JANE BLALOCK'S FATHER Section Saturday, July 1, 1972 Ryun Qualifying Half -Mile Heat EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Jim Rvun, who hasnt run the half-mile regularly uVeJears' won his semifinal heat the 800 meters yesterday in the U.S. Mens Olympic Track and Field trials. Ryun, primarily a miler for most of his career, was timed in 1:47.3 for the 800, the metric equivalent of the half-mile.

The 25-year-old former Kansas star is shooting for berths on the Olympic team in both the 800 'and 1,500 meter events. Ken Swenson, the American record holder at 800 also qualified for tonight's finals. He finished second In the second heat behind Rick Wolhutter of Chicago. Both were timed at 1:47.2. The top-rated American in the half-mile last year, Juris Luzins, succumbed to a foot injury, finishing last in the second heat in 1:55.

Tom Van Ruden was fifth in his race and failed to advance. Mark Winzenried, another top 800-meterman, was eliminated in Thursday's quarterfinals. A pair of 19-year-old college freshmen won their heats in the 100-meter dash. Ray Robinson of Florida A and Marshall Dill of Michigan State each advanced into today's semifinals, with Robinson running 10.0 with an aiding wind in the first round and Dill running 10.0 in the second round. Joining the two as quarter-final heat winners were Warren Edmonson, the NCAA champ from UCLA, and Robert Taylor, the Texas Southern senior who won the National AAU title two weeks ago.

U.S. Army Capt. Mel Pender also qualified. John Craft, who whipped world record holder Victor Saneyev of Russia indoors earlier this year, led qualifiers in the triple jump. The two-time defending AAU champ in the event, Craft, sailed 55 feet with a 10.3 mile-per-hour wind.

Gusts to 15 miles an hour hit the track. All triple jumps and 100-meter races were aided by excessive wind, wiping out Taylor's time of 9.9 seconds In his heat, which would have equalled the world mark. But the wind was nearly nine miles an hour at that point. Jay Silvester led discus qualifiers with a fine throw of 211-2 and John Powell of the Pacific Coast Club did 201-0. Silvester, the world record holder, took only two throws to qualify, while Craft took just one jump.

Dr. Delano Meriwether couldn't stay with the youngsters in the 100. The Har- vard hematologist made It through the first round but finished last in the quaf ter-finals. Dave Wottle of Bowling Green joined Ryun for the 800 finals, clocking 1:47.4 while running third in Ryun's heat. Marcel Philippe of Fordham was second with the same time.

In the second heat, Ron Phillips of Illinois and Tommy Fulton of Texas Southern also made it, to the finals. Fulton lost his right shoe with Vi laps left in the two-lap test but nevertheless ran fourth in 1:47.4. Ryun said he has "boon thinking for two years" about running both the and the 1,500 meters in the Olympics this year. Wottle, on the other hand, said he is running the 800 here as insurance. He intends to run only the 1,500 at Munich if he qualifies in that event here.

Charlie Greene, one of the co-world record-holders in the 100-yard dash, failed to move up in the 100 meters. The veteran ran fifth in the quarter-final round in 10.2. Other top sprinters making it to the semifinals include Gerald Tinker of Kent, State, 10.1; Larry Burton of Purdue, 10.2; Willie Deckard of Southern California, 10.3, Giants Rip 84 "I've just been lucky recently," he said. Bryan), now fi-4, was simply crafty. Coasting behind an early 6-0 lead, the former Redlands resident yielded all four runs on a rare Dodger weapon the home run.

Wes Parker wrecked Bryant's bid for a shutout, with a two-run homer in the sixth inning and Chris Cannizzaro socked another in the eighth inning after Parker walked.

Unfortunately for them, however, they played much like they aren't going to be a part of it, losing to the Giants in an 8-4 slugfest. Withering under a issued by the Giants' Ron Bryant, the Dodgers remained mired in third place of the National League West, trailing front-running Cincinnati and Houston. While most of the Dodgers' problems stem from a young infield that kicks the ball around the park, Bryant and the Giants romped behind a group of youngsters that hit it out of breezy Candlestick Park.

Chris Rpeicr, Howarlh and Alan Gallagher all rocked home runs for the Giants. think it's just a thing of momentum and everything is just, falling in," said Speier, who triggered the. barrage of long balls. "I'm nevpr going to be someone who hits 30 or so a season. Slarlcr Allen Gels No Relief From Rangers ARLINGTON Lloyd Allen, who often solves the Angels' problems, kept some for himself last night.

