1915 in Canadian football

(Redirected from 1915 CFL season)

The Hamilton Tigers won their second Grey Cup in three years in a win over the Toronto Rowing and Athletic Association. With the First World War raging in Europe, both teams donated their share of the gate receipts to patriotic funds.[1]

Other than an abbreviated SRFU season the following year, this was the final season of Canadian football until 1919 due to the First World War.

Canadian football news in 1915

The Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) elected W. A. Hewitt president for the 1915 season. He appointed a commission to establish uniforms rules of play at different levels including collegiate and senior.[2] He approached multiple football coaches and sought feedback on best ways to implement standard playing rules.[3]

While there was no regular season in the Manitoba Rugby Football Union, one game was played: the Winnipeg Tigers beat the Winnipeg Canoe Club, 10-4, at River Park in Winnipeg, Saturday, October 23.[citation needed]
