The Atlanta Journal WEEKEND The Atlanta Constitution SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1987 Pan Am Georgians split in tennis, on target in shooting i Pah Am Games i Cuban boxers try to KO anti-Castro demonstrators lllpllllllllilllliiii 111' By Rachel Blount Staff Writer INDIANAPOLIS For Sonia Hahn, private enemy No. 1 on the tennis court Friday was not her opponent, Andrea Tiezzi Rojas of Argentina. It was, instead, Sonia Hahn. Hahn, of Carrollton, carried a lot of anxiety into her first-round match at the Pan American Games and pressured herself right into a 6-3, 6-4 loss at the Indianapolis Sports Center. She will continue play in the round-robin meet which is for seeding purposes only Saturday before advancing to tournament play Monday.

Overall, it was a good day for Georgians, who won five medals Friday at the Games. Roller skaters Rob Ferendo of Stone Mountain and Lori Walsh of Norcross won the gold medal in roller dancing. Shooters Deena Wigger of Fort Benning and Mary Godlove of Rincon won the gold and silver medals respectively in women's small bore rifle prone and Glenn Dubis of Fort Benning won a pair of silvers in men's single and team air rifle. The U.S. swimmers also continued their dominance Friday, winning 11 medals six gold, five silver in six events at the IUPUI Natatorium.

Two swimmers, men's 50-meter freestyle gold medalist Tom Williams and women's 800-meter freestyle gold medalist Tami Bruce, set Pan Am records in their events, as did the women's 400-meter medley relay team. Hahn was the only U.S. tennis player to lose Friday and the first American tennis player to lose in Pan Am play. Al Parker of Claxton, beat Kenneth Thome of Costa Rica 6-2, 6-2 Friday to move to 2-0 in Pan Am play, and teammate Luke Jensen of Ludington, beat Augusto Solano 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. Among the women, Ronnie Reis of Miami beat Lucila Becerra of Mexico 6-3, 6-2, and Jane Holdren of Indianapolis beat Emilie Vi-queira of Puerto Rico 6-2, 6-4.

"I think I played fair," said Hahn, 19, who plays for the University of Kentucky. "But I got off to a slow start because I put a lot of pressure on myself. All this week, when I practiced, I was too hard on myself. I wanted to hit every shot perfectly, and I went out and did the same thing today. mm 1 it 4 SI The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS Nearly a dozen Cuban boxers, angered when anti-Castro demonstrators began tearing up a Cuban flag, rushed into the stands and beat up at least two people Friday night during Pan Am Games boxing competition.

One demonstrator was cut badly around the eye and was taken by stretcher from the Convention Center. Another demonstrator had a bloody face and a police officer suffered a bump on the head while trying to break up the fight Security guards and Indianapolis police pulled the Cubans off the demonstrators. It took about 20 policemen roughly 15 minutes to restore order. "They began to insult us and our revolution," said Julio Mena, an official with the Cuban team. "We are not going to tolerate that." Police made one arrest.

Ramon Delemos, 35, a Dominican native from Dayton, Ohio, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Three other men and a woman were being questioned late Friday night. James Fox, executive director of the USA Amateur Boxing Federation, said about five people were taunting the Cubans and began tearing up the flag when light heavyweight Pablo Romero led his teammates into the bleachers. "I wouldn't have liked to be on the end of that situation," said Fox. Juanna Isa, who was with the group of demonstrators, said, "We were just waving the flag when they took it from us.

Two members of my family are gravely hurt." Isa identified herself as a Cuban-American from Miami and a member of the Cuban-Independent and Democratic Party. Armando Guirola, security chief for the Cuban delegation, said the demonstrators were also at a recent soccer game, where they were taken in by police for questioning. Some Cuban-Americans also fought with members of the Cuban delegation during a baseball game.

I'm disappointed, because I know I can play better. But after I get some matches behind me, I know I'll play better when the real thing starts Monday." Hahn, who had limited tournament experience on clay, shook off a poor first set to go ahead 3-0 in the second. She came back from a 40-0 deficit to win the first game, then broke Rojas in the second by pulling her to the net and sending a forehand across the court to the far corner. Rojas took her to deuce for the third time in the set in the third game, but Hahn held serve by putting a backhand down the line and slicing a forehand to the opposite corner.