Making his first start of the season, the No. 1 California rdief specialist wound up in plenty of self-made trouble, suffering a defeat at. the hands of the Texas Rangers. Texas unleashed an II hit attack against the Angrls, Including five off Allen, to lift starter Rick Hand to the win before fans on a warm night at Arlington Stadium. One of the hottest, things going for the Rangers was Ted Ford, who homered, doubled and singled.

"I've been hitting the ball good," said Ford, who ended a slight slump, "but, I didn't find the holes until tonight." The Angels found few openings against Hand, 5-5, or reliever Paul Lindblad, who look over in the sixth and registered his fourth save. With the loss, Allen's record dropped lo 2-4; five runs marred his 2.11 earned run average, although he limited Texas to just two hits over the first three innings. Allrn's effectiveness vanished rapidly, however. It ended completely In the fifth as did his appearance when Ford and Larry Rittner cracker) hack-to-back home runs for a V2 Texas lead. Alirn had allowed the Rangers, the only trailing the Angels in the American League West, to come from behind after Jim Spencer's bases-loaded single scored Vada Pinson and Andy Koscn for a 2 0 Anzel edge in the third inning.

He says there is so little to do there, particularly at night, a guy ran go out of his everloving mind. Not that Fischer is a rounder. If anything, he's much morp nf a loner, but. there are times he would like to hecome part nf the general mix, or at, least observe it, and how can he possibly do that when there is no general mix? He also says thp television rnverage will be limitpd.

Rut neither heat nor smog nor even the fact it's only July 1 in deterring a group of high school and college football players from getting the autumn ball rolling a little early. More than 50 players, Including Clyde Dunlap, right, have been working out five nights a week in San Bernardino Valley College's summer weightlifting program under the coaching staff's supervision. In addition to the weight-lifting program, a new recreational football program is being tried.

Athletes like La Count Jones, left, of San Gorgonio, and players planning lo report for SRVC varsity ball in the fall compete. The program, which is being funded by Valley College, is actually required for team members, but open to all ath-etes planning to attend Valley In the fall. Eight area high schools are participating. Digs Sun-Tlgrm pholo by Greg Schneldur Mainly because he thinks he's going to I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's right, and that has nothing to do with chauvinism. Spassky is good, but Fischer is better, and when the tall, curly-haired New Yorker is right, he's like Joe Frazier and Tom Seaver when they'rp right.

Meaning nobody's going to beat him. Fischer doesn't hold back. He is exceptionally outspoken and honest, and when you hear his objections to playing In Reykjavik they do make a good dpal nf sppsp.

Why Reykjavik, Iceland? "Why not Rome?" Fischer would like to know. "Why not Paris, Oslo, Zurich, Dallas or New York? Or even Moscow? Any large city where there are people, activity and decent restaurants would be fine. Someplace at least where there's something to do at night." Bonny Fischer, America's 29-year-old chess genius, has a theory about why Reykjavik was picked as the site of the world championship which is to Jftart tomorrow. mm to he National League Nlllltnul LKqilD Ptt. in JS VOI 41 Chicuqo .17 Loiik .14 .1.1 Ml 1 Mmlrnt 74 1 .4.1.1 PhllHlphl 74 47 ..14 14' Wml rinrlnnnfl 41 77 nn.l Hnintnn 41 I AnolM A'isnU .11 I 41M Sun Frnrlvo 4 ..17 Sn Diego 74 4 4 VS3 1 Ylriiy'i RMilti Sin Dlqr I.

Psych the world championships with only one other person; Spassky is already in Reykjavik with what amounts to an entourage.

Fischer reads significance into that also because the rhampionship goes on for some time and while Spassky will have people to talk to and help him relax, Fischer won't. Fischer doesn't, think any of these things are pure accidents. He. sees them all as part of a general program by the Soviets to try to beat him psychologically. "The world champion has the right to pick the site of the championships," (Continued on 2, Column 3) in Against Russian The Russians are the ones who picked Reykjavik.

Fischer thinks the Russians have a motive. He thinks they want to "hide" the championship because he feels he's going to take it from the Soviet Union's Roris Spassky. What's more, Fischer thinks the Russians know he's going do it. In his own way, Fischer is a demonstrator. He has been demonstrating the way feels about having to play in Reykjavik by taking his good old time getting there.

Thts hM shaken up i lnt of people Commentary but Fischer had a reason for his action. Call it oneupsmanship if you like. Boris Spassky needn't worry about Fischer not making it for their first Bobby Hull match tomorrow though. Bobby Hull may or may not play for Ihe Winnipeg Jets next season and Pick Barry may or may not play for the Golden State Warriors, but therp is no way Bobby Fischer ever is going to miss playing for th world of rhpss.
