Pre- GROSSINGER, N.Y. Bobby Fischer, America's hope for the world chess championship, rushed into the vast, brightly lit dining room at Grossinger's, giant resort tucked away in the Catskills. He's been ensconsed for three weeks at the hotel, a sprawling cluster of ror-e jtional facilities, Ping Pong tabies, pin ball lachines, Pepsi dispensers, miniature golf courses, swimming pcol, ski slope and convention rooms. At age 29, he's poised for a crack at the world title in chess, a goal since the beginning of his brilliant, but uneven, career. "What time is it?" he asked sitting down at a small table.

He was pale and his eyes were darker looking than usual. His hair was damp and neatly combed. He wore a blue suit and black tie, printed with galloping red stallions. MOTHER POSSUM AND YOUNG Where have all the possums gone? Last spring I caught five of them. One died, two were freed and two were given to small boys.

Another possum used to come every evening and share the cat's food. Where are they this year? G.P., Braintree, A Still asleep. Possums are natives of the southern United States but are now fairly common in Massachusetts, excepting the Berkshires, says biologist Jim.McDonogh of the state Fish and Game Division. They will end their hibernation when the weather gets warmer and new plant shoots appear for their food. By Tom Fitzpatrick Chicago Sun-Times MILWAUKEE George Wallace stared into the cameras.

He wore a fixed smile. His eyes were His hair, brilliantly lacquered and tinted brown, was glistening. He cocked his head slightly to catch the sounds of cheering and shouts from his supporters in the room. "American Legion!" shouted one man in. a leather jacket bedecked Lfcii r'y.

"Vance Hartke, George McGovern, Ed Muskie, Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy and Henry Jackson," Wallace added, spitting out each name as though it were an epithet. "The people are rebelling against this leadership that brought them to the brink of economic disaster. "Their liberalism is the very cause of high taxes and the people of this state know that it's this elitist group that has managed to infringe on the rights of people and the people are damn sick and tired of it all." The. Wallace supporters in the audience were on their feet, shouting fneir approval. "American Legion!" The man in the leather jacket shouted again and again.

"The people are just about fed up. These men have 109 years service and what did they do but get us in shouting, they remained silent as he repeated his message about winning wars quickly or not going to them at all. Next on Wallace's list was Sen. Edmund' Muskie of Maine. "Now he's runnln' around raisin big abstract things like the perceptibility of man! Why wasn't he in there in the Senate seem' about lowerin' taxes?" i I The question was asked about Muskie's statement that he would fight Wallace and what he stands for all his life.

Wallace stuck out, his1 jaw. "It doesn't concern me what these politicians who've been in the Senate 109 years feel. That's what the peo- pie are tired of, politicians who voteA to give money to. countries that spit" in our face and who vote to give away the workin man's taxes to wel- fare loafers in New York City. "If I'd been in that Senate all" with four "Wallace for President" buttons.

"American Legion, George!" The other shouts were drowned out. There were so many of them dinner He'd made the 8 p.m. deadline by one minute. BOBBY FISCHER ping pong break He mostly stays in his room, saying in a soft voice, "I gotta study. I gotta study." Many hotel employees see him as a loner withdrawn, nontalkative, abosrbed in his work, but still polite.

He asked the maitre d'hotel how much ho should tip. When left to decide for himself, he gave the man $100 and said to spread it around to the others. He got $55 back. "He usuilly comes flying in, the last person in the dining room. He's always on the run," said the dining room hostess.

If Fischer's running, it's partly from the tension. He challenges Russian Boris Spaasky for the title in a grueling 24-game match, beginnning June 22, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. gentle boy," says the "He's a maitre a land war in Asia. General Mac- and they were so diverse. It was a typical George Wallace press conference complete with cheering section, free Coca-cola and extremely heavy security.

Wallace looked out over the photographers. They had been warned they would have to take their pictures before the Alabama governor began talking and then would be asked to move out. They were shooting furiously "Now you all take a better picture than the one they have in the Milwaukee Sentinel this morning," Wallace said. "If I took that one to heart my feelings would be hurt. Pictures like that could give me a On Nov.

If your order has not been filled write to them, giving all details and proof of purchase. The international chess world has shown extraordinary interest in this match. Some seven countries bid for it.

Usually, there are only two or three bids. Prize money for the match is set at $138,500, with 72 Vi percent to the winner. "If the conversation lags, he gets up and says 'See He makes very few concessions to the social amenities, which is refreshing in this day," says a hotel employee. His regimen is simple and private. He does physical fitness exercises in his room, but doesn't work out at the hotel health club.

