N. J. Taylor Trophy
The N.J. Taylor Trophy is a Canadian Football League trophy, formerly awarded to the West Division champions. The winner of this trophy faced the winner of the James S. Dixon Trophy for the Grey Cup. Both the N. J. Taylor Trophy and James S. Dixon Trophy were retired in 2004.
The N.J. Taylor Trophy was named after former Western Inter-Provincial Football Union president N. J. Taylor. The trophy was first awarded in 1948, replacing the earlier Hugo Ross Trophy which served an identical function.
In 1995, as part of the failed American expansion, the Taylor Trophy was awarded to the champions of the Northern Division.

Famous quotes containing the word taylor:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
