Border delays thwart Riders star Purcell in Toronto
Ted Purcell, star scorer for the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders, was detained at Pearson International Airport in Toronto when customs officials questioned his non immigrant papers. He lacked an H 20 visa and could not pass through, forcing a return to Newfoundland for a week. After weeks of phone calls and legal help, Purcell finally re joined the team in Cedar Rapids.
