1888:

Ottawa College defeats Montreal, although the score was officially 0-0. "The College team proved themselves much superior to their opponents, and for the last twenty minutes the ball was within ten yards of Montreal goal-line. A little judicious coaching might have resulted in a score, but it is very doubtful, as both teams exhibited a decided tendancy to keep the ball in the scrimmage...There is one thing that the game should prove to the promoters of Rugby in Canada, and that is, that there must be something done to render such scrimmaging impossible." - The Owl, Dec. 1988.

College scored 11 points with the wind in the first half, while Argos were blanked and in the second half Argos made 12 straight points and had a lead of one in the final minutes of play, but Callaghan made a grand kick against the wind that went 40 yards into touch and saved the day.
