TORONTO — Wynton McManis returned an interception 83 yards for a touchdown as Toronto defeated the Edmonton Elks 35-12 on Friday night in the Argonauts' 150th anniversary game.
Toronto celebrated the occasion by bringing back many notable former Argos. Among them were quarterbacks Ricky Ray, Condredge Holloway, Damon Allen, receivers Raghib Ismail, Chad Owens, Terry Greer and Derrell Mitchell, running back Bill Symons and Grey Cup-winning head coach Bob O'Billovich.McManis stepped in front of a Tre Ford pass and scored at 9:25 of the third, putting Toronto ahead 28-11.
Deonta McMahon scored Toronto's other touchdown. Tommy Nield had a two-point convert while Boris Bede kicked three converts and two field goals. Emmanuel Arceneaux had four receptions for 50 yards to extend his consecutive games with a catch streak to 144. That tied him with Ben Cahoon for the fourth-longest stretch in CFL history.Ford pulled Edmonton to within 18-11 with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Cobb at 14:51 of the second. Ford scrambled out of the pocket to escape the rush and was forced to the sideline but still had the presence of mind to find an open Cobb, capping an eight-play, 83-yard march.
Kelly was solid, completing nine-of-12 passes for 101 yards but the Elks outgained the Argos in the opening half and registered more first downs .
