The 1950 Grey Cup, forever dubbed "The Mud Bowl," was won by the Toronto Argonauts, as they shut out the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 13–0.
The wet and muddy conditions at Toronto's Varsity Stadium created a quagmire but did not prevent the Argonauts from winning their eighth Grey Cup title.
Winnipeg's Tom Casey misjudged Joe Krol's punt from the Blue Bombers 49-yard line, as the ball went over his head and into the end zone for a rouge.
Joe Krol avoided a potential turnover later in the half when he dropped the ball on an attempted kick in Bombers territory.
After two running plays from Ulysses "Crazy Legs" Curtis and Teddy Toogood, Nick Volpe was successful on a field goal from the Winnipeg 23.
Although Varsity Stadium, and later Exhibition Stadium, continued to be the primary venue for the Grey Cup, the criticism of the conditions at both fields eventually led to the venue shifting among the cities of the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union and the Western Interprovincial Football Union on a regular basis.
