Colts looking for new home
United Press International
BALTIMORE — National Foot
ball League officials say a plan by
Baltimore Colts owner Robert Irsay
to move the franchise will be dis
cussed at the league owners’ meet
ing at the end of the month in Dal
las.
The planned discussions were re
vealed Monday while Gov. Harry
Hughes was saying Irsay assured
him that he has not made up his
mind about taking the team out of
Baltimore. Hughes said Irsay told
him during a telephone conversa
tion last week that he would con
sider the state’s plans to improve
Memorial Stadium before deciding
to move the Colts.
Hughes’ staff is expected to com
plete a report this week stating that
it will cost less than the $25 rnillion
estimated for the improvements.
Irsay wants to expand the number of
unobstructed seats as a condition for
keeping the team in Baltimore.
NFL officials said that Irsay’s
plans to move the team will be dis
cussed by owners at their Dallas
meeting despite the Colts owner’s
reported assurances to Hughes that
he is keeping an open mind on the
issue.
NFL Executive Director Don
Weiss said Irsay has asked to have
his proposal placed on the agenda at

Campbell s ‘20’
retired by
Longhorns
United Press International
DALLAS — Houston Oilers run
ning back Earl Campbell, currently
the leading rusher in the National
Football League, became the first
former University of Texas football
player to have his jersey retired by
his alma mater.
The UT System board of regents
voted to retire Campbell’s jersey
number — 20 — which he wore
during his four-year career with the
Longhorns.
Campbell, who won the Heisman
Trophy during his senior year in
1977, rushed for 4,443 yards during
his career, a school and Southwest
Conference record.
The Tyler, Texas native rushed
for more than 100 yards in 21 games
while a Longhorn. He led Texas to a
11-0 regular season in 1977 and the
SWC title before the Longhorns
were defeated in the Cotton Bowl
by Notre Dame.
Campbell was the NFL’s leading
rusher last year and also won
Rookie-of-the-Year honors. He re
turned to UT last spring and com
pleted requirements for a degree in
speech communication.
the meetings set for Oct. 31 and
Nov. 1. He said the owners would
probably only hear arguments on Ir
say’s request without acting on it.
Irsay would only be allowed to
move the team if 21 of the 28 owners
approve the move.
At least two major cities have
made offers to Irsay, who frequently
makes known his intention to move
the team from Baltimore.
Jacksonville, Fla. has offered
Irsay a guaranteed $6 million for 10
years plus improvements to the
Gator Bowl.
The Memphis Commercial Ap
peal reported Monday that Irsay has
been offered $7.5 million by the city
of Memphis plus improvements to
Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. In
return Memphis wants Irsay to sign
a 22-year lease.
Irsay has said accused city and
state officials of breaking their prom
ises to improve Memorial Stadium.
He has made repeated threats to
move the team to Jacksonville, Fla.,
Memphis or Los Angeles.
Irsay could not be reached for
comment.
