Sports Editor Here's the scene Saturday afternoon at Weems Baskin Track. It's 2:30, there have been an uncountable amount of high school and college races before and the couple of thousand fans that are still surviving the blaz ing April South Carolina sun are trying to stay awake. "What's the next race.?" one frightfully bored spectator asks his friend while trying to stifle a yawn. "Just a minute, let me check the program," the friend replies, slowly turning the reach for his schedule of events. "What was that race they just finished, the 880-yard relay for high school girls?"

They don't even have girls in this meet. It was the 440-relay for colleges." "Oh, then the distance medley for universities is next." "You're kidding. That's ten laps. It'll take at least 10 or 11 minutes. I can't take much more of this. Let's go." "No, let's wait until this race is over." The distance medley starts, with 15 or 20 half-milers fight ing, elbowing and pushing for position. In other words it starts like any other relay race longer than a mile. By the time the three quarter milers take the baton three teams are way out in front of everyone else and are threaten ing to lap some.

When the Blue Devil's miler Bob Wheeler finally. gets the baton, North Carolina's Reggie McAfee is ten yards up the track. NC State's Jim Wilkins is five yards behind Wheeler. With a lap to go the crowd begins to feel something strange is happening and for the first time are on their feet yel ling. Wheeler confidently closes the gap on McAfee and moving down the final back stretch is only a stride behind. Coming out of the turn Wheeler pulls even and the crowd goes wild. At the tape Wheeler lunges and for the first time in the race is ahead of McAffe. Duke wins the distance medley. Our friends are not impres sed. "The 440 relay for primary school.girls was better." "Yeah, it didn't take near as long. Let's go." As the friends leave, the announcer tells the results of the distance medley. Nothing seems too exciting until he comes to the winner. "The winner," he yells, "in a new meet and world record time of 9:32.8, Duke Univer sity." What's that again? A world record being set on that rinky dink track facility in back of the Roost? As incredible as it seems, it might happen. Bill McClure thinks that Duke and North Carolina both have the capability of breaking the record, 9:33 held by Kansas, who had a guy by the name of Jim Ryun running anchor for them, at the 11th annual State Record Relays Saturday after noon. "I think the two top teams in the distance medley have the capability of breaking the world record," McClure said Wednes day. "Duke won the Florida Relays last Saturday in 9:53.4, but they can go a lot faster than that if all their guys run their best times in the same race. "McAfee, Wheeler and Wil kins are all outstanding milers and have good people ahead of them. North Carolina may have a little edge in their first three runners." The Tarheels lead off with half-miler Lennox Stewart, a sub 1:50 man. They are even stronger in the three-quarter mile spot with Waldrop. He's run the mile in the low four's and the 880 in 1:47. Finally, McAfee has done everything but break the four-minute bar rier. In the NCAA indoor cham pionships he was second only to Olympic Games' hero Dave Wottle. But, while Duke may be a lit tle weaker with Steve Wheeler, Scott Eden and Beardmore, Bob Wheeler makes up for it. The third Olympic miler, besides Ryun and Wottle, has broken the four-minute mark and should make the difference in " the race. If Wheeler and McAfee get the baton at the same time, Duke will win, McClure believes. "McAfee would p rob ably needa10Oor 12- a avan tage to finish ahead Wheeler," he sati
