READY TO RIDE, MINOR LEAGUE HOCKEY TEAM GETS SOME SPURS!

7.22.1998

          The Spurs yesterday reached a definitive purchase
     agreement with San Antonio attorney J. Scott Rose for the
     rights to acquire a WPHL team.  The WPHL club does not plan
     on playing during the '98-99 season (WPHL).  WPHL Dir of PR
     Steve Cherwonak said plans are to "continue to work toward
     securing a suitable venue for the 1999-2000 season."  In San
     Antonio, Tom Orsborn reports it is "not apparent ... where
     and when a Spurs-owned WPHL team could play."  The IHL
     Dragons, who are seeking to move to the CHL, have one year
     left on their lease with Freeman Coliseum, and Alamodome Dir
     Mike Abington said "no one from the Spurs" has called him
     recently to discuss the possibility of a WPHL team playing
     at the dome (Tom Orsborn, SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, 6/22).
