Culberson Assistant Sports Editor The Texas A&M women’s basket ball team dominated Baylor 92-70 Saturday in G. Rollie White Col iseum, moving into a tie for fourth place in the Southwest Conference and increasing their chances of gain ing one of the six conference tourna ment slots. The Lady Aggies improved to 5-5 in SWC play, 1 1-9 overall, while the Bears fell to the basement at 3-8, 9- 13 overall. The Lady Ags are tied with Texas Tech, just one game out of second place .behind Southern Methodist and Houston. A&M was quick out of the starting block, jumping to a 15-4 lead five minutes into the first half. The Lady Aggie fastbreak was hot, as was guard Donna Roper who scored 10 of the first 15 points. Baylor went to a full-court press to try to slow the A&M break, while the outside shooting of forward Maggie Davis kept the Bears in the game. Hickey said. “We need about 50 per cent of our scoring to come from the fastbreak and 50 percent to come from our halfcourt offense.” Baylor pulled within 10, 60-50, on a layup by Doty Henson, after more excellent shooting from Davis cou pled with A&M fouls. A&M increased their lead to 66- 54 with 11:13 left and then scored eight unanswered points in the next two minutes to stretch its lead to 20. Baylor called a timeout at the eight-minute mark with the score 74-56, and came back by scoring the next two points on the resuming play. That was the last time Baylor trailed by less than 20. The press worked, but the Lady Aggies responded with an effective inside game led by center Lisa Jor don and reserve Louise Madison. A&M had expanded their lead 48-34 by the halftime break. “Four or five weeks ago everyone knew to press A&M,” Head Coach Lynn Hickey said, “but I think we did a good job of keeping our heads this time.” The game matched the SWC top two scorers, Davis and Roper, No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. Roper was 8- of-9 from the floor and scored 18 to tal points in the first half, topping her season game average of 17.6. Davis hit 8-of-13 field goal attempts and scored 20 first half points, one short of her game average of 21. A&M outrebounded Baylor 21-10 in the first half, led by Jordon who grabbed 10 boards. “I feel we have to run to win,” The Lady Aggies scored seven more unanswered points on the lay ups and free throw shooting of Mad ison and reserve Veronda Round- tree to making the score 81-60 with 4:45 left on the clock. Two more free throws from Mad ison practically put the game away with 3:10 left-in the game with the score 86-64. A&M hit 70 percent of its second half field goals and shot 66.7 percent for the game, while Baylor shot 58.3. Davis lead all scorers, shooting 13- of-21 and 12-of-16 from the free- throw line. Roper led A&M, shoot ing 10-of-15 for the floor and l-of-3 from the line for a total of 21. Jor don and Madison both scored 17 and they combined for 25 rebounds. “We didn’t stop Davis,” Hickey said. “But we contained their other players.” “It (the game) was a lot of fun,” Hickey said. She said before the game it was a “have-to” win for A&M. She added after the game that A&M needed to beat Texas Chris tian, Rice and one other team for the Lady Aggies to land a spot in the tourney. The Lady Aggies travel to Fayet- tville, Ark. Tuesday where they will face the Razorbacks, followed by Rice in Houston Saturday.

Jansen’s sister, Jane, died of leu kemia Sunday morning, and several hours later, the world sprint cham pion fell in the 500-meter race. “Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be,” he said. “My family doesn’t want me to go home now and I know Jane wouldn’t want that.” After one false start, Jansen slid out of the inside lane and crashed into Yasushi.Kuroiwa. Jansen got up and slapped his knees. He jerked his hood off and hid his head in his hands. Frustra tion and sorrow were.etched on his face. Kuroiwa was given another chance in the 500 meters. Jansen, who was not allowed a res kate, will have to wait until Thurs day’s 1,000 meters to go for the gold medal. Jansen said the fall came so fast. “I can’t remember much. My first 100 wasn’t normal for me. It felt like it slipped out from under me, and the next thing I knew I was in the mats.” Earlier in the day, a barroom brawler from Finland, Matti Nyka- nen, easily won the 70-meter ski- jump event. He can become the first jumoer in the Olympics to win two gold medals if he successfully de fends his Olympic title on the 90-me ter hill Wednesday. At the same time, the Olympic comeback of Finland’s 1984 triple gold medalist Marja-Liisa Kirves- niemi was spoiled by a young stu dent from the Soviet Union. The hurricane-force winds that made it diffucult to stand, let alone race on skis, forced postponement of the men’s downhill. The race was rescheduled for Monday, when 98 miles-per-hour winds were expected to abate. The speed skating gold went to Jens-Uew Mey of East Germany in a world-record time of 36.45 seconds. Jan Ykema of the Netherlands was the winner of the the silver, and Akira Kuroiwa of Japan got the bronze. Thometz finished eighth. “It’s been a real tough time for the people on the team,” U.S. Coach Mike Crowe said. “We pulled together a little to night for Dan. “In circumstances like these it’s al ways difficult for people to get up and skate the way they would have liked.” The 24-year-old Nykanen soared 89.5 meters on both his jumps to eas ily win the 70-meter. If he wins the 90-meter, he would become the first man to win both jumping gold medals since the event was split in 1964. Finnish Coach Matti Pulli said he still thinks Nykanen has a good chance for the other medal because of the temper that has gotten Nyka nen into barroom fights and sus pended from the team, and earned him the nickname Matti Nukes. “Yes, he’s still strong-headed at times,” Pulli said. “But you need to be like that to win gold medals. In Finland we have many nice athletes, polite people, but they don’t win gold medals.” Pavel Ploc of Czechoslovakia won the 70-meter silver, and countryman Jiri Malec took the bronze. Vida Ventsene, a 23-year-old So viet, won the first gold medal of the Games when she finished the wom en’s 10-kilometer cross-country ski race in 30 minutes, 8.3 seconds. Kirvesniemi, who won all three in dividual events and had a bronze medal in the relay at the 1984 Sara jevo Games, was ninth. At age 32, Kirvesniemi came back this summer from two years’ retire ment and the birth of her daughter, and she still has three more chances for a medal — in the 5- and 20-kilo- meter races and the 20-kilometer re- lay. Raisa Smetanina, 36-year-old So viet veteran, won the silver, and Marjo Matinainen of Finland took “I can’t remember much. My first 100 wasn’t nor mal for me. It felt like it slipped out from under me, and the next thing I knew I was in the mats.” — Dan Jansen, U.S. speed skater hind her husband, Richard, ILp | three daughters — agesl,3aii(l!l one , Jansen indicated through L v h team he would stay for Thun K ( | ^ 1,000-meter race. j nu , Fhe family postponed feBgay services until Saturday so he, compete in the W'inieiOlvuipics. » e i| During live training' runs, ^ |[ n downhill shaped up as a battle| s f r( past and present.

Jansen learned early Sunday morning that his sister had died of leukemia back home in Wisconsin. Jansen, the youngest of nine chil dren, won the World Sprint Speed Skating championships last weekend at West Allis, Wis. His sister, Jane Beres, was too sick to accompany him to Calgary, so he had hoped she could watch him w in gold on television. Ruth Crouse, nursing supervisor at West Allis Memorial Hospital, said Beres’ leukemia worsened over night, “and she became very critical early this morning, and from there it was pretty much downhill.” She died at 9:57 a.m., leaving be- beat France 13-2, and Canada< feated Poland 1-0 Group Agairft The United States’next g Monday night against Czechoslot kia, and the Americans play the S' viets Wednesday.
