In 1903, the Ontario Rugby Football Union adopted a set of rules for their sport which were codified by Thrift Burnside, the captain of the University of Toronto football team.

The rules were major changes to the game of rugby and were largely based on the rules created by Walter Camp for use in American football in the 1880s.

However, with those rules, a new game developed that was neither rugby nor American football.
