You'll be able to tell your grandchildren you saw the last one, just as, a decade ago, you saw Soccer Bowl at the Dome. And it will be a pity, for there was a time when the Grey Cup final truly brought the country together, even if only for that last week in November each year. It was, in its way, a force for unity. Lord Stanley of Preston, donated the Grey Cup in 1909. He paid all of $50 for it. History records that 3,800 people paid $2,616.40 (an average seat price of 69 cents) to see the University of Torento beat another Toronto team, the Parkdales, in the very first Grey Cup game. It also notes that the West didn't get into the act until 1921, when the Argos beat Edmonton, 23-0); and that it took until 1935 for the West to win for the first time: Winnipeg 18, Hamilton 12. How Canadian geography changes. These days Winnipeg is the best team in the East. When the Liens won for the first time in 1964, they left the Cup behind in one of their Toronto hotel rooms.

All the other trophies melted in the heat, but hanging on a nail in a still smol- dering wall, was the Grey Cup. Was that an omen? That the cup is indestructible? That it will always survive? Perhaps. But the deed of gift 95 years ago stipulated that it was for the “amateur rugby football cham- pionship of Canada,” T have a hunch that's the status to which it will return.
