Just 1 minute and 7 seconds later, after an interception by Toronto safety Darrell Moir, Mr. Watts rushed 25 yards for a touchdown, and Mr. Chomyc's second straight convert gave Toronto a 17-10 lead. Howard Fields promptly returned the kickoff 77 yards to the Toronto 11-yard line, but the Tiger-Cats were unable to capitalize, and Mr. Osbaldiston missed a field goal, scoring a single with 52 seconds remaining. The Tiger-Cats quickly regained possession on an interception by Rod Skillman, and Mr. Osbaldiston kicked a 22-yard field goal with 2 seconds remaining to make the halftime score 17-14 in favour of the Argonauts. Mr. Watts' second touchdown, converted by Mr. Chomyc, made the score 24-14, and Hank Ilesic's punt single early in the 4th quarter made it 25-14. Mr. Osbaldiston responded with a 48-yard field goal, but Mr. Chomyc struck with field goals from 27 and 30 yards to finish the scoring.

Milton Friedman, 94. U.S. economist. Dr. Friedman was awarded the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences "for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilisation policy." He advocated a free market economic system with minimal government intervention, and was an adviser to U.S. President Ronald Reagan and U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Dr. Freidman has been described as the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century. He and his wife Rose hosted the 10-part television program Free to Choose, which aired on the Public Broadcasting Service in 1980; the companion book, with the same title, was the bestselling non-fiction book of 1980.
