Canine licenses:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) State inspectors who
have been going door-to-door to enforce the state's
18-month-old canine licensing law have raised the
hackles of civil libertarians, who are concerned
about citizens' constitutional rights being violated.
The executive director of the Pennsylvania
American Civil Liberties Union, Barry Steinhardt,
said he is particularly concerned by reports that
agents of the state Agriculture Department may
be entering private homes without warrants or
probable cause in their zeal to enforce the law.
Steinhardt questioned the constitutionality of a
law passed by the 1982 General Assembly that
allows dog wardens and other Agriculture Depart
ment employees to enter private homes, after
identifying themselves, "for the purposes of an
investigation."
The law, which became effective in January
1983, has not been challenged in court. But the

"On preliminary review, we have very grave
concerns that the law is unconstitutional in that it

Steinhardt this week.
In their efforts to get all dogs licensed in the
state, enforcement officials have been going door-.

people's dogs. Owners of dogs without current
licenses are given citations and face fines up to
$3OO. Hundreds of citations are being issued, and
state officials say the crackdown has just begun.
Licenses, which must be renewed annually and
are available at county courthouses, cost $3 for

U.S. captures 6 gold, 3 silver Ist-day medals
By D. BYRON YAKE
AP Sports Editor
LOS ANGELES The United
States fashioned six gold medals
with speed and depth yesterday as
the first day of competition was
truly a day of firsts at the 1984
Summer. Olympics.
With the Soviet Union and most of
its Eastern-bloc allies boycotting
the Games, the United States is
expected to haul in a record number
of medals. And results from opening
day did nothing to dim those hopes.
Steve Lundquist set a world re
cord to win the 100-meter breasts
troke. Tracy Caulkins deprived of
Olympic glory four years ago by the
U.S.-led boycott finally won a
gold, in the women's 400-meter indi
vidual medley. Carrie Steinseifer
and Nancy Hogshead won two gold
medals where one usually hangs,
finishing in a historic dead heat for
first in the women's 100 freestyle.
Those swimming titles were not
unexpected. But the U.S. total even
included two golds in cycling --- in
the women's and men's road races.
The United States had not won any
cycling medal since a bronze in 1912.
The U.S. men's basketball team
didn't win a medal, but it started
play with a lopsided victory over
China.
A Chinese sharpshooter won the
first gold of the Games, but after
that it was a golden day for the
United States. West Germany took
one gold, with swimmer deluxe Mi
chael Gross setting a world record
in the men's 200 freestyle; Canada
had the other gold medal, in wom
en's free pistol, and the gold in the
flyweight class of weightlifting was
being decided.
Overall, the United States had
nine medals six gold, three silver.
West Germany had three bronze
medals to accompany Gross' gold,
and Canada two silvers for a total of
three medals and a tie for third
place in the medals race with Aus
tralia, which had a silver and a
bronze.
China, competing in the Summer
Gamesior the first time since 1952,
hid an impressive start, with a gold
and a bronze, its first medals ever.

