The Boston Globe" Thursday, July 8, 1972 Powerboat rams Olympic yacht Starts Sunday or Tuesday Fischer contrite, chess match set i It was a bad day weatherwise for all hands. The wind swung from the Northeast as much as 110 degrees and it was more guesswork than skill. However the standings haven't changed much at alL With three races to go Jeff Lenhart of San Diego leads the Finn Monotype with Louis Nady and Ed Ben--nett, also California, just astern. There can be changes in the standings in both classes, since each skipper is allowed to throw out his worst race and count only six of the seven races sailed. It could make quite a difference.

By John Ahern, Globe Staff MARION In a bizarre bit of drama at sea, a powerboat man, irate because he had lost his fishing line, turned on full throttle and rammed Andy Kos-tanecki during the second race of the Tempest Class Olympic trials yesterday, and now its a question of getting the Coast Guard and adjusting some points. The man, stil unidentified this morning, but whose boat numbers have been turned over to the authorities, became infuriated when Don McNamara's Pink Panther, leading at that moment, hooked up unintentionally and parted the line. Apparently losing his composure completely, the fisherman rammed Kostanecki's boat, driving the Whaler hull through the mainsail and damaging a spreader. Last night Kostanecki entered a protest to the Olympic Committee which will make an adjustment of points as equitably as possible and) which will hoist the wronged skipper considerably higher than 11th, where he now stands. Up front this morning after four races is Glen Foster with 36.7.

Bruce Dyson, the Marblehead sail-maker, is second and the Linville brothers, winners of the day's second race, and Bill Cox Jr. are tied for third.

Lother Schmid, arbiter of the match said the draw of lots to decide who is to play white in the first of the 24 games in the $250,000 match will be held at 8 p.m. (4 p.m.t EDT) today.

Bobby Fischer, the late arriving American who is recognized by most experts as the world's greatest player, in a rare show of humility apologized to world champion Boris Spassky, the disgruntled Russian. In a written apology to Spassky and Soviet grandmaster Yefim Geller, Fischer said he was sorry he insulted Spassky and the Soviet people by disrupting the championship. But the Russians have toughened their stand. Russian domination in the chess world that dates back to 1948 is serioosly threatened if both sides finally agree to the 25-game match that should be finished sometime before Christmas. The president of the International Chess Federation, Dr.

Max Euwe, sharply condemned the American challenger and had suggested the match be put off so that Spassky can regain his composure after so many anxious days of waiting for. Fischer. "He's living in another world," said Dr. Euwe of Fischer. There is a possibility the match will have to be split into two parts so the world championship could be played in Skopje, Yougoslavia, starting Sept.

18. Dr. Euwe wrote a confession of abject guilt for allowing the delay. "I violated the rules, I apologize. I'm very guilty," he said.

The Russians, who wanted Fischer to forfeit the first match, also demanded the president condemn the 29-year-old American which he did quickly. "Is there anyone who would not condemn Fischer?" he asked. "Even his friends say his behavior is inexcusable." WHO IS THIS WOMAN?
