Russians NEW YORK-(NBA Russians have been committing international crimes for so lies and political propaganda all over the world, cheating at sport. 1 has to stop them.

I've been chosen," said Bobby Fischer. "I intend to teach them a little humility." The 28-year-old U.S. chess champion, Fischer, a high school dropout, will meet the world champion, Boris Spasky of the Soviet Union, for the title sometime before June 30. The match will continue for 24 games spread over about two months. Ten cities have put in bids, the top ones coming from Yugoslavia (offering a total prize of $152,000) and from Argentina He and Spassky must agree on the site, if there is an impasse, the international federation will decide.

"The Russians didn't put in a bid," said Fischer. "They knew I'd never go there to play. I know they'd be waking me up at six in the morning to tell me my laundry was ready." It was not 2 in the afternoon, in a midtown Italian Fischer talked about the Russians over breakfast (he stays up very late going over chess moves in his hotel room). Now and then, he lifted large forkfuls of stringy spaghettini Into his mouth. "I just read an attack on me by Botvinnlk, the ex-world champion, in a Russian magazine," continued Fischer.

"He said he was writing it in the interest of truth. He said I was capricious, conceited, paranoid, that I lacked principles and was not sufficient as a human being. He said he would substantiate the charges, 'But what would be he said. I'm sick of their hypocrisy. "Like when I beat Petrosian There was just this little squib There was just this little dquib in their papers about it.

But there was a local championship that they put in headlines. If Petrosian had beaten me, then there would have been headlines." Fischer's bitter attitude toward the Russians is made up of three parts: money, recognition and fair play. He believes that, since the Russian government pays its chess players, he had been systematically excluded from earning money in world tournaments and exhibitions; that the Russians influenced NHL Roundup ST. (AP) The National Hockey League's board of governors took the easy way out of its realignment hassle and now Long Island and Atlanta, the two newest member clubs, know what they 're up against. After kicking aground various suggestions to divide the 16 clubs into four divisions of four teams each, the governors chose the simple solution of assigning the new teams to the already existing East and West Divisions.

Long Island got the short end of the straw by being jentenced it will compete with five pre- expansion established teams along with Buffalo and Vancouver. Atlanta was NFL Slate Announced By Oilers HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Oilers of the National Football League announced their 1972 pre-seaaon schedule today with four of the six games set for the Astrodome. The Oilers will play four National Conference teams, opening up Aug 5 with the Dallas Cowboys at the Cowboy's Irving stadium. On Aug- 10. a Thursday, the Oilers host the Chicago Bears in the Astrodome and on Aug.

"I consider that this con- situtes a commitment for two seasons through 1974-75 when we will add two more teams," said Clarence Campbell, president of the NHL.

"I'm quite satisfied with the arrangement. My personal preference was the other way but remember, it's not my dollars at stake. I understand why they weren't for it." Campbell said ail but one of the 14 member clubs had agreed on a proposed realignment into four divisions of four teams each last November when Long Island and Atlanta were first granted franchises. But unanimous approval is needed to put any realignment into affect. "Some clubs changed their minds," said Campbell.

"I think as many as six were opposed to the four division concept. And two clubs were most assertive in their opposition." Long Island and Atlanta were permitted to sit in on the governors' meeting as nonvoting but most interested spectators. Their opinions were not solicited. "They were not asked," said Campbell, "they were assigned" The league president said he thought some of the opposition to the realignment into four divisions would have meant in two years when the NHL adds two more teams, another shuffle dividing 18 clubs would have to be faced.

Cwyler 669-3353 unfavorable world opinion ot him, and that was the object of Russian cheating conpiracies in past tournaments. (Yet, his outspokenness, perhaps even more than his supreme skill, has made him the only recognized chess name to most Americans.) "They would send top Russian players globe-trotting to play free in places where I was asking for thousands of dollars," said Fischer. "Well I've finally broken through this. But for about a year and eight months in 1969 and 1970, I was pretty discouraged. I refused to play the they have most of the best players in the world.

For a time I was thinking of quitting international chess. But then I thought, what else can I do? The answer was, nothing." Fischer entered two other world championship tournaments. The first, he quit when he accused the Russian players of rigging games between give one of their own points with ties to beat Fischer's total. Another time he walked out when he accused them of rigging the schedule. Fischer is angry because, he says, he has been the world's best chess player since he waa 18, and has had little recognition and, expecially, has not become wealthy as befits a champion, as, in fact, befits the world's greatest all-time player, according to a rating system of the.

international chess federation. "I was even put down in my own country," said Fischer. "Americans really don't know much about chess. So they' listened to other people, "The United States is not a cultural country. The people here want to be entertained.

