This practice of putting well known eastern football players in charge of the teams of western universities has certainly improved the standard of play, and in many instances has often wrought havoc with the alma maters of the coaches. Some years ago the big eastern colleges tried to prevent their graduates from accepting positions as coaches on other teams, but the fat salaries offered were inducements too great to be cast aside."

1900 Michigan Wolverines football team, Season summary, Week 9: Ohio State
As the game commenced at 2:30 p.m., snow and sleet began falling. The field became muddy and slippery, making it difficult for either team's ball carriers to gain traction or speed in advancing the ball. Ohio utilized "straight football" while on offense with McClaren and Westwater as the main ball carriers. During the second half, Michigan employed a "tandem formation" in an effort to aggregate sufficient weight to gain ground on the slippery field.


1900 Michigan Wolverines football team, Season summary, Week 9: Ohio State

Despite the Wolverines' inability to score, The U. of M. Daily wrote that the team "put up the best game it has shown this season with the possible exception of the Illinois game." The game was played in 25-minute halves.


1900 Michigan Wolverines football team, Season summary, Week 9: Ohio State
After the game, coach Lea said: "The team played good but not fast enough. . . . The tandem play seemed in a measure to help on the slippery field, but it is a poor play and only good for short gains, while it tired out the whole team. We shall cut it out in future."

The backdrop of the election campaign was the backlash among whites to the relatively large role that African Americans had played in politics during the 1890s, as the coalition (or "Fusion") of Republicans and Populists took power. In 1898, the state Democratic Party won back the majority of seats in the legislature on a platform emphasizing "white supremacy." The resulting legislature then proposed an amendment to the North Carolina Constitution which added a literacy test and a poll tax requirement for voting, amounting to disfranchisement. The state's voters approved the constitutional amendment on the same day as the 1900 gubernatorial election.

1900 Republican National Convention
The 1900 National Convention of the Republican Party of the United States was held June 19 to June 21 in the Exposition Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Exposition Auditorium was located south of the University of Pennsylvania, and the later Convention Hall was constructed along the building's east wall. It was demolished in 2006.


1900 Republican National Convention
Each state was allotted two delegates per electoral vote, and territories were granted from two to six delegates. Altogether, there were 926 delegates and an equal number of alternates.


1900 Republican National Convention
Mark Hanna opened the convention. He proposed that Senator Edward O. Wolcott of Colorado serve as temporary chairman. The purpose of Wolcott's selection was to show that the party had overcome its divisiveness of 1896, in which the Colorado delegation had walked out of the Republican convention. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts served as the convention's permanent chairman.


1900 Republican National Convention
President William McKinley was unanimously nominated for reelection: no candidate ran against him, although Admiral George Dewey considered a run.


1900 Republican National Convention
Governor Theodore Roosevelt of New York, who was himself a delegate, was nominated for vice president by a vote of 925 to zero, his vote alone abstaining.


1900 Republican National Convention, State delegates
The 1900 Republican National Convention included a historic first for the Republican Party: Jennie L. McCargar Jones of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Susan Henderson West of Lewiston, Idaho, served as alternate delegates.


1900 Republican National Convention, Speakers
The 1900 convention had fewer speakers than a modern convention typically has due to lack of TV and even radio at this time. There were however the following speakers:


1900 Republican National Convention, Speakers, June 21
Balloting: President McKinley was nominated unanimously. This was the first time this happened since President Grant was nominated in 1872.


1900 Republican National Convention, Speakers, June 21
Wanting to get rid of him, Boss Platt, convinced New York governor Theodore Roosevelt, hero of the hour, to allow himself to be nominated for Vice President.


1900 Republican National Convention, Speakers, June 21
Balloting: Governor Roosevelt was nominated for Vice President, though he abstained from voting on his own nomination.


1900 Republican National Convention, Vice Presidential nomination
Vice President Garret Hobart had announced in September 1899 that he would not seek re-election due to declining health. In the event, he died in office on November 21, 1899, leaving the party the task of choosing a running mate for McKinley.


