Under antitrust laws, the award was trebled to $3. The 4-year-old league operated for three years with a spring-sum- would seek a court injunction asking that the NFL be required to drop one of its three network TV con tracts. He said the league also would seek a new hearing on damages be cause of what it considered to be the confusion some jurors had in decid ing on the amount when they reached their verdict last Tuesday. Id t to de tobert thm' The immediate effect of the deci sion was to leave in limbo the con tracts of the dozen or so remaining star-quality players, including Jim Kelly and Kelvin Bryant, all of whom could step into the NFL im mediately. The USFL appointed a committee to discuss the situation with the league’s players association but no immediate resolution was ex pected. Herschel Walker and Doug Flutie, two Heisman Trophy winners with the New Jersey Generals, have per sonal service contracts with Donald Trump, the club’s owner. “The emotional decision was to play this year but sometimes you have to make a business decision. This was a business decision. ” — Lee Scarfone Tampa Bay Bandits owner mer schedule. It was to have opened its first fall schedule Sept. 13 and the first training camps were set to open Aug. 14. The last time any USFL players suited up was July 1985 for the league championship game. The agreement not to play this year came less than a week after a Commissioner Harry Usher said the decision to suspend operations would leave the USFL free to consol idate operations this year, then seek a television contract for next year. And some owners were hoping that if the NFL goes on strike next year, the USFL could come in to fill the void. Meanwhile, he said, the USFL But as for this year, he said: “Because of the unbelievable im possibility of effectively playing pro football without a television agreement with a network, we are postponing play until the injunctive relief is granted or until the eradica tion of the confusion created by this $1 damage award.” The immediate effect seemed to be confusion among players and even USFL employees. There was no immediate reaction from the stars who would be wel comed into the NFL immediately, like Walker, Bryant, Kelly and Irv Eatman, although Bob Woolf, ; ,cl|-u[J for Flutie, said his client see; j6 I he bound to the tieneralsbvli loggy. sonal services contract. if, ch 1 But lesser players were awarektlod it might mean the end of their; out a ball careers, particularly invieJkirig two-year layoff that might Juston their reactions to slow. at Hat i is “I’ve got to start looking for Haw; othei job. fhat’s what it boil-L lele to,” said Jonathan Sutton, ; the at 1 fensive back with the B, jack K Stars.

Hosting Olympics possible for Housto HOUSTON (AP) — The U.S. Olympic Festival completed its most successful performance and moved on Monday, leaving behind the, groundwork for helping the city host more top amateur events, per haps even the Olympics. City officials already had an nounced preliminary plans to seek the Olympic Games in the year 2000, and they now hope to host other ma jor amateur events. The Olympic Festival, held in one of the nation’s largest cities and add ing “Olympic” to its title for the first time, drew a record crowd of more than 340,000 for the 10-day extrava ganza. Officials figures won’t be available for about a week, organiz ers said. The previous record was 250,000 at Indianapolis in 1982, and at Colo rado Springs, Colo., in 1983. The recent major league All-Star Game in the Astrodome and the Olympic Festival added an estimated $25 million to the city’s struggling economy. “We thought we could generate $20 million for the city if the All-Star Game could generate $4 million to $5 million,” said Jack Kelly, exec utive director of the local organizing committee. “There has been a lot of talk among ourselves about the Olympics.” Local organizers said 21 groups or companies committed $10,000 or more toward sponsorship of the event. Sponsorships surpassed $2 million. Attendance records were estab lished in individual sports, including a sellout crowd of 15,630 for Sun day’s final gymnastics performance in The Summit. The four-day gym nastics competition drew a record 47,274 fans. Ernest Deal, chairman of the local organizing committee, said his group hopes to use the momentum from the Olympic Festival to draw other top amateur events to the city, including the Olympic Games. “We plan in the next couple of weeks to sit down with Mayor (Kathy) Whitmire and make recom mendations,” Deal said. “One of those recommendations will be to form an ongoing effort to take ad vantage of the momentum from the Festival.” The Olympics in the year 2000 apparently would be the first chance Houston has to bid for the event. The 1988 Olympics Games are scheduled for Seoul, South Korea and the host for the 1992 Games will be announced in October by the In- Men’s volleyball was just part of U.S. Olympic Festival — ’86 in the action in the Houston. Orga nizers say the Festival set attendance records with over 340,000 attending the various events. ternational Olympic Committee. The 1996 Games allegedly are being aimed at either Athens, site of the first modern Olympics in 1896, or Paris. General George D. Miller, secre tary general of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said Houston had ex pressed interest in hosting the Pan American Games and the Olympics. “It’s clear the necessary facilities are available and hotels and trans portation seem adequate to support that,” Miller said. Houston would like to follow the example of Indianapolis, which hosted the Festival in 1982 then won the bid to host the Pan American Games in 1987 as well as ij Olympic trials in several sports. Miller said the Olympics J wouldn’t be held in the UnitedS until the turn of the century. Deal thinks the Festival pf' mance has given the local organ 1 ’ committee the financial basef essary to pursue future evenis. A&M’s Heard to begin sprint trip in Europe Texas A&M sophomore Floyd Heard leaves for European meets to day after finishing second in the 200-meter dash in the U.S. Olympic Festival in Houston. Heard was .05 seconds off Olym pic silver medalist Kirk Baptiste’s winning time of 20.41.

Nelson said in international meets a runner can’t step on the line dur ing the race, while in NCAA compe tition a runner can step on the line once, but not for two consecutive steps. Heard will be running with the Team Adidas group in Europe. Joining Heard are Lee MacRae, who was part of the winning East 400 squad, John Marshall of Villanova, and Arkansas’ Roddie Haley, the Southwest Conference 400-meter dash champion.
