The NFL had argued that federal antitrust law should not apply to re location decisions by sports leagues. But the justices refused the case without comment, thus clearing the way for the Raiders, formerly of Oakland, to remain in Los Angeles and for other sports franchises to re locate more freely. Action in the Raiders’ case now shifts to San Francisco, where a fed eral appeals court must decide whether to uphold a $55 million jury award — $40 million for the Raid ers, and $15 million for the Los An geles Coliseum. In New York City, an NFL spokesman said the league would ask the Supreme Court to review the “important issues” in the case again after the appeals court acts. “We are disappointed that the Su preme Court chose not to review the interim lower court rulings in the Raiders’ case at this time,” the spokesman said. The Raiders’ move has been em broiled in litigation since 1979 when controlling partner A1 Davis con tested the NFL’s effort to block his team’s move to Los Angeles.

Ford was a center on the Univer sity of Michigan football team in the 1930s and considered a much better than average college player although President Lyndon Johnson once re marked, “He played too many times without his helmet.” Richard Nixon, whom Ford re placed as president, also was on his college football team at Whittier in California, although he spent much of his time on the bench. Nixon also was a great baseball fan. Reagan, known as “Dutch,” re created sports events — mostly track, meets — for radio station WHO in Des Moines, Iowa, during the 1930s. He also announced an estimated 600 baseball games for the Chicago Cubs and 45 football games for the Uni versity of Iowa. Reagan’s fondest memory of his sports broadcasting career was cov ering the 21-game winning streak of the 1935 Cubs. Reagan was covering the Cubs at their Catalina Island spring training site off the California coast in 1937 when he had his first screen test. Three years later he won the part of George Gipp in “The Knute Rockne Story.” President Calvin Coolidge holds the presidential record of most con secutive World Series games at tended by a president. Coolidge and his wife attended the three games of the 1924 Series played in Washing ton, D.C. It was one of the most ex citing Series and was won by the Sen ators over the New York Giants, four games to three. The taciturn and often aloof Coolidge is well remembered for a meeting with Harold “Red” Grange, the famed Galloping Ghost of the II- lini, after the player turned profes sional with the Chicago Bears. “What do you do for a living?” Coolidge asked Grange. “I’m with the Chicago Bears,” re plied Grange. “That’s nice,” said Coolidge, “I like animal acts.” thought the slow-moving g; might detract from his image i young and virile president.
