CORESTATES GOING FOR THE HAT TRICK WITH VILLANOVA?

          Villanova Univ. is "moving forward with plans to change
     the name of duPont Pavilion," a source told Mike Jensen of
     the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER.  The school's basketball arena is
     named after John E. duPont, who was found guilty Tuesday of
     third-degree murder, but declared mentally ill in the
     January '96 shooting of Olympic wrestler David Schultz. 
     Jensen's source: "I think they want to get this done very
     quickly ... But there is some sensitivity to the situation." 
     Villanova officials have "talked to officials" at CoreStates
     Bank about a possible naming rights deal. CoreStates has
     naming rights to the Spectrum and the new CoreStates Center,
     where the 76ers and Flyers play (PHILA. INQUIRER, 2/28).
