The Empire Stadium field was slippery and favoured the defences.
Ottawa scored in the first quarter with aGary Schreider 16-yard field goal.
In the second quarter, Edmonton quarterbackJackie Parker passed toJim Letcavits for a 63-yard touchdown. The Ottawa defender attempted to make the interception but Letcavits took the ball away from him and ran untouched into the end zone. The convert attempt failed.
Ottawa replied on the next series with a 72-yard drive. On the Eskimo 32-yard line, Ottawa quarterbackRuss Jackson faked a hand-off and rolled to the weak side on a bootleg. Jackson foundBill Sowalski for a touchdown. Schreider missed the convert.
In the fourth quarter, Edmonton punt returnerJoe Bob Smith fumbled on his own two-yard line after being hit byLou Bruce. Ottawa'sKaye Vaughan recovered the ball as it rolled into the end zone. Schreider converted the score.
Parker ran back the ensuing kickoff 74 yards, but Edmonton could not take advantage.
With 41 seconds left to play and the Rough Riders facing a second-and-seven from their own 33-yard line, a fan raced across the field and stole the game ball. Simultaneously, fans had rushed the field and began ripping down the goal posts. After a brief conference and on the advice of CFL commissionerSydney Halter, the officials called the game.
Ottawa running backRon Stewart was named the game'sMost Valuable Player. Edmonton finished the game with only 44 yards rushing. It was Ottawa's first Grey Cup appearance and victory since 1951. Kaye Vaughan's fumble recovery touchdown was his first touchdown in 14 years of football.
