Original Toronto Star caption: Making an executive decision, Toronto's Mayor William Dennison weighs the merits of wearing a Calgary Stampeder stetson, (right) or a Montreal Alouette's straw hat to the Grey Cup game on Saturday. After trying both on, he decided it would be best if he remained neutral, and wore a Buffalo-skin hat (he's shown wearing it) received two years ago from then-mayor of Regina, H.H.P. Baker.
