Two Swedish teams have advanced to the quarterfinals in the Vivendi Rosenblum Teams. The team captained by Magnus Lindkvist outsted George Jacobs of the United States, 183-80, and P.O. Sundelin's squad eliminated the only remaining Polish team, captained by A. Zakrzewski, 111-88.

Both halves of both Italian teams played the first set of boards in the same direction, so the results had to be discarded. They played the set again after everyone else had left, and the winner was Francesco Angelini, 167-64, over Bernasconi.

In the match between the teams captained by Bart Bramley of the United States and Maurice Joffe of South Africa, Joffe withdrew after the third quarter. Bramley was the victor, 154-68.

Today's quarterfinal matches:

McConnell: Auken vs. Wood And Erhart vs. Truscott

Two American teams and one each from Austria and Germany will contest today's Louis Vuitton McConnell Teams semifinals.

The American team captained by Nadine Wood survived their match with Véronique Bessis of France, but just barely. The final margin was 12, 129-117, but one of the French pairs had the chance to turn the match around on the very last board. If they had bid a slam, they would have picked up 13 IMPs and won the match by 1.

China, after reaching the final of the Venice Cup a year ago, succumbed this time in the semis to the powerful Austrian team captained by Maria Erhart. It was close --the final score was 166-147.

In the all-U.S. match, Dorothy Truscott was the victor over Karen Allison. And the German team captained by Sabine Auken eliminated another American team, this one captained by John Solodar.

In today's semifinals, Erhart will play Truscott and Auken will battle Wood, setting up a possible all-American or all-European final.

2 Polish teams reach Senior Swiss semis

The Polish teams captained by Andrzej Orlow and S. Szenberg both qualified for today's semifinals in the Senior Teams. Orlow, who finished first, will play Karl Rohan of Austria. Szenberg, who finished third, will oppose Robert Rosen of the United States.

The semifinals will consist of 28 boards. In the afternoon the winners will play a 28-board final. The teams that failed to qualify will play four more Swiss matches today to determine additional placings.
