Toronto welterweight Nick Rupa, 21, from the Cabbagetown Youth Centre, lost an extremely close split-decision to Pedro Frias, 23, of the Domincan Republic in a 67-kg match. The loss gave Canada a 4-4 record in boxing to date with Kitchener super-heavyweight Lea-, nox Lewis still looking like our best gold-medal hope. Rupa said he had trained harder than anyone on the team and may, in fact, have overtrained. This is a real disappointment I thought I for me, said Rupa. Fuzzy Iqueaks Into last found Denis Watson missed a 15-foot putt yesterday, giving Fuzzy Zoeller the last final-round berth at the International golf tournament at Castle Rock, Colo.

Watson's miss eliminated him from the seven-man playoff for final six positions in the 18-man field that will compete for a $180,000 first prize today. Zoeller made bogey-five on the playoff hole. Had Watson made his putt, he and Zoeller would have gone on to another extra hole to determine the last qualifier. Zoeller and Watson finished their round tied with Scott Simpson, John Cook, Steve Pate, Alike Hulbert and South African Nick Price, all with four, points. The other five had par or on the playoff hole.

Defending champ Ken Green also made it, as the field for the final day was narrowed from 54 to the final 18. Chip Beck led the field with 13 points under the modified Stableford scoring system used for the tournament His medal score on the Castle Pines Golf Club course was a six-under-par 66. Points are awarded on the basis of a player's performance hit close to home at these Pan Am Games. When the athletes hold centre stage, the boxing competition is tough and forthright When yahoos try to impose their political convictions on an athletic event unsportsmanlike conduct becomes tlie norm. 1 The boxers took back the spotlight yesterday at the Games and Canadian bantamweight Vittorio Salvatore challenged the contention that the intent in boxing is to deliberately harm the opponent Salvatore, born in Montreal, won a unanimous decision over Ecuador's William Suarez in a 54-kilogram bout Salvatore had more trouble keeping his breakfast down than his spirits up.

The goal in amateur boxing is to score points, not go for a knockout said Salvatore, 20. You only have three rounds and you better be busy landing punches and defending yourself. This was a good first bout for me, the perfect tuneup match. Ive been off for over a month and I needed this kind of fight to get ready. Im looking to fight the American guy, Michael Collins, and I think I can beat him, said Salvatore who has had 83 amateur fights and has loft 16.

My only trouble today is that I ate far too much for breakfast after the weigh in and I thought I was going to throw up. Next time I stick to pasta. For his part, unanimous decision over Jose Pan- taleon of the Dominican Republic yesterday and looks like the boxer to beat In the 54-kg class. Collins won his third consecutive By AI Sokol Toronto Star INDIANAPOLIS The most telling blow delivered at the boxing competition in the Pan American Games may very well have come from the Coalition Against Violent Entertainment (CAVE). In their continuing effort to get boxing dropped from the Pan Am and Olympic Games, CAVE representatives handed out a press release on the health hazards of boxing to those attending matches at the Convention Centre here.

Studies documenting chronic brain damage among boxers may not be relevant to the amateur athletes in the Pan Am Games, but CAVE certainly hit home with the message that the sport can lead to increased violence among spectators. The three-round bouts here are controlled violence with the safety of the athletes guarded by ring officials and physicians. The same cant be said for those in the stands. Ugly brawl On Friday night two anti-Castro protesters, both in their 40s, were Injured when Cuban boxers traded punches with members of the Movement for an Independent and Democratic Cuba. It was an ugly brawl in which a flag was shredded and Cubas light-heavyweight Pablo Ramero pummelled a demonstrator.

According to Dr. Thomas Ra-deck! of Chicago, psychiatrist and research director for CAVE, boxing could have ignited the Cuban fire that has been smouldering since these Games began a week ago. Radecki states in the CAVE press release that one study documents a significant increase in the U.S. homicide rate for several days after major heavyweight championship fights. Another study done at Temple University in Philadelphia found that Olympic Games participation in boxing was correlated with the frequency with which a nation, goes to war.

