November 25, 1977, PAGE 7 Teams and fans ready to 20 for Grey Cup Saturday Albert’ Henry Goerge Grey was a_ fourth generation Earl who, for reasons unknown, had impressed the British Parliament _ and Buckingham Palace to an extnet that it was thought to be fitting that he be rewarded with one of the more prestigious “posts” in the Empire. Con- sequently he set sail for the Dominion of Canada in 1904 to assume duties as the young nations’s Governor-General, History shows that His Lordship did his’ post roudly, so much so in ‘act that he was an ex- tremely popular representative of the King and had his term extended to 1911. However, affairs of state can sometimes become a little tiresome soon occassion Earl Grey would quietly slip out of his Government House offices in order to catch a football match at Ot- tawa’s Varsity Oval. He like . football and particularly the way. “eolonial’’ enjoyed knocking their heads together. His enthusiasm reached the point where he decided in 191) to donate a Cup for the “amateur foothall rugby championship of Canada.” The Grey Cup was born — and right from the start this $48 piece of silverware and events surrounding it have taken some amusing turns. Next week in Mon- treal’s Olympic Stadium the Cup will be up for grabs again in what now is a nation-wide celebration. It is also referred to as the Grand National Drunk. Close to 70,000 will watch the game in the Olympic Stadium and millions more will settle in front of televisions to take it in as well, Thousands of dollars will be won and TERRACE CENTENNIAL LIONS their. lost in office pools and some will celebrate to such a degree that the game itself will be just a azy memory —. or no memory at all. Earl Grey's cup has become a multi-million dollar event, but let’s go back to its humble beginnings and review that strange history of this old mug down through the years. To begin with after Earl Grey pledged that he would donate a cup for amateur rugby football he promptly forgot about it. Three months after he said “I will’ he finally did have the cup made after a ently reminder from p trustees. The silversmith completed his taks in 1909, however, there is a plague on the Cup saying it was first won in 1908, a year before its birth. Hamilton Tigers won the Grey Cup in 1915 and during one very wild off season party the lads thought history had cheated them. Hamilton won the Canadian title in 1908 seo they figured ‘what thehell' and hired a silversmith to attach their 1908 victory on the Cup as well, In 1912 Hamilton Alerts won the Cup after an 11-4 win over the Argos. But the game almost didn’t get underway. As both sides stood on the field ready to start, somebody noticed something unusual and asked a simple question: “Where's the bloody ball?”’ There wasn’t one. The man in charge of the football had left it in the dressing room, locked the door and disappeared. The door had to be kicked open before the kicking on the field could start. During the First World War Year a_ trustee locked the Cup in a Tornto trust company vault and it wasn’t seen again until 1920 when a member of the trustee's vOx ORY & family noticed it among the heirlooms and told another family member to “get that thing out of here.’ In 1929 a member of a Hamilton team kept the cup in a closet in his home and used it to hold boots and umbrellas. The Calgary Stam- peders won the Grey Cup on November 27, 1948 in Toronto be defeating Ottawa Rough Riders 12- 7. You caould say Riders were caught napping because this was the last time the ‘‘sleeper play’ would ever by used in the Grey Cup. On the play before the big one, Calgary quarterback Keith Spaith called a play where halfback Normie Hill ran down the field, lined with players, bands, cheerleaders ets., and lopped down on the Calgary sideline. The more than 20,000 Varsity Stadium fans saw what was ~ happenin; an screamed wild but Ottawa didn’t notice. So one the next play Spaith dropped back to pass while Hill got up on the sideline. with nobody between himself and the goal line the halfback caught the ball and romped in to score. The . play was banned in 1961. The 1950 Grey Cup was known as the Mud bowl. Again at Varsity Stadium there had been con- troversy for serveral years over failure of organizors to buy a tarp to cover the field, The tarp was not purchased for the 1950 game because organizors said ‘‘we didn’t think it would snow.” Eight inches fell the night before the game, then it turned to rain. The snow removal truck gat stuck in the field and had to be towed off with a tractor — with redictable results. The field looked like no man’s land.

Billy Wray of Montreal was a Grey Cup official for the 1953 Grey Cup and had some last minute business to clean up at the Royal York in Toronto before heading for Varsity Stadium. He was late for the game and couldn’t get- a taxi. However, Wray was an undertaker by profession so he quickly called the “shop” and had a hearse sent over. He and another official climbed in and rode off then to the stadium. The hearse pulled up outside and the two promptly got out. It is said that several drunken spectators, upon seein; this, immediatley too the pledge! B.C.
