Schenley added their fifth major award, the Outstanding Offensive Lineman and the Lions again returned to playoff action with an 8-8 record good enough for third place, and a return engagement in Saskatchewan where they lost the semi-final again. Second-year man Lou Harris replaces the injured Musso to lead the team in both rushing and receiving and wins All-Star honours. Annis Stukus is the first Lion elected to the Football Hall of Fame as a builder.

When it comes to Lion QB's who wore #16, everyone remembers Matt Dunigan and Buck Pierce. But I'd say nobody remembers QB Karl Douglas. On the contrary, everyone would know Al Wilson and probably Ray Nettles. However other than those two, who the heck would remember Bob Friend and Layne McDowell? In that group picture, some players that can be seen are: Jim Young, Monroe Eley, Grady Cavness, Elton Brown, Brock Aynsley, Eddie Linscomb.
