Pam wants to help pro athletes with their finances once she completes her education in business economics She said she'd like to negotiate a contract for her sister's fiance Daryl Strawberry a highly regarded prospect in the New York Mets' farm system "He won't marry Paula if he doesn't deal with me" Pam said jokingly Basketball is fun but love is better Paula said "Daryl and I don't see each other as superstars just as people" she said "We're always there for each other" The twins want to be there for the young girls of the 1980s "We never had a role model to follow" Pam said "We hope this will be a new decade for women athletes "We need to break down the chauvinistic barrier that says women athletes aren't feminine Off the court we are strictly ladies We want to project that image all the time" Paula has a slightly different goal "I want to teach kids to use basketball to better themselves" she said "The better you like yourself the better the person you can become" Pretty deep stuff for the twins with the Hollywood touch huh? Continued from First Page When the technician cues them the twins recite their message in a singsong manner: "Hi I'm Paula and I'm Pam and we're from USC" They almost make it through the short script without a hitch But then Pam gets momentarily tongue-tied and her sister corrects her "Pam just say it and stop being a smart aleck" After a couple more takes the blurb is complete Paula the quiet one raises her arms triumphantly and yells "Look out Hollywood!" She might just as well have yelled "Look out women's basketball!" Three years ago when they left Flint Mich and headed for LA the twins would have had a hard time imagining what the future had in store They had always been cautioned by their mother not to cut up in public And they had been told by their father that basketball was a waste they should learn to cook and sew Murderess Row: McGee McGee and Miller But now the McGees each 6-3 and 170 constitute two-thirds of the finest front line in women's basketball Along with freshman Cheryl Miller they have drawn the spotlight to their sport and they are flourishing A national championship this weekend is a distinct possibility "They may be the best line in the history of the women's they are definitely the best off-the-court act" says the Philadelphia Inquirer's Mel Greenberg who has covered the sport since the days when three dribbles was the max and the girls weren't allowed to run the length of the court for fear they'd faint "The Hollywood act helps us keep our sanity" said Pam "We're exciting to entertainers out we don't think of ourselves as celebrities" Paula the more introverted of the twins thought that over "Our lives are not based on basketball" she said "We'll be basketball players for four years but we'll be sisters for life and twins forever That's deep isn't it? I usually let Pam have fun running her mouth but not all the time" Their father who drowned in a 1978 accident might have had a hard time understanding what the twins have become But they think he would have approved "You have to remember he was from the Deep South and they didn't have women's sports" Paula said The girls were 15 when he died Their mother who worked on the line at a Buick plant had to take over as primary wage earner and influence She was laid off two years ago and had to support the family of four (plus three foster children) on unemployment for 12 months Mrs McGee has recently been retrained as a bus Winston Metric 160 STEEL IIMOL511 KWkAAAJc BLACK-WALLS 155 SR-12 145 SR-13 155 S11-113 165 SR-13 175 SR-I 4 165 SR-IS Sale $2996 13E91: 3298 34:88 4086' 40:68 FET 142 140 154 166 191 189 WIDE 70 SERIES 17570SR-130s5-131 18570SR-131165-131 18570SR-141165441 19570SR-14115s-13l Excellent Traction Easy Handling High Quality Long Mileage Sale 183 217 FET 173 193 6 Winston Metric 160 cctit r4 STEEL INADIIAL NI A (6) ea ga1 ti Excellent 0 5 Easy Handling 1t os 1 1 A PLUS FE 155 SR-I High (Duality i For 1-- cars I i Wan Long Mileage --x i It I WA- WALLS- Sale EU WIDE 70 SERIES Sale FET 41 01 dig ll 1555R-12 $29496 142 175705R-13ms-13i $3876 173 A 4 1455R-13 3191 140 185705R-13065-131 4188 183 0 Ny or 474 1555R-13 3298 154 tt io 165SR-13 34:88 166 18570SR-14(165-141 CEO) 193 otte: 1755R-14 4086' 191 195705R-141155-13l 5198 217 1655R-15 40:68 189 mmmmIE Sale Ends 41683 Nobody offers a tiremarranityjikejNinston Sale Ends 41683 Our Bonded Warranty is now better than ever It now gives you 3-way protection Road-Hazards Defects and Minimum Mileage Ask our Manager OUR BEST STEEL RADIAL EXTRA 491?
