1965 GREY CUP (Saturday November 27th at Toronto - 32,655)

HAMILTON TIGER-CATS 22, WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS 16 - Familiar rivals squared off in the 1965 edition of the Grey Cup, as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats battled the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. It marked the seventh time in 13 years that the two clubs were opponents in the national championship, with the Blue Bombers holding a 4-2 edge in these games. History was not on Winnipeg’s side in this one, however, as the Ticats prevailed to win their second championship in three seasons on the strength of a dominant defence. Weather conditions were a factor, as Winnipeg head coach Bud Grant opted to concede three safeties rather than risk kicking into a 30 to 40 mile per hour wind in the first and third quarters. It turned out to be the margin of victory in this game. Grant, Hamilton head coach Ralph Sazio and CFL officials decided to change the rules because of the wind. Punts into the wind would be ruled dead as soon as a receiver touched the ball. Leading 1-0 in the opening quarter, Hamilton scored the game’s first major when Frank Cosentino pitched a pass to Dick Cohee, who ran over Henry Janzen for a seven-yard scoring play. The Ticats survived a third-down gamble to keep their scoring drive alive, which was also aided by a 32-yard run by Cohee. Trailing 10-0, the Blue Bombers cut into their deficit in the second quarter when Art Perkins broke a number of tackles for an eight-yard touchdown run. Winnipeg failed on its convert attempt, but were able to take a 13-10 lead before halftime when Leo Lewis scored on a five-yard run. The Ticats took control of the game in the third quarter. Joe Zuger connected with Willie Bethea for a 69-yard passing touchdown, giving Hamilton the lead for good. Following a couple of conceded safeties by the Blue Bombers, Zuger avoided near disaster for the Ticats when he recovered a high snap on his 30-yard line and kicked the ball over Billy Cooper and into the Winnipeg end zone for a single point. A field goal by Norm Winston in the fourth quarter was as close as the Blue Bombers would get. The Ticats won with a relatively new squad as compared to the previous season. Nine of Hamilton’s starters in the Grey Cup weren’t with the team in 1964. The game marked Winnipeg’s last appearance in the Grey Cup until 1984.

The league started to legalize unlimited blocking on rushing plays and introduced their new goose-necked goal posts. The league rewrote its rule book and reduced it in size. The Canadian Rugby Union, owners of the trophy, granted trusteeship of the Grey Cup to the Canadian Football League in exchange for annual financial support for amateur football. One of the more notable games of the regular season was Montreal's 1–0 victory over Ottawa, the lowest scoring game in CFL history, and only the second 1–0 game since a 1949 win by Winnipeg over Calgary in the WIFU. As a result of the strategy employed by the Blue Bombers in the 1965 Grey Cup, in which they voluntarily conceded safeties to keep the ball, the rules were changed for the 1966 season. Teams scored against on a safety touch would no longer be entitled to keep the ball. Instead, they would be forced to kick the ball away to the other team.

1966 GREY CUP (Saturday November 26th at Vancouver - 36,553

SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS 29, OTTAWA ROUGH RIDERS 14 - It was a long time coming for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. For 56 years the club and its fans longed for a Grey Cup title, and for 56 years their dreams went unfulfilled. On eight different occasions they were the bridesmaid, never to know the feeling of being a bride. But on a November day in Vancouver in 1966, the Roughriders and their loyal followers finally had reason to celebrate. A ninth Grey Cup appearance proved to be a charm as Saskatchewan defeated the Ottawa Rough Riders for their first national championship. It was Ottawa that jumped out to a quick lead, however. On the East Riders’ fifth play from scrimmage, Whit Tucker got by Dale West and caught a pass from Russ Jackson for a 61-yard scoring play. Moe Racine missed the convert. Saskatchewan rebounded when Jackson was picked off by West on the Saskatchewan 50-yard line and returned the ball 51 yards. Ron Lancaster, on a play-action pass, connected with Jim Worden for a six-yard touchdown. Jack Abendschan made the convert, and the West Riders never trailed again. Saskatchewan took a 14-6 lead in the second quarter when Al Ford caught a touchdown pass through the outstretched hands of Ottawa’s Bob O’Billovich. But another big passing play brought Ottawa within one as Tucker got past West again and caught a pass for an 85-yard touchdown. A 51-yard punt by Bill Cline tied the score before halftime. Saskatchewan’s defence went to work in the second half, limiting Ottawa to just three first downs in the final 30