1900 Republican National Convention, Vice Presidential nomination
Entering the convention, many had expected that the ticket would consist of President McKinley and New York Governor Theodore Roosevelt. However, Ohio Senator Mark Hanna maneuvered to keep Roosevelt off the ballot, instead proposing Navy Secretary John D. Long of Massachusetts or Iowa Representative Jonathan P. Dolliver. Without the support of McKinley, Hanna's efforts fell short. Roosevelt himself did not particularly want to abandon his position of governor, but he desired to run for president in 1904 and when the party nominated him, he accepted the position. Roosevelt's nomination was spearheaded by bosses Matthew Quay of Pennsylvania and Thomas C. Platt of New York, the latter of whom wished to find a different job for the reformist Roosevelt.

1900 Rossendale by-election
The Rossendale by-election, 1900 was a parliamentary by-election held for the British House of Commons constituency of Rossendale in Lancashire on 13 February 1900.


1900 Rossendale by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the sitting Liberal MP, John Henry Maden who had represented Rossendale since himself being returned in a by-election in 1892. Later, Maden would briefly return to Parliament as Rossendale’s MP between 1917-1918 when  he would win the seat at a by-election 17 years later to the day and hold it until the 1918 general election.


1900 Rossendale by-election, Vacancy
Maden announced late in 1899 that he wished to resign as Rossendale’s Member of Parliament. The local Liberal Association met in December 1899 and passed a motion regretting Maden’s resignation, asking him to stay on until the next general election and authorising the search for a new candidate. Maden was unwilling to wait for the next general election however and it was clear that political differences had developed between Maden and his local party.


1900 Rossendale by-election, Vacancy
He put out a statement in January 1900 placing the blame for his resignation on the officers of the Rossendale Liberal Council and their demands that he devote more time and, crucially, more of his own income to the constituency and its financial support. He specifically rejected the argument that he was tired of Parliament, which was probably true since he chose to return there at the by-election in Rossendale in 1917. He also denied that he had in any way fallen out of sympathy with the principles of Liberalism. In late January he sought an appointment as Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead, a traditional device for resigning MPs.


1900 Rossendale by-election, Vacancy
There was clearly some bad blood between Maden and the local Liberal establishment however as when the time came Maden refused to sign the nomination paper of the Liberal candidate in the by-election and he refused to appear in support of the candidate during the election, leading to accusations of his being ‘the spoilt baby of politics.’


1900 Rossendale by-election, Candidates, Liberals
The Rossendale Liberals first chose Alderman Trickett, chairman of the Rossendale Liberal Council and a prominent  local slipper manufacturer, as their candidate and it was reported that he had accepted the offer. However, before long the Liberals had formally adopted another man, William Mather. Mather was the chairman of an engineering company and had previously been the Liberal MP for Salford and for Manchester Gorton. He was formally adopted at a meeting on 3 February 1900.


1900 Rossendale by-election, Candidates, Unionists
The Liberals had an expectation that the by-election would be uncontested as Maden had been returned unopposed at the 1895 general election and had polled heavily in 1892. However the Conservatives decided to fight the seat and on 1 February selected as their candidate Dr. George Kingsbury, a medical doctor who was the Mayor of Blackpool. Kingsbury apparently fought a good campaign and while his chances were rated very low at the outset of the election, he gained many independent plaudits for his performance at the hustings. He also had the advantage that Mather was unable to visit the constituency during most of the contest as he was unwell in St. Moritz. After the election, he was told by his doctors that he needed at least six weeks rest before conducting any sort of business.


1900 Rossendale by-election, Issues
Mather issued an election address soon after his adoption as candidate in which he highlighted what he saw as the most important political questions of the day; the need for improved methods of national education, Irish Home Rule and he cautiously raised the issue of the government’s role in the outbreak and conduct of the war in South Africa. Kingsbury also focussed his attention on the war in support of the government’s position, saying that the main issue before the electors of Rossendale was one of patriotism against party.


1900 Rossendale by-election, Issues
It was noted that the local sentiment was generally pro-war and when Kingsbury read out a telegram of support from another MP expressing the hope that Rossendale would, like other places, ‘help our soldiers at the front’ it was received with great enthusiasm. Liberals too were divided on the question of the war, although it was doubted voters would desert the party on the issue and Mather was probably more anti-war than he chose to admit in public.


1900 Rossendale by-election, The result
Although snow lay on the ground on election day, placing difficulties on party workers and electors, the day was a fine one and, while the turnout was said to be down on recent elections, Mather held the seat for the Liberals with a majority broadly consistent with previous elections.

The 1900 South Australian Football Association season was the 24th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.


