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]
