C13 ANGELES TIMES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1995 WORLD SCENE TheO ay in spores Evans' Pursuit of Caulkins Beats Out Pan-Am Games wvm ability to beat two Chinese breaststrok-ers in Rome. "It's been real frustrating for us." On track: Defending world champion Marty Nothstein, four-time world champion Connie Paraskevin-Young, U.S. national sprint champion Jeff Solt and Scandinavian champion Lars Niel-son are scheduled to compete at the Gran Prix Track cycling series starting March 5 at the Dominguez Hills Olympic Velodrome. Troubled times: After losing a sponsor, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame has moved to a back room of an insurance company office in Somerville, N.

Evans has 42, and counting. But by pursuing this lofty goal, Evans will have to skip the Pan American Games next month in Argentina because the U.S. spring nationals in Minneapolis are scheduled at the same time. Although she has won Olympic and World Championship gold medals, Evans, 23, has never competed in the Pan-Am Games. She was hoping to get her chance this year until realizing it interfered with the quest to pass Caulkins, who retired in 1984.

"It shows U.S. Swimming was not concerned about the athletes," Evans said. "The athletes pay the price once again." U.S. Swimming says Evans is the only one affected by the scheduling conflict. "I don't know what their reason was, but it was a stupid reason," Evans said.

"They should start looking out more for the athlete than the interest of themselves." The reason the nationals are being held during the Pan American Games is simple. U.S. coaches wanted this year's schedule to approximate next year's so the swimmers will peak for the U.S. Olympic trials and the Atlanta Games. The trials will be held at the same time as this year's nationals.

(Banning), KMPC 710, KWIZ 1480 (Spanish). Who's next? With Bonnie Blair's speedskating career ending, some are concerned about America's future in the sport. Not Blair. "I think we definitely have a lot of promising skaters coming up," Blair said. She was proven right on Sunday when Becky Sundstrom, 18, of Glen Ellyn, 111., won the overall title in the World Junior Speedskating Championships in Seinajoki, Finland.

The plunge: Synchronized diving will make its American debut at the Phillips 66 national diving championships April 19-23 in Midland, Tex. Are we ready for it or what? World Scene Note Looking ahead to a shrinking budget after the 1996 Summer Olympics at Atlanta, the U.S. Olympic Committee has voted to organize two instead of three Olympic Festivals between 1997-99. Now, cities interested in playing host to the event have been advised that there might be only one Festival during those years, probably in 1999. The announcement by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) last week of torch relay plans for the 1996 Summer Olympics revealed a softening in the relationship between Atlanta and the Greeks, who were resentful after Atlanta won the bid over Athens to organize the Centennial Games.

But the Greeks have agreed to participate fully in the relay, starting with the kindling of the Olympic flame from the rays of the sun in a traditional ceremony at Olympia, Greece. Sanely Nelson Bell, a 1972 Olympian, will compete in the spring swimming nationals on the 25th anniversary of her first senior national competition. Nelson, 38, from Pasadena but now living in Austin, will swim the 50-meter freestyle. 1 Times staff writers Helena Elliott and Randy Harvey contributed to this report. Conflict, The U.S.

Open indoor championships Nov. 30-Dec. 2 in Auburn, are scheduled during the short course world championships in Rio de Janeiro, but U.S. swimmers are not planning to compete in Brazil. 1.24HU0N MS SAN LA.

Riley was the first woman to win both breaststroke races in world championship competition, which she did in September. She was one of the few to outswim China's women, who won 12 of 16 events at the world championships, and were criticized for using anabolic steroids.

A month later at the Asian Games seven Chinese swimmers were caught using a banned male hormone. "I was just lucky," Riley said of her SOCCER GRAHAMEL.

Four years later, similar success seems very unlikely. This time, the Games will take place in Mar del Plata, Argentina, from March 10-25, and Coach Timo Liekoski's U.S. team has the unenviable task of playing the host country in its opening match. The Americans play Argentina on March 12, Paraguay on March 14 and Honduras on March 16.

Liekoski says his team will be "well prepared," but he has chosen not to use the three so-called "wild-card" players available under the rules. Instead of being strengthened with a trio of older players with more international experience, all the players on the American team will be younger than 23. The 18-member roster includes two Californians UNLV defender Mike DuHaney of San Diego and Fresno State midfielder Brian Johnson of Livermore. It also includes one professional player, defender Greg Berhalter, who plays for FC Zwolle in the Dutch second division; one prep player, midfielder Jason Moore of Parkview High in Atlanta; and four players from Virginia's NCAA championship team: forward A. J.

Wood, midfielder Damian Silvera and defenders Brandon Pollard and Clint Peay. UCLA Coach Sigi Schmid is the team's assistant coach. South Africa and Nigeria play March 19, with the winner going to Sweden, i The top two teams in each group, along with the two third-place teams with the best record advance to the quarterfinals. The five favorites to win the championship are Norway, Sweden, the United States, China and Germany, i Reaching the final eight will be reward enough for some, however, since that will guarantee a place in the first women's Olympic soccer tournament in Atlanta next year. By an odd coincidence, the U.S.

women had scheduled games against two of their first-round opponents before the draw was held. In January, the Americans beat Australia twice scrimmages, 4-1 and 5-0, in Phoenix. Then, last Friday in Winter Parjc, where the U.S. squad this month opened its permanent training camp, the Americans trounced Denmark, 7-0, with Michelle Akers, the top goal scorer in the first Women's World Championship in China in 1991, showing she is almost completely recovered from a bout with the Epstein-Barr virus, which causes extreme fatigue. Akers scored three goals and assisted on another.

Mia Hamm scored two and also got two assists. It was a doubly bad week for the Danes, whose captain and leading scorer, defender Bonny Madsen, broke her leg and missed the match. Win or lose in Sweden, the United States is virtually certain to be taking part in the next championship. The U.S. Soccer Federation would not have launched a bid to stage the third FIFA Women's World Championship in 1999 had it not received some fairly strong assurances from FIFA that it would be awarded the tournament.

The only other countries to have expressed interest so far are Australia and Chile. TEAM: 664 fvjpoerrjne. 668 San Diego St 671 Wyoming. 691 British Columbia. 703 Texas Pan Arnerlcan.

10 The defending world champion U.S. women's team should have no great difficulty advancing to at least the quarterfinals when it tries to defend its title this summer in Sweden. At the draw held in Helsingborg, Sweden, where the opening game of the June 5-18 tournament will be played, the Americans were joined in Group by China, Denmark and Australia. The Chinese will present a challenge in the Americans' first game in Gavle on June 6, but the Danes are unlikely to cause any problems on June 8, also in Gavle, while the Australians will be decided underdogs on June 10 in Helsingborg. The Swedes got the worst of the draw, finding themselves placed alongside Brazil, Germany and Japan in Group A.

Norway, which lost to the United States in the championship game in China in 1991, has the easiest first round, having been drawn to play England, Canada and either South Africa or Nigeria in Group B. The American Youth Soccer Organization, founded by Hans Stierle in 1964, this month celebrated the 30th anniversary of its first game. Since that inaugural match in Torrance on Feb. 13, 1965, AYSO has grown to the point where it now has 500,000 registered players in 45 states. Not quite "Everyone Plays" yet, but AYSO clearly is working on living up to its motto.
