Toronto “simply walked away from Western 52-19 and proved in convincing fashion that they are the best team in the League. The previous high score in the tournaments was a 35 for Toronto against Queen’s in 1926, so that the scoring ability of the team may be judged.” Four of nine players were freshman and only one had previous senior experience. The team was “to have been coached by Phyllis Griffiths but she took ill and Miss Marion Forward, a member of the 1926 and 1927 teams took over.”
