LOS ANGELES — Lightning-fast
Steven McCrory led a wave of Amer
icans into the Olympic boxing finals
Thursday, with popular Canadians
Willie deWit and Shawn O’Sullivan
and U.S. heavyweight Henry Till
man also advancing with unpopular
decisions.
Moving into the gold medal fights
along with McCrory and Tillman
were Jerry Page, Frank Tate and
Virgil Hill as the United States ran
its sparkling Olympic record to 38-1.
Six other U.S. boxers, including
three-time world champion Mark
Breland, fought their semifinal
bouts Thursday night.
The U.S. squad has a chance to
„ make the biggest haul of boxing gold
^ medals by one nation in the history
of the Carnes in Saturday’s finals. Of
the 12 fighters entered in the com
petition, only Robert Shannon did
not make it to the semifinal round.
In the most controversial decision
of the competition, O’Sullivan, the
former world champion, was
awarded a 4-1 jury decision over
France’s Christophe Tiozzo. The
judges voted 3-2 for Tiozzo but were
overruled by thejury.
O’Sullivan landed no more than a
dozen solid punches the entire fight,
while Tiozzo steadily ripped him
with lefts and rights. The decision
brought a deafening chorus of boos
from the fans, and Tiozzo pulled
away from the referee during the
decision ceremony and openly wept
as he left the ring.
“I’ll admit I wasn’t sure of how the
decision would go,” said O’Sullivan,
“but I was too tired to feel nervous.”
“It wasn’t arranged,” Tiozzo said
of the decision, “but it wasn’t far
from being arranged. I can’t explain
it. I am shocked.”
The win set up a light middle
weight gold medal showdown be
tween O’Sullivan and Tate, who took
the Canadian’s title away earlier this
year in Los Angeles in the World
Championships Challenge.
Tate got an easy ride into the fi
nals, winning in a walkover when his
opponent, Manfred Zielonka of
West Germany, could not fight be
cause of a broken hand in Wednes
day’s quarterfinal.
DeWit followed O’Sullivan by 30
minutes and was awarded a 3-2 deci
sion in a lackluster fight over slick
boxing Arnold van der Lijde of Hol
land. That decision was also greeted
with loud booing from the 8,000
fans in the Sports Arena.

gold in 200 meters
United Press International
DeWit now faces Tillman for the
gold medal in the heavyweight class.
Tillman also was unimpressive
Thursday, winning 5-0 by jury over
brawling Angelo Musone of Italy.
Musone pounded away at Tillman’s
body for three rounds, clearly land
ing more punches. The judges voted
3-2 for the Italian but again they
were overruled by the jury mem
bers, all of whom voted for the
American.
LOS ANGELES — Valerie Brisco-
Hooks, gradually etching her name
in Olympic history, pocketed the sec
ond of three possible gold medals
and Britain’s Daley Thompson won
his second straight Olympic decath
lon Thursday night at the Summer
Games.
When Brisco-Hooks, one of the
great success stories in American
athletics, won the women’s 200 me
ters in 21.81 seconds, it marked the
second American record she had
broken this week. Her 400-meter
time Monday was 48.33.
Brisco-Hooks, the 24-year-old
performing in her hometown,
blazed to her triumph over team
mate Florence Griffith (22.04) and
Merlene Ottey-Page of Jamaica. If
the U.S. 4 x 100 meter relay team
runs to victory Saturday, Brisco-
Hooks will become the first Ameri
can woman since Wilma Rudolph in
1960 to win three Olympic gold
medals. Rudolph won the 100, 200
and was in on the relay team.
After breezing through an af
ternoon semifinal triumph, Brisco-
Hooks came out fresh for the final.
A blazing start catapulted her into
the lead rounding the turn, and she
held off Griffith and Ottey, who sur
vived a photo finish for her second
bronze medal of the Gaines. She was
also third in the 100 meters.
Ottey was timed in 22.09, just .1
seconds ahead of Kathryn Cook of
Great Britain.
A beaming Brisco-Hooks, who
won the 400 meters Monday in an
American record of 48.83, then pa
raded around the track with Grif
fith, holding up a large American
flag.
Before Thursday, it appeared the
200 might be remembered more for
who wasn’t there, as the Eastern bloc
boycotted and Evelyn Ashford and
Chandra Cheeseborough both were
forced out by injuries at the U.S.
Trials. But Brisco-Hooks’ gold-
medal time broke Ashford’s 5-year-
Carol Lewis, Carl's sister,
failed to add to her family
success when she didn’t
make it into the final three
rounds. Thacker, who
while competing for Ne
braska upset Lewis, of
Houston, at the NCAA in
door Championships this
year, nudged Lewis from
the final eight with her
third-round jump of 21-
10.