1900 SAFA season
The North Adelaide Football Club won their first premiership and Port Adelaide collected their third wooden spoon, which is the club's last as of 2021.


1900 SAFA season, Minor rounds
The minor rounds comprised twelve matches. North Adelaide finished as the minor premiers, one win ahead of West Torrens.


1900 SAFA season, Major rounds
The major premiership was contested under the same system which had been adopted by the Victorian Football League in 1898 (except adapted for six teams instead of eight). The six teams were broken into two sections: section A comprised North Adelaide (1st), South Adelaide (3rd) and West Adelaide (5th); section B comprised West Torrens (2nd), Norwood (4th) and Port Adelaide (6th). Each section played an individual round-robin; then, the section winners played off in a final. The minor premiers, North Adelaide, would then have the right to challenge the winner of the final to a Grand Final for the major premiership.


1900 San Jose State Spartans football team
The 1900 San Jose State Spartans football team represented State Teachers College at San Jose during the 1900 college football season. The 1900 team was co-coached by three men, James Addicott, who was the first coach for the Spartans back in 1895, coach Whitemeger, and one of the most well-known coaches of his era, Fielding Yost. This trio of leadership did not allow the Spartans to repeat their record from the year before, compiling a mild 3–3–1, although for the first time all of the Spartan's games were against collegiate opponents.


