JUDGE ORDERS INSPECTION OF NASSAU COLISEUM BY TOMORROW

          The Islanders agreed "to move back to Nassau Coliseum
     if an NHL-orchestrated inspection deems the arena safe,"
     according to Marc Berman of the N.Y. POST.  The NHL has
     hired Dessan-Soprin, a Montreal-based firm that built the
     Molson Centre, to perform the inspection today.  Nassau
     County will also have an engineering firm on hand (N.Y.
     POST, 9/24).  On Long Island, Frank & Hadrick report that NY
     State Supreme Court Judge Burton Joseph ordered the safety
     inspection of the Coliseum, but "differing interpretations
     of the decision could force all sides back in to court again
     today."  The "scope of the inspection remains unclear," as
     arena manager SMG says it needs "only a limited checkup" and
     the team says it needs "a broader inspection."  The team's
     first home exhibition game is scheduled for tomorrow, and it
     is "unclear" whether the game will be played at the Coliseum
     if inspectors find the arena safe.  SMG will ask Judge
     Joseph to order the team to play at the Coliseum tomorrow
     (NEWSDAY, 9/24).  Joseph will decide tomorrow "if the
     temporary restraining order he signed last week forcing the
     Islanders to play their games in the Coliseum will become
     permanent" (Anthony McCarron, N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 9/24).
