But what he said was a link in my chain of luck occurred on the Friday before the first day of qualifying May 15. Southern stock car ace Lee-Roy Yarbrough had wrecked the No. 2 car on Dan Gurneys All-American Racing team. Yarbrough received burns on the neck that prevented him weaElng a helmet.

Dan asked me at oclock if Id like to try his No. 2 Eagle. I got abou 20 laps of practice, all the time pinching myself because of my good fortune. Malloy qualified the car at 171.838 miles per hour, one of the most solid of the first day efforts, but since has had the machine up to 173 m.p.h in practice. It will be his third Indianapolis start, finishing 2nd in 1968 and 11th in 1969.

Including, Malloy says, his wife Diana. I had had a long day at the Martin Co. office that day, Malloy recalled Monday.

I made up my mind Id had it. So I locked the desk at 5 oclock and told them I wasnt coming back. 4 At home, I told Diana I was going racing. I left her $100 and I had $120 myself. Ive never regretted it, though racing can get pretty frustrating at times.

Malloy, 36, will start Saturdays $1 million 500-mile race on the inside of the fourth row. He considers himself lucky to be in the lineup at all.

(New Mexican Sports Photo) NEW YORK (AP) As of today, the No. 1 quarterback for the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Colts still is Johnny Unitas limp and all. But when he will be able to play is the unanswered question. Were expecting him back, but I dont know if hell be ready by the time training camp opens July 11, said Coach Don McCafferty. I doubt that hell be back for the College All Star game (July1 30).

I dont know the He got rid of the cast and crutches last week and hes limping around now. You can guess Nov. 1 you might be right saying Sept. 1. I just dont know.

However, McCafferty is preparing for the possibility that age and injury might mean the Colts will be forced to do without Unitas for one of the few times in the past 16 years. At age 38 with a torn Achilles tendon, Unitas might be through. "Johns age and the time that he injured the foot will be his toughest problem, said Coach Weeb Ewbank of the New York Jets, who coached Unitas at Baltimore. He might have trouble setting up and then pushing off to pass. The worst thing that can happen would be that Unitas cant come back and Sam Hav-rilak and Karl Douglas dont pan out, McCafferty said.

Then we would only have Earl Norrall. Then wed be looking for another quarterback. But right now, were not looking. Unitas, who holds numerous National Football League passing records as perhaps the greatest quarterback in history, Dixie League By The Associated Press WEST Team W. L.

The Red Sox clipped Casey Cox for a run in their half of the first and shelled him in the third with Carl Yastrzemski hitting a two-run homer and Billy Conigliaro a three-run job. Williams violated the unwritten rule that says you dont pitch left-handers in Fenway Park, where -the Red Sox devour them as between-innings snacks. But Joe Grzenda allowed only one hit in three innings before leaving for a pinch hitter We figured hed just about had it, said Williams and Paul Lind-blad worked three hitless frames. I figured Id bring in Lind-blad to face Reggie Smith and Carl Yastrzemski and see how he did.

I also had Horacio Pina, a right-hander, warmed up. In the immortal words of Casey Stengel, Lindblad done splendid. He walked Smith but got Yaz to hit into a double play and retired the Red Sox in order after that. Meanwhile, the Senators nicked Bob Bolin for the tying run in the sixth on a single by Tim Cullen -and Toby Harrahs bloop double and got the winner in the seventh on doubles by Joe Foy and Paul Casanova.

Germans nerves give out By The Associated Press West Germanys Robert Huebner, citing frayed nerves, withdrew from the World Chess Championships Monday before the scheduled eighth game of his quarter-final elimination match against Russian Grandmaster Tigran Petrosian. Huebner, beaten by Petrosian in 40 moves Sunday after their first six games of the 10-game series at Seville, Spain, ended in draws, said his nerves were too disturbed for him to continue with any chance of success. In Mondays other quarter-final action in Moscow, Soviet Grandmasters Viktor Korchnoi and Yefim Geller played to a draw after 27 moves of the sixth game of their series. Korchnoi holds a lead over his countryman. The other quarter-final series pairing American Grandmaster Bobby Fischer of Los Angeles against Russias Mark Talmanov at Vancouver, B.C., and Bent Larsen of Sweden against Wolfgang Uhlmann of East Germany at Las Palmas, Canary Islands are to resume Tuesday.

Fischer has a 3-0 edge over Taimanov and Larsen leads Uhlmann 4-2. The tournament will provide a challenger for world champion Boris Spassky o( Russia. At Seville Monday, the British referee offered to postpone the Huebner-Petrosian game for a few days and continue play behind closed doors. But the German Grandmaster refused and Petrosian was declared the winner. The games had been played in a lecture room before 200 spectators daily.

PAUL, Minn. (AP) -Gov.

Wendell Anderson was leafing through a stack of bills on his desk awaiting his signature when one abolishing the game of ice hockey caught his eye. We asked if they really passed the thing, an aide said Monday. Martin Sabo, a political ally of the Governor, was listed as the main author. He was going to veto it, Andersons aide said, until several staff members could no longer contain the secret that the bill was a phony. It had been slipped into a stack of bills the governor was checking before signing into law.

The bill said hockey produces an overabundance of agres-siveness, mayhem and pugnacity among players who sometimes become politicians and continue to be super-aggressive as they were as players.

The Russians won their seventh straight game on their nationwide tour of the United States with a 98-87 thumping of a Lexington, AAU squad.
