Devine Stays On Shrine Staff After Bowl Plans
Dan Devine will coach the West team in the East-West Shrine game in San Francisco on December 29 despite offering to step down because Missouri plays in the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston a week earlier. Shrine officials urged him to remain, and he said he would join the squad after Missouri’s bowl game. He assigned assistants to scout Missouri’s Bluebonnet foe Georgia Tech and arrange film exchange. Don Faurot, athletic director, said the Missouri band will likely join the official party with Big Eight budget approval.
