On the day before the game, a rare, heavy late November snowfall blanketed the field. Heavy equipment was sent to clear the snowfall before the game. However, the equipment damaged the turf, which was already in bad shape from poor groundskeeping during the regular season. To make matters worse, on the morning of the game the weather turned much warmer, and the snowfall turned to steady rain. By game time, the field was torn up and soaked with water, with the rain continuing through the entire game. The game was anti-climactic with both teams having difficulty moving the ball in the conditions.
Winnipeg's star quarterback Jack Jacobs fumbled twice in the second quarter and was later pulled from the game in the final quarter for Pete Petrow.
The Blue Bombers stayed in the game until the third quarter, when Jake Dunlap blocked a Jack Jacobs punt, and the Argonauts recovered on the Winnipeg 20-yard line, leading to the game's only touchdown.