They don't want any mental strain, and chess is a high intellectual form. Americans want to plunk in front of a TV, and not have to open a book, "But now, President Nixon just sent me a letter saying that America is backing me. The United States is getting kicked around in the'world. I'm representing us, the entire free world, in fact, in a kind of grudge match against the Communists." Monopoly Ruling Strikes ABA-NBA WASHINGTON (AP) -The National Basketball Association knows of complaints that a team owner may be connected to organized crime and is investigating the situation, Commissioner Walter Kennedy says. Kennedy made the statement Tuesday in an exchange with Sen.

Sam. J. Ervin whose Senate subcommittee on antitrust and monopoly, is studying a bill to exempt antitrust laws and permit the leagues to merge. The panel postponed further testimony until Feb. 22.

Ervin questioned Kennedy after an assertion by another congressmen, Rep. Sam Steiger, that Cincinnati Royals' owner Jerry Jacobs had organized crime links through a holding company called Emprise Corp. Replying to Ervin's query about what action, if any was being taken on the matter, Kennedy said: "I deeply resent the inference that the office of the commissioner of the NBA is totally unaware of what is going on and not doing anything about it." "We're not turning our back on it," Kennedy told Ervin. Steiger, a surprise witness, said Emprise operates a number of subsidiaries known as "Sportservices." "Their history," Steiger said of Jacobs and his brother, Max, operating head of the Royals, "is replete with reports of business associations with underworld and organized crime figures." Also testifying on the merger bill was American Basketball Commissioner Jack Dolph who said pro basketball's troubles had moved into the critical stage. Citing the heavy deficits that ABA owners were incurring in the battle for high priced college stars, Dolph said "to lose sights of the main issue at hand, the merits of the merger, can sound the death knell of professional league basketball as we know it today, as surely as if relief were denied."

The Shockers placed four men in double figures with tall Damon DeWitt leading the way with IS points. The young eager hit the Amarillo school the hardest of the four double figured Pampans as Randy Warner came up with 14 points, Richard Stowers with eleven and A. J. Brewer had 10.

Brewer, small for a basketball player, makes up in desire for what he lacks in height. His defensive moves strike terror into the hearts of the opponents and last night his scoring started to hit the mark. Danny Nickleberry pushed through nine points for the young Pampa team and kept the pressure on throughout the evening. Warner could be given the blue ribbon for rebounding last night as he pulled in off the boards against the Tascosa group. High point man for the Amarillo cagers was Jeff Hamilton with 14 points.

The Shockers opened up the game with a first period 16 to 8 edge and went to the showers at halftime with a 35 to 19 lead. The third period the Shockers kept the ball moving well as they entered the final minutes of play with a 51 to 36 edge. The Shockers are entered in the Phillips Junior Varsity Invitational Basketball tournament this Thursday and Saturday and will be meeting Childress at 5:30 p.m. The Pampa Sophomores are also entered in the clash with their first game against the Phillips Sophomores at 8:30 p.m. Thursday night.

Cage Clash Contains Big Basketball Braid MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.

(APi Wayne Duke, Big Ten commissioner, ordered Minnesota and Ohio State officials to confer with him today on a brawl that stopped a basketball game between the schools Tuesday night, leaving two players hospitalized. The game waa halted with 36 seconds to play, and Ohio State was awarded a 5044 victory that gave the sixth- ranked Buckeyes first place in the Big Ten race with a 40 record and dropped Kith- ranked Minnesota to 4-1. Three Ohio State basketball players were taken to University of Minnesota hospital after the Luke Witte and Mark Miner and reserve Mark Wagar. The 7-foot Witte and Wagar were held overnight for observation. Witte suffered lacerations over his chin and eyebrows.

Wagar also had a cut over his eye. X-rays showed there were no serious injuries. Taylor and Coach Bill Musselman of Minnesota had differing views on what triggered the fight before a crowd of 17,775 at Williams Arena. "Three Minnesota players were bad mouthing our boys at the Taylor. Musselman said Witte hit Minnesota guard Bob Nix, 63, on the head as the half ended.

"We went up eight points as the game was ending," said Taylor. This, Taylor felt, frustrated the Gophers. Just before the fight broke out, Nix hit a long jump shot to pull the Gophers to 5044. The fight erupted 11 seconds later, under the Ohio State basket. Witte was going in for a shot when Clyde Turner fouled him, and officials ejected Turner from the game, Minnesota's Corky Taylor said Witte spit at him when he went over to help the Buckeye player up off the floor.

At this point, witnesses said, Taylor kneed Witte in the groin. Within seconds, nearly every player from both teams was out on the floor throwing punches. Police swarmed onto the floor as the fight broke out, pulling players apart and stopping some fans who stormed onto the court. Duke said he regretted that "the situation marred an Big Ten contest. After consultation with both baches, it was decided in the best interest of safety'for the players and fans to llerminate the game at that pont."