China meets with instant Olympic success
By MIKE HARRIS
AP Sports Writer ,
LOS ANGELES Immediate success followed
by perfection were the implausible highlights
yesterday of China's first day of Olympic compe
tition since the 1952 Summer Games.
Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal of the Los
Angeles Olympics and his country's first-ever
Olympic medal, taking the gold in the men's free
pistol competition early in the day. Haifeng
who was an event favorite for a medal, but not
for a gold -- scored a total of 566 out of a possible
600 points in winning the event.
"The shooters knew they had a chance for our
first medal," said team trainer Zhao Changjun
through an interpreter. "They came here,
though, and didn't want to think about it."
That, however, was just the beginning for the
impressive team from the Peoples Republic of
China.
Li Ning scored two perfect lOs and four team
,
mates added flawless marks to boost China to the
lead in the men's team compulsories, opening the
Los Angeles gymnastics competition. Japan also
had two perfect marks.
Li, 20, was second to Japan's Koji Gushiken in
the individual competition, with perfect marks
on the vault and pommel horse. Teammate Tong
It also had a history-making perfor
mance in men's compulsories as
gymnastics got under way. •
In road racing, Connie Carpenter-
Phinney, a Colorado cyclist who
came out of retirement a year ago,
won the gold in the women's road
racing event. Alexi Grewal, a cy
clist from Aspen, Colo. who was
cleared a week ago of using banned
drugs in a pre-Olympic race,
grabbed the gold in the men's event.
Lundquist, of Jonesboro, Ga.,
broke the world record in the 100-
meter breaststroke with a time of 1
minute, 1.65 seconds.
"I felt like the Grinch who stole
Christmas," Lundquist . said after
breaking teammate John Moffett's
old world mark of 1:02.13. The fa
vored Moffett set an Olympic record
of 1:02.16 in yesterday morning's
preliminaries, but finished fifth in
the final after suffering a groin
injury. He swam with his upper
right leg taped.
Hogshead of Jacksonville, Fla.,
and Steinseifer, a 16-year-old from
Saratoga, Calif., had identical times
of 55.92 seconds in the 100-meter
freestyle and each got gold medals.
It was the first time two golds have
ever been given for identical times.
Caulkins, who has broken more
than 60 American records in her
career, won her first Olympic gold
medal, breaking her U.S. record
with a time of 4:39.24 and easily
taking the' 400-meter individual
medley. The event was seriously
affected by the lack of athletes from
Eastern bloc countries boycotting
the Games..
Gross, known as the "Albatross"
because of his enormous wingspan
and 6-7 height, set a world record of
1:47.44 in the 200 freestyle,..while
Mike Heath of Dallas won the silver.
Jeff Float of Sacramento, Calif.,
was fourth.
In gymnastics, Chinese and Japa
nese recorded the first perfect 10s
ever in men's compulsory events.
• The Chinese had been expected to
be strong in men's gymnastics.
They were even better. Li Ning got
two of eight perfect scores awarded,
and four of his teammates got one
apiece—Two Japanese also were
perfect in the judges' eyes.
Fei was third, including a 10 on the high bar.
Other Chinese with perfect marks were: Li
Xiaoping, pommel horse; Lou Yun, vault; Xu
Zhiqiang, horizontal bar.
The talented Chinese are strong favorites to
win the team gold medal, which will be decided
after the optional exercises tomorrow night.
"I feel competing here is very comfortable,"
Lou Yun said. "The crowd treated us very well
and made us welcome. It was much like compet
ing at home."
The performance of each Chinese gymnast
drew cheers from a small but vocal crowd of
supporters seated near the parallel bars and high
bar equipped with a large Chinese flag and
whistles.
And while the trend in gymnastics scoring has
been towards the awarding of more 10s, Li Ning
said a perfect score was still difficult to achieve.
"I feel lOs are not easily gotten," he said
through an interpreter. "I have competed much
and not gotten that many."
About the only ones who weren't impressed
with the Chinese's scores were the Chinese
themselves.
Coach Zhang Jian filed protests , over the low
scores awarded to Lou in the parallel bars and to
Xu in the pommel horse. And he wasn't pleased
with the scoring by judges from the United States
Xu Haifeng and Wang Yifu , of
China gave their country shooting
medals. Xu won the gold in the
men's free pistol competition and
Wang settled for a bronze after a
recount gave the silver medal to
Ragnar Skanaker of SWeden.
Mark Breland, the gold-medal fa
vorite in boxing's 147-pound class
and the only U.S. fighter in action
yesterday, had a hard time winning
his first-round match. He survived a
standing-eight count to decision
Canada's Wayne Gordon.
The powerful U.S. men's basket
ball team opened play and routed
China,-97-49. Michael Jordan had 14
points, while Pat Ewing and Chris
Mullin added 12 apiece for the Unit
ed States.
The U.S. vollleyball team topped
Argentina 15-6, 15-7, 10-15, 15-8 last
night as the men's volleyball compe
tition of the Olympic Games began
at the Long Beach Arena. Earlier in
the day, Japan whipped China 15-9,
15-9, 15-8 and Korea crushed Tunisia
15-7, 15-7, 15-7.
Linda Thom of Canada won the
gold medal in the women's sport
pistol competition, beating out Ruby
Fox of the United States. They were
forced into the shootout to break a
tie after the precision and duel com
petition.
Xu's gold medal was the first of
the Games, but the United States
quickly matched it when Carpenter-
Phinney edged teammate Rebecca
Twigg in the women's 49-mile cy
cling road race: It also was the first
U.S. gold medal ever in Olympic
cycling competition, and the coun
try's first medal in the sport since
Karl Schutte won a bronze in 1912.
"Everybody kept predicting it
(the victory)," Carpenter-Phinney
said. "You know, we came in on the
course today and there was so much
cheering, I told everybody, 'lf we
don't win a medal, we're.gonna have
to crawl out of here.' So, there was
no way we could lose today."
Twigg .said she was "was pretty
astonished after we crossed togeth
er. If I had thought about it, we're
probably the best riders, but any
thing's possible."
Later, Grewal surged through the
final yards to nip Canada's Steve

