Edmonton coach Pop Ivy surprised many by starting sophomore Canadian quarterback Don Getty.

With Jackie Parker, Johnny Bright, Normie Kwong and Rollie Miles in the backfield, they were record setters.

While Getty scored two touchdowns, Sam Etcheverry had one of his most disappointing days as a Lark, completing only 15 of 38 passes for 293 yards and a Grey Cup record 4 interceptions.

Jackie Parker scored a touchdown on the final play, and fans flooded the end zone and one stole the game ball.

Kwong, whose notable business ventures included part ownership of the NHL's Calgary Flames, served as Lieutenant Governor of Alberta from 2005 until 2010.
