SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A pro
posal to build an arena for the
San Antonio Spurs on county-
owned property could be ready
for public scrutiny next week,
Bexar County officials say.
Elected officials for the city
and county, meanwhile, are hold
ing meetings to iron out differ
ences between their two compet
ing arena plans.
San Antonio leaders want to
build a $203 million arena and
three-story parking garage next to
the city-owned Alamodome
downtown using revenues from a
half-cent sales tax increase.
Mayor Howard Peak has set an
Aug. 12 deadline to nail down an
agreement with the Spurs for assis
tance in financing the project.
On that date, the City Council
is to consider the final wording
for a tax increase to appear on the
Nov. 2 ballot.
Bexar County also is rushing to
put together a plan for an arena
to be built next to county-owned
Freeman Coliseum, a few miles
east of downtown.
Proceeds from event parking,
ticket sales and increased hotel-
motel and rental-car taxes would
help pay for the project, which
would also be financed with long
term debt.
County staff members emerged
midway through a private meeting
Tuesday with consultants to
announce they expect to have a
proposal ready for consideration
by county commissioners by
Monday at the earliest or Aug. 12
at the latest.

AUSTIN (AP) — More than a
year after his departure, former
University of Texas basketball
coach Tom Penders still finds
himself denying he ordered the
improper release of a player’s
grades to a radio station.
But in sworn depositions, for
mer and current UT employees
say Penders orchestrated the
release of former
guard Luke Axtell’s
grades and let
someone else take
the blame.
“This is all
ridiculous,”
Penders, who now
coaches at George
Washington
University, said.

but the truth. I’d

HOUSTON (AP) — Ron Low,
who turned down an offer to
return as coach of the NHL’s
Edmonton Oilers this season, will
join the IHL champion Houston
Aeros in a job that’s both a pro
motion and a demotion.
Low signed a three-year deal
yesterday to be the team’s general
manager and coach. The terms
were not disclosed.
He replaces Dave Tippett, who
left the Aeros for an assistant
coaching job with the NHL’s Los
Angeles Kings.
Low left the helm of the Oilers
last season after turning down a
one-year contract extension that
offered him no raise and would
have made him the lowest-paid
coach in the NHL.
“I’m actually a man of princi
ple, and I felt I did not deserve to
be the lowest-paid coach in the
league after five years and three
consecutive years of
playoffs with a very, veiy
budget hockey club,” Lows
Aeros owners Chuck
said he sought out Low bed
his reputation among 1
pie as a good motivator amk
oper of young talent.
“From the minute 11
and interviewed him, he
my first choice,” Aeros
Chuck Watson said.
Low was quick to explaii
he would leave the NHL and
sign with a minor league clid
“There’s a lot of peopi
are going to ask me the (jut'
’What do you feel about
out of the National
League?”’ Low said. “W

the National Hockey Leagu
can get’ ... I’m going to get*
my own show, and that
ultra-important to me.”
