LACKLUSTER EXHIBITION:
Fischer, Spassky draw
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (IP) -
Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky
drew a dull ninth game yester-
day in their world title chess
match, leaving the American still
two points up in his effort to
wrest the crown from the -Sov-
iet champion.
The competitors agreed to the
draw at the 30th move and ex=
perts agreed the outcome could
provide a vital boost to Spass-
::ky's morale after his crushing
defeat in the eighth game last
Thursday.
Each player got half a point
for the draw. The score now
stands at 5%/-31/ in Fischer's
favor, with a possible 15 games
remaining in the world champ-
ionship match. Game 10 will be
played tomorrow.
Fischer, 29, can now afford to
lose only one game, drawing
the rest to gain the 12' points

a cold, but it was generally
agreed he was buying time to re-
compose himself after four losses
in six preceding outings.
Visiting experts hoped the Sov-
iet champion would come out
fighting to make up lost ground.
International master David Levy
of Britain said, "If Spassky
dosn't win this game, it's a 11
over."
But the game was unexciting.
Danish grandmaster Bent Lar-
sen predicted a draw after only
15 moves, just before Britain's
Harry Golombek said: "If Spass-
ky doesn't suggest a draw, it's
because he's afraid Fischer will
refuse."
Play developed into the Tar-
rasch variation of the queen's
gambit, with w hi c h Spassky
won a 1969 championship game
easily. Playing white with the
first move gave him an initial
slight advantage.
Fischer, usually a fast player,
moved with extreme deliberation.
After 20 minutes thought on the
move, he broke the game out of
the standard pattern, moving
pawn to queen's knight four.
This forced Spassky to with-
draw his bishop - which w as
threatened by Fischer's pae d -
in order to avoid losing it and to
avoid check by the challenger's
queen. The pullback also seemed
to cost the Russian the initia-
tive.
At the 15th move, both sides
had obvious weaknesses, Spass-
ky had an exposed queen and on
unprotected queen's pawn. Fis-
cher had an undefended pawn
on his queenside, attacked by
Spassky's queenside rook. That
was when Larsen predicted the
draw.

IRVINE, Calif. - The San
Diego Chargers have 'acquired
two of the pro football's most
talented and troublesome play-
ers - running back Duane
Thomas and linebacker Tim
Rossovich.
The Dallas Cowboys Monday
night gave up the controversial
Thomas, who missed this
week's practice at Thousand
Oaks, Calif., for wide receiver
Billy Parks and running back
Mike Montgomery.
"We had reached the point
where we had to do some-
thing," said Cowboys. Coach
Tom Landry.

Pistons trade
Walker for
Rocket guard
HOUSTON IP) - The Houston
Rockets and Detroit Pistons of
the National Basketball Associa-
tion traded veteran guards yes-
terday with the Rockets sending
Stu Lantz to the Pistons in ex-
change for Jimmy Walker.
Walker, 28, averaged 21.3
points per game last season and
has been named to the All-Star
squad the past two seasons. He
also had an .827 free throw per-
centage, 10th best in the league.
Walker has a career scoring
average of 16.1 and a career
accuracy mark of .450 from the
field.
t Lantz, 26, had spent his four
years as a pro with the Rockets.
He was Houston's third choice in
the 1968 draft and has a 15.5
career scoring average, includ-
ing an 18.5 mean last season.
It was the third trade by new
Houston President and General
Manager Ray Patterson s i n c e
taking over his new duties. Pat-
terson said he expected Walker
to assume backcourt leadership
of the team.
"Much will be said about Jim-
my's scoring talents but we be-
lieve he will be very effective
in our overall offense. Because
of injuries to front line 'players
in Detroit the past few years
Jimmy has had to assume more
of the scoring burden.
"But we also rate him as one
of the top passers in professional
basketball," Patterson said.
coach of the Chargers, said he
will wait a while for the 25-
year-old Thomas to report.
"He's probably the best run-
ning back since Jimmy Brown,"
added Svare.
Thomas could not be reached
for comment.
For Rossovich, the Chargers
relinquished their No. 1Nation-
al Football League choice of
1973 to the Philadelphia Eagles.

sought a big salary hike and
failed to show up at the Eagles'
training camp.
A spokesman for the Charg-
ers quoted Rossovich as saying
he was "delighted to join the
San Diego club."
T h e Chargers a l s o
announced yesterday they
would receive defensive tac-
kle Dave Costa from the Den-
ver Broncos in return for re-
serve fullback Eddie Ray and
San Diego's No. 3 draft
choice in 1973. Costa earlier
issued a public statement
asking to be traded.

Joe Willie inks
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Flam-
boyant Joe Namath, after sign-
ing a two-year contract yester-
day with the New York Jets, re-
fused to discuss terms of the
agreement, but sources claimed
the package was worth $500,-
000 making him the highest
paid quarterback in pro foot-
ball.
"No figures will be given,"
Namath told a press conference
at the National Football League
team's training camp. "I don't
think that's necessary."
Namath had insisted recently
that he should be paid more
than any other quarterback be-
cause, "I can play better than
anyone else." Asked if the new
contract had fulfilled his wish,
Namath replied, "I don't know.
I've never seen anybody else's
contract."
Flanked by Jets Coach Gen-
eral Manager Weeb Ewbank
and Team President Phil Iselin,
Namath, attired in blue jeans,
sneakers and a kit shirt, said
he "will continue to play as
long as I am able to contribute
to the team. Even if injured,
I'd have another operation and
then come back."

BOSTON () - The leap for
colorful Derek Sanderson from
the National Hockey League's
Boston Bruins to the new

make him the highest paid ath-
1ete in America, his attorney

Derek will sign tomorrow in
Philadlphia, Bob Woolf of Bos-
ton said, making him the third
tuember of the NHL Stanley
Cup champions to jump to the

Woolf declined to give de-
tails of the package, adding that

that," but he said the reported

multi-year contract was realis-
tic.
Sanderson c o u 1 d not be
reached for comment.
"As I've said before it is an
utterly fantastic contract."

been absurd for him not to ac-
