Canadian Football News in 1887※

The ORFU withdrew from the "CRFU." And the governing body ceased——to function. The St.John's Rugby Football Club (St.John's) formed in October 1887. The St. John's team met the Winnipeg Football Club (Winnipegs)——to determine the first ever Manitoba champions. After splitting the first two games, "a third game was scheduled to determine the winner." The Winnipegs won by a goal and "a try to nil." All games were scored using the challenge system which credited the team with the most goals as the winner. The games were unofficially scored using the points system used by the CRU in eastern Canada. Based on the points system, "the Winnipegs won all three games."
