In all, Canada collected 92 medals--12 gold, 37 silver and 43 bronze. Canadian Winter Games: Quebec: played host to teams from as far away as the Yukon in what may become a regular event every four years. Some of the top young skiers and hockey players couldn't make it, but as the organizers saw it, it was a be- ginning. Horse racing: Richard Grubb, 18, of Ridgeway, Ont., broke into the headlines by riding seven consecutive win- ners in one day to set a North American record and went on --with more than 200 winners --to take the Canadian riding championship. Cool Recep- tion, owned by a pair of sis- ters and considered the horse to beat in the Queen's Plate, broke a cannon bone in his right foreleg in coming second to Damascus in the Belmont. Surgery was successful, but the horse reinjured the leg in his stall and had to be destroy- ed. The Plate was won by a at RICHARD GRUBB -«. top jockey Conn Smythe filly, Jammed Lovely. Football: There were other records set in football besides the senator's. Peter Liske of Calgary Stampeders suddenly developed into the best passer in Canadian history. Of 508 at- tempts, he completed 303 for 40 touchdowns for CFL re- cords. Hamilton Tiger-Cats came off a rebuilding pro- gram to win the Grey Cup in Ottawa over Saskatchewan Roughriders. Despite the East's superiority, three Westerners won the top indi- vidual awards--Liske as the outstanding player; Terry Evanshen, Liske's favorite target, as outstanding Cana- dian, and Ed McQuarters of Saskatchewan as outstanding lineman. Baseball: While Ferguson Jenkins was compiling his 20- 13 record with Chicago Cubs of the National League, a host of players who once toiled in Canada were in the World Se- ries with the Boston Red Sox in a losing cause, And while all this was going on, Toronto Maple Leafs of the Internation- | al League, a Boston farm iF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT LIFE INSURANCE 4 25 Beare Not Call Why TOM FARQUHARSON || SUN LIFE Assurance Company Of Canada RESIDENCE: BUSINESS: 668-4371 728-4563 anada Observes Centennial] ith Superb Sports: Program t edge = | eee B PETER LISKE + « « passing records club, were winding up their affairs to leave Vancouver Mounties of the Pacific Coast Teague as the only profession- FERGUSON JENKINS . 20 game winner al baseball team in the coun- try.
