I thought Ken Neilson was Doc because he was a doctor as well? Ploen told me that in person.

Cec Luning was the Selkirk Milkman. Named after their family dairy that was later called Lakeland Dairies. They used to sell pouch drinks that you stuck a straw into the bag to get a drink.

Great job in correctly identifying the players tied to the nicknames.
To finish out the exercise...
"Citation" was Tom "Citation" Casey was one of the many Bomber great running backs from 1950 to 1956
The "Ukrainian Gazelle" was Bud Korchak, a Winnipeg-er, who played for the Bombers from 1949 to 1954. He was an outstanding placekicker and a flying wing (slotback).
