But despite the inclement condi- tions, the show went on. tarpaulin has covered the artificial surface at Olym- pic Stadium all week and will be removed just before the scheduled 1:30 p.m. EST kickoff time.

By mid-morning, the snow had turned to rain, and Rebel player h it should not be a factor.” Forecasts for today call for overcast skies with moderate winds and the chance of light flurries. The temperature is expected to hover around the freezing mark. Edmonton quarterback Tom Wilkinson, expected to retire after the game today, agreed that field conditions should be fine. “It won't be like last year (in Toront) when they de- cided to use that anti-freeze agent and it just made things worse,” Wilkinson said. The Eskimos will be out to establish a Grey Cup record by winning their fourth con- secutive national champion- ship. However, Wilkinson warns that the team can't press, but rather must go an upset about its business as if it were a regular-season game. The game has been billed as one of the greatest mis- matches in Grey Cup history. Oddsmakers early last week installed the Eskimos’ — 14-1-1 on the regular seaon — as 22'/-point favorites over the 5-11 Rough Riders. The Eskimos whipped the Riders 47-21 at Ottawa in the season opener for both clubs July 8 and posted a 24-6 decision Oct. 12 at Edmon- Dp. ° But the Riders have a his- tory of doing well in the Grey Cup. They have been'on the ‘winning end in 10 or 15 appearances, including vic- tories over the Eskimos the only two times the teams have met previously — at Vancouver in 1960 and 22-18 at Toronto in 1973. Riders coach George Bran- cato, given much of the credit for getting his injury-riddled club to the national final, was ata loss for words on the eve of the big garhe. “What is there left to say?

More fun to play on winning team By John Korobanik MONTREAL (CP) — Tommy Scott of Edmonton Eskimos hs found that being on a successful team in ed- monton is a lot more fun and alot less pressure than being an individual star in Win- nipeg for the Blue Bombers. Scott was the pass-catch- ing star of the Blue Bombers when he broke into the Can- adian Football League in 1974, but he left them in 1977 to pursue a Grey Cup cham- pionship. He was willing to give up some of the individual glory toda: and has found that, as a member of the Eskimos, where everybody yet nobody is a star, winning the Grey Cup is more satisfying. Winning it three consec- utive years has been a bonus and now Scott, a 30-year-old slotback, is eagor to make it's record four consecutive CFL titles. The Eskimos, who have won the West five years in a row, play Ottawa Rough Riders in the Grey Cup Ee et “It we get it, it’s a record that will stand for a long time,” Scott said in an inter- view Friday. “I can’t foresee any team in the next 20 years matching it. “This is our one chance to get in the record books and 20 years from now, when they start talking about the greatest team every to play in the CFL, I'd like to be part of that.” Scott is already in the record book with his Grey Cup performance of 1980, when he caught a record 12 passes for 174 yards and three touchdowns. Part of the reason for Ed- monton’s success, Scott says, is the close relationship be- tween the players, 26 of whom now make their home in Edmonton. “When the season ends, we don’t all go ur own ways,” Scott said. “In player for six months of the year.” Scott is an integral part of the Eskimos’ record-breaking receiving crew. He, Brian Kelly and Waddell Smith all had more than 1,000 yards receiving this season, the first time a team has achieved that in the CFL. Scott ranked second to Kelly with 73 catches for 1,240 yards and eight touchdowns, didn't have anyone to: show me how to be a football I almost a of 1980, when he was second in the West.
