SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Spurs
owner Red McCombs is denying re
ports that he has been negotiating to
sell the NBA franchise in recent
days.
Unnamed sources told the San
Antonio Express-News that a group
of businessmen is engaged in serious
talks with McCombs about purchas
ing the Spurs, who have made a dra
matic turnaround after sinking to
21-61 last season.
“There’s nothing to it,” McCombs
said after the Spurs’ 111-98 victory
over the Miami Heat on Saturday.
“The club is not for sale. I haven’t
talked to anybody.”

The sources told the newspaper
that a group of potential buyers was
in the city for several days last week
and will continue negotiations with
McCombs this week. Sources indi
cated that earnest money, showing
seriousness of intent, could ex
change hands this week.
The franchise could be sold for
$70-75 million and would remain in
San Antonio, the sources said.
“I don’t have any idea where this
is coming from,” McCombs said.
“Number one, it’s not for sale. Num
ber two, 1 haven’t talked to anyone.”
McCombs said he hasn’t received
any inquiries from potential buyers
in “about two months,” though he
added, “I don’t keep records on
those things.”
McCombs said he was approached
by parties interested in buying the
Spurs “two or three times a month”
last season, when the club finished
with the worst record in its history.
“I never knew how serious some of
those people were,” McCombs said.
McCombs became the Spurs’ ma-
stockholder in 1988, when he
mght Angelo Drossos’ share for
$47 million.

Ag track team opens outdoor
season In College Station Relays
By NADJA SABAWALA
Of The Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M track team kicks
off its outdoor season in the College
the
Station Relays this weekend at the
Frank G. Anderson Track Complex.
The Aggies finished the indoor
season with a second place finish in
last weekend’s NCAA Indoor Cham
pionships at Indianapolis, Ind.
“We had a really super perfor
mance,” head coach Charlie Thomas
said.
Arkansas edged out A&M by
eight points, but, Thomas said, the
Aggies have a good chance of beat
ing them in the outdoor season.
“We feel like we can beat Arkan
sas,” he said. “We just couldn’t over
come them because they have so
many long distance runners stacking
their team.”
Thomas said that when the out
door season begins, A&M will pick
up some of its stronger events.
Two athletes stand out in this
year’s squad, he said. Junior shotput-
ter Mike Stulce and junior sprinter
Andre Cason each led the team with
first-place victories.
Stulce’s throw of 70-6 1/4 was a
personal best as well as the longest
recorded throw in the world for this
year. He beat the second place com
petitor’s throw by over six feet.
“I think the point’s not to throw
far, it’s to dominate the event,”
Stulce said.
The only two throws this year
over 70-feet were thrown by Stulce,
who has improved his personal best
by over 18 inches in one year.
Cason was equally as impressive in
the meet, taking first place in the 55-
meter dash with a time of 6.07 sec
onds. His previous time of 6.04 is the
world’s fastest 55-meter dash time
this year and the fourth fastest ever.
The College Station Relays give
A&M the opportunity for a fresh
start, Thomas said.
“Our indoor people are getting
this time to rest,” Thomas said. “And
the outdoor people will just be be
ginning.”
He said last week’s second place
finish gives the team the confidence
it needs for the outdoor season.
The Aggies and Lousiana State
have the upper 'hand in the relays
but A&M is at a disadvantage after
losing two of its top competitors to
injuries.
At the NCAA indoor meet, Stulce
hurt his elbow while throwinj
possibly will sit out for two wee!
addition to Stulce, senior spi
Howard Davis broke his foot
will he out for at least SQei
Thomas said. Davis is a two-til
NCAA Indoor All -American anil
member of the 1,600-meter reli
team that set a new school reca
with a time of 3:08.57.
However, the Aggies have oili
stars. Junior Steve Lofton notonh
a defensive back for the A&M foo
ball team, but a quick sprinter inn
lays.
“We were looking for a goodqu;
ter-miler and we found him inStfi
Lofton,” Thomas said. Lofton coni
turn out to be a reliable anchor!
well as a good sprinter, he said.
The women’s track team has
tential as well, but LSU has a powd
ful team, Thomas said.
Junior high jumper Sandra Hiu
will enter outdoor competido
ranked eighth in the NCAA. Hine
previous jump of 5-11.25 tied^
with the school record.
Thomas said he is optimistic aboi
this weekend’s competition, whit
begins with preliminaries at 8:i
a.m. Friday and multiple events Fn
day and Saturday at noon.
