LEAGUE NOTES

          USA Track & Field CEO Craig Masback, on the progress at
     USATF: "I have really moved beyond the death and destruction
     and rising phoenix-like from the ashes.  The sport is out
     there on the street for the first time to let the sponsors
     know the inherent strengths of track and running"
     (INDIANAPOLIS STAR-NEWS, 5/16).  In S.F., the $3.3M track
     and field facility, Edwards Stadium, is set for completion
     in August on the Univ. of CA campus.  There is "talk" of
     placing an IAAF Grand Prix meet there, perhaps "bankrolled
     by Nike."  CA coach Erv Hunt: "We're going to put it on USA
     Track & Field.  Craig Masback talks a good fight, but what
     has he done?  He's got a lot of great ideas.  He's been
     here.  He says he loves it, so here's your great facility"
     (S.F. EXAMINER, 5/17)....PBA Commissioner Mark Gerberich, on
     staging its live CBS telecast from Bryant Park in N.Y.: "We
     hit a home run.  It was the most publicity we've ever
     generated for a tournament" (MIAMI HERALD, 5/16).
