Before Bob and Barry; even before Bud; there was Bennie; and he might have been the best of them all. He was certainly the most innovative. Best remembered as the mentor of the University of Oklahoma�s football team from 1905 through 1926; Bennie Owen also coached baseball and basketball and served as the director of athletics. He retired as intramural director at the age of seventy-five. A visionary and a builder; he exerted the driving force that created the university�s Memorial Stadium; one field house; Memorial Union building; men�s swimming pool; baseball field and bleachers; concrete tennis courts; nine-hole golf course and intramural playing fields. A true man of all seasons; he laid the foundation for a Sooner tradition of excellence�in football and beyond.
