NOMINATIONS OPEN FOR '97 SPORTS INDUSTRIALIST OF THE YEAR

          We are pleased to announce the opening of nominations
     for the 1997 SPORTS INDUSTRIALIST OF THE YEAR.  As you know,
     this award is for the one sports industry executive -- or
     organization -- that best embodies our vision of the sports
     industry during the year.  We're looking for those who see
     sports as we do: namely, sports as entertainment, sports as
     a distinct industry, and sports as a global business. 
     Nominees should have a clear and definable impact on the
     industry, work daily to further its strength and growth,
     exemplify leadership, and demonstrate creative and
     innovative thought.  Additionally, they should be people or
     organizations to which the honor will have meaning. 
     There'll be no kissing-up here.  The winner will be selected
     by the editorial staff of THE DAILY and announced in
     December.  Nominations can be made by clients of THE DAILY
     in writing, on video, or in person.  NOMINATIONS ARE DUE
     FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14.  Please call if you have any questions.
