"John Waugh joined UBC Varsity Blue and Gold in 1930-31, a soccer team that included several important "names". Dr. O.J. Todd was the faculty advisor, honorary president and "patriarch" of the team at that time. His sons Alan Todd and Dave Todd who were part of the famous Todd family who played on UBC's teams through to the sixties, were on the early '30s teams. The goalie in '30/31 was Malcolm McGregor who later became Professor McGregor who like O.J. Todd was an expert in the classics. McGregor taught at UBC until the 1970's. The '31/32 team saw Waugh play "Outside Right" with Dave and Laurie Todd on this team. Millar McGill was one of the team's better players and as of the late '90s was still very much alive. In '33/34 Waugh again played with varsity a team that previous year reached the final for the Mainland Cup before losing to the Chinese Student's soccer team. UBC this '33/34 season was led by Waugh and McGill at fullback, Dave Todd one of UBC's best athletes, the team's captain Paul Kozoolin and the ever supportive Dr. O.J. Todd, who is still remembered at UBC through the O.J. Todd Field." - Fred Hume, UBC Sports Historian, July, 2006