Then Hahn's problems of the first set returned. She hit into the net to lose the fourth game, then lost her serve in the fifth when she double faulted twice to be-'' gin the game and hit into the net to end it. Rojas tied the set at 3-3 when Hahn hit two shots long at deuce, and she went ahead 5-4 in a game that went to deuce six times when Hahn hit into the net to lose service. Rojas, who stopped the match several times to argue line calls, buried Hahn 40-15 in the final game and won the match when Hahn hit a forehand just beyond the baseline. "My serve is a never-ending saga," said Hahn, who got few first serves in and got behind several times on double faults.

"It just comes and goes. I hadn't had any: problems this week, but I think playing outdoors in breezy conditions and getting used to the clay threw it off a little." In match play beginning Monday, Hahn, Reis, Parker and Jensen are scheduled to play singles for the U.S. Patrick McEnroe, younger brother of John, is at the Canadian Open this week and will join the U.S. team Sunday to play mixed doubles with Holdren. Parker, a veteran on clay who played at the Sports Center a month ago in the U.S.

Clay Courts, easily won his Friday match after beating Martin Aguirre of Ecuador 6-1, 6-1 in his first-round match Thursday. "It wasn't really that easy," said Parker, who will play for the University of Georgia beginning this fall. was a really consistent player, and I had to really work hard to win every point." In the shooting events, Wigger, who was competing with slight dehydration and a fever, scored 595 out of a possible 600 to win the gold by a point over Godlove. The two will compete again Saturday in women's three-position small bore rifle. In roller skating, Ferendo and Walsh, who led the standings after the compulsory dances Tuesday, scored 220.8 points in the free dance to beat teammates Allen Desterhaft and Julie Hider, who scored 217.8.

The bronze medal went to the Canadian team of James Crouch and Heather Paterson. ANY COLOR YOU CHOOSE. ing all these questions about diving. I asked him about school. He starts high school next year.

I asked him if he was scared, seeing new faces, new people. I went through that kind of experience." Ryan White's next trip to see Louganis was last Sunday when his new friend shocked no one by becoming the first diver in Pan Am Games history to win three golds in the same event. But Louganis surprised Ryan White by sending him home with a gold medal around his neck. Louganis gave a national title medal he's won 41 to a California boy whose appendix burst last year. He'll probably have another opportunity to give away a Pan Am gold after Sunday's platform competition.

Ryan White was invited to attend. The spread of AIDS is a concern in athletics. Many boxing cornermen are wearing plastic gloves because they come in contact with saliva and blood. Organizers of the World University Games in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, gave every participating athlete a condom. Dr.

Robert Voy, chief medical officer for the United States Olympic Committee, said athletes at events such as the Pan Am Games might soon find a condom and educational material in their competition packets. Louganis doesn't believe there's widespread alarm among international athletes. He said his reaction to Ryan White's story is less a kneejerk in social consciousness than a reminder of his childhood. "I empathize with him," said Louganis. "I haven't counseled him or anything.

The way I see it, coming here to watch me is his way of escaping for a little bit We all need that. I just wanted to share something with him, and that's my diving." Didn't he say anything else to Ryan White? "I gave him a little grief," said Louganis, smiling. "I told him he's getting more press than I am." By Bud Shaw Staff Writer INDIANAPOLIS When Greg Lou-ganis was a high school senior he read on a third or fourth grade level. He scored 900 on his college entrance test only because of an 'aptitude for math. "I was always called stupid, dumb, lazy," Louganis said.

"And since my skin was dark I was called a lot of other names, too. "I believed I was retarded. I think that's one reason why I did so well in sports. I didn't have anything else. In school I was getting Cs and Ds.

The only thing I excelled in was art and physical education." Louganis was sitting in freshman English at California-Irvine when the professor gave him a vocabulary word: dyslexia. He located the word in the dictionary and says that's the first time he knew his problem. Kids can be cruel. Here was a dark-skinned boy, adopted, dyslexic, who was tumbling and dancing while his classmates were playing baseball and football. "I know what it's like to be somewhat of an outcast," Louganis said.

Louganis' childhood rushed back in vivid flashes of memory the night he turned on the news and saw Ryan White, a 15-year-old hemophiliac cast out of his school in Kokomo, because he contracted the AIDS virus. Louganis started wondering. U.S. Diving is headquartered in Indianapolis. How close was that to Kokomo? Louganis asked officials at U.S.

Diving to get the boy's phone number so he could call when he was in town. He invited Ryan to the diving complex. "First thing we did was go out to the 10-meter platform," said Louganis. "A friend took Ryan out there. Ryan looked off and said, 'You're "Ryan was like a little reporter.
