IMS, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE British unveil A HAMBLE, England (AP) In a plush red-carpet ceremony. Princess Diana on Wednesday unveiled "Crusader," the first of two British yachts that will challenge for the 1987 America Cup. Team officials vowed to win the coveted trophy for the first time. "I name this yacht Crusader.

God bless her, and all who sail in her," said the Princess, drawing back a velvet drape to reveal the sleek white hull of the 12-meter yacht. Crusader, designed by naval architect Ian Howlett, is the first of two aluminum craft being built at this picturesque marina on the English south coast for the America's Cup challenge. The other British boat, which officials say is of a more radical, almost revolutionary design, is still under construction and due to be completed early next year. Both yachts will be shipped to Australia in the spring. Trials for the event, being held off Fremantle near Perth, begin in October next year, with the final series of races scheduled for January, 1987.

information percent, from 8V in 1983 to 103 in 1984, Duberstein said. He saiu that while the average number of injuries per week on grass remained constant, the rate on artificial turf went up 36 percent, from 50 in 1983 to 68 the following season. Duberstein said that while the same number of games wereplayed in both seasons, there was a significant difference in playing conditions because two teams the New York Jets and the Colts moved from grass to synthetic fields. The injury rates were higher on outdoor synthetic surfaces than on those enclosed in domed stadiums, he said. And the two-year study found that the average injury to players lasted 10 percent longer when it was incurred on artificial turf than hen it happend on grass, Duberstein said.

Murray 0lderman By Murray Olderman NEW YORK (NEA) A pair of exceptional runners one a heralded senior, the other a surprising sophomore carry the ball for the 1985 All-America football team chosen by Newspaper Enterprise Association. Bo Jackson, surely the college player of the year in his final season at Auburn, was an obvious choice with his average of 6.7 yards gained every time he tucked the ball in the crook of his elbow. Lorenzo White, the stumpy second year star for Michigan State, gained more yards (1,908) than any sophomore in the history of varsity football. He offers resounding proof that Ail-Americans aren't-created by pre-sea-son hype. Chosen every season since mf NEA's team is the nation's oldest ex- isting All-America football squad.

The 21-year-old swede, aiming to win the $1.5 million grass court tournament for the third straight year, led the unseeded Zivojinovic 7-5, 6-1, 0-1 when tournament referee Peter Bellenger called the players from the court.

The winner of the match will meet the winner of the second semifinal scheduled Friday between top-seed Ivan Lendl of Czechoslovakia and fifth-seeded Stefan Edberg of Sweden, in Sunday's final. Top-seeded Chris Evert Lloyd and No. 2 seed Martina Navratilova will battle for the women's title Saturday, the 67th time the two have met on a tennis court.

The research director for the National Football League Players Association charged Wednesday that the league is supressing information about player injuries this season in response to union criticism of artificial turf fields.

M.J. Duberstein said NFL statistics showed that the injury rate after eight games this season was 25 percent below the level at the same point in the 1984 season. And the number of injured players listed as "probable" for each week's games has decreased by 40 percent, he said. "Now, I'm neither a medical practitioner nor a seer, but I do know enough to say that players are not so tough this season that they are not suffering those so-called minor injuries," Duberstein told re ma Linebacker SHANE CON-LAN.

Air Force Back ALLEN DUR-DEN. Arizona Back DAVID FULCHER, Arizona State Back ROD WOODSON, Purdue Punter RAY CRISWELL. Florida The repeaters from last year's NEA All-America team are Williams, Casil-las and Fulcher. This year's prospects didn't neces sarily have to play on national cham- pionship contenders to attract the at- tention of the football coaches, scouts and writers who were consulted for the NEA all-star brigade. This was an outstanding year for offensive linemen, and three of them tackle Dombrowski of Virginia and guards Rienstra of Temple and Bregel of Southern California played on teams with so-so records.

Defensive back Woodson also was a standout on a struggling Purdue team. The closest competition for a first-team All-America position was at quarterback. Long of Rose Bowl-bound Iowa, had to ward off Big Ten rival Jim Everett of Purdue and Vinnie Testaverde of Miami as well as Robbie Bosco of pass-happy Brigham Young. Several football teams offered dual NEA All-America prospects (with a slight edge going to the first-named in each case): linebackers Spielman and Pepper Johnson of Ohio State; line- backers Conlan and Rogers Alexander of Penn State; and offensive linemen Bregel and James FitzPatrick of USC. The Oklahoma defense had three blue-chip performers in nose tackle Casillas, end-linebacker Murphy and linebacker Brian Bosworth.

The 280-pound Casillas is considered the dominant defensive lineman in college football.

The men's title match will be held on Sunday. The fifth-seeded Edberg, 19, defeated Dutchman Michiel Schapers 6-0, 7-5, 6-4 in the quarterfinals Thursday, showing that he has finally discovered his grass' court form. That victory boosted Edberg into the meeting with Lendl.

Lendl cruised into the semifinals Thursday with a 7-6, 6-2, 6-1 victory over English Davis Cup player John Lloyd. Both Evert Lloyd, the defending champion, and Navratilova, who won here in 1983, struggled through semifinal matches Thursday to earn a meeting that will also decide which of them is ranked No. 1 for the year. Evert Lloyd had to survive a set point against her in the second set of her 6-1, 7-6 triumph over fifth-seeded Claudia Kohde-Kilsch of West Germany, while Navratilova edged home 6-7, 6-1, 6-4 in a thriller against third-seeded Hana Mandlik-ova of Czechoslovakia. supressing presentatives of the New Jersey Turfgrass Association during a seminar on athletic fields.

"At any rate, that sort of response distorting the injury statistics it's like putting the thermometer in ice water to kill the fever. That type of response is what should be expected from the league," he said. Joe Browne, NFL director of communications, said from his New York office that Duberstein's accusation was "absolutely false" and that the injury reports are for informational purposes, not for the basis for a statistical survey. In January, the players associa-' tion released a study of injury rates on natural turf and on synthetic surfaces in the 1983 and 1384 football seasons, using data from weekly injury reports issued by the NFL.

Tucson outbid Austin, Texas, Irvine, and New Haven, for the meet, to be held June 26-28. The recommendation of Tucson also has to be approved by the joint men's and women's committee.
