It was common practice at this time for colleges and universities to include non-collegiate opponents in their schedules, with the games recognized as part of their official record for the season, and the February 12, 1913, game against the Maryland Athletic Club counted as part of Georgetown's won-loss record for 1912-13.

1912–13 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard entered the year with a team that may have been less talented than previous squads, but it was no less competitive. The team displayed an increasing level of play throughout December between practices and scrimmages with the Boston Athletic Association. The available ice at the Boston Arena paid dividends for the Crimson in allowing them to hone their game in their attempt to reclaim the championship.


1912–13 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
The Crimson made up for last year's poor start with a dominant 4–0 win over MIT where the team used many of its backup players throughout the game. After returning from the winter break Harvard faced a tough Ottawa team and could not find its footing offensively, losing 0–2 despite a stellar effort from team captain Gardner. The team buckled down and prepared itself for a match against Toronto a week later. When the Blues arrived in town they found an impenetrable wall in front of the Harvard cage and left after a 0–2 loss to the Crimson.


1912–13 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
After dismantling Cornell 8–2, Harvard welcomed defending champion Princeton in one of the most anticipated games of the season. The teams locked horns and battled nearly the same as they had the year before; Princeton's offense, led by Hobey Baker applied a continual assault on the Crimson defenders but neither team could beat the other in regulation. With the score 3–3 the two teams had agreed to play two 5-minute overtime periods in case they were needed. Harvard was able to score once in each extra frame and take the game 5–3, putting themselves at a great advantage in their pursuit of a championship.


1912–13 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
By the time Harvard played Yale on February 1, the teams had arranged a best-of-three series so that Harvard, Yale and Princeton would play one another at least twice. If any of the three emerged as a clear victor they would likely be able to claim the collegiate championship as the teams were typically among the best in the nation.


1912–13 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard's solid win over the Bulldogs had them on the cusp of a terrific season but in the second game against Princeton the Tiger attack was too much to cope with and a third game was required to settle the series. While the third game would not officially decide the champion, as Harvard still had Yale left to play, Princeton could secure the championship if it won the rubber match. With this in mind Gardner produced one of the most brilliant goaltending performances in school history, turning away 29 shots en route to a 3–0 victory, the only time in the three years with Baker that Princeton would fail to score.


1912–13 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
With Yale still remaining, Harvard couldn't slow down if they wanted to claim the championship. The Elis played Harvard tough in the first half, scoring the only goal of the frame to put a bit of fear in the minds of the Crimson faithful. The game remained the same through most of the second half but with 5 minutes left the Crimson offense awoke and scored three times. Yale added one just before the end of the game but it wasn't enough to turn the tide and Harvard skated away with the collegiate hockey championship.

1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team
However, the league did not come to fruition partially because Trinity College's professors did not want to have athletic contests with North Carolina. Student–run newspaper The Tar Heel published several pieces where they stated the prior season's poor performance was because the team did not start practicing until after Christmas. Try-outs started in early December, but over time participating students dwindled and scrimmaging became difficult, which prompted Chambers to publish in ad in the student newspaper asking for taller players to come by regardless of their experience.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team
In January, after exams, the season opened with a four–game home stand. Following an opening one–point loss to the Durham Y.M.C.A., the Tar Heels won back–to–back games by large margins against Davidson College and Elon College.

1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season

In addition, it was announced baskets would be placed that week on outside tennis courts and hopefully practice would begin in the fall. However, the goals had not been placed by mid–October. In early November, The Tar Heel published a column where it credited the team's poor performance the previous year due to starting practice after Christmas, stating successful programs practiced in October.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season
The writer commented that at this point captain Chambers had the players "report" and the team managers had not organized a try–out. The writer further mentioned that several students had been playing on the outdoor courts that were set–up and would provide good opportunities to find new members as well as good competition. On Monday December 2 at 8 PM local time, the try–outs started. Several men showed up including returning players Tillett, Carrington, and Smith returned from the previous year, along with Meb Long who played two years ago. At this point, the schedule was rumored to feature 18 to 20 games, including six at home and a road trip into Virginia for several contests against the likes of Randolph–Macon College, University of Virginia, Washington and Lee University, and more.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season

