While Fans Waited, Fischer Went Bowling Hi STREATOR, III. (AP) -Thousands of youths lounged on a farm near Streator Tuesday listening to rock music at the "Spirit of 76" festival.

Police did not interfere with the gathering. Officials estimated from 5,000 to 15.000 youths were scattered over a farm near the Sandy Ford Conservation Area, 125 miles south ol Chicago. Sheriff James Callahan of LaSalle County said it was impossible to evict the youths and that 125 policemen from nearby communities were on stand-by duty in the event of trouble. Fifteen persons have been arrested since Monday when the youths began assembling for the music festival. Six were charged with aggravated assault, two with unlawful use of a weapon and seven with violating a court order.

Circuit Judge Thomas R. Clydesdale issued Monday an injunction prohibiting the promoter, Hershell P. Tucker of Peoria, from conducting the festival. No admission tickets were sold, the youths said. Local music groups provided the entertainment on a makeshift stage.

National groups scheduled to perform at the festival failed to appear. It was not learned if the farm owner gave. permission to stage the festival. The farm owner's identity was not learned. Officials said there was no fresh water, or electrical or plumbing facilities at the festival site.

Twice a imar uuo 11 they're not even here." Seated on the sofa while the television men set up their machines, Fischer suddenly jumped. "What time is it?" he asked, seeming unconcerned at the answer. "There's too many people in here. I can't breathe," he announced nexc. His friends who had sheltered him these last few days began to leave the room.

"No, you can stay," he said, calling one unidentified watcher back. "Too many guys in here." he mumbled to himself. Asked why he finally agreed to talk to newsmen after bolting and hiding from them in the past, he said, without a smile he rarely smiled and then only momentarily "I feel people have a right to know what's going on. You can't sneak off when you're representing your country." While the interview was in progress, neighbors of the Saidy family clustered on the sidewalk and peered through the windows at the famous recluse whose name most didn't even recognize. Earlier, one homeowner, when informed that Bobby Fischer was thought to be hiding in the neighborhood, said: "What's he doing here? Wasn't he He amused himself well enough, he said, without thinking about chess, "Consciously," he added.

During the interview Fischer paced. He crumpled and unfolded a white handkerchief in his left hand and chewed on an edge of it. Ho picked momentarily at a cuticle. No, he said, he wasn't nervous. His dirty blond hair was vaguely combed, somewhat matted.

He wore a diamond-design knit blue shirt and maroon slacks. Although seated inside on a green flowered sofa he unaccountably clutched a leather jacket in his lap. After reporters had stood outside the sprawling Saidy house for two days despite repated assertions by Anthony Saidy that Fischer was not inside Saidy emerged early Monday night to announce that Fischer was indeed inside and would see a newsman. Saidy selected a representative from The New York Times. Inside the foyer of the house, Fischer appeared and demanded, "Where is the TV? 1 want the TV.

I want television The television crews of ABC and NBC waiting disconsolately outside were hurriedly summoned inside. In the two-minute delay before the television newsmen he summoned appeared, Fischer, pacing restlessly. complained. New York Times Service NEW YORK On Sunday night, while the chess world was wondering where Bobby Fischer was and whether he would turn up for his match with world champion Boris Spassky, the erratic young genius was oH on Long Island bowling. No one recognized lilm, Fischer recalled gravely in a typically erratic interview early Monday evening prior to his departure for Reykjavik, Iceland.

Nor, he added, had anyone recognized him in other excursions he made from his hideout at. the home of a chess colleague, Anthony a i in Douglaston, Queens, a wealthy residential area New York City.
