The Annual Grey Cup (Europe) football game was held in Amos Stadium. The East defeated the West by a score of 28-13. LAW C Bell of Support Unit Metz (a Westerner) was elected Miss Grey Cup (Europe) and "kicked-off" along with A/C DAR Bradshaw. A gala parade with floats from all the Wings wound through Metz to the Stadium prior to the game.

The East hammered out a 28-13 decision here this afternoon to win the coveted Grey Cup (Europe) for the second year in a row and evened the series at three games apiece. The first game, played in 1955, ended in a scoreless tie. The game, played at Jean Amos stadium in Metz, attracted a crowd of Canadian, French, and American football fans, estimated at about 5,000.

We hope to obtain additional detail pertaining to this European Grey Cup game with the passing of time - and ask you to help out a little - should you happen to have any detail which would be of interest.