Of the scheduled games listed, a home game against Guilford on March 8 was not played. A home game was scheduled against Wake Forest on March 4, while the NC A&M home game did not materialize. Practice resumed following Christmas break and Chambers led practices each night while coach Nathaniel Cartmell was on temporary leave.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season
The team was thought to have enough tall players and often the team had at most fifteen men, which made scrimmaging difficult. The first game was to happen after exams were finished. The Tar Heel stated the returning players would help the team be stronger than the previous year. With regards to the new players, it was noted that Ransom was "scrappier than ever." Guard Redman was thought to replace Erwin's void from the year prior.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season
Chambers published an ad in the January 10, 1913 edition of The Tar Heel where he opened saying "We need more men out for the basketball team and we need them badly." Chambers cited a tough schedule and the need for more than just the roughly fifteen candidates for the team to improve and beat Virginia, NC A&M, and Wake Forest. Chambers requested "Tall men of the football type" and encouraged those without experience to try out.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season, State–wide basketball league
In late October, it was announced that Carolina, along with other in–state schools including Elon College, Guilford College, North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (NC A&M), Trinity College, and Wake Forest, formed a basketball association, the North Carolina Intercollegiate Basketball Association. Representatives from each school met in Raleigh, North Carolina's Yarborough Hotel where they elected officers including North Carolina's manager R. O. Hufmann, who became president.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season, State–wide basketball league
Eligibility rules were agreed upon—which were stricter due to Trinity's concurrent membership of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association—and it was decided that no player would be allowed to participate if they had been in college for longer than four years or participated in any professional sporting events or teams. The scheduling of basketball games was the primary topic covered at the first meeting as it was hoped that each team in attendance would play two games against each other team represented at the meeting.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season, State–wide basketball league
The state championship would then be awarded to the team that had the best record against the conference members, but if a tie happened there would be a series of games in Raleigh's city auditorium. Huffman officially scheduled a game with NC A&M for February 22 in Raleigh, with hopes for a home game during the season. More rules and organization related topics were to be decided upon at later meetings. This was viewed as a positive development because students at North Carolina had been hoping to have competitive engagements with NC A&M and Trinity in basketball and football.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Pre-season, State–wide basketball league
In mid–December, it was reported that the North Carolina Intercollegiate Basketball Association had fallen through, in part, because Trinity faculty did not wish to have any athletic contests with North Carolina, while the students did. A reporter wrote that a rivalry between Trinity and North Carolina would "probably outstrip anything that has ever been seen in this state in any kind of athletics."


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season

1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
Carolina was thought to have had poor teamwork and "weak" passing, while missing ten of sixteen free throw attempts hurt the team as well. The Tar Heel commented that the crowd for the game was "rude" and "semi–civilized," expressing desire to show visiting teams more respect in the future. Davidson College came next to Chapel Hill for a game on February 3. North Carolina shut out Davidson in the first half as they scored 16 points. The Tar Heels were led by Long and Carrington, who made the majority of the scores on their way to a 42–8 victory. Two days later, North Carolina faced Elon in a fast-paced match. The Tar Heels outscored the visitors by double digits each half on their way to a 41–11 win.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
Emory and Henry College entered Chapel Hill two days later to face a Carolina team missing Redmon, who was absent due to an ankle injury. Emory scored quickly and then due to "wild and erratic" play, no team scored for a couple minutes until Homewood leveled the score. The teams improved their play and each scored a couple times before Emory took control and went into halftime with a 11–6 lead. Emory continued shooting well in the second half and increased their advantage. Carolina closed the score, but time expired and Emory won 20–17.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
Twelve hundred spectators packed the Raleigh Auditorium to see North Carolina take on Virginia. Virginia's offense in the first half was dribbling heavy and allowed them to get an early 8–3 lead, while North Carolina rallied with long shots to level the score at 13 for the half. Carolina's Redmon was disqualified for "rough playing" and the crowd yelled furiously at the referee, which stalled the game ten minutes.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
Homewood replaced Redmon for Carolina, but without Redmon – who had been playing great defense on Virginia's best player – Carolina fouled Virginia several times and their forward Gill converted several attempts. Virginia closed the game out to win 30–19. After the game, The Tar Heel wrote that the team played its best ball of the season in the first half.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
The Tar Heels went on the road and faced Wake Forest in what The Tar Heel referred to as a "fine exhibition" where both teams played "hard and rough." The Baptists led entering the half at 14–8. In the second half, North Carolina made a comeback primarily through foul shots, of which Long made 9 of 12 for the game. The second half expired with the teams level at 20, which meant the teams would play a five-minute overtime period. Wake Forest's Holding made one shot in the period, while Carolina's Long made a foul shot.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
Holding carried Wake Forest to the win behind 20 points. In advance of the matchup against NC A&M, Carolina students who had season tickets were announced to have gotten free admission to the game in Raleigh on February 22. This likely contributed to what was reported as the largest crowd to attend a basketball game in North Carolina at 2,500 people. This was the first contest between the schools, aside from track meets, in seven years. The teams played slowly and each played tight defense in the first half, which resulted in a 9–6 score in favor of NC A&M. Each team's play intensified in the second half and several shots were made from long distance. The Farmers' Sumner made a long shot with a backwards throw over his head en route to a 26–18 victory.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
Three days later, back in Chapel Hill, V.P.I. and North Carolina squared off and went scoreless for the first five minutes, before Carolina's Long made a foul shot. Carolina then scored nine more points while shutting out V.P.I. V.P.I. managed to only score five points in the first half and four in the secondm, unable to counter the Tar Heels' offense, the final score was 29–9 in favor of Carolina. The Tar Heel praised the North Carolina squad's teamwork in the game.


