TPEEPe ese eee] By SQOTT SCHILL REGINA (CP)--Steve Owen, Equietly, patiently and steadily. tds placing his trademark on "Saskatchewan Roughriders of 'the Western Football Cunfer- "ence--a nearly flawless defence "with a solid running attack. This is the system he used for 4-283 years as head coach of New 'York Giants: in the National 'Football League. It's the system he hopes will carry Rough- riders into the WFC playoffs for 'the first time since 1958. ~ Last year, under his guidance, the Roughriders moved out of the league basement. This year after five games his club led the WFC, a surprising place for a team that had come almost to accept losing as a way of life. "I like it fine here," Steve says. "The fans are wonderful, the board of directors doesn't bother me. They finally have enough confidence in me to let me do what I think best." In 1961 under Owen Rough- riders fielded 10 rookies in sev- eral games. Eight returned this season plus another six.

Owen retired in 1953, spent the next year watching games and "second - guessing the coaches," then was defensive coach at Baylor University for a season and with Philadelphia Eagles for two. JOINED ARGOS It was in 1957 that he took a similar job under Hamp Pool with Toronto Argonauis of the. Eastern Conference. When Pool was fired in 1959 Owen took over for the remainder of the season. He was invited to-go west by Calgary Stampeders who had jlost six straight and managed ito get them into the playoffs, The next season, however, Bobby Dobbs was hired and Owen accepted a call from Sas- katchewan. He says the Canadian game has changed a lot since 1950 when he led New York into Ot- |tawa for an exhibition game. | "It's much more liberalized inow.
