U.S. continues Olympic medals domination
By D. BYRON YAKE
AP Sports Editor
LOS ANGELES Michael Gross
of West Germany became the first
double gold winner of the 1984 Sum
mer Olympics yesterday with a
world-record performance, but he
was denied a third gold when the
United States, anchored by Bruce
Hayes, won the 800-meter freestyle
relay by the stretch of a hand.
The United States continued its
overall medals domination with
three golds on the second day of
competition and nine medals over
all. West Germany moved into sec
ond place in the medals' count.
Lai Runming tied the Olympic
weightlifting record in the snatch
during the 123-pound weightlifting
class, with a lift of 270 pounds,
equalling the record set in 1980 in
Moscow by Cuba's Daniel Nunez.
In that event, Albert Hood set, an
American snatch record of 248
pounds.
The swimming relay race was
memorable and dramatic, with the
United States breaking a world re
cord its second-string team had set
in qualifying,earlier in the day.
Hayes' teammates had given him
a two-length lead when he dove into
the water for the last 200 meters.
But Gross quickly made up one
length and even moved ahead be
fore both swimmers swam toward
the finish line in a dead heat.
Then, Gross seemed to tire, mov
ing toward the left of his lane, and
Hayes won the race at the wall by
the length of a hand. That gave the
U.S. swimming team its sixth gold
medal in five events.
The time was 7:15.69 and broke
the world record of 7:18.87 set ear
lier in the day with a U.S. team that
included two swimmers who did not
qualify for the finals in individual
events. In swimming relays, it is not
necessary for the same set of swim
mers to compete in both qualifying
and finals.
The relay team Mike Heath,
David Larson, Jeff Float and Hayes
hugged and waved and shouted in
glee. The crowd, waving American
flags, standing, cheering, loved it.
"We turned even at the hundred. I
thought, `Ohhhh,"' Hayes said of his
duel with Gross.

- INGLEWOOD, Calif. Cheryl Miller's all-around
game team highs of 23 points, eight rebounds, five
assists and five steals led the United States to an 83-
55 thrashing of Yugoslavia yesterday in the Olympic
women's basketball opener.
In men's games yesterday, Italy, which took a silver
in 1980, defeated West Germany 80-72 and Brazil rallied
to whip Egypt 91-82.
China's women, the leading Olympic pre-tournament
qualifiers, also posted a come-from-behind decision,
beating Australia 67-64.
In contests last night, Yugoslavia, the 1980 Olympic
champion, played Australia in men's action and Cana
da's women took on South Korea.
The American men, 97-49 victors Sunday over China,
did not play yesterday. The United States faces Canada
at 4:30 p.m. PDT today in the Forum.
Once Yugoslavia built a 25-23 lead late in the first
half, Miller took over.
The 6-3 forward-guard, the leader of Southern Cali
fornia's two-time women's college champions, scored
10 points in the last four minutes of the opening half.
Miller hounded the Yugoslays on defense. She stole
the ball. She started the Americans' fast break. She
sank four consecutive free throws. She passed off to
Kim Mulkey for a three-point play.
Miller's performance meant a 43-29 halftime lead for
the United States.
"I needed to get a key steal," Miller said. "We as a

LOS ANGELES (AP) Paul Gonzales of the United
States bedazzled his opponent while teammate Virgil
Hill. outgunned his at the Olympic boxing tournament
yesterday.
Gonzales scored a knockdown, but it was hand and
foot speed that were the keys to a 5-0 victory over
Kwang-Sun Kim of South Korea in a first-round 106-
pound match.
Hill blasted Edward Neblett of Barbados with nu
merous hard left hooks and one crashing right to stop
him in a 165-pound match last night at the Sports
Arena.
A third U.S. boxer, Evander Holyfield, 178, fought
later last night.
Hill forced Neblett to take a standing-eight count
with the crunching right. Then, after Hill landed a left
right to the head, the referee stopped the bout at 2:47,
much to the chagrin of Neblett.
The American, who calls both Williston and Grand
Forks, N.D., as his hometown, will now fight Brian
Schumacher of Great Britain tomorrow night.

