Published: 9 July 2009

Dr. Eric Walter, a 2009 inductee to the 缅北强奸 Sports Hall of Fame, is today's featured profile.

Walter, born Nov, 25, 1942 in Baie d鈥橴rf茅, Que., starred for four seasons as a receiver and running back with the football Redmen (1961, 1962, 1964, 1965), earning all-conference honours in his sophomore and senior years. 听In 1962, he set 缅北强奸 and OUAA single-game records with four TD receptions against Queen鈥檚 (Oct. 20, 1962). He went on to capture the league scoring title with 48 points (eight touchdowns) in six games and led 缅北强奸 to the Yates Cup league championship.

Walter, who was once on the receiving end of a 100-yard pass-and-run play from quarterback Glen St. John against Western (Oct. 17, 1964), missed the 1963 season with injuries but returned in 1964 to finish third among league leaders in both rushing and receiving, en route to winning the Omega trophy as the league鈥檚 most outstanding player. A two-time team MVP who captained the Redmen in his final season, he graduated in 1966 with a chemical engineering degree and a school record 18 TDs in 24 career contests, a mark that stood for over a decade.

Walter later went on to study dentistry at U of T, where he tallied 15 more TDs over three years and at the time of his graduation, was ranked second (now sixth) in among OUA career TD leaders with 33. In 1996, he was named to the OUA Football Legends Hall of Fame.
