school.
Bowden accepted, tendering his
resignation as Howard's head coach
Monday to go into effect today.
This action left the Bulldog top
spot vacant. It remains so this
morning. •
But there was a ready replace¬
ment for Bowden as Howard's
"most sought - after" gentleman:
Athletic Director James Sharmon.
To Sharman fell the job of screen¬

And whereas only a single force

Florida State University swept
Head Football Coach Bobby Bowden
to their coaching staff this week
The cOach. who came back to
his alma mater four years ago and
made Howard one of the best small
college grid machines in the na¬
tion. submitted his resignation to
President Leslie S. Wright to ac¬
cept the new position.
Coach Bowden asked to be - re¬
leased from his contract at Howard
today, and President Wright stated
Monday that he had accepted his
resignation with' much regret.
Florida State athletic officials first
contacted- Coach Bowden about the
job at the Atlanta Quarterback Club
Banquet almost three weeks ago.
Last Saturday Coach Bowden went
to Tallahassee and huddled w ith the
FSU officials.
On his, return Monday, he sub¬
mitted his resignation to President
Wright^ho said, "that the college
woiiklJsjtextand in the way of Bow¬
den's Mvancement toward his goal
as Head Coach in a major confer¬
ence ”
The 33-year old mentor said Tues¬
day, "This is a golden opportunity
for me and I am looking forward
to it, I hate to leave because How¬
ard is my school and my home, and
I've enjoyed working with the fine
people here.
Especially, am 1 thankful for the
student body and for the support and
enthusiasm they gave us." he stat¬
ed. "I don't expect to find a better
student body and faculty than the
one here at Howard. It is they that
have made our success here pos¬
sible."
President Wright said of Coach
Bowden, "in addition to his leader¬
ship on the football field, Coach
Bowden has been an inspiration to
the student body."
He is a man of fine Christian
principles and has been completely
at home on the campus of a church-
related institution. We wish him all
possible happiness and success in
his new position."
During Coach Bowden's stay at
Howard his teams were triumphant
in 31 of 37 contests. Howard's foot¬
ball teams had won 28 games in the
previous 15 years.
Last season when Coach Bow den's
squad knocked off Chattanooga and
Furman, people were convinced that
Howard football was tops in small
college ranks. These victories all go
back to Coach Bowden, who fig¬
ured the strategy it took to whip
teams 'ike these.
Coach Bowden developed three Lil¬
lie All-American while at Howard,
in tackle Bennit Storie <1959>. half¬
back Bobby Jackson and end Bud¬
dy Bozeman (19Gl-62>. These three
rale as three of the all-time' How¬
ard football greats.
Coach Bowden, himself, was an
outstanding quarterback during his
playing days at Howard. Called the
“Vito Parilli of small colleges.” he
was listed as an honorable mention
Associated Press Little All-Ameri¬
can his senior year in 1951.
