Smirle Lawson
Smirle Lawson of Varsity, challenging the McGill defenders, 1909, photographer unknown

The original “Big Train”, Smirle Lawson (1888-1963), was a star football player with the University of Toronto and the Toronto Argonauts clubs in the early 1900s. In the first ever Grey Cup in 1909, he was one of the outstanding players of the game as he scored a touchdown and two singles to give the Varsity Blues the Dominion championship over Toronto Parkdale.
