slkl¢npa we When Mark Kosmos Ottawa Rough Riders linebacker uses it for crown during victory celebrations in the oi Ottawa dressing room in Toronto Sunday The Ottawa team defeated Saskatchewan Roughriders 2320 to win the 1976 Grey Cup game Photo 2320 DECISION QUIETS SKEPTICS Lastgasp touch down gwes Ottawa Grey Cup TORONTO CP Everyone will remember the 24yard last gasp touchdown pass from Tom Clements to Tony Gabriel with 20 seconds to go that gave 0t tawa Rough Riders 2320 vic tory over Saskatchewan Rough riders in the 1976 Grey Cup game But it was really won in the third quarter Saskatchewan favored by five points largely because of the passing wizardry of 38year old quarterback Ron Lan caster and the best defence in the Canadian Football League had the help of 20milean hour wind in the third quarter But gritty Ottawa defence gave up only 51yard field goal one of two by Bob Macoritti and never let Saskat chewan get beyond the Ottawa 36 As result when Ottawa got the wind in the fourth quarter it was trailing only 2013 And Saskatchewan says mistakes when Gerry Organ kicked his third field goal 32yarder at 753 to narrow the gap to four points the stage was set for the lastminute dramatics that gave Ottawa its ninth Grey Cup win in 14 appearances Ottawa coach George Bran cato who has spent much of the season trying to plug the holes in suspect defensive back field said his clubs stand in the third quarter was the turn ing point Lancaster who completed 22 of 35 passes for 263 yards in the game was good on only six of 10 in that quarter although couple of Ottawa offside penal ties helped keep two drives go ing And 43yard field goal try by Macoritti that fell short af ter high snap proved to be Saskatchewans losing margin The game which was wat ched by record crowd of 53389 and produced record gate of $1009000 was played in gusty wind that occasionally caused quarterbacks to over throw their receivers The tem perature hovered near freezing Each team scored two touch downsOttawas first coming in the opening quarter on 79 yard punt return by Canadian rookie Bill Hatanaka and Sas katchewans on passes in the second quarter to wide receiver Steve Mazurak and tight end Bob Richardson With little more than min ute and hell left in the game Ottawa was down by four poin ts 2016 and needed half yard for first down at the Sas katchewan one Clements the sophomore quarterback from Notre Dame tried sneak and failed to makeit Saskatchewan took over at its one ran Tom Campana twice for six yards and then Maco ritti punted to Hatanaka who cost chance at Grey Cup win TORONTO CP Sas katchewan Roughriders were upset with mistakes they felt cost them the Grey Cup on Sun day but head coach John Payne wasnt listening These men played their guts out Payne