1912–13 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team, Regular season
Guilford, regarded as the best team in the state, were led by forward Benbow who proceeded to score 32 of the team's 44 points as they beat the Tar Heels. Carolina's next game was a rematch against Elon on March 1. Carolina won the first half 12–9, but Elon overcame that deficit and took the lead and won the game behind a great performance from Johnson. The Tar Heel wrote that this was Carolina's "weakest game of the season." The final game of the season was a rematch against Wake Forest. Carolina led the whole game and won the game 19–15. Carrington was the game's leading scorer with three field goals.

1912–13 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
With both Yale and Columbia dropping from the Intercollegiate Hockey Association the league champion would be so in name only. As a result, Princeton made arrangements with Harvard and Yale to play best-of-three series against one another. Despite the upheaval, Princeton began the season well with a pair practice game wins before throttling Williams to open the season. Team captain Hobey Baker set a program record by recording 8 goals in the game and added three assists.


1912–13 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
Princeton then embarked on a road trip to Syracuse for a three-game series with Cornell where the Tigers claimed all three contests. Despite being beset by two defenders for parts of the games, Baker scored 10 goals while assists were not recorded. For the first conference game Princeton jumped out to an early lead thanks to the efforts of Baker and Kuhn but Dartmouth clawed back into the game with a strong effort but ultimately fell short. The next game against Cornell was a lopsided affair with Baker scoring 5 goals and notching at least one assist in the 9–0 win that gave Princeton the IHA championship.


1912–13 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
The difficult portion of their schedule began after claiming the conference title when the Tigers faced their toughest opponent to date, Yale. The Bulldogs followed a similar tactic to earlier opponents by pitting two defenders against Baker but with the increased talent possessed by the Elis their efforts were more effective. While Baker was held goal-less the rest of the team was able to build a two-goal lead in the second half but a flurry of three goals in three minutes by Yale left the Tigers reeling. Kilner managed to tie the game late and push the match into overtime.


1912–13 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
The tough defensive work done by Yale in regulation appeared to be all the Elis could give and just 12 seconds into the extra frame Patterson scored. The Tigers kept the pressure on, allowing Baker to score his only goal of the night just before the end of the 5-minute session and give Princeton the win.


1912–13 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
Their next game came against Harvard and the two teams fought a close affair that required overtime. Crimson netminder Gardner stopped some 40 shots in the game and his team rewarded him with a victory, handing Princeton its first loss of the season. After two wins against non-college foes, Princeton faced Harvard in a rematch and would have to win the game to retain any hope of claiming a collegiate championship. The Tigers did just that, downing Harvard 3–1 with Baker repeating his earlier effort with a goal and an assist. The win set up a deciding game between the two but first Princeton would have to face Yale in a rematch.


1912–13 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
The Tigers started slowly, being unable to beat Yale netminder Harmon, and allowed the Bulldogs to take a 1–0 lead into halftime. The game picked up speed in the second and the powerful offense for Princeton came to the fore. The Tigers scored 8 goals to Yale's 1 with Baker contributing on at least three goals including scoring the game-winner. Their final game of the year would serve as a de facto championship game against Harvard as the two teams had defeated all other peers throughout the season. Princeton played the Crimson hard and fired 29 shots on goal but all were turned aside and Harvard won the contest 3–0, sending a disappointed Tiger team packing.


1912–13 Princeton Tigers men's ice hockey season, Season
Despite the disappointing end, Hobey Baker's minimum of 35 goals on the season is a (unofficial) program record as of 2020. It's unknown how many assists he also scored, as the statistic was not officially recorded, but he was credited with at least 16 for the year. Note: Scoring statistics for the game against St. Paul's were not recorded.

