DO CARDS WANT TO BE A COWBOYS RIVAL? TEAM EYEING SAN ANTONIO

          With the NFL Cardinals' hopes for a new stadium hinging
     on the outcome of a November referendum in Maricopa County,
     AZ, a source close to the team "expects the club will move
     to relocate in San Antonio" if the stadium measure fails,
     according to Jerry Magee of the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE.  If
     they moved to San Antonio, the Cardinals could play in the
     Alamodome "until a stadium there was constructed."  Although
     Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones "might be averse to losing San
     Antonio as a pocket of Cowboys popularity," the source noted
     that Jones would now be "creating a new rival" with a team
     in San Antonio.  Magee wrote that TX-based Southwestern Bell
     Chair Edward Whitacre might play a role "in connection with
     a possible Cardinals shift," as Southwestern Bell "could be
     a powerful ally for an NFL franchise" in the city (SAN DIEGO
     UNION-TRIBUNE, 5/14).  CBS SportsLine's Len Pasquarelli
     cited sources saying the city "is prepared to deliver a new
     facility," while the team plays in the Alamodome until one
     is finished (CBS SportsLine, 5/13).