1900 San Narciso earthquake
The 1900 Venezuelan earthquake, better known as the 1900 San Narciso earthquake (Español: 1900 terremoto de San Narciso), occurred on October 28 at between 4:30 to 4:45 am local time. This earthquake had an epicenter off Miranda State or near the Venezuelan capital Caracas, in the Cariaco Basin. This earthquake had an estimated moment magnitude of 7.6 to 7.7 and a surface wave magnitude of 7.7 to 8.4. It had a maximum Mercalli intensity assigned at between VIII and X, causing landslides and liquefaction events. Many buildings were severely damaged or collapsed during the earthquake. It is thought to be the last great earthquake of the 19th century and the largest instrumentally recorded in the republic, having been felt throughout.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Earthquake
The earthquake was associated with strike-slip faulting along either the La Tortuga or San Sebastián faults. These two faults are thought to be striking east–west off the northern Venezuelan coast. A recent study in 2015, concluded that the San Sebastián Fault was the structure responsible for this earthquake. The San Sebastián Fault is submarine for most of its length. Its onshore trace is parallel to the southern flanks of the Venezuelan Coastal Range. Older studies including one by Lugo in 1984 assigned the San Sebastián Fault as the source after reassessing the earthquake intensity data.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Earthquake
Audemard in 2002 used the idea of a seismic gap around the region where the earthquake struck. The rupture extent caused by the 1900 earthquake is located between that of the 1812 and 1853 earthquakes. Ocean-bottom surveys found young seafloor deformation and fault scarps which are evidence of the 1900 rupture. A rupture length of 220 km for an Mw  7.6 and 270 km for a Mw  7.7 with an average slip depth at 15 km has been suggested.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Earthquake, Magnitude
This earthquake is larger than the magnitude 7.5 1812 Caracas earthquake, but was far less destructive. With a magnitude of 7.7. on both the surface wave and moment magnitude scales, it is the largest instrumentally recorded earthquake in Venezuela. The NGDC lists this earthquake as having a surface wave magnitude of 8.4 while a 1983 catalog placed that figure at 7.7. Charles Francis Richter also assigned the earthquake at Ms  8.4 in his 1958 book Elementary seismology. In a 1992 catalog by Pacheco and Sykes, and a 2020 study on the coseismic effects, this event was Mw  7.6.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact
With an epicenter in the Caribbean Sea, the earthquake badly affected the north-central Venezualan coast. In the central region, the earthquake resulted in shaking as high as IX on the Mercalli intensity scale, covering a 3,560 km2 region around the epicenter. The seaside cities of Macuto, Guarenas and Guatire were the most severely affected by the earthquake. The Los Roques archipelago in the Caribbean Sea also suffered heavy effects, reportedly bering the highest number of victims. Twenty-five people were said to have been killed in Guarenas because of the mainshock. The total death toll from the earthquake however, is estimated at over 140.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact
Large landslides and liquefaction took place in Anzoátegui, Aragua, Carabobo, Distrito Capital, Miranda and Vargas. The heavily populated localities that were affected include Barcelona, Onoto and Carenero. Some slight damage was reported in San Antonio de Los Altos, Paparo, Panaquire, Guarenas, Capaya, La Tortuga Island, Los Roques archipelago, Güigüe, San Diego, Clarines, Puerto Cabello and Caucagua as a result.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact
Iglesia de San Francisco, a church in Caracas, was severely damagedby the earthquake. Another church in Naiguatá was completely destroyed. In Macuto, landslides buried or destroyed railway lines serving the cities Caracas and La Guaira. Guatire saw 237 homes, a parish church, government house and court offices damaged or collapsed. In Guarenas, some 72 homes toppled.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact
In all, at least 140 individuals perishes and more than 50 others were injured.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact, Effects on landscape and hydrological features
In a seaside port in Barcelona named El Rincón, built on alluvium deposits from the Neverí River, many large cracks opened in the ground. Some cracks were said to be longer than 300 meters. A 400 m2 of alluvium in the city subsided significantlly due to lateral spreadung as a result of ground failure. Field observations also noted that an opening of the Neverí River was narrowed by more than two meters, while its water level rose. The water level in a number of saline wells rose substantially by several meters and began sloshing violently.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact, Effects on landscape and hydrological features
Along the Rio Unare in Anzoátegui, portions of its bank slumped into the water. Large and deep fissures opened, ejecting mud and water. Seiches formed along the river, causing water to breach the channel by seven meters. A man was caught in the waves when he was taking a bath but manage to escape.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact, Effects on landscape and hydrological features
In Carenero, Miranda, the ground sprouted black water that smelled of sulfur. Liquefaction caused several homes and other buildings to sink partially.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact, Effects on landscape and hydrological features
Hot springs located near San Diego, Anzoátegui dired up some time after the earthquake.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact, Effects on landscape and hydrological features
Residents living around Lake Tacarigua also described violent seiches in the lake as well as loud noises compared to that of a sea. They added that large flames and fire shot out of the ground near the lake shores.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact, Effects on landscape and hydrological features
A 100-meter wide landslide buried and sealed off a section of the Caracas-La Guaira highway between Guaracarumbo and Ojo de Agua.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Impact, Aftershocks
More than 250 aftershocks were recorded in the months following the main event. The aftershocks were disruptive to the local population. An aftershock is claimed to woke then President of Venezuela Cipriano Castro during the middle of the night. Frightened by the tremors, he leaped off one of the windows of the Yellow House and suffered a broken ankle.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Tsunami
A tsunami is said to have flooded the low-lying near shore zones of northern Venezuela. Waves swept into the Los Roques archipelago and north-central Venezuelan coasts. It manifasted in the form of tidal bores at the mouth of the Neverí River which resulted in the rise in waer level. The tsunami is estimated to be 1-meter high. Witnesses at the coast at the mouth of the Guapo River in Puerto Tuy, Miranda reported seeing large waves up to 10 meters high although this claim is disputed.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Tsunami
Because the earthquake struck in complete darkenss, before sunrise, it is unlikely that the eyewitness could have a clear view of the wave. In addition, it is nearly impossible for the witness to survive being struck by the 10-meter tsunami. The small village of Paparo was partially sumberged by the waves. A better estimate of the maximum tsunami wave height is 5 meters at Barlovento. The tsunami is thought to be generated by a submarine landslide or some other mechanism associated with faulting.


1900 San Narciso earthquake, Legacy
The earthquake of 1900 was a catalyst in expanding research in seismology in Venezuela due to its size and being one of the last great historical earthquakes at the time. The first seismic instruments were brought into the country in the aftermath of the earthquake and installed at the Cagigal Observatory in November 1900 to early 1901.


1900 Sewanee Tigers football team

1900 South Carolina gubernatorial election
The 1900 South Carolina gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1900 to select the governor of the state of South Carolina. Governor Miles Benjamin McSweeney won the Democratic primary and ran unopposed in the general election to win a term for governor in his own right.


1900 South Carolina gubernatorial election, Democratic primary
The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary for governor on August 28 and incumbent Governor McSweeney was the frontrunner. McSweeney favored the continuation of the state Dispensary which brought the backing of influential Senator and former Governor Ben Tillman. Prohibitionist James A. Hoyt won second place in the primary to advance to the runoff on September 11, but could not overcome McSweeney because the voters of the state simply did not want any alteration of an institution set up by Ben Tillman.


