          Organizers of the World College Bowl (WCB), a proposed
     U.S. college football bowl game in Toronto, have submitted
     an official application to the NCAA, according to John Kryk
     of the TORONTO SUN.  The WCB, which would be held at SkyDome
     the Saturday before Christmas in '99, received the required
     US$2M line of credit from a U.S. bank earlier this week.  
     The group must still make a presentation to the NCAA bowl
     certification committee in April (TORONTO SUN, 12/18).

     to purchase" an allotment of 8,500 tickets, 2,500 of which
     have been sold.  UNC Dir of Ticket Ops Daren Lucas: "That's
     pretty good interest considering everything.  It's a

     Diego State, "is expected" to sell its entire allotment of
