	Joe Theismann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, instead of playing for the Dolphins or the Twins, Theismann elected to play for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
		Joe Theismann (born September 9, 1949) is a former American football quarterback and current television football announcer.
		As Theismann lay on the stadium's natural grass field, a horrified Taylor screamed for EMTs, though for a moment, before they realized Theismann was hurt, the Redskins' personnel thought Taylor's screaming and pointing directed at their sidelines was a taunt over the fact that he'd successfully stopped their play.

	Canadian Football Literature, 1950-1969
		The issues of 1949 and 1951 (virtually identical in content, though the inside covers of both have been re-set and updated to allow for changed penalty applications) are identified by a simple notation of "H19-1949" (or "H19-1951", as appropriate) in the lower right-hand corner of the (otherwise blank) back cover.
		I would think that there is reason to suspect the existence of separate reprints in 1950 and 1952, although I have seen a number of different copies of the earlier issues, all from 1949 or 1951, thus it is possible that this bookelt was only printed in alternate years prior to 1953.
		For the 1957 manual, the publishers inserted a 16-page summary of the previous season into surplus copies of the 1956 manual; a large sticker was affixed to the cover of all such manuals.
