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.
