A Roundup Of The Sports Information Of The Week

BOATING—Mustachioed ROBERT (Ted) TURNER III of Atlanta skippered his 12-meter yacht American Eagle to first place overall and in Class A in the 473-mile Annapolis-to-Newport ocean race. Huey Long's big ketch Ondine, which finished second 20 minutes later, had swapped the lead with the Luders-built winner for much of the race.

BOXING—Light-heavyweight Champion BOB FOSTER, of Washington, D.C., opened a gash above challenger Levan Roundtree's eye with a right hand in the fourth round of a scheduled 10-round non-title bout in Atlanta, defeating the New Yorker by a TKO.

CHESS—In a major upset, BORIS SPASSKY, 32, outmaneuvered the defending titlist and fellow Russian, Tigran Petrosian, to gain the world championship 12� to 10� in Moscow.

COLLEGE BASEBALL—Larry Gura, a confident senior lefthander from Joliet, Ill., held Tulsa to six hits in a 10-1 victory to lead ARIZONA STATE to its third NCAA baseball championship in five years, in Omaha (page 48). The Sun Devils had scored a record number of victories for a college season (56) while losing only 11 games

GOLF—Denver's DALE DOUGLASS, 33, ahead after the third round with 207, shot a five-under-par 67 on the last 18 to win the $150,000 Kemper Open at Charlotte, N.C. Douglass pulled away from Charles Coody on the sixth hole with a birdie, then birdied the 10th, 14th, 15th and 18th to defeat Coody by four strokes.

HARNESS RACING—OVERCALL ($2.60), owned by Mrs. Helen Buck and driven by Del Insko, won the $50,000 National Championship Pace at Yonkers Raceway in two minutes flat to complete a sweep of the $159,500 International Pacing series.

Bill Popfinger, driving Buttonwood Tree Farm's 5-year-old LADY B. FAST ($23.80) in the $25,000 Volomite Trot at Yonkers, kept heavily favored Nevele Pride parked out for nearly half a mile "to take a bit of the sting out of him," then eased back behind him, but caught up again in the closing brush to win by a nose over Fresh Yankee in 2:00[4/5], who in turn beat Nevele Pride by 2� lengths. For Nevele Pride, the Harness Horse of the Year for 1967 and 1968 and third highest American money-winner in harness history, it was only his seventh defeat in 56 starts.

HORSE RACING—Mrs. Whitney Stone's SHUVEE ($2.60) became the second filly to win the distaff Triple Crown, outracing Hail to Patsy by three lengths in the $119,625 Coaching Club American Oaks at Belmont Park.

In the stretch of the 1�-mile, $100,000 Hollywood Park Turf Handicap William Hawn's Poleax chopped FORT MARCY's lead and drew even, but Paul Mellon's turf-loving gelding, ridden by Manuel Ycaza, persisted to win by 1� lengths and pay $4.40.

The expert hands of Braulio Baeza guided the Cain Hoy Stables' ACK ACK ($5.20) to a 4�-length victory over King of the Castle in the $111,800 Arlington Classic mile at Arlington Park, with Fast Hilarious third and Dike fourth.
