In 1932, Canadian Football consisted of 6 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 20th 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), the SRFU (Saskatchewan Rugby Football Union), and the ARFU (Alberta Rugby
Football Union).  On the field, it was a very competitive and balanced season.  In the first round of the playoffs, it was the Hamilton Tigers over the Sarnia Imperials 15-11, it was the Calgary Altomahs winning a two-game total over the Vancouver Meralomas 5-6 to 6-4, and
it was the Regina Roughriders over St. John's College 9-1.  In the Semi-Finals, it was the Hamilton Tigers over the Toronto Varsity Blues 9-3, and the Regina Roughriders over the Calgary Altomahs 10-2, setting up the match-up for the 20th Grey Cup Championship.  The Regina Roughriders made history by playing in their fifth consecutive Grey Cup game. It was a record that would last 50 years, only surpassed by the 1977-1982 Edmonton Eskimos. Unfortunately for the Roughriders, it also marked the fifth straight defeat at the national final.  The Hamilton Tigers took home their third Grey Cup in five years taking advantage of a number of Regina miscues.  Curt Schave put the Roughriders in an early hole on the opening play of the game.  He ran back Frank Turville's kickoff to his 25-yard line then dropped the
ball as he was tackled.  Three plays later, Donny Gardner took a pass on an extension play and got over the goal line for a major.  The Tigers added two more points when Regina's Jersey Campbell snapped the ball over punter Charlie Harrison's head.  Harrison ran behind his goal line to retrieve it, getting tackled for a safety.  In the second quarter Regina's Austin DeFrate threw an ill-advised pass from behind his own goal line which Hamilton's Sutton pulled down and ran 35 yards untouched for an easy touchdown.  Following Gardner's field
goal, DeFrate cost the Roughriders another six points.  He fumbled trying to make a running catch of Eddie Wright's punt, and Jimmy Simpson picked up the loose ball and ran 20 yards for the Tigers' third touchdown.  The Roughriders finally broke the shutout in the fourth
quarter. Starting from his own 35-yard line, Schave threw a 30-yard pass to Andy Young. Another pass to Nick Busch put Regina on the Hamilton 20.  Schave then scampered around the end on a fake play to the one-yard line.  Tigers withstood two plunges, but were called
offside on the third play.  Regina got three more chances and DeFrate finally went over for a touchdown.  Future Hall of Famer Brian Timmis played his final game for Hamilton, rushing for 105 yards. Teammate Dave Sprague was just as good, running for 95.  The Tigers accumulated 376 yards of offence compared to Regina's 278.  Roughriders head coach Al Ritchie blamed the loss on stagefright, never seeing his club so “stagefrightened" heading into a game.
