Article in the Daily Times refers to a high school basketball player, Curley Owen, who was selected 2nd team All-District. Same article gives us his real name, Carroll. Found a Carroll Owen residing in Columbus that is the right age. Looks like a good match.

Born to John and Bertie Owen, the family moved from Alabama to Ohio sometime in the 1920's.
