The Ottawa Rough Riders defeated the Edmonton Eskimos 16–6 at Vancouver's Empire Stadium before a crowd of 38,102 fans.

The Ottawa defender attempted to make the interception but Letcavits took the ball away from him and ran untouched into the end zone.

On the Eskimo 32-yard line, Ottawa quarterback Russ Jackson faked a hand-off and rolled to the weak side on a bootleg.

In the fourth quarter, Edmonton punt returner Joe Bob Smith fumbled on his own two-yard line after being hit by Lou Bruce.

With 41 seconds left to play and the Rough Riders facing a second-and-seven from their own 33-yard line, a fan raced across the field and stole the game ball.
