Rollie White Coliseum. All 15 of Coach Lynn Hickey’s Lady Aggies earned playing time with all but one of them figuring into the final scoring tally.

Sophomore guard LaTanya Turner was A&M’s leader on the boards with six re bounds. Frederice Burnice led Prarie View in both scoring and rebounding with 12 points and nine rebounds. Sharese Bell chipped in 11 points for the Panthers. Prarie View jumped out to a 10-6 advantage early in the game as Bell gunned a couple of three-pointers from 20-feet out. Texas A&M came right back, though, going up 14-10 on baskets by Irving, Russo, Diane DeCree and Sheri Dillard, and the Lady Aggies never looked back as they built a 42-38 halftime lead and cruised on to their final 40-point margin.

Mays, UT stomp UTA by 40 AUSTIN (AP) — Travis Mays scored 25 points as Texas routed Texas-Arlington 116-66 Tuesday night in the Longhorns’ season opener.

The Longhorns bombarded the Mavericks with four straight 3-pointers at the close of the first half, opening up a 58-27 lead. Mays made three of the premium shots and Lance Blanks the other. The victory was the third-big- gest in school history, to the Longhorns 148-71 win over Northern Montana in 1978. Texas, which set several re cords in the SWC for three-point shooting last season, was 10-of-28 from the arc on the night in front of 8,344 fans.

Baylor bombs Bobcats 112-8 WACO (AP) —Julius Denton scored 21 points as the Baylor Bears jumped off to a 11-0 lead and coasted to a 112-81 win Tues day over Southwest Texas State University.

Cuba’s financial problems could doom games INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Havana is preparing tor the 1991 Pan American Games under a heavy burden: U.S. television coverage is uncertain, sports and hous ing facilities have not been built and some key sports are in jeopardy. In addition, the U.S. State and Treasury depart ments will not make it easy for Cuba to finance the event with U.S. money, sources told The Indianapolis Star. American sports fans will need special permission to travel to Cuba and spend money there, said Barry Frank, senior vice president of International Manage ment Group in New York. “I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the end of the Pan Am Games,” said Pete Cava, a spokesman for The Ath letics Congress, the national governing body for track and field based in Indianapolis. “Cuba can’t make it without U.S. dollars.” Indianapolis hosted the 1987 Pan Am Games after Chile and Ecuador said they could not bear the ex pense. The Games have never turned a profit. If Cuba were forced to withdraw as host, sports offi cials say, it is unlikely any other nation could step in to rescue the games on such short notice. The Havana games suffered a recent blow when the U.S. T reasury Department forbade ABC-TV from 0 ecuting a $9 million contract with Cuba’s organic committee. U.S. companies are not allowed to do bit ness with the communist island unless they obtain waiver from the federal government. ABC sought a waiver but then withdrew its request “My understanding is that ABC is going to util® different approach,” said President Robert H. Helm 1 of the U.S. Olympic Committee. The network might pay the money to a third pat- such as the Games’ umbrella Pan American Sportsft ganization based in Mexico City. Another possibii would be to “pay” Cuba in the form of equipment, n 1 forms and other U.S. merchandise, sports officialssa® “There is some sensitivity on the subject becans ABC went ahead on its negotiations with Cuba with# the knowledge of the U.S.,” said Greg Harney, dire® of international games preparation for the U.S. Obt Yni ( pic Committee. A U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman, Mike Mora- said he wasn’t sure how much Cuba was relying on ABC money to build its sports venues and its nousi for the athletes. “At this point, there has been no word of anyM about canceling or relocating the games,” he said.
