Box was elected to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1965. He played in the 1930s for both the Toronto Argonauts and Toronto Balmy Beach. Unfortunately, no individual statistics were kept in those years, but Box was noted both for his kicking and his running ability. This was an era where punting was an even more important part of the game as the forward pass was not legalized until 1932 and even then was initially not used very much. Box was a member of two Grey Cup winners. The first was in 1930 when Balmy Beach beat the Regina Roughriders 11-6. The second was in 1933 with the Argos when they beat Sarnia 4-3. Box was named the oustanding player in the East in 1934. Box breifly retired in 1950, playing one game with the Montreal Alouttes when they needed help with the punting due to injuries. Ab Box died July 30, 2000 at the age of 91.
