[...] Nous avons dit qu'il y avait des fuites dans la communication, du fait de la précarité du seuil d'attention.

Canadian Football League East Division. ... The East Division is one of the two regional divisions of the Canadian Football League. Although the CFL was not founded until 1958, the East Division and its clubs are descended from earlier leagues. ... Pre-1907, predecessor of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, in 1968. This was followed by the formation of the Montreal Foot Ball Club in 1872, the Toronto Argonaut Football Club in 1873 and the Ottawa Football Club (the future Ottawa Rough Riders) in 1876. ... In 1907, the Hamilton Tigers and Toronto Argonauts of the ORFU joined with the QRFU's Montreal Foot Ball Club and Ottawa Rough Riders (Ottawa had been moving back and forth between the two unions over the past few years) to form an elite competition, the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union [IRFU]. ... The IRFU changed its name to the Eastern Football Conference [EFC] in 1960. ... In 1960, the CFL's [Canadian Football League] two conferences agreed to a full merger and a full interlocking schedule. Although the EFC has carried on since that time as the CFL's East Division, full authority is now vested within the CFL. 1, record 6, English, - Eastern%20Football%20Conference
