Carolina's Jim Schaper placed
third in the 1,000-yard run in the
AAU Invitational Indoor Track
Championship Meet Friday night
in New York.
The third place finish enabled
Schaper to make the U.S. indoor
track team which will compete
against a Russian team Saturday
in Moscow.
Rick Wolhuter, world record
holder in the 880-yard run, won the
1,000-yard run in a time of 2:06.8.
Byron Dyce, a Jamaican, was
second in 2:07.4 and Schaper's
third-placetime was 2:07.7.
"We feel like Jim's making the
U.S. team that will compete in
Russia is not only a great in
dividual honor, but it's also an
honor for the school," Carolina
track coach Bill McClure said
Sunday.

indoor team left for Russia from
New York last night. The team will
spend the rest of this week
preparing for the dual meet
Saturday.
Schaper qualified for the finals of
the AAU 1,000-yard run by winning
his preliminary heat Friday
morning. He was the only
collegian to make the finals and
beat three other top runners--Juris
Luzins, Tom Bach and Brian
McElroy--in the six-man finals.
"He came within one second of
first place, and that's not very
much distance at the end of 1,000
yards," McClure said. "He's
young and these guys have been
around for awhile longer.
"Wolhuter is a tremr :dous
athlete, it's obvious he mue. br to
have a world record, and Dyce is
an old hand at running indoors,"
McClure added. "It's a little
different running indoors.There's a
technique to running the tight
turns. He had a tremendous race to

finish where he did."
Mcdlure said the high AAU
finish should make Schaper one of
the favorites in the 880-yard run at
the NCAA indoor championships in
Detroit March 8-9.
In addition to running the 880,
Schaper will also be part of the
USC two-mile relay team with
Rebus Sheley and Don and John
Brown at the NCAA meet.
The Russian trip will not in
terfere with Schaper's preparation
for the NCAA's, McClure said. He
said Schaper will return to
Columbia the day after the Russian
meet and will be able to spend a
normal training week a before the
NCAA meet.
"We made the decision together
that he would not go if it would
have kept him from running in
Detroit," McClure said. "We just
didn't think it would be right to
knock the other three runners out
of the two-mile relay."

PITTSBURGH--Carolina used a
2-1-2 zone defense and the
excellent backcourt play of Mike
Dunleavy and Brian Winters, who
combined for 42 points, to beat
Duquesne 67-57 for its 19th win of
the season Sunday afternoo,n.
Trailing 32-25 at the half,
Duquesne made it a close game by
playing a tight man-to-man
defense in the second half and
pulled to within one point, 51-50
with seven minutes left in the
game. But the outside shooting of
Dunleavy and Winters saved
Carolina.
Carolina made 26 of 50 field goal
attempts and 15 of 19 foul shots.
"We went with the zone defense
all the way because of Duquesne's
Lionel Billingy," USC's Frank
McGuire said. "If we had gone to a
man-to-man it would have been
like guarding John Shumate in the
Notre Dame game. You can't
second guess winning and the zone
defense won it for us.
"You would have to play here to
realize this was a great win,"
McGuire added. "We should get
the NCAA bid and that's what
winning meant for us." McGuire
said. "The challenge was for the
kids. They did a great job."
John Manning, Duquesne's
coach, said, "I would have liked
Carolina to come out of their zone
because Billingy works well
against a man-to-man. They don't
beat themselves and they have two
fine guards."
Manning also said Billingy
played with two sprained~ ankles.
But the senior All-America can
didate still managed 18 points.
Winters led all scorers with 22
points and Dunleavy had 20 for
Carolina. Alexander English had
his lowest point total of his college
career with four points. English
shot only five times from the floor.
Nate Davis led USC with eight
rebounds and also had 12 points.