minutes. A potential turning point in favour of the East Riders went for naught when Mike Blum intercepted Lancaster in the third quarter, but the play was overturned due to a pass interference penalty. The game remained deadlocked at 14 until the final quarter, when Lancaster threw a line drive at Hugh Campbell from the Ottawa five-yard line. Campbell, who set a league record with 17 touchdowns that season, held onto the ball long enough for the game-winning score. George Reed put the icing on the cake midway through the fourth quarter when he busted 31 yards straight up the middle of the field to the Ottawa end zone. Reed finished the game with 133 rushing yards. Saskatchewan added a single point to complete the scoring. The game ended with several thousand fans storming onto the field to celebrate the historic win. The gooseneck or slingshot field goal posts, invented by Jim Trimble and Joel Rottman, were installed for this game, marking their first appearance in a football championship game. They would be universally adopted across professional gridiron football the following year, with the NFL and AFL playoffs following the 54th Grey Cup (culminating in Super Bowl I) being the last professional contests to use double-support goalposts.

The offices of the CFL was set up at 11 King Street, inside the Montreal Trust Building in Toronto, with Senator Keith Davey as CFL Commissioner. Later on, Davey was succeeded on Thursday, February 23 by Ted Workman and then later, Allan McEachern. The Committee on One League (COO) made recommendations to bring operating matters to be under the control of the league; it was later approved by the Board of Governors. The Canadian Rugby Union changed their name to Canadian Amateur Football Association (now Football Canada) on Sunday, January 1 and turned over the Grey Cup trophy to the CFL. In addition, the CFL set up and establishes the Players' Pension Fund. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats wore special helmets to commemorate Canada's Centennial as the country turned 100 years old.

1967 GREY CUP (Saturday December 2nd at Ottawa - 31,358)

HAMILTON TIGER-CATS 24, SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS 1 - For the first time since 1940, the Grey Cup was held in the nation’s capital as part of Canada’s centennial celebrations. Fans were treated to a match-up of the last two champions, as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats tangled with the Saskatchewan Roughriders at a chilly Lansdowne Park. It marked Hamilton’s sixth appearance in the Grey Cup during the 1960s, as the Ticats hunted for their third title in the decade. The Roughriders were looking to defend their first ever championship, won the previous year in Vancouver. In the end, the Ticats took home the 1967 title in a rout. Hamilton’s defence flexed its muscles, limiting the Roughriders to just a single point. It was the lowest-point total for a losing team at the Grey Cup since Winnipeg dropped the 1950 game in a shutout. Hamilton’s Joe Zuger was responsible for 15 points, scoring one touchdown, throwing for another and adding three singles. He was named the outstanding player of the game. Saskatchewan’s George Reed rushed for 92 yards, the majority of which came in the first time. But Hamilton’s front four of Angelo Mosca, John Barrow, Billy Ray Locklin and Dave Viti, not to mention linebackers Ron Brewer and Smokey Stover wore down Reed and contained quarterback Ron Lancaster. Zuger opened the scoring in the first quarter. A pass interference call against Saskatchewan’s Bob Kosid gave the Ticats the ball on the Saskatchewan three-yard line. Zuger sent the motion left and scored up the middle on a quarterback run. Leading 7-1 in the second quarter, Zuger used his arm when he connected with Ted Watkins for a 72-yard passing play. A failed field goal attempt by Tommy Joe Coffey and two singles by Zuger on punts gave Hamilton a 17-1 advantage at halftime. Zuger opened up the second half scoring well into the fourth quarter with another single. Then in the dying moments of the game, Ed Buchanan fumbled on a hand off by Lancaster, which Locklin picked up and ran 43 yards for a defensive touchdown. Lancaster was limited to 119 passing yards for the game. Buchanan was ejected from the game late in regulation for punching a couple of Hamilton players in frustration. Garney Henley, Bob Richardson and Bob Krouse all intercepted Lancaster passes. It marked the sixth consecutive game that the Ticats held their opponents without a touchdown.

