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. A graduate of the University of Tulsa, Waugh joined the Calgary Stampeders in 1954. He made Canadian football history when he became the first player to officially rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season (1043). His promising all-star career was interrupted with two years of military service. Waugh returned to the Stamps for one final season, rushing for 499 yards in 1957.
