History: The 1973 Grey Cup Game

Today is not only Grey Cup Sunday, it is also the last day before the Ottawa RedBlacks officially enter the league as a participant.  True, they were involved in the college draft earlier this year, but starting tomorrow the RedBlacks are able to sign street free agents.

In the meantime, let's recognise the 40th anniversary of the 1973 championship team.

When building Capital Region Football between 2007 and this past spring, I would occasionally visit the library in order to print off some old newspaper articles and find some information that wasn't easily found (or found at all) online.  Among the dozens of copies of Citizen, Sun or Free Press articles I brought is the main recap of the 1973 Grey Cup game. It is spread over two pages below.

I apologise for the poor quality of the first page, but it should be easier to read if you right click on it to open it in a separate window.
