No, that is Theismann in the photo wearing #9. In 1971, quarterback Don Jonas of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was the winner of the Schenley Award for the Most Outstanding Player and he wore #7. Theismann, being a rookie, had to give the number up to the veteran Jonas. The photos in these slides are of the 1971 CFL All-Stars who played the 1971 Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders in the pre-season 1972 CFL All-Star game which was the format at the time.