1968 GREY CUP (Saturday November 30th at Toronto - 32,655)

OTTAWA ROUGH RIDERS 24, CALGARY STAMPEDERS 21 - The Ottawa Rough Riders needed three second half touchdowns to defeat the Calgary Stampeders for their second Grey Cup title of the decade. With Ottawa leading 4-0 in the second quarter, Calgary struck for a pair of majors before halftime. Aided by a pair of pass interference calls against the Riders, Peter Liske scored on a quarterback sneak to put Calgary on the scoreboard. Terry Evanshen added to Calgary’s lead with his first of two touchdown receptions. The Riders struck back in the second half. Calgary’s Ron Stewart was tackled by Ottawa defenders on a punt attempt in the third quarter, putting the Riders on the Calgary 53. Rookie halfback Vic Washington made a spectacular 14-yard gain shortly thereafter, helping to set up Russ Jackson’s goal-line run for a touchdown. But the most significant play of the game came early in the fourth quarter. Washington took a pitchout from Jackson, dropped the ball, but retrieved it on the first bounce. He then swept left and galloped 80 yards for a touchdown. Washington ended the game with 128 yards on the ground on 13 carries. Ottawa’s air attack was in full display later in the quarter when Jackson hooked up with Margene Adkins on a 70-yard passing play. The Stampeders made a game of it late in regulation when Dick Suderman recovered Bo Scott’s fumble on the Ottawa 14. Liske connected again with Evanshen in the end zone, but it was as close as Calgary would get. The Stampeders had communications problems in the second half when their telephone line to the spotters’ booth went dead. It wasn’t fixed until there was five minutes remaining in the game. All in all, it wasn’t a great week for the Stampeders. Several of their players were struck with the flu bug after their arrival in Toronto, with star players Herm Harrison and Jerry Keeling getting the worst of it. Rudy Linterman, filling in for an injured Dave Cranmer, suffered torn ligaments to his right knee after a tackle by Jerry Campbell. Ottawa’s Don Sutherin missed three field goal attempts before being successful on a 26-yarder in the second quarter. Teammate Ken Lehmann played the entire game with a dislocated elbow. It was the second Grey Cup title for Frank Clair in Ottawa to match his two championships with the Toronto Argonauts.

The 1969 Grey Cup game started play on a Sunday for the first time in CFL history; all Grey Cup games since (except for 1970) have been played on a Sunday. (The CFL did play a Grey Cup game on Sunday before, in 1962, when the original Saturday Grey Cup game was delayed due to heavy fog that caused the final 9 minutes and 28 seconds to be played the following day.) The Grey Cup was held in Montreal, Quebec for the first time since 1931. A new logo was introduced to the league on November 26, four days before that year's Grey Cup game: A white helmet with a one-bar face mask with a maple leaf in the centre and the word CFL in white in the maple leaf. It replaced the leaf/football/ribbon logo used since the league's formation in 1958, and would be used until 2002.

1969 GREY CUP (Sunday November 30 at Montreal - 33,172)

OTTAWA ROUGH RIDERS 29, SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS 11 - There’s no better way to end your CFL career than as a Grey Cup champion. That’s exactly what Ottawa’s Russ Jackson accomplished in 1969 in the freezing cold of Montreal’s Autostade. The league’s Most Outstanding Player threw four touchdown passes, including two to Ron Stewart, to lead the Rough Riders to consecutive Grey Cup titles. In a rematch of the 1966 championship, the Saskatchewan Roughriders struck first. Ottawa’s Bill Van Burkleo slipped on a punt attempt in a muddy area of the field, losing the ball to George Reed on the East Riders’ 31. Shortly thereafter, Ron Lancaster connected on a 27-yard passing touchdown to Alan Ford. The Green Riders took a 9-0 lead after Van Burkleo conceded a safety. On Ottawa’s first touchdown drive in the second quarter Jackson ran the ball up the middle for 18 yards. Another short run of his own set up an 11-yard pass to Jay Roberts, who broke through a couple of would-be tacklers for the score. Saskatchewan was given great field position again on a 78-yard kickoff return by Ford. But Ottawa’s Don Sutherin recovered Reed’s fumble on the Ottawa 30, ending the threat. Saskatchewan’s defence blitzed Jackson all game, but it was no match against the Hall of Fame pivot. Wayne Shaw managed to tip one Jackson pass to Stewart, but he was able to corral the ball behind a wall of blockers before getting into the open for an 80-yard score. It put Ottawa in front to stay. With Ottawa leading 14-11 in the third quarter, the Green Riders had problems receiving a kick and Dan Dever recovered the ball for Ottawa on the Saskatchewan 27. Ed McQuarters looked to have Jackson dead to rights but he ducked away from the tackle and rolled to his left. Then he hit Jim Mankins just over the goal line with a perfect pass for another touchdown. The East Riders scored their fourth TD in the fourth quarter. Before Jackson was driven to the ground by Cliff Shaw, he managed to flip the ball to Stewart who scampered 32 yards to the end zone for his second major. Jackson had not thrown for a touchdown in three straight games leading up to the Grey Cup. The East Riders ended the decade just as it began -- as champions. Ottawa matched Hamilton’s three Grey Cup victories during the 1960s.
