a timeout.
New York’s John Starks, who
was nearly the hero in Game 6
when his 3-point attempt could
have given the Knicks the title,
was 2-for-l8 from the field, in
cluding O-for-11 from 3-point
range. He finished with eight
points, half of what he had in
dominating the fourth quarter of
Game 6.
Maxwell finished with 21
points.
This was the first finals since
the 24-second shot clock was in
stalled in 1954 that neither team
reached 100 points in any game.
The largest margin of victory in
the series was nine points.
It was the 20th straight home
victory in a Game 7 and the 12th
title won at home in the 15 finals
that lasted seven games. But it
was only the second time in six
years that a team won the title on
its own court.
The Rockets worked long and
hard in a season that lasted all
four seasons of the year, begin
ning last fall and ending on the
second day of summer. They be
gan it with 15 straight victories
and ended with two in a row after
the Knicks took a 3-2 lead in the
finals.

as every game of the first seven-
game finals in six years was de
cided in the final three minutes.
It wasn’t a series for fans of ac
robatic moves, rim-rattling dunks
and no-look passes. It was a bat
tle for survival.
For the Rockets, it was their
first title after losing their other
two finals appearances, both in
six games to Boston in 1981 and
1986.
The Knicks were looking for
their first NBA title since 1973.
For Knicks coach Pat Riley,
trying to become just the second
coach to win titles with different
teams, it was a less welcome
milestone. Although he has four
championships, he is the second
coach to lose four finals.

that first gave man its

Robert Schantz said
once someone takes their
first flight, balloons get
into their system.
“I went for the first time
on a balloon ride in Cincin
nati, Ohio in 1976,” he
said. "Usually, if you go
once you’re hooked on it
and off you go.”
Boike said the many im
provements in the event
over the years should help
hook followers.
Lighted parking will be
available nearby on 38
acres of land. Boike said
the distance is easily walk-
able, but a shuttle bus be
available.
Power boat racing will
be featured for the first
time this year.
While picnic facilities
are available, 22 food ven
dors are listed in the pro
gram, selling a variety of
food such as German, Mex-
icaHi Cajun and Bar-B-Q.
Traditional fair snacks —
funnel cakes, ice cream,
cotton candy and snow-
cones - will also be avail
able.
Boike said the City of
Bryan upgraded the park
facilities this past year, in
cluding better power and
bathroom facilities.
"The City of Bryan has
been a blessing in disguise
with all these improve
ments,” he said.
Many different activities
are available while the bal
loons are on the ground
during the afternoon
hours.
Many, like the live
bands and petting zoo are
free except for the admis
sion charge.
"The balloons go up in
the morning and up in the
evening,” Boike said. "In
between, we had to come
up with 12 hours of things
to do.”
Boike said he hoped to
get the Bryan-College Sta
tion community, the stu
dents, its numerous spon
sors and out-of-town resi
dents to come out and ex
perience all that is avail
able.
“Our goal is to have a
hometown festival and cre
ate a big economic impact
for the community,” Boike
said. “It’s cheaper than a
movie, and you can see
more.”

Center, a private Arlington, Va., group that
cosponsored a landmark “Rape in America” study
in 1992. “And they have the most to lose, in
parental care, if they report an incident.”
“Some children who try to report a rape are not
believed,” added Patricia Toth, a former prosecu
tor who directs the private National Center for
Prosecution of Child Abuse in Alexandria, Va.
The statistics bureau, using police reports from
11 states and the District of Columbia, said girls
under 18 were the victims in 51 percent of rapes in
1992 even though girls of that age made up only
25 percent of the U.S. female population.
The 1992 “Rape in America” study found that
61.6 percent of all rapes victimized girls under age
18. But that study, adopted by the Senate Judicia
ry Committee in drafting rape prevention pro
grams now in the Senate’s version of the crime
bill, included rapes acknowledged by victims in in
terviews but not reported to police,
“Child and adolescent cases are the most like!;
to go unreported,” said Kirkpatrick, coauthon: cau lousi V I
the “Rape in America” study. Thus, “the govert
ment estimate is a severe underestimate becaus
they are only dealing with reported cases.” Kiri
Patrick found that only 10 percent of rape victim
under age 11 reported the crime.
Even the government agency warned that ill
calculation that girls under 12 accounted for I
percent of rape victims — or a total of 17,000 li
the 109,062 rapes reported to police in 1992—':
a conservative estimate because it was derive
from statistics on rapes reported to law enforct
ment officials and did not include unreportei
rapes.”
Also, the bureau said the 11 states and Distric
of Columbia “were probably not nationally repre
sentative” but merely the only states that kepi
rape data by age. The states are Alabama
Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Michigan
Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land and Wisconsin.
The “Rape in America” study also found ahigli
er percentage of rapes victimized girls in child
hood: it found girls under age 11 accounted to
29.3 percent of rape victims.
