Successor to little?
Wismer's club also had the
draft rights to Stovall, who was

Houston had hoped to sign him
and Personnel Director John
Breen said his club had been
unable to acquire the rights al

This was a point Shue made
the other night when talking
about the past, present and flu
ture.
Shue, the Terps' best basket
ball player ever, will be hon
ored tomorrow night in Balti-
more when the New York
Kniekerbockers, his team now,
play the Syracuse Nationals
there. It'll be a homecoming of
sorts; but maybe not the only
one. Shue says he'd like to
come back to his old alma
mater Someday. He could, at
that.
Gene is a pleasant, dark
haired chap with a lean face,
competitors eyes and a COM
petitor's attitude. After. five
years as a top scorer and all
pro guard with Detroit, he was
suddenly peddled this season to
the Knicks, where Eddie Dono-
vans style calls for him to be
more Of a playmaker than a
scorer.

BOULDER, Colo, Jan. 2
(AP) Eddie Crowder, 81, was
appointed head football coach
at the University Of Colorado
today. The announcement was
made at Miami by Harry Carl
son, the university'S athletic
director.
Crowder, an assistant coach
at Oklahoma, also is in Miami,
where the Sooners lost to Ala
bama yesterday, ITO, in the
Orange Bowl.
Carlson said Crowder will re-
ceive a five-year contract call
ing for a salary Of $4,000 a
year. He is the university'S
fourth football coach since
1858 and the third in less than
10 months.
Crowder said he plans to
visit Boulder this week end on
his way to the national football
coaches convention in Los
Angeles.
Succeeds Davis
Carlson said in q statement
released by the university:
II am very pleased to an
nounce the appointment of
Eddie Crowder, whom I have
known since he was a great
Quarterback at Oklahoma.
II am confident his coming
to Colorado will be to, the
complete mutual advantage OF
both the school and Crowder. "
Crowder succeeds William
BUD Davis, who resigned in
November after the university's
worst football season. during
which the Buffaloes won two
and lost eight.
Davis was appointed last
March after Everett Sonny

tions.
