Original Toronto Star caption: Pre-game frolic: A group of Western fans clowned it up in the Royal York Hotel last night. The hotel was full with merry-makers getting ready for tomorrow's Grey Cup game between the Edmonton Eskimos and the Ottawa Rough Riders. Kick-off time is 1.30 p.m. at CNE Stadium. Pre-game festivities also include a parade today with floats, bands, beauty queens, football heroes, a peanut-wagon and dignitaries. Last night, Miss Grey Cup was chosen.
