Grey Cup game of 1955 from the traditional site in Toronto out to the British Empire Games , Stadium is Vancouver. ' It may be a move toward an objective this column .has been advocating for the past three years, namely: a two -game series for the Grey Cup annually', in the cities represented by the eastern and western winners respectively; total points to. count. Hitherto, the western champions ware obliged to travel east, whether they liked • it or not, meet the eastern champions in Toronto's fine Varsity Stadium, We don't claim that this one -day clash of east and west wasn't a great show, with colour, drama, background, everything. It was all of that— wonderful. Wonderful, that is, for those who could see It. But what about those who, - for one reaspn or another, couldn't get to Toronto to watch their heroes inthecrowning, football game of the season? Those are the fans. who. were. getting the short end of the stick in this one -city deal. Taking the Grey Cup out to Vancouver breaks this one -city tradition, and also is a smart bit of promotion Vancouver is new battle theren fessional last yeareand in ttball. heencitystUf st venturan e into the game, his club got amazingly fine support. profes- sional hockkes y, throw-back to the west long-ago thenn as when as last year, invaded Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster and became a tremendous game overnight, But Vancouver, in football, can do with the shot -in -the -arm the Grey Cup game will provide. We -trust this isn't just a one-year move- Other cities, east and west, would like to be hosts to the Grey Cup finals. And tii'ey deserve it: But we still believe in our own idea, a two -city play-off .between the two champions. Baseball does it. Hockey does it. It's good for them. So why not for football?
