George Owen, whose aggressiveness and determination defeated many of Harvard's most formidable grid foes, has been chosen a back on George Trevor's ten-year All-American team which he names in the current issue of Liberty Magazine.
Writing of Owen in his roll call of Gridiron Greatness -- 1919-1929 -- Mr. Trevor asserts: "George Owen of Harvard confessed that he disliked football, but his opponents never would have suspected this aversion. Owen's particular mission in life was picking on Yale. He had only to walk on the field to beat the Elis. They were 'hexed.'
"Dr. Billy Bull called Owen 'the greatest of all Harvard backs, Mahan included.' George had no equal when it came to grim resolution, the will to win. Owen was the gridiron's pinch hitter, almost invariably rising to occasions."
E. L. Casey '19 of Harvard also comes in for his share of the laurels in Mr. Trevor's Liberty article. "He was a greased pig in a broken field," is the way Mr. Trevor summarizes Casey's accomplishments.
