Original Toronto Star caption: Verdict: Soggy. That' what Jim Brown (left) works manager for the CNE, and Bill Sheffield, assistant works manager, decided after lifting a corner of the tarpaulin covering the turf where today's Grey Cup game was to be played. Hours of rain all last night and early today ruined all chances of having the turf dried by kick-off.
