The Rough Rider Coaches page displays win-loss records for most of the coaches throughout the team's history, even if some of the official data from the early years is somewhat questionable.
My plan was to provide a spotlight on the more accomplished gentlemen on the list (don't expect me to elaborate on Fred Glick much, for example). Unfortunately, the best accounts of one's career often take the form of an obituary.
Such is the case with Mr. Wally Masters. I did not originally intend to include any sort of more detailed biography about him, frankly, being more preoccupied with the Cup winners.
However, while Master never did win a Grey Cup as a coach, he is a member of the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame. Also, it is true that the page was meant to be specific to Rough Rider coaches but Masters' coaching of the 1947 Ottawa Trojans to the ORFU championship certainly should not be discounted.
Read on, from the July 12th, 1992, Ottawa Citizen.