He swims but usually when no one else is around. He's polite when guests come to say hello but keeps to himself. He says skiing is too much trouble, but he plays table tennis, bowls and goes to the movies occasionally. Arthur warned us against that. "They got us in and then they supported people who called for a Communist victory under the guise of academic freedom Wallace's supporters were on their feet again and now the cheering was louder than ever as the little governor went after the liberals and the long-hairs.

i "I say we should have gone "in, there to win the war and get out or we shouldn't have gone in there at all. By now the applause was so loud Wallace became concerned that his message wouldn't be heard by those who would see his performance on television. Fischer beat Tigran Petrosian, Russian ex-world champion, in the semifinals. If he beats Spaasky he will become the first non-Russian to hold the world title in 25 years and the first official American title 1 those years I'd be up on my feet at the start of every day and I'd shout. 'Tax relief! Tax relief! But what were they doin'? They' were up there sayin', 'Tax! Tax! Tax! 1 i "And now we got 32,000 dope' addicts on relief in New York City and we're addin' 1400 a week.

We're supportin their dope habits with the people's money. It's Just as ridiculous as busin'." 1 Most press conferences for political candidates last approximately 15 minutes, 30 minutes on the out-', side. Wallace doesn't operate that" way. He takes every question and. runs with it until he has drained it' dry.

He had now been talking for 90 minutes. He was finished. The lights were turned off. Wallace, accompanied by half a dozen bodyguards, walked through the crowd of supporters, shaking hands and signing autographs and smiling, smiling, smiling. He was right.

It was not a flattering photograph. Wallace made his first appearance in Wisconsin yesterday since 1968 and it was obvious he was hoping to maintain the pace he had established in Florida. This is it. This is the big one for a man who's grown up obsessed with the complex moves of 32 chessmen around a checkered board. Are all the exit signs on Rte.

"Hold it a minute," he said to his supporters. "Let me get this over to them good and sure." The Wallace claque stopped Could you help me solve the problem of very high gas bills?

Salinger says Wisconsin vital for wrong reasons For this first showing, Wallace's staff had rented the top-floor cocktail lounge of the Holiday Inn.

They had packed it with Wallace supportr ers from the campaigns of 1964 and and 1968, who served throughout the session as an applause team, forming what would sound over television as a groundswell of public approval for their candidate. In elementary sociology classes they call this the bandwagon technique. You make a pronouncement, make it look as though everyone who hears it is widely enthusiastic about it and thus convert those on the edge to your side. Wallace's speaker's rostrum was bedecked with American flags. He began by introducing a Medal of Honor winner and he talked at length about the propaganda hurled against him by the liberal press and the difficulty of getting his message of truth out to the people.

And he talked about his opponents in the Wisconsin Democratic primary on April 4.

"He's got it down to a science, like everything else he does. The pool closes at 6:15. He waits until 6:05.

He swims three or four laps and leaves," says life guard Eddie Torres. Fischer also is the last one out of the men's health club. "He's always in a corner, to himself," says Mike Farcus at the club, adding that Fischer can be a sore loser at table tennis, slamming down his racket when he losses. "This is the first hotel he ever stayed at," says an employee. His mother, Uegina Fischer, brought him to the hotel when he won the US championship at age 14.

Today, Fischer is staying as the guest of the hoteL If he remains in his room in the two-story Tudor-style cottage until June, he'll have the longest run of any guest on record. Fischer docs have other interests. He knows pop music, lie likes the Motown sound. He's bought a camera. He reads news maeazines, and has been known to buy Playboy.

He asked how many girls were coming to the next singles weekend, perhaps just out of curiosity. But for now his big goal is keeping fit for the title. Fischer usually dines alone in banquet hall, filled with family-size tables, fake flowers, joking conventioneers, families with sullen-looking teenagers and bubbly children in pink crocheted outfits. "The whole theory of a hotel is a gip communal enterprise. But Bobby re nains a solitary figure," says a hotel representative.

Solitude can be hard to find in this active, noisy hotel, exuding "full-time frolic and joie de vivrc." A It ng-time meeting place for celebrities, potentates and politicians, it cater to coi cnlinns and arranges pedal singles weekends. Cut Fischer finds solitude, threading his way through a group of commercial photographers, with their blue, convention name tags.

"Up to now, money has been unavailable to cur campaign on the theory that George Is a nice guy but he can't win. Well, now he has got to win finish In the top three to remain viable candidate." McCnern, like Sh. Hubert II. Humphrey, is considered a "neighbor" to Wisconsin In this respect, his race here is similar to Sen-Edmund S. Munkie'i effort in New Hampshire.

Only this lime, the shoe Is on the other foot "The mitigating circumstances is that there are two 'neighbors' in this race, Hubert and George, and that's why finishing 'in the rmney' would be as good as a win," Sahngcr noted. "If I don't win delegates In Wisconsin, I'll eat crow right In front of the television cameras on April 5," McGovern said.

After Wisconsin, there will be 19 more primaries and although there certainly will be attrition in the swelled ranks of the Democratic contenders, the viable candidates need cash to continue. "To get more money, a candidate must do real well in Wisconsin, except for George Wallace and Shirley ChUnolm." said Salinger, now a top operative for Sen.