lacking," said the 1984 College Player of the Year.
Said U.S. Coach Pat Head Summitt: "Cheryl is just a
great athlete. She has been a great compliment to the
USA program. She is an explosive player."
The game had been expected to be one of the most
severe tests for the Americans. The Yugoslays were
the bronze medalists in the 1980 Olympics, boycotted
by the United States.
"I went into this game thinking it could be a long 40
minutes," said Summitt, a co-captain of the 1976 U.S.
silver medalists. "I'm certainly pleased to go into the
second game on this note, with this momentum.
"Our team played very hard defensively. We had a
lot of help off the ball. We played a fast tempo. That's
the key for us," the U.S. coach said.
The Americans' person-to-person defense, led.by the
ball-hawking of Miller and Mulkey, forced the Yugos
lays into 21 errors.
With Miller again the leader, the United States
controlled the rebounding 41-24, also helping launch the
Americans' breaking attack.
"I think the United States play fantastically," said
Milan Vasojevic, the Yugoslav coach. "Even if the
Soviets had been here, the United States would sill
have won. They have a great defense."
Pamela McGee, another Southern California star,
scored 13 points. Lynette Woodard, the college game's
career scoring champion out of Kansas, hit 11 points.
Jasmina Perazic, who played four years at
Maryland, sparked the Yugoslays with 24 points, all
but six of them coming in the first half.
Dakota flag, admitted to being stunned early. "After I
got hit like that it just woke me up. I got my second
wind and I started thinking."
Joon-Sup Shin of South Korea, and Pedro van
Raamsdonck of the Netherlands, two other leading
contenders for the gold at 165, also won.
The left-handed Shin, the World Cup champion,
rocked Patrick Lihanda several times with lefts to the
head and scored a 5-0 decision. The 6-foot-4 van
Raamsdonck couldn't seem to cope with the coun
terpunching of Kenyan Agustus Oga, but got a 4-1
decision, which was roundly booed.
It was was expected to be an extremely tough test for
5-foot-8 1 / 2 Gonzales, the No. 3-ranked 106-pound boxer
in the world. But the 20-year-old from East Los Angeles
dominated the second-ranked Kim, knocking him down
in the first round.
, The boxer thought to be his toughest remaining
opponent, Rafael Ramos of Puerto Rico, is in a
different bracket, and the two would not meet until the
final Aug. 11. Ramos won on a walkover yesterday
when Carlos G. Salazar of Argentina failed to make
weight.
In his next match, Gonzales will fight William
Bongonza of Uganda.

American gymnasts in front early
By DAVID MINTHORN
Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES Diminutive
teen-agers Mary Lou Retton and
Julianne McNamara paced U.S.
gymnasts to the early lead yester
day in the team compulsory exer
cises opening women's Olympic
competition.
Romania, favored for the gold
medal, and a strong Chinese team
were competing in a session last
night. The Americans compiled
195.70 points at midday to far out
distance West Germany, 189.85,
Japan, 187.60, and Spain, 185.40.
Retton, 16, of Fairmont, W.Va.,
led the American team with 39.50
points out of a possible 40 in the
program of required moves on four
apparatus events.
The 4-9 star had a high mark of
9.95 on the floor exercises and 9.90
in vault, 9.85 on the balance beam
and 9.80 on uneverfbars for a glit
tering debut that drew wild cheers
from 8,679 fans at Pauley Pavilion.
McNamara, 18, of San Ramon,
Calif., was right behind with 39.45
points, including 9.90 s on bars and
floor exercises, 9.85 on beam and
9.80 on vault.
U.S. coach Don Peters of Hunt
ington Beach, Calif., was critical of
the scoring, particularly that of
Romanian judge Julia Roterescu,
who marked the balance beam.
"I don't understand why she
wasn't removed from the floor,"
the irate Peters said at a news
conference. Her scoring was abom
inable. We performed well on the
balance beam and she hammered
us."
Retton graded her performance
in the floor exercise as "the best
I've ever done."
"I reacted to the crowd and
played to them," she said. "I was
having a good time."
The U.S. women haven't won an
Olympic medal in gymnastics
since taking a bronze in the team
event at the 1998 London Games.
With the Soviet Union and other
strong Eastern European teams
boycotting Los Angeles, the Ameri
cans seem assured of at least a
bronze, if not a silver, in team, and
medals in the apparatus finals this
Sunday.

