LEAGUE NOTES

          In N.Y., Mike Freeman wrote that NFLPA Exec Dir Gene
     Upshaw said "he believed" that "at least" 25% of NFL teams
     use surveillance cameras in the locker room.  Ravens Owner
     Art Modell: "Some teams are using surveillance equipment in
     the locker room, yes.  But I'd fire the first guy who did
     that here."  Freeman wrote that those interviewed believed
     the reasons for cameras "varied from a desire to provide
     better security for the players, to watching and learning as
     much about them as possible" (N.Y. TIMES, 1/8)...Turner
     Sports VP Dave Maggard said that Turner "discussed" a new
     football league "with a potential owner in San Antonio
     several months ago."  Sources said that Spurs reps have
     "informally discussed investing in the project" if the city
     gets a team.  Maggard "expects" more info on the league to
     be released "by late February" (EXPRESS-NEWS,  1/11).
