About Wally Gabler
Wallace Fredrick Gabler III was an American professional football player who was a quarterback for seven seasons in the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football for the Michigan Wolverines, starting at quarterback in 1965. Gabler was a starter in the CFL for the Toronto Argonauts (1966–1969), Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1969–1970), and Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1970–1972). He passed for 13,080 yards and 61 touchdowns in the CFL. As a junior, Gabler received a tuition-only scholarship, and appeared as a backup to Bob Timberlake on the 1964 Michigan team that won the Big Ten Conference championship. Gabler got his first start in the second game of the season against Cal. Arriving in late September to fill in at quarterback for injured Joe Zuger, Gabler quickly picked up the intricate Hamilton offence and was one of the instruments in the Tiger-Cats' first place finish. At NMMI, Gabler broke Roger Staubach's school records for most passing touchdowns in a game and completion percentage and was selected as a junior college All-American.
