New York Coach Resigns Post After 26 Years
New York —(U, P)—There was no "hiring handshake" for Steve Owen today—only a "thanks" for past services rendered and a polite kick up-stairs.
That handshake had been the only contract Owen had as coach of the New York Giants professional football team for 26 years. But next year there'll be a new coach matching strategy with Paul Brown, Buck Shaw, etc., while Stout Steve serves as director of the Giants' scouting system.
The end of Owen's long coaching tenure came suddenly yesterday when the Giants bowed to the disappointments of seven years which reached a climax this season when the fans showed their box office discontent by waving banners which proclaimed;
There were some who charged that the parade has passed Owen by, but the flood of praise from his fellow coaches belied that contention and supported Owen's long-time assertion that:
"There's no mystery to coaching if you have the right men."
"Goodbye Steve."
Owen hasn't been getting them He has a number of good players, sure, but you can't win in the highly specialized pro league when you have gaping holes in your alignment. The Giants have those holes and haven't spent the money to fill them.
The round man was a star tackle with the Giants' way back in 1931 when he was named head coach of the team. He led the Giants to world championships in 1934 and 1938 and also won eight division crowns. But the last was in 1946.
Possibly Owen didn't stay abreast of the times. He was on the 1927 Giants team which set a still-standing league record by holding its opponents to a total of 20 points for the entire season. A defensive mark such as that is bound to leave an indefelible impression. But today, as in basketball, the accent is on getting there "fustest with the most."
There are those who contend that Owen is too defensive minded. There are things which can be said both ways on this point but second guesses are easy and a large scouting system for offensive stars costs the type of money which the Giants have shown reluctance to spend.
Owen's cause wasn't helped this season in which, to date, the Giants have won three against eight losses—their last being one of the worst in the club's history as the Cleveland Browns trampled the team by a near record count of 62-14.

Weak Colorado Team Faces Rebuilding Task
Kansan Sports Editor

Hard hit by graduation, transfers, and the draft, the Colorado Buffaloes go into this basketball season considerably weakened from last year when they stumbled to last place in the Big Seven and an over-all won-lost mark of 10-11.
Buff Coach Bebe Lee, who expected to lose only five seniors, including 3-year letterman Frank Gompert, suddenly found himself shy nine players who were expected to play leading roles this season.
Art Buntes the club's leading scorer last year with a 19.1 average, transferred to Utah; Jim Bulkeley, promising 6-4 sophomore, gave up the sport to concentrate on his engineering studies; Ken Norman, best man on the Colorado frosh squad last year, was drafted during the summer, and Mick Mansfield, another touted fresh performer, has been ruled ineligible.
Fifth in a Series
Harrold and Mock were regular guards last year, but both are small men (5-11). Neither could hit well from outside of 20 feet last year, but Lee, after working with them for over a month this fall, says the pair is bound to be improved over last year.
The probable fifth starter will be sophomore Jim Rangles, a 6-3 forward. He was a squad member two years ago and is back in school after being out for a semester.
Only five of the eight returnees are lettermen—center Burdette Haldorson; forwards Bob Jeagerand and Ken Munns, and guards Tom Harold and Charlie Mock. Haldornd last year had a 10.6 average; Jeangerand, 7.6; Munns, 2.6; Harold, 5.2, and Mock, 4.4.
This leaves Lee with the task of turning out a team from seven sophomores, six juniors, and only one senior.
A 6-7 junior, Haldorsson is being counted upon by Lee to be the key man in the attack. Jeangerard, 6-3, is noted for his fast, driving game and is said to be greatly improved as a scorer this year.
Already the Buffs have lost one encounter, to Colorado A&M 44-54 last Monday.
Against the Jayhawkers in 1952-53 Colorado pulled one of the surprises of the year. At Boulder the Buffs upset the first place Kansas 72-68, but lost to KU in Hoch 69-88. The two teams will meet Dec. 26 in the initial game of the conference pre-season tournament at Kansas City; at Boulder Feb. 2, and here Mar. 1.
