COLTS OWNER SAYS HE WANTS TO KEEP TEAM IN INDIANAPOLIS

          Colts Owner Jim Irsay "is trying to prove he wants to
     stay put" in Indianapolis, according to Johnston & Chappell
     in the INDIANAPOLIS STAR-NEWS.  Irsay met yesterday with NFL
     Exec VP Roger Goodell and city officials to "review"
     material which is "expected to be the basis of a proposal
     for a more lucrative RCA Dome lease."  Irsay bought a full-
     page ad in Wednesday's editions of the local papers "to
     underscore his intentions" to keep the Colts in town.  The
     ad was written as a letter to "My Fellow Hoosiers and Colts
     Fans" (INDIANAPOLIS STAR-NEWS, 5/29).  The next meeting
     regarding the team's situation is "tentatively" set for June
     17, when the Colts and the city are "expected to have a
     better grasp of the team's demands and the city's
     willingness and ability to meet them" (STAR-NEWS, 5/29).
