Western formally enters the league and the format is changed to a single elimination tourney. Teams took turns hosting the tournament every four years.
In the semis, held in Toronto, McGill edged Queen’s 34-33.

Dot Carter and Nancy McMartin led McGill with 13 apiece. Evelyn Best led Queen’s with 9.
In the other semi, Western dumped defending champ Toronto 28-17. Western led 14-13 at the half but Toronto faltered in the second half as they began being plagued by turnovers.

The Blues also played Edith Buchanan; Dorothy Kerr; Emma Weir; Mildred Wilkins; Grace Keffer; Betty Macdonald; Alice Muckle; Frances Service; Constance Smith.
