WITH ICE IN HIS VEINS, FLUTIE WINS GREY CUP

Blowing snow and swirling winds weren't enough to stop Doug Flutie.

Flutie quashed talk that he couldn't play in cold weather by running for a touchdown and keeping the CFL's top defense off balance in leading the Toronto Argonauts to a 43-37 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on Sunday night in the Grey Cup.The 80 points were the second-most in Grey Cup history topped only by Saskatchewan's 43-40 win over Hamilton in 1989.

Flutie, the CFL's outstanding player for '96, was also named the game's top performer. Teammate Mike Vanderjagt, who kicked five field goals, was the top Canadian.

"That's the full package," Flutie said of winning both awards.
