1919 in Canadian football explained
Canadian Football News in 1919
Regular season play resumed following World War I.
W. A. Hewitt served as president of the Canada Rugby Union for the 1919 season.[1]
No playoff games were held in Eastern Canada because of a rules dispute with the CRU in Western Canada, lack of interest in the East, and student studies to the Intercollegiate Union which were deemed more important.[2]
