It was the Argonaut Football Club's 12th season of organized league play since joining the Ontario Rugby Football Union in 1898, and its third season in the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union. The team finished in third place in the "Big Four" league with one win and five losses and failed to qualify for the Dominion playoffs.
The team was managed by Argonaut rowing great Joe Wright, a former Double Blue player, who took a hand in coaching the squad along with captain and quarterback Warren Coryell. This proved to be the last season in their history that the Argos played a season without a dedicated coach.
