Ewing Kauffman named new Kansas City owner in baseball
Ewing Kauffman, 51, chosen to own the Kansas City baseball club in the American League, brings a reported 6 to 10 million dollars and a decisive, single-owner approach. He aims to hire competent staff, back them, and build a first division team for a community rooted market. Kansas City could gain strong leadership from Kauffman and rival owners. Kansas University coaches celebrate a NCAA freshmen rule change allowing varsity eligibility for freshmen in all sports except football and basketball. The rule's fate rests with the Big Eight faculty reps and conference approval.