1912–13 South Africa rugby union tour of Europe
Although not managing to win all the matches on the tour, the Springboks won all five test matches against international opposition. Billy Millar was the tour captain even though he was the last person chosen for the tour and was not the selectors' choice of captain, but they were over-ruled by the South African Rugby Board.


1912–13 South Africa rugby union tour of Europe
Millar did have the advantage of being one of the few players to have toured Britain in the previous test, but was seen by the hosts as a fiery character and was not as popular with the players or fans as the 1906's tour captain, Paul Roos. The other two members of the squad to have played in the 1906 tour were vice-captain Fred 'Uncle' Dobbin and Doug Morkel.

The 1912–13 season was Stoke's fourth season in the Southern Football League. In 1913, the club reached its 50th year in existence.


1912–13 Stoke F.C. season
Stoke had ambitions to return to the Football League and the objective for the 1912–13 season was earn a top six place in the Southern League Division One. However Stoke failed spectacularly and ended up finishing bottom and being relegated to the Southern League Division Two. The season was a complete embarrassment to the directors and management and fans started to lose patience with manager Alfred Barker.


1912–13 Stoke F.C. season, Season review, League
With Alfred Barker still manager of the club there were high hopes that the 1912–13 season would see Stoke come good in the top division of the Southern League. The players who had served the club well over the past 12 months or so were all retained and new players were added to the squad to make competition for places harder. The main ambition was a top six place, but by Christmas time Stoke were bottom of the table and stayed there. The directors attributed relegation to bad luck while the supporters blamed Barker.


1912–13 Stoke F.C. season, Season review, League
William Smith, who had been such a key player in attack missed most of the season through injury and his absence proved costly as Stoke had a very poor forward line. Only 14 goals were scored in the first 15 matches (4 against Watford) summed up Stoke's problems and there was no upturn in fortune after Christmas and relegation was duly suffered and it was back to the drawing board once more.


1912–13 Stoke F.C. season, Season review, League
By the end of the season the directors came under considerable pressure from supporters as they were reluctant to accept a place back in Division Two and by the end of April 1913 no players had been offered a new contract contrary to previous practice. The directors eventually accepted life in the Southern League Division Two again but fans vented their anger at them in the annual general meeting.

The Reds finished 20th, winning just three times in the league and four times in total, going out to Liverpool 4-1 at Highbury in the second hurdle of the FA Cup. The Reds` league goal difference was -48, and their top goalscorer in the league, Charles Randall, managed just four goals in 38 games.


1912–13 Woolwich Arsenal F.C. season
The season began with a win, a draw and three losses in the opening five matches, before Woolwich Arsenal embarked upon a run of 22 games without a league win, and in 25 games in all competitions just one match was won, against Croydon Common in the FA Cup first round. Two league wins in a row-against Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion followed, before the Reds` relegation was confirmed on the penultimate day of the season, with Woolwich drawing with Tottenham Hotspur whilst Chelsea defeated Middlesbrough, meaning they fell eight points behind with a game to go.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season
The 1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season was the 18th season of play for the program.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
Prior to the season, Yale, a founding member of the Intercollegiate Hockey Association, withdrew from the league. The Bulldogs' exit was precipitated by the building of the Yale Rink on campus, which meant the team no longer had to travel to find stable ice. League rules required all inter-squad matches to be played at the St. Nicholas Rink or the Boston Arena. Another matter was the disparity in play between the teams.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
Yale, Princeton and Harvard were widely considered as the cream of college hockey, with each competing for the championship year after year, while the remaining teams would rarely demonstrate an equivalent level of play. Rather than be forced into matches that would not enhance Yale's record, the Elis wanted to play the Canadian universities more often and buoy its reputation.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
After an agreement between Yale, Princeton and Harvard to play best-of-three series against one another, the Intercollegiate Hockey League was tentatively formed. Yale, however, could hardly have picked a worse season to declare itself among the college hockey elite as it failed to defeat St. Paul's School, a prep school in its opening game. Yale dispensed with its usual winter break trip and instead played a single game against McGill. While the team performed far better than they had in their first contest they did fall to the Canadian club.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
After returning from the break, Yale scheduled 10 games for the remainder of their season, with a majority taking place at the Yale Rink. In their first game the Elis appeared to have righted the ship by downing Columbia 6–0, though the game had to be played on the road instead of New Haven.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
the Yale Rink did not provide the stable ice the team hoped it would; the match against MIT was called off due to no ice at the rink which also caused the first game against Princeton, originally scheduled for the 13th, to be pushed to later in the year. A third home game against Toronto was also cancelled.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
Yale had to travel to the St. Nicholas Rink for their next game and despite missing out on three games, the Elis gave Princeton a tough fight. After opening the scoring, Yale found itself down by two goals early in the second half. A furious effort by Yale saw the team score four times in the span of four minutes and take a 5–4 lead late in the match. Unfortunately, 17 seconds before regulation ended, Princeton tied the game and then scored twice in overtime to take the first game of the series. A fifth home contest, this time versus Cornell, was cancelled and left the Elis without a home game for the entire month of January.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
The team returned to the ice in February when they travelled to Boston for the first game against Harvard. Yale could not, however, field its normal lineup as several players were missing due to illness or injury. The result was that the Elis could hardly make a dent in the stout Harvard defense and fell 0–4 to the Crimson. The shot total of 34 to 6 in favor of Harvard demonstrates how lopsided the match was.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
Two further home games were cancelled with the second being moved to the St. Nicholas Rink, where Yale fell to Dartmouth 2–3. The next day the Elis were finally able to play at home, defeating the Freshman team in an exhibition match. The second match against Princeton began well for the Bulldogs with Yale leading 1–0 at the half. The second half, however, was a nightmare for the Elis. Princeton scored 8 goals, four coming from Hobey Baker, as the defense was swamped and Yale was soundly beaten 8–2.