It also came within 0.1 of East
German Marita Koch’s world record
and shattered the Olympic record of
22.03 set by East German Barbel
Woeckel at the 1980 Moscow Games.
Brisco-Hooks became the third-fast-
est performer in history.
“The bulk of the races were easy,”
Brisco-Hooks said. “I was having
some problems with my back in both
of the 200 races and I knew I had to
go out hard. I had no one to pull off
of in the 200, while in the 400 I
could see more.”
On the medals platform, tears ran
down Brisco-Hooks’ face as, with her
right hand over her heart and her
right leg shaking nervously, she
loudly sang the national anthem.
After being ranked in the world’s
top 10 in 19/9, Brisco-H ooks took
off an extended period for marriage
and her first child. She stormed back
this year in both the 200 and 400,
and her 22.16 in winning the Olym
pic Trials 200 made her eighth-fast-
est of all time at that point.
‘‘Valerie is a hara worker,” Grif
fith said. “She has dedicated every
thing to being an excellent .200 and

In the first bout of the day, Mc
Crory, a native of Detroit who is the
brother of World Boxing'Council
welterweight champion Milton Mc
Crory, used lightning combinations
to earn an easy 5-0 decision over
Eyup Can of Turkey in the 112-
pound flyweight division. He will
fight Redzep Redzepovski of Yugo
slavia in the final.
Can blamed biased judging for his
loss, which brought a laugh from
McCrory.
“He might have beaten me in
Turkey. They probably would have
had five Turkey judges,” McCrory
said. “I’m not gonna’ comment on
judging. I destroyed a guy from Ma-
luwalu (Malawi) or wherever he’s
from, and he said he was robbed,
too.”
At Arlington, Frank Tanana
pitched a five-hitter and Gary Ward
highlighted a four-run seventh in
ning with a two-run double Thurs
day night to rally the Texas Rangers
to a 7-3 triumph over the Boston
Red Sox.
It was the third victory in four
games for Texas.
Tanana (11-11) retired 17 of the
last 18 batters he faced from the
fourth inning on. The 31-year-old
left-hander struck out four and
walked three while notching his sev
enth complete game of the year and
the 114th of his career.
The Rangers rally came against
Red Sox starter A1 Nipper (4-5) in
the seventh. George Wright opened
with a single and reached second on
line to make it 5-3.
Buddy Bell’s singled scored Ward
with the final run of the inning.

America's Mitchell places third
China finishes 1,2 in diving prelim
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Chinese divers
Ji Hong Zhou and Chen Xiaoxia
served notice they would be the fa
vorites for the Olympic platform
gold medal after finishing one-two
in Thursday’s prelims.
The 17-year old Ji, leader after
the morning compulsories, wound
up with the highest score among the
21 competitors with a total of 462.87
points. Her 22-year old teammate,
Chen, wound up second with 434.88
after missing her last dive.
American Olympic trials cham
pion Michele Mitchell, 22, was a
solid third after the eight-dive pre
liminary round with a total of
402.39. U.S. teammate Wendy Wy-
land, the reigning world champion
on the platform, also qualified in
fifth place at 382.08.
The United States has not won the
women’s platform competition in
the Olympics since 1964 when Les
ley Bush captured the gold medal.
All scores from the preliminaries
will not count toward the gold medal
to be decided at the USC pool Friday
evening.
Ji received her highest rated dive
on her last attempt, a forward 3
l/2somersault that drew a 72.90
from the seven-judge panel. It was
that same dive that teammate Chen
received her highest mark of the
day, a 72.00.
Ji, winner of the FINA World
Cup last year, also has been run-
nerup at the Canada Cup and Asian
Games competitions last year. She
was consistent throughout the cum-
polsories and optionals in piling up
the 28-point lead.
Mitchell, a native of Phoenix,
wound up third despite being as
sessed a balk on her first optional
dive of the day. She faltered as she
prepared for a headstand dive from
the 10-meter board and was assessed
a two-point penalty per judge.
But the former U.S. national plat
form champion recovered with a
70.47 rating on her next dive and
was easily third.
Valerie Beddoe of Australia,
eighth after the compulsories, fin
ished fourth, six points ahead of Wy-
land.
Wyland, runnerup to Mitchell in
the Olympia trials, was hampered in
the compulsories when she put too
much into a reverse that pulled her
legs over. But she was more consis
tent. in the optionals and wound up
qualifying easily.