Andrew DeNew of Montreal, representing the Canadian affiliate of CAVE, was in Indianapolis to voice his concerns. The officials and national leaders at the Pan Am Games are making a tragic mistake, said DeNew. Brain damage debate Permitting the brutal sport of boxing at a gathering aimed at international fellowship and understanding is misguided. Young American and Cuban athletes knocking each other senseless here does not get us closer to world peace, added DeNew. Violence has no place in international peace.

Deep within CAVES information material some experimental evidence is mentioned about a study comparing 53 amateur boxers with 53 former soccer "Si study found no statistically significant difference between the former boxers and soccer players after extensive neurological examinations. The debate about brain damage and boxing can be left to the sden-; fists, but the claim that boxing increases tendencies towards anger and aggression among spectators Great start for rowers with two Pan Am golds on each hole: 5 for eagle, 2 for birdie, 0 for par, -1 (or bogey and -3 for double bogey or higher. The medal score Has no bearing. Point totals are not carried over and all survivors start from zero today. The other qualifiers are: Richard Zokol of Vancouver, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Watson, Ken Brown of Scotland, Joey Sinde-lar, Bruce Uetzke, Andrew' Magee, DA Weibring, Morris Hatalsky and Corey Pavin.

Skinner leads by 2 Valerie Skinner shot a two-under-par 70 yesterday to retain the lead after two rounds of an LPGA event at White Plains, N.Y.

Dawn Coe of Lake Cowichan, B.C, fired a second-round 69 to move within six strokes of Skinner at 143.

Nolet placed 10th in the individual all-around. Indianapolis jinx strikes once again as champion hurdler fails to finish had won the fight by takin second and third round, but three of the five judges didnt seem to see it that way. Bruise on cheek That was not a good performance by me, though. Maybe I came into the fight overtrained.

I know I can fight better than that Now the Pan Am Games are over for me. While Rupa had a bruise on his cheek, it was apparent the only real damage he nad suffered was to his pride. The only brain-damaged individuals evident at the Pan Am boxing are in the stands. Edmonton light-flyweight Scott Olson, with over 100 amateur bouts, lost to Cuban world champion Juan Torres Friday night and no one mentioned politics in the post-fight interview. Which leads to yet another point.

Scarborough driver quits Canadian racing circuit INDIANAPOLIS (Reuter) -World champion Greg Fosters Indianapolis jinx struck again yesterday as ne failed to finish a major championship final for the second time in five months. The favorite Foster was in command of the Pan American Games 110-metre hurdles final when disaster struck halfway from the finish. 1 The Olympic silver medalist appeared to be distracted when compatriot Cletus Clark, running beside him, hit the fifth of the 10 barriers and went sprawling.

Foster clipped the sixth barrier. We wanted to win every race but Ive made mistakes and the car has had mechanical problems throughout the year, When I cradled at the Molson Indy, that caused all the other problems. Instead of spending more money on the series, our money will be better spent by renting cars and testing in other series. Ill learn more that way. I can't gain anything by continuing with the Canadian series." Tracy has also quit the $275,000 Rothmans Porsche Challenge Scries circuit for showroom stock Porsche 944s.

He finished third in the first two races but dropped out the third race because of what he considered to be too dangerous conditions on the track at Le Circuit Mont Tremblant and engine problems kept him out last weekend's race at Mosport Park. Tracy is expected to move up to the American Racing Series (ARS) circuit next season for the Michigan-based Doug Shierson Team. The ARS circuit is considered the stepping stone to Indy-car racing. I think it's the right step for me because it will get me used to higher speeds, the bigger wings and greater downforce, Tracy said. A ride on the ARS circuit is rumored to cost nearly $250,000 but a major sponsor is supposed to pick up the entire tab.

Scarboroughs Paul Tracy has decided to abandon the Canadian racing circuit after todays race here at the Sanair Super Speedway now that he has nothing to gain by completing the rest of nis 1987 season. Considered one of Canadas most promising young drivers, Tracy was not only favored to win the Motomaster Pro Formula 2000 Series this season but to run away with it.
