TORONTO (AP) - Ben Johnson

those close to the runner were aware
of it, fellow Canadian Olympic
sprinter Angella Issajenko was
quoted as saying in Sunday's Toronto
Star.
Issajenko said Johnson - who was

Wien. 83, is ill with cancer, accor-
ding to Columbia officials.
McElreavy was pleased the Lions
won in his stadium while he is alive.
We're going to get a ball and have
the players sign it. I think we’ll have
the film copied so he can put it in his
library," McElreavy said.
The end came on homecoming day,
and many of the players who never
won looked on through tears of bliss.
"I never thought this would hap-
pen," said Matt Sodl. who graduated
last year after 30 losses. “I even
started crying. What a feeling. It lifts
a burden off my shoulders."
McElreavy said he sensed
something. And his wife sensed
something, too. They celebrated
Saturday night with a three-year old
bottle of Dom Perignon.
"Karen. I don’t know why, put the
bottle in the refigerator in the morn-
ing. She hadn’t touched it in three
years.”
The bottle and Columbia’s campus
became uncorked Saturday night.
Fraternities on 114th Street erupted
into raucous celebrations.
"No one knows what to do,” stu-
dent Bernard Ravina said, "because
we're not used to celebrating."
As night turned into morning, the
newspapers proclaimed the end of
the streak in big, bold print. The nor-
mally somber New York Times ran a
banner headline across the sports
section with two exclamation points:
"Columbia Wins! That’s Right.
Wins!"

Saturday, ending the longest losing
streak in the history of major college
football at 44 games.
"I hadn't realized how this had all
built up on me," Columbia coach
larry McElreavy said Sunday. “I
don’t cry and I was crying on the
field. All the demons exorcised out of
my body."
Not since Oct. 15, 1983, when Col-
umbia beat Yale 21-18, had the Lions
walked off the field in triumph. In the
1,820 days that followed, Columbia
football gained infamy. The Lions
tied Bucknell, lost to Holy Cross, tied
Dartmouth on Nov. 5,1983. and then
began their spiralling descent.
In winning, Columbia played its
first turnover-free game since a 44-0
triumph over Fordham in 1972.
Sophomore Greg Abbruzzese rushed
for 182 yards, the most for a Lions’
running back since Doug Jackson
ran for 191 against Pennsylvania in
1975.
The Lions, a three-touchdown
underdog, won for the first time in
Lawrence A. Wien Stadium, where
they had lost 23 straight since it open-
ed in 1984.
