WOMEN'S PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE GETS NEW OWNERSHIP

          The Women's Pro Football League "has been taken over by
     one of its teams," according to Dan Ryan of the Daytona
     Beach NEWS-JOURNAL. CO Valkryies Owner Larry Perry has
     assembled an ownership group that will provide $1M for the
     league to finish the season and "a promise to reorganize the
     league's infrastructure in exchange" for 60.5% ownership of
     the first-year organization.  Perry: "It's the golden rule,
     he who has the gold makes the rule.  We don't expect to make
     a profit for three years, but we feel that women's football
     is an idea whose time has come."  One issue is trying to
     improve the competitive balance in the league.  Carter
     Turner, consultant for the Daytona Beach franchise, stated,
     "The 54-0 games weren't doing anybody any good.  We want
     this to be NFL-style football, not some XFL or roller-derby
     type of thing."  Perry added, "We'll find a way to have a
     balance of the games" (Daytona Beach NEWS-JOURNAL, 11/29).
