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.

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. © 1996 Tribune Media Services, Inc.

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 Bizarro WARNING: May cause drowsiness.

There was some question as to whether Harty would compete after he withdrew from last weekend’s East Stroudsburg Open. But the All-American put all doubts to rest with a dominating performance. “I’m fine, ... I’m healthy and I feel good,” Harty said. “I’m excited about the opportunity that I have this year and that file team has this year.” Also tasting victory for the Tar Heels was junior Scott Stay, who defeated Mike Quaglio of Hofstra 9-7 to win the 190- pound weight class. The match went to 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.” A section of the AIDS Memorial Quilt will be displayed at residential halls Nov. 25 - Dec. 6.

World AIDS Week is organized by the World AIDS Week Planning Committee and funded in part by the Chancellor’s Task Force on AIDS. Monday, December 2,1996 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.” 9
