1910 CFL
In 1910, Canadian Football consisted of three separate leagues: the IRFU (Interprovincial Rugby Football Union), the ORFU (Ontario Rugby Football Union), and the CIRFU (Intercollegiate Rugby Football Union). During the regular season, the teams in each league would play each other, but not the teams from the other two leagues. On the field the University of Toronto defended the Grey Cup title they won in 1909 with their second straight undefeated season. The ORFU, which would undergo a regular shuffle of teams throughout its remaining history, lost a team in Peterborough, but added two in the Dundas Rugby Club and St. Michael's College. The defending ORFU champion Toronto Parkdale fell to the bottom of the standings and didn't win a game. The IRFU champion Hamilton Tigers were given an automatic berth into the Grey Cup while the University of Toronto had to beat the Toronto A.A.C (Amateur Athletic Club) 22-3 in the semi-final to win their spot in the second ever Grey Cup. The University of Toronto successfully defended its inaugural Grey Cup championship with a victory over the Hamilton Tigers 16-7. The game drew plenty of interest, as an estimated crowd of 12,000 crammed themselves into the Hamilton Cricket Grounds. Crowd control was a problem, as a mob of people stormed through the admission gates, and it was estimated that several thousand watched the game for free. Early morning rain showers created a treacherous field. It didn't prevent Varsity from scoring in the later stages of the opening quarter, when Hugh Gall fumbled at Hamilton's 10 yard line. Teammate Reddy Dixon picked up the loose football and ran around the end for a try for his first ever touchdown. Varsity took an 11-0 lead before the end of the half as Jack Maynard took a lateral pass from Gall and ran the ball between the goal posts. Maynard was also good on the convert. The Tigers began to chip away at their deficit in the second half, scoring four consecutive rouges before Kid Smith was successful on a drop-on-goal in the fourth quarter to cut Varsity's lead to 11-7. The students put the Tigers on the defensive for the remainder of the game, as Gall kicked five unanswered rouges to secure the victory for Varsity. Hamilton's best opportunity to put the outcome in doubt came in the final quarter when a penalty to the students gave the ball to the Tigers on Varsity's four-yard line. Hamilton was stopped on three attempts, losing possession on downs a foot from the goal line. After the game, Varsity supporters took to the streets, first in Hamilton, then after a short ride home, in Toronto to celebrate another Dominion championship.
