I know this might be different around Here said Irsay referring to the Way the Colts vigorously pursue experienced veterans after losing to Cleveland in the acc divisional playoffs. But this is the Way goo teams do it. You Challenge yourself every year. Now i really like our mix of youth and expert  the Colts lost first and second round draft picks apart of the Eric Dickerson Deal so they chose another route to Shore up weak areas. They made minor Trade for veterans who were receiving Little playing time else where. Or they went after older players released around the league. As a result there will be some intriguing Battles for the 45-Man Active roster. Of the 21 defensive backs invited to Camp 18 have previous nil experience 13 of the 14 wide receivers who will report to Camp have experience All 13 de Cal from Page 21 expenses in the face of declining fan interest and reve Nues.

Mitchell named Jacksonville Birmingham ala.,Memphis, tenn., St. Louis Oakland Baltimore port land ore., Sacramento calif., and new York As Likely entries for a new league or As potential Cal franchises. Oakland St. Louis and Baltimore have lost nil franchises to other cities.

He said it was hard to say what the modifications would be but added i think fundamentally what you d want to protects the right of Canadian players to  Mitchell said he conceived of two divisions one Canadian the other american. If we had a Canadian division that played for the Grey cup and some interlocking games then after that the Grey cup Champion played the Southern Divisio Champion maybe Canadian fans Are ready for it he said. Mitchell said expansion generates new cities new enthusiasm and excitement and we Don t have any new cities in Canada to go into. Even with the new $3-million operating Cap i think it would be very difficult for cities like London. Ont., or Halifax to break  he said . Cities would be interested in joining Thecil because it is an established league preferable to new leagues like the world football league of the 1970s and the Usel which folded two years ago. We offer them longevity which they Don t have he said of the 75-year-old Cal. Pensive linemen have seen nil action and seven of the nine running backs have league experience. If some of these elder statesmen Are Only delaying retirement they will be sliced from the fold quickly. But those with football life left As Well As a few draftees who could make an immediate Impact will see extensive action in the Colts four preseason games starting aug. 6 at Tampa Bay.

In the defensive line the Colts created some locker room grumbling when they rewarded Joe Klecko witha $150,000 signing Bonus and $300,000 base salary. But Klecko Cut by the new York jets will be Worth it if he solves the Colts problem at nose tackle. Ezra Johnson from Green Bay also could bolster the pass  running Back one of the biggest question Marks centers on Randy Mcmillan. After a season off follow ing an Auto Accident can Mcmillan regain the form that made him the Colts top rusher in four of five years and if so will he fit into a Backfield that already has a superstar in Dickerson and a rising Star in Albert Bentley Trump joins Tyson team of advisers new York not Mike Tyson who is embroiled in a bitter financial and Legal dispute with Bill Cayton whom the heavyweight Cham Pion says is no longer his manager monday welcomed Donald Trump the multimillionaire real estate Developer As an adviser on his ring and business careers.

On june 17, he followed the National labor relations Board s Lead in declaring that an impasse existed in bargaining leading the Union to Hope he would Grant their injunction claiming that impasse meant the Case had become an antitrust dispute rather than one involving labor and management. However Doty said he did not agree that the pres ence of an impasse signifies the end of a labor dispute. Indeed a bargaining impasse is by definition Salabor dispute he said. Tan impasse merely signifies a stalemate in negotiations. It does not Mark the end of labor relations.
