1933 In Canadian Football
Canadian Football News in 1933 The Toronto Argonauts lost their first two games of the season, only to storm back and win eight straight, including their first Grey Cup win in 12 years. The Winnipeg St.John's were a no show at the annual meeting of the Manitoba Rugby Football Union. It was later learned that the St.John's had suspended operations for one season while they got their finances in order. The MRFU made attempts to get another organization to take over the operations of the St.John's for the 1933 season.
