Journalism
After 95 years in business, the Toronto Telegram published its last edition. John Bassett, who had bought the paper in 1952, had endured numerous labour disputes and decided to cease publication as a strike was looming. The Telegram had lost $635,000 in 1969 and $921,000 in 1970, and was projected to lose another $900,000 in 1971. Sportswriter Ted Reeve, who had worked at the "Tely" for 48 years, quipped, "And they told me this was going to be a permanent job." Many of the Telegram's employees immediately found work with the Toronto Sun, which published its first edition two days after the Tely published its last.

Montreal guard and kicker Justin Canale missed 4 field goals, allowing Ottawa to escape with a narrow victory and take the third and final playoff spot in the Eastern Football Conference on the basis of 2 wins in the 3 games during the season between the teams. The win at Lansdowne Park was the Rough Riders' third straight. The defending Grey Cup champion Alouettes were only 3 points below their 7-6-1 record of 1970, but that was enough to eliminate them from playoff contention.

The Stampeders could have clinched first place in the Western Football Conference with a win over the Lions at Empire Stadium in Vancouver, but the Lions won handily to clinch fourth place ahead of the Edmonton Eskimos. The Stampeders finished the season with a record of 1-5-1 in their last 7 games; in their last 2 games, they were outscored 65-19 while losing to the WFC's two worst teams. It was the first CFL game for Calgary defensive back Reggie Holmes; he was replacing Bill Van Burkleo, who had suffered a season-ending shoulder separation a week earlier.

An error by Seattle third baseman David Bell led to 4 unearned runs in the bottom of the 3rd inning, giving the Yankees a 4-0 lead before 56,370 fans at Yankee Stadium.

In their loss to the Stampeders at McMahon Stadium, the Eskimos had 21 first downs to 8 for the Stampeders. The Eskimos faced a strong wind in the 1st quarter, and Edmonton head coach Ray Jauch ordered punter Fred Dunn to use up as much time as possible. Mr. Dunn ran around the end zone and conceded 5 safety touches, which remains the league record for both a game and a quarter. Three years later, the rule was changed so that the team conceding a safety touch no longer kept possession of the ball with a first down at its own 25-yard line. Mr. Dunn set a team record in this game with an 87-yard punt single with the wind for his only CFL point. Calgary punter Bill Van Burkleo executed the most successful fake punt in CFL history, rushing 89 yards for the Stampeders' only touchdown. From where he took the snap, he actually ran over 100 yards. The play tied a team record for the longest rush, which Hugh McKinnis had set in the Stampeders' first game of the season.

Alan Pitcaithley, recently acquired from the Edmonton Eskimos, rushed 10 times for 18 yards and a touchdown for the Ottawa Rough Riders in their win over the Alouettes at Lansdowne Park. It was Mr. Pitcaithley's only game as a Rough Rider, and his last in the CFL. In 2 CFL games in 1971, Mr. Pitcaithley rushed 16 times for just 17 yards.
