T-WOLVES MOVE FORWARD WITH TIX SALES

     Despite the lockout of NBA players, the Timberwolves "sent
out letters to season-ticket holders this week asking them to pay
the remaining balance on their accounts for the 1995-96 season,"
according to the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE.  The letter says the
team is "proceeding with the upcoming season as planned.  This
includes maintaining the previously established season ticket
payment schedule."  The letter also says, if games are canceled,
ticket holders can receive refunds or apply them to '96-97
tickets with a credit to the account of an additional 5% over the
face value of tickets for canceled games (Minneapolis STAR
TRIBUNE, 7/27).
