ROWING—At the world championships in Lucerne, Switzerland, NEW ZEALAND scored an upset victory in the men's heavyweight eight finals, while REICHE RUDIGER won the single sculls to lead a strong East German showing. IRINA FETISOVA won the women's sculls, and her teammates triumphed in the eight as the U.S.S.R. dominated women's competition, winning five of six gold medals. Americans won six medals, including silvers in the women's four and eight and the lightweight singles (Scott Roop) and doubles (Paul Fuchs and William Belden).

SOCCER—Distribution problems plagued New York as the NASL's best-of-three playoffs got under way. After a scoreless first half against Tulsa, the Cosmos struck upon an embarrassment of riches: five unanswered goals. Giorgio Chinaglia, the league's alltime scoring leader, headed home the gamer at 47:27 and added another goal and an assist. In Tulsa three days later, however, the Cosmos' coffers were bare, and the Roughnecks handed them only their second shutout of the season, 1-0 on Njego Pesa's first-half goal. The thrifty 'Necks managed to hang on for the final 36 minutes with just 10 men on the field, Defender Billy Caskey having been ejected for tripping. At week's end, the results of the other three quarterfinal series were similarly ambiguous. After a relatively easy 4-2 win at home, behind Peter Ward's two goals and an assist, the Sounders dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to the Blizzard when a shot glanced off Sounder Defender Ray Evans and rolled into his own net for an own-goal. Montreal and Ft. Lauderdale split a pair of games in overtime, the Manic prevailing in the first, 3-2, and the Strikers taking the second in Montreal, 1-0. San Diego scored on a Cosmic scale to defeat Vancouver 5-1 in their first matchup, but then recalled the 'Mos' less impressive second-game output with a 1-0 loss of their own.

TENNIS—Unseeded LEIGH ANN THOMPSON defeated Bettina Bunge 7-6, 6-3 to win her first tournament, a $100,000 event in Mahwah, N.J.
