  • (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 3, No. 11 (1981) LIONEL CONACHER: Canada's Answer to Jim Thorpe By Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In 1950, while the Associated Press in the United States was selecting Jim Thorpe as the greatest football player and the greatest male athlete of the half century, a select Canadian panel of sports reporters and broadcasters was honoring Canada's native son, Lionel Pretoria Conacher, with the same impressive titles. There were other parallels in the lives of these two superb athletes. Although Conacher was a few years younger than Thorpe (he was born in 1901, Thorpe in 1888), their careers overlapped considerably. Thorpe entertained American spectators for more than twenty years from 1907 to 1929; Conacher starred in Canadian sports from 1916 to 1937. Both were all-around athletes excelling, it seemed, in any sport to which they set their minds -- Thorpe in track and field, football and baseball, Conacher in football, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, wrestling and boxing. Lionel first played organized football in 1912 with a Toronto junior team, the Capitals. Canadian football was different then from what it is today. There were fourteen players a side and a touchdown was worth only five points (as it had been in the U. S. before the 1912 season). Lionel played middle wing (tackle) with the Capitals in 1912- 15. They won the city championship each of these years. Lionel continued to play in the junior ranks with various Toronto teams through 1918. By this time he was also active in other sports. In 1916 he won the amateur lightweight wrestling championship of Ontario.

It was known as the colour barrier — a sort of unofficial, unwritten agreement among owners of professional sports teams that only white athletes should be allowed to play. (The amazing Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s colour barrier in 1946 when he played a season with the Montreal Royals, the Brooklyn Dodgers' minor league team.) It took more than a decade for the same thing to happen in the NHL. The player was Willie O’Ree, a speedy skater who had played all over New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario before the Boston Bruins put him on the ice in 1958. He retired from the game in the late 1970s.

  • Canadian All-Stars, 1932-50
    PFRA ANNUAL 1986 1 CANADIAN ALL-STARS, 1932-50 Bob Braunwart and Bob Carroll In Canadian football the Schenley Awards sometimes overshadow the annual league all-star selections. The Schenleys have been awarded to the most outstanding player, Canadian player, lineman and rookie of each season, beginning in 1953. These are not the only talent awards in Canadian football, however. At least since 1932, sportswriters or coaches or combinations of the two have chosen eastern and western all-star teams. Some of the earlier listings have been seldom reprinted. Here is the complete list of official teams from 1932 to 1950. Presumably there were unofficial listings before 1932, but that is a topic for further research. Most of the early eastern teams were chosen by the press. It is not clear how the western all- stars were chosen. 1932 All Eastern (Canadian Press) Flying wing -- Abe Eliowitz, Ottawa Half -- Frank Turville, Hamilton Flying wing -- D.

  • The “King” – Joe Krol
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 10, No. 4 (1988) THE “KING” – JOE KROL By Bob Sproule (official statistician Toronto Argonaut Football Club) From Argo News Statistical Edition In the ancient days of Canadian football, the halfback had to be a jack-of-all trades and not a specialist as he is today. Those leather-clad warriors had to be able to run with the ball, pass and catch it and of course, kick it. Following the Second World War, the multi- talented halfback became a dying breed if not all together non-existent as the Canadian Rugby Union clubs imported the more talented American running backs in their quest for the Grey Cup. At this time an unknown player appeared on the scene, and in the years to come, he would take his team to five Grey Cup victories including three consecutive titles. His name was Joe Krol and he was a Canadian born player in the early days of the imports. During the years that he wore an Argonaut uniform, he became one of the greatest players of the game and perhaps the best halfback ever to play in the Canadian championship. Because of his natural ability, there was little he couldn’t do on the gridiron. His plays brought many a fan to their feet as his last-minute feats turned on defeat into a victory. He was remembered as the triple threat – a running, passing, catching and kicking wizard that at times appeared to be the entire football team. His passes were thrown with uncanny accuracy, and his best punts were with a wet ball into the wind or even under a tremendous rush by the opposition’s defenders.
