1100. Years Of Canadian Intercologiute

In October 1874, the McGill Rugby Football Club played host to the Harvard Universi— ty team from Cambridge Massachusetts and from that first football‘ game in this country and for the next fifty years college football was to reign supreme in Canada. ‘

‘ During the 1880's, the big threerMcGill, Queen's, and Toronto— began to compete on an annual basis with each other and later on in that decade were join— ed by the Royal Mili— tary College and the Ontario Agricultural College. During the 1890's Ottawa College, Queen's, and the Uni— versity of Toronto won the Canadian Rugby Un— ion Championship five of the first six years the Dominion Final was played.

The 1898 season op— ened with the univer- sities-competing under the banner of the new- ly formed Canadian In— tercollegiate Rugby Union and the Yates Cup, the oldest annu- ally awarded football trophy in Canada, was donated for the compe— tition.

In 1900, the Inter— collegiate Union with—

drew from the Canadian,

Rugby Union but retur- ned_in 1905 and when 'Lord Grey put up his $50.00 trophy for an— nual competition in 1909, it was to become the property of the universities for seven of the first nine ye— ars the trophy was a— warded. ’ 1

The University of Toronto won the first three - 1909, 1910, 1910. From most acco‘ unts the McGill teams of 1912, 1913, and 19- 19 with the late great Frank "Shag" Shaughne- seey, C.F.L. and base— ball Hall of Famer, wduld have undougtably hava taken hone the trophy had they played the final game.

In 1920 it was the Universty of Toronto again winning the top‘ awardand then it was the turn of the trico- lor of Queen's under the leadership of the alte Billy Hughes. Wi— th Frank "Pep" Leadley and the late Harry Ba—t tShone, the Golden G

tive string of 26 vic— tories from 1922 to 1925 including three consecutive Grey Cups in 1922, 1923, an 1924 1924 marked the last time a college team Was to win the Grey Cup and the Intercol— legiate Union formally withdrew from Grey Cup competition in 1934. ‘ The rapid develop- ment of commerial sp— ort did not, however, sound the demise of college ball but‘rath— er directed the coll— ege people to concen- trate on internal gro- wth. . In 1927 the Interco~ llegiate Rugby Football Union was formed comr prising the Universi- ties of British Colum— bia, Alberta , Sask— atchewan, and Manitoba and the Hardy Cup was put up for competition. The league, however, was never strictly an intercollegiate one until 1967. Since the 1927 date some univeré sities had competed a— gainst senior and pro— fessional teams with- in their respective provinces and others -alighned themselves with teams souht of the border because of economics of travel. In 1967, with the

initiation of the CIAU .

National Championship series, the University of Calgary joined the four charter members of the Union to form the Western Intercoll— egiate Football League

' From a shaky start and

due primarily to the constant prodding and pushing of Dean Maury Van Vliet, through the years, the W.IF.L. has finished strong to par- ticiate in six and win four national champion- ships since 1967. Between 1929 and the present day a succes- sion of teams and lea- gues were formed in Ontario and Quebecvar— ying from four teams to the present four—

._teen. Today there are

eleven teams from Ont— ario and three from Quebec divided int0‘ two Eonferences of se- ven teams each. ” During the 40's and 50's, the names of Me— tral and Tindall were

[synonomous with inter-

collegiate football. Both have won 106 gam-