Also in cycling, Fredy Schmidtke
of West Germany won the gold med
al in the 1,000-meter time trial in
1:06.104. Curtis Harnett of Canada
took the silver with 1:06.436 and
Fabrice Colas of France the bronze
in 1:06.649. The highest American
finish was an eighth place by Rory
O'Reilly, who clocked 1:07.390 and
never contended.
But in swimming, the records
seemed to be falling like stars.
In the 100 butterfly qualifying,
Gross' 54.02 had disposed of Mark
Spitz's final Olympic record of 54.27
seconds, but minutes later Morales
battered Gross's time with a 53.78.
That set the stage for the final,
and it was dandy.
Morales had the lead until about
10 meters remained when he ap
peared to move slightly to his right
in the lane. Gross, with his incredi
ble 7 1 / 2 -foot wingspan from finger
tip to fingertip then moved out in
front and won at the finish line.
His time: 53.08 seconds, well un
der Morales' old world mark of
53.38.
Ed Etzel of Morgantown, W.Va.,
with a 599 point total, was just one
short of perfection in shooting, and
it was his gold that gave the United
States seven for the Games.
Hegg advanced in the 4,000-meter
pursuit cycling with a time of
4:35.57. The 21-year-old was a mem
ber of the U.S. pursuit team that
won a gold medal at the Pan Ameri
can Games last year.
"I never felt this good'ever getting
off a bike," Legg said.
Mary Lou Retton, the 16-year-old
gymnastics star from Fairmont,
W.Va., and Julianne McNamara, of
San Ramon, Calif., paced the U.S.
women gymnasts to the early lead
in the team compulsory exercises
over West Germany, Japan and
Spain.
Romania, favored to win the gold
medal, and a strong Chinese team,
were competing later.
In boxing, Paul Gonzales of Los
Angeles became the second Ameri
can to advance with a first-round
victory. He defeated Kwang-Sun
Kim of South Korea in the 106-round
class. Monday night, Virgil Hill of
Williston-Grand Fork, N.D., joined

Scott finishes
in 800-meter
By BERT ROSENTHAL
AP Sports Writer
SAN DIEGO (AP) Peter El
liott, a 21-year-old steelworker
from Britain, beat American mile
record-holder Steve Scott in the
men's 800-meter race yesterday at
an international track and field
meet.
For Elliott, timed in 1 minute,
47.49 seconds, the race made up
for a recent poor showing at Oslo,
Norway, where he finished eighth.
For Scott, considered among the
favorites for the gold medal in the
1,500 meters at the Olympic
Games, it was a dreadful showing,
as he finished fourth. He was so
dejected after the race that he
refused to talk with the media.
"I definitely needed a morale
booster," said Elliott, who
grabbed the lead with about 400
meters remaining and held it the
rest of the way.
"I thought Steve Scott would
have been up there at the finish,"
added Elliott, the fourth-place fin
isher in last year's World
Championships. "I expected a

Scott was there, in second place,
coming down the final straighta
way, but he faded badly. His time
was 1:48.95.
Earlier, New Zealand's John
Walker, who has not yet decided
whether to run the 1,500 or the 5,-
000 in the Games, captured the 1,-
000 with a strong but relatively
slow performance.
"This was to see how much
speed I had," said Walker, the 1976
Olympic 1,500 gold medalist, who
was clocked in a slow 2 minutes,
19.37• seconds for the 1,000.
"I wanted to run 2:16. I was able to
run off the front with 400 meters to
go, but the time was slow."
Walker said, however, that he
had been running well in training
and was in excellent condition. He
said he would decide between the
1,500 and 5,000 after meeting with
his coach today. But he said he
would not announce his decision
until three days before his first
scheduled race in the Games.
Track and field events at the Los
Angeles Olympics start Friday.
The time and place of a conflict examination for courses listed by appointment
(Appt) should be arranged between the students and the instruttors concerned
at a mutually convenient time, but in no case in conflict with any other regu—

Walton picks
O'Brien to be
Jets No. 1 QB
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) New
York Jets Coach Joe Walton named
Ken O'Brien as his No. 1 quarterback.
yesterday, saying the second-year
pro will play extensively inpreseason
games this month to gain much
needed experience before the club's
Sept. 2 regular National Football
League season opener at Indianapo
_lis.
O'Brien, the Jets' first-round draft
choice out of Cal-Davis a year ago,
appeared in two exhibition games as
a rookie completing 18 of 28 passes
for 167 yards but didn't see any
action during the 1983 season.
An off-season trade that sent Rich
ard Todd to the New Orleans Saints in
exchange for a No. 1 draft pick left
Walton with a pair of candidates for
the No. 1 job O'Brien and Pat Ryan
who never have started an NFL
game.
Ryan, beginning his seventh sea
son, completed 21 of 40 passes for 259
yards and two touchdowns in 1983.
Walton described him as a "good
competitor" who also has the ability
to step in as a starter.
"I still feel the same way as I did,"
Walton said. "I want two guys who
are capable of starting.
