The abnormal rhythm, or arrhythmia
appears similar to an episode he suffered
earlier this month and once in 1991, said
Tim Frank, a Rockets spokesman.
The Bullets game was Olajuwon’s third
since missing three games while recover
ing from his first arrythmia of the season
Nov. 19 during halftime of a home
game against Minnesota.
He was immediately taken to Meth
odist, where doctors used a defibrillator
to restore the proper rhythm. Precaution
ary tests were administered on the NBA
star and he was released two days later.
Rockets team physician Bruce
Moseley has said it’s not really known
why such arrhythmia occurs, and there’s
no medicine to prevent it.

ing the 1991-92 season. The condition
returned to normal then after medica
tion.
In 13 games this season, Olajuwon is
third in the league in scoring at 25.8
points per game, and his 9.5 rebounds
per game are second on the team to
Charles Barkley.
Olajuwon, who this past summer
helped the United States his natural
ized country win the Olym? : gold
medal in basketball, also is averaging 2.7
assists with 17 steals and 23 blocks.
Other than the heart condition,
Olajuwon also has had anemia, during
the 1994-95 season. Before the 1990-91
season he was hospitalized with a blood
clot in his left leg, and blood thinners
dissolved the clot.

Harty, Stay take lst-place honors
as UNC dominates Carolina Open
BY DAVE ALEXANDER
STAFF WRITER
North Carolina’s wrestlers hit the mats
at the Carolina Open on Saturday at
Carmichael Auditorium facing the un
certainty of the early season.
The Tar Heels are a squad long on
ability but short on experience. And that
contrast showed as UNC finished its first
home meet with mixed success.
UNC placed eight competitors in
cluding two champions in 10 weight
classes. But UNC coach Bill Lam said
the Tar Heels were not aggressive enough
at times. He also said that some of the
wrestlers seemed intimidated.
“I have mixed emotions,” Lam said.
“We had a couple of champions, which
is nice ... but I didn’t think we wrestled
physically enough. ... That just comes
with practice and maturity.”
Despite a strong all-around perfor
mance, the Tar Heels are still a young
team. Three of UNC’s eight top-three
finishers were freshmen or sophomores.
In fact, the team has only four seniors.
But one of those seniors is three-time
ACC champion Justin Harty. Harty is
expected to win his fourth straight ACC
title and to challenge for the national

There was some question as to whether
Harty would compete after he withdrew
from last weekend’s East Stroudsburg

to rest with a dominating performance.
“I’m fine, ... I’m healthy and I feel

Costa Rica pegs U.S. 2-1
in World Cup semifinals
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica The United States lost 2-1 to
Costa Rica on Sunday, its first defeat in four games during the
semifinal rounds of qualifying for the 1998 World Cup.
Despite giving up a goal for the first time in qualifying play,
the United States is still in excellent position to advance to the
final qualifying round for the North and Central American and
Caribbean region.
Both the United States and Costa Rica (each 3-1) are tied for
the Group One and could clinch a spot in the six-team regional
finals if Guatemala (1 -2-1) fails to beat Trinidad and Tobago (0-
3-1) next Sunday at Los Angeles.
Jose Pablo Wanchope put Costa Rica ahead in the 40th
minute, and Wilmer Lopez made it 2-0 in the 84th. Cobi Jones
scored for the United States in the closing minute.
“Costa Rica played with leadership,” U.S. coach Steve
Sampson said. “Defensively, they played very well. They
covered their spaces, and forwards Pablo Wanchope and Heman
Medford were unbalancing forces and changed the whole
rhythm of the game.”

sudden-death overtime knotted at seven,
but Stay quickly scored a two-point
takedown to earn the victory.
Several of UNC’s younger wrestlers
also performed well on Saturday. Redshirt
freshman Tom Bogan reached the finals
at 158 before falling by a 10-5 score to
Mark Strickland of Old Dominion. Fresh
man Chuckie Connor edged Gerard
Harrison of UVa. 4-3 in the consolation
finals at 118, while sophomore Jason
LeMotta also took third at 134 for the Tar
Heels by holding off Ed Hackenberry of
Bloomsburg 6-4.
The answer for Lam and the rest of the
team may be patience. Given the Tar
Heel’s inexperience, the early season may
be a bit of a slow learning process. The
key at this point in the season is to pre
pare for the competition that they will
face later in the season. Their success this
weekend indicates that they are on the
right track. But Lam said they still have
lots of hard work to do.
“For this early in the year, I was fairly
happy,” Lam said.
“We’re still young, and we’re going to
have to improve a lot. I think we’ll be a
contender for the ACC (title), but we’re
going to have to continue to improve or
we won’t win.”
