Stampeders LB Wayne ‘Thumper’ Harris’s # 55 was retired 50 years ago this month. He played 12 years, was all-star 11 times & top CFL lineman 4 times. He was MVP in 1971 Grey Cup win and is in Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Here he is lining up Saskatchewan’s George Reed (34).

Who holds the CFL record for all-purpose yards in a season?
When was the Argos’ first Grey Cup game (hint: the Cup wasn‘t invented yet)?
Who was the first Canadian to register 1000 defensive tackles?
Nobby Wirkowski? Is that a skin condition?
All this and more ⤵️

OTD in Blue Bombers History Aug 17, 1984 and Ottawa gets roughed up by the Blue and Gold. Ken Hailey started the rout with an interception return for a TD. James Murphy had 2 TD catches and Jeff Boyd another and Boyd lit up John Lynch in 46-17 victory over the Rough Riders.

This Stampeder Quarterback Club newsletter was printed in April 1960, just days before soil was being turned for new McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Rookie running back Lovell Coleman & coach Otis Douglas are featured on the cover and 1948 Grey Cup star Paul Rowe is profiled inside.

25 YEARS AGO: Some great pins associated with Calgary Stampeders winning the 1998 Grey Cup. The bottom right pin was sold in conjunction with the game at Winnipeg and the top left pin was only handed out at the Stamps’ presidents’s luncheon in early 1999.

Here is a description of the offensive duties of a Flying Wing from 1934.
One of the best at the position was Greg Kabat who played Guard on defence in a 6-4-2 alignment.

75 YEARS AGO: Woody Strode set up both Calgary TDs in 1948 Grey Cup as Stampeders won 12-7 over Ottawa. He caught 34-yard pass from Keith Spaith the play before Norm Hill’s sleeper TD, ran a fumble 30 yards to set up Pete Thodos’ 10-yard TD. Was also a long-time Hollywood actor.

After 83 years of operating the club, in 1956 the Argonaut RC sold controlling interest in the @TorontoArgos to a syndicate headed by Eric Cradock, John Bassett, and Charles Burns for $300,000 in bonds "bearing five percent", retaining a 25% interest in the club.
