George Fleming

Injuries ended up cutting short what appeared to be a very promising CFL career for George Fraser.  After starring at Washington, Fleming led the Huskies to Rose Bowl victories in both 1959 and 1960.  Fleming went on to spend one year with the Oakland Raiders before joining The Toronto Argonauts in 1963.  The Argos, for whatever reasons, released Fleming and Winnipeg wasted no time in picking him up.  Fleming led he West in scoring that year with 135 point, scoring both with his foot and with his offensive talents.  Flemming's multi-talened abilities seemed perfect for the smaller roster of the CFL.  Fraser scored 9 touchdowns, three rushing on 227 yards, 5 receiving on 21 catches and 566 yards and one on a 93 yard kickoff return.  With his foot, Fleming added 15 gieldgoals in 30 attempts, 25 converts and 11 singles.  He also handled kickoffs with a quite respectable 58.8 yard average. A pelvis injury limited Fleming to just 7 games in 1964, but he still managed to tie for the Bomber team lead in scoring with 41 points.  Fleming attempted a comeback in 1965, but further injuries forced him to retire.  Following his retirement from football, Fleming went into politics, being elected first to the Washing State house of representatives and then to the state senate.
