Lady Ags maul
By Curtis L. 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.

Speed skater fails in attempt to win medal for sister p'
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — The
day began in tragedy and ended in
disaster for Dan Jansen, a U.S. speed
skater who carried the Winter Olym
pic hopes of America and the inspi
ration of his dying sister.
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.”

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.”
