NEW YORK — In the grand
scheme of track and Field things,
namely the road to the Olym
pics, the victory by Steve Scott
Saturday in the Fifth Avenue
Mile doesn’t mean a great deal.
What the nationally televised
race does offer is some hard-to-
get recognition. And for Scott,
who has only been America’s
premier miler for years, it
couldn’t be sweeter.
“I’ve been trying to win this
race the past two years and I
couldn’t do it, so this means a lot
to me. It was a big race for me,”
said Scott after his winning run
of 3 minutes 49.77 seconds.
Even though it came on the
mostly downhill street with
warm temperatures, that was
still more than two seconds slow
er than his U.S. record of
3:47.69.

came into this season as one of
the favorites for the World
1,500-meter Championship, but
he was edged by Britain’s Steve
Cram in Finland last month. As
it turns out, he may not even be
the top U.S. hope for the 1,500
f old in the 1984 Olympics —
ydney Maree could be.
Maree, who set a world re
cord of 3:31.24 in the 1,500 in
West Germany a week ago, is a
native of South Africa who now
resides in Philadelphia. After he
Finished third on Fifth Avenue
in 3:50.72 (behind littleknown
Ross Donoghue’s 3:50.10), he
said he expected to complete
U.S. citizenship procedures by
next January.
“Sydney is the strongest
1,500 runner in the world,”
Scott said. “The times here to
day were just a little slow because
everybody was a little bit tired
after the long season.”
No one had more reason to
be tired than Maree. He had
flown in the day before after a
frustrating trip in Italy, where
he had Finished Fifth in a 1,500
race and became infuriated at a
newspaper account of his
citizenship efforts.
“It was incredible,” said
Maree, the winner of the inau
gural Fifth Avenue Mile in 1981.
“A reporter asked Juan Antonio
Samaranch (president of the In
ternational Olympic Commit
tee) whether a runner who is not
a citizen of a country can repre

True to his reputation, when
Donoghue — who has been
making ends meet recently by
serving as a driver for U.S. Open
tennis ofFicials — unleashed the
kick that almost won it, Scott said
he thought it was Graham Wil
liamson of England, who
Finished ninth.
“But then I saw it was Ross
and I had to really dig down to
beat him,” Scott said.

“This is more fun than Hel

enthusiasm from Helsinki, I
think that’s why I ran well
today.”

top American was Maggie Keyes

Joan Benoit of Watertown,

WASHINGTON —Washing-
ton-Dallas NFL games often
have resembled backalley brawls
with controversial endings
sometimes overshadowing the
games.
The First 1983 renewal isn’t
expected to be much different
when the teams collide Monday
night at RFK Stadium on nation
al television.
But the rivalry cooled some
what after former coach George
Allen left Washington. Only
seven current Redskins played
for Allen and about a dozen
Cowboys played against him.
Redskins cornerback Vernon
Dean, an integral part of the
Washington defense, is only in
his second NFL season. A year
ago, he faced the Cowboys twice,
losing during the regular season
and winning the NFC cham
pionship game.
Dean knows that Washing-
tonDallas games are vital be
cause both teams have cham
pionship aspirations, but the
rivalry isn’t that keen in his
mind.
“It’s just a game for me,” said
Dean. “Last year, I was so busy
trying to do my job, I don’t re
member much about the Cow
boys as a team. I couldn’t think
about them as the Cowboys, just
as the team we were playing.
“I’m glad we’re playing them
in the opener, though. We can
build a solid foundation for a
good year on this game. Last
year, we won a big game at Phi
ladelphia (37-34 in overtime) to
start and look what happened.”
The Redskins went on to lose
only to the Cowboys in Dallas
and won the Super Bowl.
The Cowboys, with two Super
Bowl victories — VI and XII —
are well aware of the 55,045 fans
who will make RFK Stadium
quake Monday night.
“One good thing about start
ing the season in Washington,”
said Dallas cornerback Dennis
Thurman. “We’re going to Find
out right away where we’re at.
“I’d rather start in Washing
ton than against some team that
isn’t supposed to be so good. If I
were the schedule maker I
would start every Cowboy sea
son with a Monday night game
at RFK Stadium.”