ABC officials announced that
their ratings on the opening ceremo
nies Saturday were 29.7 with 54
percent of the audience. That com
pared with a 29 share in the opening
ceremonies of the Winter, Olympic's
and an oiernight rating of 34 and a
39 percent audience share of the 1976
Montreal Olympics.
Ratings show the percentage of all
television sets tuned to a particular
program, while shares measure the
percentage of sets in use.
In the free shooting, Xu scored a
total of 566 out of a possible. 600
points in winning the gold.
He had entered the competition as
a favorite for a medal but not the
gold.
The original count had Wang and
Skanaker tied for second with a total
of 564 points. Wang had 32 perfect
scores compared with 28 for Ska
naker, and was listed as the silver
medalist. But a recount gave Sha
naker, the 1972 Olympic champion
and the favorite for a gold here, two
additional points and the silver.
"The shooters knew they had a
chance for our first medal," said
team • trainer Zhao Changjun
through an interpreter.
Breland, from Brooklyn, N.Y.,
took the standing-eight in the second
round of the three-round bout after
Gordon landed an overhand right to
the head that buckled Breland's
knees.
Breland, who now has a 105-1
record, controlled the first round
with his left jab. In the third, he
landed several hard head punches
and forced Gordon to take a stand
ing-eight count just before the bell.
Two of the five judges favored
Breland: by six points, two by five
and one by two.

and Japan, the two countries who wilt try to
derail China's bid for the team gold.
"Theire the judges from Japan and the United
States tended to give lowei scores and we regret
that," he said.
A little gloom was cast on China's otherwise
sunny day in men's volleyball, men's basketball
and, ironically, in the men's free pistol event.
The silver medal, which originally was awarded
to Xu's teammate Wang Yifu, was taken away
after Sweden's Ragnar Skanaker lodged a suc
cessful protest with Olympic officials.
Skanaker's protest led to a recount which gave
him one additional point to lift him out of a tie at
564 with Wang. Still, Wang won the bronze medal.
Japan topped China 15-9, 15-9, 15-8 in their
volleyball meeting.
And the Chinese men were crushed by the
heavily-favored United States basketball team
97-49 last night.
Haiying Liu of China, who led after the first
round of the women's free pistol event, did not
shoot as well In the second round, losing to
Australia's Patricia Drench in a shootout for the
bronze medal.
China, which is hoping to play host to the
Olympic Games in the year 2000, sent 225 ath
letes, its largest Olympic delegation ever, to the
Games here.
In non-event Olympic news, Paris
submitted a bid for the 1992 Games.
It was the first city to do so. The two
other main contenders are Barcelo-
na, Spain, and Amsterdam, Nether
lands, although New Delhi, India,
and Brisbane, Austrailia, were also
expected to make bids.

Carpenter-Phinney claims
Ist ever U.S. cycling gold

MISSION VIEJA, Calif. How
did Connie Carpenter-Phinney ac

ever won by a United States rac
er?
"I threw my bike," said the 27-
year-old veteran of world class
competition as both a speed skater
and cyclist.
To throw the bike,, Connie ex
plained, is to make a sudden spurt,
as though pushing the bike for
ward. America's first cycling gold
medalist said she used the tactic in
a last-ditch effort to overtake Re
becca Twigg, her teammate, and
it put her ahead at the finish line
by a margin narrower than half
the width of a bike wheel.
"It's like a sprinter in a track

Carpenter hails from Madison,

Boulder, Colo. She earned an
Olympic berth in speed skating in
1972, when she was 14, and she also
rowed on a collegiate
championship four when she at
tended the University of California
at Berkeley. She earned a degree
in physical education at Berkeley
in 1981.
In 1976, she took up cycling after
an ankle injury forced her out of
skating and in the intervening
years has won 12 national
championships, more than any
other American cyclist, male or
female.
The victory she scored . in yester
day's Olympic individual road
race was widely predicted by
many cycling experts, but it was a
hard-fought triumph, scored at the
expense of four foreign aces.
