In 1925, Canadian Football consisted of 5 separate leagues, which only competed within its own league during the regular season. Each league would have teams that would qualify for the post-season, and the right to compete for the 13th Grey Cup Championship. This included the IRFU (Interprovincial Rugby Football Union), the ORFU (Ontario Rugby Football Union), the CIRFU (Intercollegiate Rugby Football Union), the MRFU (Manitoba Rugby Football Union), and the ARFU (Alberta Rugby Football Union). In the first round of the playoffs, it was Queen's Unniversity over Toronto Balmy Beach 21-9, and the Regina Roughriders would advance despite not playing a regular season game. The University of Alberta declined to play any further than the regular season, so the West Final was between the Winnipeg Tammany Tigers and the Regina Roughriders, which was won by Winnipeg 11-1. In the East Final, it was Ottawa Senators over Queen's University 11-2, setting up the match-up for the 13th Grey Cup Championship. For the first time in four years, Queen's University did not participate in a Grey Cup championship. The Ottawa Senators ended the Tricolour's run at an unprecedented fourth straight title in the eastern final, and got to host the Winnipeg Tammany Tigers for the national championship. Formerly the Winnipeg Victorias, the Tigers changed their name due to the railway dispute a year earlier which prevented the team from playing for the 1924 title. Supporters believed that this was the greatest western club ever to compete for a Grey Cup. The west learned once again that their best was simply not good enough when it came to playing the east. The victory was never in doubt for Ottawa after the first five minutes of play. Senators head coach Dave McCann felt so confident in his team that he substituted his second stringers in the second half. Ottawa used a strong wind to its advantage in the opening quarter, carrying out a successful onside kick which gave the Senators the lead for good. Charlie Lynch kicked the ball towards the Winnipeg end zone, and before his opponents could react, leaped into the air and touched the ball. This made any Ottawa teammate eligible to touch the ball, and Charlie Connell pounced on it for a touchdown. Edgar Mulroney scored the second major of the game in the second quarter on a 20-yard run around the right end. The Senators went on to add two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. A Winnipeg player lost control of the ball on his own five-yard line, which a teammate recovered. Officials ruled that the ball had been illegally passed forward, turning over the ball to Ottawa. The Senators capitalized when Connell ran around the end for his second major following three lateral passes. Ottawa then scored on another turnover when Don Young fell on a dribbled ball in the end zone. For eastern football critics, they were once again disheartened by the lack of competition coming out of Western Canada. In four Grey Cups contested by western teams, the east has outscored the opposition 114-2. It would be another decade before the west would be on par with their eastern hosts.
