10 "SPORTS LOOK NFL HOUSTON (AP) ? The Houston Oilers are considering an agreement that would keep the team in Houston through the 1997 season, i The agreement would end the team's federal lawsuit against the city, Harris County and Astrodome USA. The Oilers' lawsuit, filed last month, claims the defendants have conspired to keep the team from leaving. The Oilers, who want a new domed stadium in Houston, are negotiating with Nashville, Tenn., about moving to a new stadium there for the 1998 season. WASHINGTON (AP) - A group of NFL pract .ce squad players whose $30 million award was reduced by an appeals court, have appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The money had been awarded to the players, who in 1989 received flat payments of $1,000 a week. The NFL Players Association claimed they would otherwise have negotiated salaries of $5,000 per week. But the decision, in which 235 players were awarded $30 million by a jury in 1992, was reversed last spring by the U.S. District Court of Appeals. NHL WEST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) ?

Baseball MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Twins almost certainly will leave the state after the 1998 season if they don't get a new stadium or a complicated $35 million overhaul of the Metrodome. Twins president Jerry Bell presented a bleak picture of the team's finances to the Advisory Task Force on Professional Sports and called the 13-year-old Metrodome economically obsolete for baseball. CLEVELAND (AP) ? The New York Yankees did not record an assist in their 4-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians, the fourth time that has happened in major league history. Jack McDowell, who threw a fourhitter, had eight strikeouts. In addition, there were two grounders to first baseman Don Mattingly, who made the plays unassisted, and 17 flies, pop-ups and line outs.
