Eatlg (Ear Hppl SPORMIEFS Speed, Sawyer Lead Second-Day Qualifying DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Lake Speed and Elton Sawyer led Daytona 500 second-round qualifying Monday at Daytona International Speedway and vir tually assured themselves of making the lineup for Sunday’s race. In the unique Daytona qualifying for mat, speeds from three days of time trials are used to establish the fields for Thursday’s Twin 125-mile qualifying races which determine positions 3-30 for the race —and also to fill positions 31-38 in Sunday’s lineup. The front row spots were won Saturday by Dale Earnhardt and Ernie Irvan. For the drivers who do not qualify in Thursday’s races, the next eight positions in the field will go to the fastest drivers remaining from the time trials, regardless of which day they qualified. Yankee Outfielder Asks for $3 Million in Arbitration NEW YORK ln just the second salary arbitration case of the year, New York Yankees outfielder Bemie Williams asked Monday for $3 million, more than seven times his salary of $400,000 last season. Arbitrator Ralph Berger, expected to issue a decision on Tuesday, listened to arguments from both Williams and the Yankees, who offered $2,555,000. Williams, 27, hit .307 last season, the second-best average on the team, and had 18 homers and 82 RBIs. He rejected several multiyear offers. Eighteen players remain in arbitration. In the one case decided, catcher Rick Wilkins beat the Houston Astros last week and was awarded a $1.55 million salary. He originally made $1.25 million in salary per year. Namibian Sets Indoor Record in 100 Meters TAMPERE, Finland Frankie Fredericks of Namibia set anew world indoor record of 10.05 in the 100 meters Monday. The former indoor mark was held by Olapade Adeniken of Nigeria with a time of 10.13 set last year. Fredericks, 28, was the Olympic silver medalist in the 100 meters in 1992 in Barcelona.

Lam Looks for 300th Win; UNC Tries to Dispel Old Adage BYKURTTONDORF STAFF WRITER There’s an old regional sports adage that says: When Duke and North Carolina meet, it doesn’t matter who looks better on paper it’s either school’s event to win. But the 17th-ranked UNC wrestling team just doesn’t buy it. In the 23 years that Bill Lam has coached UNC, the Tar Heels (10-3-1, 3-0 in the ACC) have never lost to Duke (4-3,0-1). In Durham at 7:30 tonight, the UNC grap plers will not only attempt to keep that Sfi H . ■ * w W .-Bit jfML % E . §Pf - v :*?* v • ' ~. ' ' |\\ A rfnht i tuc mat-ili W I itt wvl/L HalL' . i'r.

If the Blue Devils believe that grappling in the friendly confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium will serve as a comfort, they had best think again. In their last nine trips to Durham, Lam’s teams have won by an average team score of 32-8. So forgive Lam if he shows some degree of confidence in his wrestlers. “I don’t think Duke can beat us,” he said. “What they can do —and what people don’t understand—is that they can be spoilers. If they beat one of our kids, SPORTS they can goof up our individual seeds for the ACCs.” The ACC Wres tling Tournament seeds its participants not on a team basis but on an individual one, as wrestlers sporting the best regular season records earn the higher seeds. So although the Tar Heels feel Duke doesn’t pose much of a threat to their team mark, Blue Devil wrestlers could make progress in the ACC tournament more difficult for some UNC wrestlers come tournament time. “Here’s my prediction: If we wrestle to our potential, we should shut them out,” Justin Harty, UNC’s heavyweight, said. But Harty, too, realizes the individual burden that faces the Tar Heels is crucial. “From here on out, this is where most wrestlers across the country make the deci sion between, ‘Am I going to give up?’ or ‘Am I going to get cranked up?”’ he said. Wrestling vs. Dike h Tonight, 7:30 p.m., Durham Tuesday, February 13,1996 “This is the only time of year that matters. ” Duke has had a week to think about this meet, as it won its last meet on Feb. 6 against Campbell. The Blue Devils feature Dan Covatta (19-2) at 142 and Matt Mapes (10-0) at 158, who would usually face the UNC tandem of Dave Leonardis (23-4), who is ranked sixth in the nation, and No. 9 Mike Chase (24-3), respectively. But not tonight. Lam has decided to wrestle his entire team up a weight class, which marks the last time this season his team won’t have to worry about dropping pounds before a meet. 7
