALL WILL always be in his debt for finally breaking down the color barrier by bringing Jackie Robinson up from Montreal to Brooklyn.

I recall his telling me at one time years later that he was proud of that decision, particularly because he insisted that when the first Negro player came to the major leagues he must without question be the very besk at his position. Jackie Robinson's spectacular career in Brooklyn opened the way for the other great Negro stars who add so much to the game today. The selection of Walter Alston as the 1945 to 1970 Manager is made because of his ability to build a great team and then to bring on a new crop of players to take their place as they near the retirement age. The selection of Roy Face as a relief pitcher may be open to question because there were a host of excellent relief pitchers in the National League in the post-war period. For example, Jim Konstanty's feat of winning 16 games in relief (Continued on Page 25) to try to beat him psychologically.

Fischer ieeis the championships have become a political matter. That annoys him. But it hasn't lessened any of his desire to beat Spassky. Fischer has a lot of that same "killer instinct" Jack Dempsey had when he was fighting. Some of that instinct shows up even when he's not sitting at the chess board.

Earlier this month, for example, he competed with 15 other top athletes in the Dewars Sports Celebrity tennis championships at LaCosta, and it was a little funny to watch such headliners as Rick Barry, Deacon Jones and Elgin Baylor all ask Fischer for his autograph. In the finals of the tournament, Hank Greenberg, the baseball Hall of Famer, and Bob Boyd, the basketball coach at Southern California, beat O. J. Simpson and Gail Goodrich for the title. Bobby Fischer was among the losers.

"Next year," he said. "I'm going to win." He said it as if he meant it, too. good deal of sense. Fischer has been there, so when he talks about Reykjavik he isn't doing so from hearsay but from personal experience. He says there is so little to do there, particularly at night, a guy can go out of his ever-loving mind.

Not that Fischer is a rounder. If anything, he's much more of a loner, but there are times he would like to become part of the general mix, or at least observe it, and how can he possibly do that when there is no general mix? He also says the television coverage will be limited. If he beats Spassky, he doesn't see why it should be some kind of secret. Fischer originally planned to go to the world championships with only one other person; Spassky is already in Reykjavik with what amounts to an entourage. Fischer reads significance into that also because the championship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax, Fischer won't.

Fischer doesn't think any of these things are pure accidents. He sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to play in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there This has shaken up a lot of people but Fischer had a reason for his actions. Call it one-upsmanship if you like. Boris Spassky needn't worry about Fischer not making it for their first match Sunday though. Bobby Hull may or may not play for the Winnipeg Jets next season and Rick Barry may or may not play for the Golden State Warriors, but there is no way Bobby Fischer ever is going to miss playing for the world championship of chess.

Even in Reykjavik. Mainly because he thinks he's going to win. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's right, and that has nothing to do with chauvinism. Spassky is good, but Fischer is better, and when the tall, curly -haired New Yorker is right, he's like Joe Frazier and Tom Seaver when they're right. Meaning nobody's going to beat him.

Fischer doesn't hold back. He is exceptionally outspoken and honest, and when you hear his objections to playing in Reykjavik, they do make a By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK (UPI)-The more Bobby Fischer thinks about it, the more it bugs him. Why Reykjavik, Iceland? "Why not Rome?" Fischer would like to know. "Why not Paris, Oslo, Zurich, Dallas or New York? Or even Moscow? Any large city where there's people, activity and decent restaurants would be fine. Some place at least where there's something to do at night." Bobby Fischer, America's 29-year-old chess genius, has a theory about why Reykjavik was picked as the site of the world championship which starts this Sunday.

The Russians are the ones who picked Reykjavik. Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive. He thinks they want to "hide" the championship because he feels he's going to take it from the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky. What's more, Fischer thinks the Russians know he's going to do it. In this own way, Fischer is a demonstrator.

He has been demonstrating the way he feels about having I Record First woman entry! Riva Ridge wins INGLEWOOD, Calif.

The Rapid City YMCA swim team made it to the event at about half strength and not in much shape to be top competitors but they made it. 75 points. Calhoun, 23, and Don Zenk, acting president of the team's parents organization, found it difficult to cite the actual reasons that only 39 of the 88 team members could make it. "It's a lot related to the flood," Calhoun said. Zenk added that the attitude of many of the parents of the swimmers is that "With all this (flooding and deaths), what the hell are we talking about swimming for?" THE RAPID CITY squad made it through the floods with none of their numbers adding to the death tally of 235 that succumbed to the raging waters of Rapid Creek.

Calhoun said that about 15 of the swimmers lived by the stream and that close calls were the fate of several. "About the closest call," Calhoun remembered, "was when one of the girls was getting out of her house and fell. She was swept away until somebody spotted her just floating by like a piece of trash and yanked her out about six or seven blocks away." But the team is hardly ready for the top flight competition that is going on at the Rose Park pool. RAPID CITY comes into the meet having missed about 10 days of practice in the last three weeks. During those days the 50-meter Olympic pool they call home was being used as a "fire reservoir," a ready water supply to be used in case of fires.

Despite this the team is recovering rapidly, starting with the team's spirit. Calhoun said they returned to competition last weekend and placed last of four teams at Aberdeen, S.D. "We were down after Aberdeen," Calhoun said, "but the spirit is good now and in four or five more weeks we'll be back at full strength." Until that time, the Rapid City YMCA swim team, like all other members of that South Dakota community of 44,000, will undergo rebuilding to try to recapture what was decimated a month ago. hi- I if I A 1 wm TEAM COACH Doug Calhoun admitted "I'm not planning to win a meet until our (South Dakota) state meet about six weeks from HENCKEL DON ZENK Rapid City aide now."
