Wife abuse may
Super Bowl, according
during
to study
NEW YORK (AP) — The Super
Bowl could bring out the worst in a
marriage, some experts in family vi
olence believe.
Rana Lee, community education
assistant at Marin Abused Women’s
Services in the San Francisco Bay
area, said her informal research
shows a marked increase in calls to
women’s crisis centers and hotlines
from battered women on Super
Bowl night.
“The Super Bowl is by far the
worst ... I’m expecting it to be a
nightmare,” she said.
While the game may not cause vi
olence directly, those who specialize
in such problems say a combination
of the aggressive sport, drinking, de
pressing winter weather and possible
disappointment over a losing team
can exacerbate an already abusive
relationship.
“If you watch something violent
and you don’t work it off, you work
it up,” says Murray Straus, a socio
logist who specializes in family vio
lence at the University of New
Hampshire at Durham. “Studies
have proved that the more people
watch violence, the more they them
selves will be violent.”
Yet most people will not be
pushed to that level, he says: “It has
the greatest effect on people who are
already predisposed to be aggres
sive.”
“A non-violent husband will not
turn around and suddenly hit you,”
says Lee, a former battered woman
who left her husband of 3 ‘/a years
shortly after she was abused during
a Super Bowl game. “We had had vi
olent incidents for years.”
She remembers one game that
ended with her husband throwing (
beer cans at her. “I got angry when
one hit me, but when I yelled at him
the beating got worse,” she says.
Candace Rios, a counselor at a
Chicago battered women’s shelter,
says she received at least 15 calls af
ter last year’s Super Bowl, compared
with the average six calls for a Sun
day night.
O’Meara leads $600,000 Phoenix Open
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) —-
Mark O’Meara birdied four of his
first five holes en route to an 8-un-
der-par 63 and the lead Thursday
before darkness halted the first
round of the $600,000 Phoenix
Open.
Frost and frozen greens delayed
the start of play 1 Va hours, backed
up the starting times and eventually
left 45 of the 144-man field stranded
on the course by darkness.
They marked their positions on
the new TPC course at Scottsdale
and were due to return at daylight
Friday to complete first-round play.
The second round was to start as
originally scheduled at 8:30 a.m.
CST, weather permitting.
Of those left on the course, D.A.
Weibring and lefty Ernie Gonzalez
had the best 9-hole scores, 3-under-
par 33s on the back nine.
Officials had no option in de
laying play, O’Meara said.
“Early this morning it was just too
cold to play,” O’Meara said. “I went
out to hit balls and the 10th green
was solid ice.
“We just had to wait for the sun to
come out. Once we got out there it
was a delightful day.”
And the game’s touring pros —
most of them, at least — took full ad
vantage of what Brad Faxon called
“ideal scoring conditions,” mild tem
peratures and just the hint of a
breeze.
Scoring was exceptionally low,
with 27 of the 72 early starters shoot
ing in the 60s on the 6,992-yard
course that was being played in com
petition for the first time.
Tom Weiskopf, the former Brit
ish Open champ who worked with
architect Jay Morrish on the design
and construction of the course, was
not among them. Weiskopf, now an
infrequent player on the Tour, hit
four into the water on the back nine
and shot 80.
Faxon, not yet a winner in three
full seasons on the PGA Tour,
scored four birdies and an eagle in a
5-hole stretch and took second
among the early finishers at 64.
Baylor nips
Arkansas
by one point
WACO (AP) — Led by Michael
Williams’ 16 points and Frank
Williams’ 1 1 rebounds, the Baylor
Bears defeated the Arkansas Ra-
zorbacks 63-62 before 6,235 at
the Heart o’ Texas Coliseum.
The Razorbacks, now 2-4 in
conference and 1 1-8 overall, led
by six points, 61-56, with 2:45 re
maining in the game. Then the
Bears, now 4-2, and 9-7
overall, made their final 8-point
surge to the finish.
Frank Williams, who scored 15
points for the night, was 7 of 13
on the line. Fie shot free throws
during Baylor’s last three posses
sions, hitting four of six down the
stretch to give the Bears the final
lead.
Arkansas led throughout the
first half and lead by as many as
seven before ending the half with
a 33-29 Razorback lead.
For Arkansas, Tim Scott led all
scorers, pumping in 12 points.
He was followed by Allie Free
man, with nine points. The Ra
zorbacks shot 53 percent from
the floor.
Baylor head coach Gene Iba
said, “This was a very big win for
us. Frank’s ( Williams) play down
the stretch won it for us.”
Before the game started, a mo
ment of silence was observed for
Arkansas head coach Nolan Rich
ardson’s 15-year-old daughter,
Yvonne, who died Thursday of
leukemia.
