Marge Howes
- Induction:
- 1997
Marge Howes was a pioneer in women's basketball, organizing the first team at Douglass College in 1958. Howes was a physical education teacher with a vision to provide women with intercollegiate athletic opportunities. Her players came from the physical education classes and in the first year finished with a record of 3-0. She coached six seasons and compiled a varsity record of 47-13 (.783). Howes' commitment to women's athletics reached far beyond Rutgers. She was the state chair of the Division of Girls and Women's Sports in New Jersey and Connecticut where she was instrumental in implementing the "rover" concept in New Jersey. Women's basketball today is a reflection of Howes' solo efforts in the sport nearly 40 years ago.
