OAKLEY LOOKS TO XCEL IN FACE SHIELD FIELD

          CA-based Oakley has acquired One Xcel, which designs
     and markets protective face shields for sports helmets.  One
     Xcel's optical shield is officially endorsed by the NHL and
     NFL.  Oakley intends to relocate One Xcel to CA, but the
     optical shields will continue to be marketed under the One
     Xcel name.  Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. 
     Oakley CEO Mike Parnell said the acquisition provides "new
     opportunities for Oakley to expand its relationship with
     professional and collegiate football and hockey athletes,
     increasing our media exposure in those sports."  Ed Jarvis,
     who founded One Xcel in '95, will remain with the company
     under a two-year employment agreement (Oakley).
