THEY SQUEEZE. THEY'RE READY TO PLEASE. 2:00 SUNDAY THURSDAY CHILDREN FREE (AT ALL TIMES) THE FIRST EPIC HORROR FILM Jack Kroll, Newsweek Magazine NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) The losing streak ended Wednesday for Ted Turn-. er as the successful 1977 America's Cup defender skippered Courageous to three wins over Russell Long's Clipper in pre- liminary defense sailing trials.

"Can't lose them all, you know," said the flamboyant Turner, assessing his day's work on Rhode Island Sound. It was a dramatic turnaround for Turner, who had lost six of seven races since the trials began Saturday two to Long and four to Dennis Conner aboard Freedom. Turner's margins of victory were a I whopping 1:37 minutes in the first race and 20 and 28 seconds in the second and third races, repectively.

(AP) Moxie is no longer just a word for guts and perseverance. It's also the name of a sleek, white-hulled trimaran whose skipper, Philip Weld, finished the Observer Single-Handed Transatlantic Race in record time Wednesday.

The 65-year-old retired newspaper -publisher sailed Moxie across the finish lline off Brenton Reef Tower at 8:12 la.m., just 17 days, 23 hours and 12 min-rutes after setting sail from Plymouth, England. broke the record, set in 1972 by rAlain Colas in Pen Duick Four, by -about two days 14 hours. "The message I'd like to convey, if I -have a chance, is that preparedness is Jail," said Weld of his solo sail. "It is the prepared who have the "chance to do it as easily and comfortably as I did." Weld, of Gloucester, was first sighted in the fog about five miles from the finish line, sailing with Moxie's port pontoon riding high out of the water. Grinning, waving an American flag looking fit.

Weld gave a thumbs up I sign as he sped toward the finish, es--corted by a small armada of pleasure -boats. Moxie reached the line, the sight-seeing boats tooted their horns. CWeld, wearing a blue and red safety harness and a tan sweater, tooted back on his hand-held air horn, signaling the Morse code letter for victory. None of the estimated 100 other competitors was in sight. "My Lordy.

I've been preparing for this for 10 years," beamed Weld. "I've had a couple of bad shots at it, and you know, the third time never fails." Asked if he encountered any problems. Weld said a halyard gave way but was easily replaced. "I think I was covered in every department except an unmerciful thing; I 'didn't have the right size dry cell batteries for my tape recorder. So posterity is spared that." Was Weld bored sailing 17 days by "Well, I've never had boredom as one my problems," he answered.

"My -God, I've been working a 20-hour day. I -really have." Weld said he would make up a sched-ule early in the morning, listen to BBC race reports, and then monitor several weather forecasts. Weld, at a news conference on Goat Island, dedicated the race to Colas, who was lost at sea in the 1978 Route du Rhum solo race. Reading from his log entry of last Saturday, Weld said: "Breaking the record was in the cards. While you (reporters) have been 'watching the 12 meters (America's Cup yachts) doing the same old thing a drill in driving stage coaches the best brains have been heaving this race." Weld said he could not credit 'great seamanship" for his transatlantic vic- tory.

Instead, he lauded his teachers for preparing him for the grueling race. I Brewers top A's I OAKLAND, Calif.