1900 South Carolina gubernatorial election, General election
The general election was held on November 6, 1900 and Miles Benjamin McSweeney was elected to a second term as governor of South Carolina without opposition. Turnout greatly increased over the previous gubernatorial election because there was also a presidential election on the ballot.


1900 South Dakota gubernatorial election
The 1900 South Dakota gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1900. Incumbent Governor Andrew E. Lee, a Populist elected under Fusion with Populists, Free Silver Republicans, and Democrats, opted to run for Congress rather than for a third term. Former Sioux Falls Mayor Burre H. Lien won the Fusion nomination and ran against former Lieutenant Governor Charles N. Herreid. However, despite the closeness of the 1896 and 1898 elections, the Fusion's luck ran out; Herreid defeated Lien in a landslide to reclaim the office for the Republican Party.


1900 South Dakota gubernatorial election, Republican convention
Several months prior to the Republican convention in Sioux Falls on May 24, 1900, former Lieutenant Governor Charles N. Herreid, who had previously sought the Republican nomination for Governor in 1896, announced that he would run for Governor. No serious challengers emerged, and he was seen as the likely frontrunner. At the convention, he was nominated unanimously.


1900 South Dakota gubernatorial election, Fusion conventions
At the Fusion convention in Yankton, former Sioux Falls Mayor Burre H. Lien and Railroad Commissioner W. T. LaFollette were mentioned as the leading candidates, though some delegates suspected that Governor Lee might be renominated for a third term, breaking "the unwritten law of the political parties of South Dakota." LaFollette's unpopularity led to his chances shrinking at the convention, and the momentum favored Lien; Lee, meanwhile, was floated as a Fusion candidate for Congress. Ultimately, Lien was nominated for Governor and Lee for Congress, which was ratified by the Populist and Democratic conventions.

1900 Stanford football team
The 1900 Stanford Cardinal football team represented Stanford University in the 1900 college football season. In their first and only season under head coach Fielding H. Yost, the team compiled a 7–2 record, shut out seven of nine opponents, scored 154 points (17.1 points per game), and allowed 20 points (2.2 points per game) by opponents. The team registered three shutouts against the Reliance Club, two shutouts against California State Normal School, now known as San Jose State University, and single game shutouts against Oregon and California. The team's two losses came against Nevada (0–6) and a Stanford alumni team (0–14) that featured coach Yost playing at the fullback position.


1900 Stanford football team
Stanford's final game of the season against California, played on Thanksgiving Day in San Francisco, drew the largest crowd to that date to watch a sporting event west of the Mississippi River. An overflow crowd watched from the roof of an adjacent factory. The weight of the spectators caused the roof to collapse, plunging a large group, primarily boys and young men, to the concrete floor and active furnaces of the factory. In all, 22 died and more than 70 were injured.


1900 Stanford football team, Season summary, Pre-season
The 1899 Stanford football team compiled a disappointing 2–5–2 record in their first and last year under head coach Burr Chamberlain. In December 1899, William Wesley "Babe" Burnett, a 26-year-old tackle and law student from Adelaide, California, was unanimously elected as the captain of the 1900 Stanford team.


1900 Stanford football team, Season summary, Pre-season
On March 1, 1900, after a bidding war with Missouri,  Stanford hired Fielding H. Yost as its football coach. Yost had led the 1899 Kansas team to an undefeated 10–0 record. The San Francisco Call reported at the time of Yost's hiring: "Yost seems to be a favorite wherever he goes, and his success lies in his ability to develop magnificent team work." However, some Stanford players, including team captain Burnett, initially objected to Yost's hiring on grounds that he came from a small college (Lafayette College) and was "not known to the leaders of college football in the East."


1900 Stanford football team, Season summary, Pre-season
In July 1900, Stanford football administrator J. Burt Gildersleeve traveled east to inspect the football training facilities at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Penn. While in the east, he also met with coach Yost in Pittsburgh. Upon his return, Gildersleeve expressed confidence in the choice of Yost: "He impressed me as being a man of strong personality and wonderful magnetism, and he certainly knows the game from start to finish. . . . I am confident that he will be a success, and I think we were fortunate in securing his services against the higher bid of Missouri."
