Howard Waugh (February 24, 1931 – November 29, 2009) was an all-star and record setting halfback who played in the Western Interprovincial Football Union with the Calgary Stampeders.[1]
A graduate of the University of Tulsa, Waugh joined the Calgary Stampeders in 1954.[2] He made Canadian football history when he became the first player to officially rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season (1043).[3] His promising all-star career was interrupted with two years of military service.[4] Waugh returned to the Stamps for one final season, and in 1957 he rushed for 499 yards and two touchdowns and added eight catches for 122 yards.[5][6]
Waugh later worked with IBM and had a long career in house construction, his most passionate and rewarding career as construction supervisor for Tulsa Habitat for Humanity.[7] He died November 27, 2009, age 78.
