     know where the team" will play in '98 and "resolve the
     status of team colors and nickname," according to John
     Glennon of the Memphis COMMERCIAL APPEAL.  Glennon: "So far,
     the Oilers appear to be sticking with their two-year
     contract in Memphis" (Memphis COMMERCIAL APPEAL, 1/13).

     attendance of 14,376 for their game against the Nets on
     Monday at SkyDome (GLOBE & MAIL, 1/13)....CNN's Jim Moret
     co-hosted yesterday's "Showbiz Today" from The Pond at
