Bv JIM HLTTON OF THfc EXPRESS STAFF If the Philadelphia Atoms of the North American Soccer League move to San Antonio for the 1977 season, such a maneuver will establish a precedent in American professional soccer circles. It has been rumored that the Atoms, who are owned by Mexican interests, have considered San Antonio as a possible relocation. Such a shift obviously would depend on the Thunder's official transfer to Honolulu or another site. in the history of the league has a team moved into a vacated city immediately after the existing team a source near NASL Commissioner Phil Woosnam told The Express. have been a ple of different franchises in Baltimore spread over a number of At the league meetings recently in Minneapolis, the transfer of the Thunder to Honolulu and the San Diego Jaws to Las Vegas was officially discussed.

Philadelphia soccer club officials, however, never introduced any motion for a possible franchise shift. Woosnam met with Atom owner Carlos Oeequera last Friday in New York and the team owner expressed a desire to move to San Antonio provided the Thunder left and adequate local investment could be secured. commissioner said he would talk with Oeequera concerning that matter after he (Oeequera) made appropriate inquiries TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS with Max Mileage SERVICE Very Important Protection at Very Inexpensive Prices!

The Atoms would prefer San Antonio because of its proximity to Mexico and more than Tilt per cent of the squad is of Mexican or Latin origin. Oeequera, who owns several soccer clubs in Mexico, bought the Atoms this season from Thomas 1). McCloskey. The Atoms finished 8-lfi and in fourth place in 1976 in the Eastern Division. Many knouledgable soccer observers were not surprised with that outcome since the rugged play is more tailored for the European brand of soccer and not for the finesse, Latin style.

Philadelphia has been no attendance pearl for Oeequera. The Atoms averaged 5.61(1 per home match in 1976 or 15th in the 20-team league. San Antonio ranked 17th. Oeequera is thought to be seeking investment from the group of local physicians whom Thunder owner Ward Lay courted.

Lay sought a $500,000 committment. Oeequera's figure is unknown. think the investors I talked with had good intentions and wanted to keep soccer in San Lay told the The Express just didn't realize how much a first class operation would cost. 1 didn't want to run a professional franchise on a second class level and they realized this just wasn't fair to the fans or Oeequera and have one month before they must finalize their franchise futures wherever may be.
