Bob Seagren, back after offseason knee surgery, proved nearly unstoppable with an 185 vault for a world mark. Some old faces are gone, though. Randy Matson, king of the shot put for nearly a 'decade, retired when he finished fourth to George Woods, A1 Feuerbach and Brian Oldfield in a superb competition.

Woods and Feuerbach recently joined Matson as historys only 70-foot throwers. Mel Pender, the 34-year-old Army captain, called it quits when he failed to make the finals of the 100-meter dash here. Bob Beamon, the 1968 Olympic long jump champ, and Ralph Boston, perennial top banana in the event, couldnt overcome injuries as Arnie Robinson, Randy Williams and Most experts feel America could win as many as 12 gold medals but realistically can be favored in only the shot put, 400 meters, 110-meter high hurdles, relay and possibly the pole vault. Opposition from known Europeans and unknown Africans is most other events turn most events into dogfights even the 5,000, where Prefontaine could run into as many as seven other superb runners. little known Preston Carrington made the squad.

John Craft, Dave Smith and Art Walker comprise the U.S. triple jump team, strongest America has sent since the turn of the century.

Eddie Hart, Robinson and Robert Taylor will run the 100-meter dash in Germany.

The 400-meter tandem of Wayne Collett, John Smith and Vince Matthews looks about as solid as a wall. An American sweep in the event is a possibility because there isnt a runner in the world who has cracked 45.7 this year. Collett ran 44.1, Smith 44.3 and Matthews 44.9 in advancing here. Davenport ran second, Tom Hill first and Rod Milburn third in the 110-meter high hurdle final to qualify for the U.S. team.

That trio is as good as America has sent in years. Burton, a Purdue sophomore in his first year of track, joins Chuck Smith and Larry Black on a swift 200 combo. Smith became the worlds fifth 18-foot pole vaulter. Stones cracked the world age-group high jump record as the 18year-old from UCLA went 7-3. Silvester whipped the discus 211-2 to earn a berth on the team for a third time.

Ryun had once considered running both the 1,500 and the 800 in Munich but fast-rising Dave Wottle is the only one with that choice after his world-record equaling 1:44.3 in the half mile and second place to Ryun in the metric mile. Steeplechaser Mike Manley, 30, is a veteran of the event but Doug Brown, Tennessees 20-year-old sophomore, makes that event somewhat of a question mark. Manley, Americas second fastest ever in the event, was only two seconds ahead of the fast-closing Brown in the trials the lad only started running the race 10 weeks ago. Ralph Mann is back for another shot in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles. Mann ran 48.4 for the second best time EUGENE, Ore.

(AP) -Veterans Jim Ryun, Frank Shorter, Willie Davenport, Jay Silvester and George Young and youngsters Rey Robinson, Larry Burton, Steve Smith and Dwight Stones are on the boat hoping to blend their exuberance and cool to produce another great American Olympic team. Ten days of competition, surviving KXFdegree heat and rain, have sorted out the athletes; the top three finishers in each event at the mens Olympic trials here advance one step the biggest step into the 20th Olympiad beginning Aug. 31 at Munich, Germany. For Ryun, the world recor-dholder, its a third crack at the Olympic gold medal which he missed in 1964 and 1968. His stunning 51.5-second last lap in the dash here capped his comeback.

I feel I have a better and faster race inside me, said the jubilant 25-year-old from Kansas who hopes to become the first American since 1908 to win the metric mile. Shorter ran first in both the 10,000 and the marathon. The 24-year-old former AAU titlist will be traveling back to his birthplace. It was also 1908 the last time an American won the marathon. Steve Prefontaine proved his races arpnt all against the clock as he defeated the 34year-old Young handily in American record time in the first meeting of the two aces.

Pres time of 13:22.8 is the fastest in the world this year and wipes out his own 13:29.8. Young cracked 13:30 for a lifetime best and moves to Munich with an American record fourth Olympic berth for a distance runner.

The swivel chair in metal and black leather was flown from New York to Iceland and put on the stage in the Reykjavik chess hall Sunday. Spasskys Russian advisers arrived shortly after the much talked about chair and studied it suspiciously. Then they left without comment. Now the Icelandic organizers face a new problem: Where to find a similar chair in Iceland? It would look better if both Spassky and Fischer had the same chairs, said Gudmundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic Chess Federation.

Fischer took one look at the dozen different chairs the Icelanders had assembled from Reykjaviks furniture stores the other day, sat down in some of them and then gave his verdict: Fly in my own chair. Spassky, the 35-year-old world champion, did not seem Bob Bass to coach in Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -Chicago sports baron Charles O. Finley during the weekend named Bob Bass as coach of the Memphis American Basketball Association franchise, officially acquired Thursday by Finley. Bass, 43, is the former coach of the ABA Floridians of Miami, now disbanded by the league, and is the man who convinced Finley to purchase the financially-troubled Memphis team.

Finleys naming Saturday of Bass to the coaching slot was not unexpected. Bass has been mentioned again and again in past weeks as the probable coach or general manager for Memphis. The two men met earlier this year when Bass was attempting to save the Floridians from doom. Finley would not go along with that idea, but he and Bass hit if off quickly and Bass later talked millionaire Finley into acquiring the Memphis Pros. Bass has been in coaching for over two decades on the high school, collegiate and professional level.

The past season with the Floridians was his only losing one a 36-52 record. to worry much about details of the $250,000 match. Before leaving for a salmon fishing tour of northern Iceland the defending champion said, I am not going to argue about chairs, chess boards and sets. I will leave that to Bobby. It makes no difference to me.

After lengthy and dramatic preludes, both Fischer and Spassky appeared ready to start the first of their 24 games Tuesday. Bobby is relaxed and ready. We will play Tuesday unless Spassky is ill, said Fred Cramer, vice president of the U.S. Chess Federation. But the players still have to inspect and approve the facilities in the hall, where the organizers expect 3,000 fans paying $5 each to be on hand Tuesday.

Gudmundur Arnlaugsson, deputy referee of the match, spent all day Sunday polishing off the fine details. He tested several chess boards and finally settled for one made in Iceland specially for the match. It has been put together from Icelandic stones. Arnlaugsson, who had to take over when the chief referee Lothar Schmid of Germany flew home Saturday, also has a choice of five or six different chess sets of various sizes. Schmid said he would return Thursday after visiting his son, who was injured in a traffic accident.
