NEW YORK — North Caro
lina held onto the No. 1 position
and Georgetown retained it’s
No. 2 spot in this week’s UPI
Board of Coaches college bas
ketball ratings while DePaul
and Nevada-Las Vegas — both
upset last week — lost ground.
North Carolina, which col
lected 40 of the 42 first-place
votes cast, strengthened its grip
on the top ranking with decisive
victories over North Carolina
State and Maryland. George
town held its ground with tri
umphs over Villanova and
Providence.
Depaul, which was nipped by
Dayton 72-71 last week, slipped
from No. 3 to No. 5. Nevada-
Las Vegas, clobbered by un
ranked Fresno State 68-43 Sun
day, dropped from No. 5 to No.
7.
Houston — which received
the other two first place votes —
collected victories over Texas
Tech and Virginia to jump
from No. 4 to No. 3, and Ken
tucky, fueled by triumphs over
Florida and Vanderbilt, jumped
from No. 6 to No. 4.
Three teams broke into the

SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia — Happy
endings, after all is said and done,
spin a special magic to cleanse the
spirit and wash away sad memories.
Forget the progressive disappoint
ments of the first 12 days, the failure
of the hockey team, the disqualifica
tion of Tamara McKinney, the near
miss of Rosalynn Sumners; never
mind that the United States failed to
score in seven of the nine Olympic
sports and Finished far behind East
Germany in the medal standings.
You can forget it because the last
day of the Winter Olympics belonged
to the United States, courtesy of the
Mahre twins giving Americans rea
son enough to carry away fond mem
ories.
What more of a Hollywood finish
could one ask for than to have twins
finish 1-2 in an Olympic ski race,
each helping the other with key strat
egy, and when the deed is done
learning that one is a new father and
the other a new uncle?
In a spectacular windup to a not so
exciting winter interlude, Phil and
Steve Mahre proved just how close
they really are Sunday by placing 1-2
in the men’s slalom. The twins look so
much alike that only their closest inti
mates can tell them apart, and in
what is likely to be one of their final
competitive appearances together,
they finished virtually on each other’s
heels. ?
So was salvaged what started out to
be a disastrous Olympics for the
United States — and the Americans
retained bragging rights as the leader
in Alpine skiing.
The United States won half of the
six Alpine events. In addition to
Mahre, Bill Johnson won the down
hill and Debbie Armstrong the wom
en’s giant slalom, with Steve Mahre
and Christin Cooper (giant slalom)
picking up silver.
But somewhat embarrassed by
th§ir lack of success, the U.S. Olym
pic Committee says it is close to sign
ing up a sponsor to fund a $5.5 mil
lion program with the goal of
improving the country’s perfor-
- mance in the next Winter Games.
