At the finish, Julie Shae was first among the 291 survivors. Julie Shea Wins First Diet Pepsi Run sored by the Sun-Sentinel in what she called a "slow time because no one was really challenging me," finishing nearly 85 seconds before her younger sister, Mary. Gayle Olinek, a Canadian citizen and Fort Lauderdale resident, was third. Julie's winning time of 35:43.4 threatened no records of any sort, the only major disappointment of the marathon which also attracted close to 300 spectators in its debut. By Duane Lancaster Staff Writer DEERFIELO BEACH A pair of North Carolina sisters and a Canadian Olympic sprinter transplanted in Fort Lauderdale led a parade of more than 300 in yesterday's Diet Pepsi 10,000 Meter Run For Women at Deer Creek Country Club.

Julie Shea easily captured the 6.2-mile event spon "I wanted to break the American record but it was just too hot out there for that," she said. "The times were generally quite slow because of the heat and there was no one pressing me. It's hard running up front (she led the entire race) all the time. It would have helped if somebody could have kept pushing me." The North Carolina State freshman pretty well dominated the qualify field which was bracketed into eight age groups. The winners ranged from 11 to 52 years of age.

The top three finishers in each group were awarded medals and team scores were recorded though the bulk of the runners were competing unattached. Despite the heat, 291 of the 320 starters finished the race which was adminstered by the Fort Lauderdale Road Runners.

So Coach Rudy Hubbard put his trust in a fullback he used during infrequent goal line situations and in a tailback who seldom got in at all. Mike Solomon, the short-yardage fullback, and Melvin McFayden, the unknown tailback, rushed for a combined 384 yards to lead FAMU to a 35-28 win and the national title.

"I wasn't worried when Ike (Williams, the All-America halfback) broke his ankle. Because we had Solomon and McFayden. I knew they could do the job and they couldn't have picked a better time," said Hubbard, the Woody Hayes disciple who made good. Hubbard wasn't counting on the two to do that much. "Believe it or not, our game plan was to pass.

We practiced here yesterday (Friday) and there was no wind and the sun was out. We were throwing the ball well, but when I felt that wind (20-25 miles per hour) I knew we'd have to depend on the run." Solomon and McFayden were dependable, helping to bring the Rattlers from behind twice. Solomon, no stranger to the goalline, uncharacteristically broke away for long gain after long gain and scored on touchdown runs of 65, 28 and 20 yards. His seasonal total for touchdowns shot to 17 breaking the FAMU record of 16 Please Turn To Page 10C, Column 1 Gifts For Sports Fan Who Has Read It All With seven shopping days left until Christmas there is still plenty of time to get that sports fan in your house a book to read during time outs.

Williams Needs Rest, Not Yards By Steve Hummer Staff Writer MIAMI Delvin Williams has nothing special planned for this atypical Sunday afternoon of leisure view some televised football and, for a little excitement, watch his body mend. He will be studying the Houston-San Diego game that has repercussions reaching Miami. But it's as if every time the Oilers hand the ball to No. 34, Earl Campbell, Williams will be shielding his eyes. "I won't be watching Earl," insists the Miami Dolphin running back, who lags behind Campbell and Chicago's Walter Payton in the race for leading rusher in the National Football League.

Williams has the bottom-of-the-ninth type of advantage of knowing exactly what he'll need to catch the two, since the Dolphins end the regular season tomorrow night against New England. Obtained from San Francisco during the off season, Williams sprinted to the rushing lead early this season and has since broken Larry Csonka's team single-season rushing record. Then a series of injuries began to build up; culmanated by a sprained knee that sidelined him last week against Oakland. Both Campblel and Payton passed him by. With his 90 yards rushing against Washington yesterday, Payton ran bis season total to 1395 yards.

Campbell, with one game to go, has 1,373. Trailing Payton by 143 yards and 121 yards behind Campbell is Williams. That's a long way back, especially if Campbell overcomes sore ribs and has even an average day against the Chargers. "I'm not going to play Monday because of the stats. I would have liked to have won it (the rushing title) but I'll have another chance next year," said Williams, conceding the difficulty of overcoming the yards and the injuries.

First there were the ribs, then the neck and finally a knee injury against Washington two weeks ago. He hasn't broken the 100-yard barrier in the last four games, averaging just more than 45 yards per game over that period (counting his one carry for four yards against the Raiders).