1912–13 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
Yale was able to tack on a game against Massachusetts Agricultural College  to give themselves one official home game before the rematch against Harvard. Yale scored first and led at the half but, similar to the Princeton game, Harvard scored three goals and dominated the period. The Elis closed the gap with less than a minute to play but they could not stop Harvard from claiming the Intercollegiate title.

The team did not have a coach, however, Alfred Cowles served as team manager.


1912–13 Yorkshire Cup
The 1912–13 Yorkshire Cup was the eighth occasion on which the  Yorkshire Cup competition, a Rugby league tournament, was held. This year's tournament saw a new name on the trophy, Batley winning the trophy by beating Hull F.C. by the score of 17-3


1912–13 Yorkshire Cup
The match was played at Headingley, Leeds, now in West Yorkshire. The attendance was 16,000 and receipts were £523


1912–13 Yorkshire Cup
This was the only time between 1909–10 and 1919-20 inclusive that Huddersfield would not contest the final. During this period the club made seven appearances out of the eight occasions winning six times (which included four consecutive times between 1913–14 and 1919–20.)


1912–13 Yorkshire Cup, Background
This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants and no "leavers" and so the total of entries remained the same at thirteen.

1913 AAA Championship Car season
The 1913 AAA Championship Car season consisted of 14 races, beginning in San Diego, California on January 1 and concluding in Corona, California on September 9. The de facto National Champion as poled by the American automobile journal Motor Age was Earl Cooper and the winner of the Indianapolis 500 was Jules Goux. Points were not awarded by the AAA Contest Board during the 1913 season. Champions of the day were decided by Chris G. Sinsabaugh, an editor at Motor Age, based on merit and on track performance. The points table was created retroactively in 1927 – all championship results should be considered unofficial.

1913 Ais Gill rail accident
The Ais Gill rail accident occurred on the Settle–Carlisle line in the north of England on 2 September 1913. The proximate cause of the crash was a signal passed at danger, but there were many contributing factors.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Overview
The two trains involved were both passenger trains, which had left Carlisle railway station in the early hours of 2 September, destined for St Pancras station. The Midland Railway, which owned and operated the Settle-Carlisle line, had a policy of using small engines, and the two locomotives had barely sufficient power to surmount the steep gradients on the line with the heavy trains they were assigned. In theory, the load pulled by the first engine, No. 993


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Overview
4-4-0, was 13 long tons (13 t) over its maximum limit of 230 long tons (230 t), so the driver asked for assistance from a pilot engine, but was not given one. To make matters worse, the coal with which both engines were supplied had not been properly screened and was full of slack and 'small coal', which did not fire well and tended to clog the grates.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Overview
The first train left Carlisle at 1:38 am. As it struggled up the gradient to Ais Gill summit, the highest point of the Settle-Carlisle line, the steam pressure steadily dropped to the point where the locomotive's ejectors were unable to generate enough vacuum to hold the train brakes "off", and so the train stopped one-half-mile (800 m) short of the summit. As they cleaned out the grate and tried to build up steam pressure, the driver and fireman made the mistake of telling the guard that they would only be standing for a few minutes. The guard therefore did not protect the train in the rear, which could be done by laying detonators on the rails or walking a considerable distance along the line with a lantern.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Overview
Meanwhile, the second train, hauled by No. 446 4-4-0, was also struggling, although it had a lighter load. Just short of Mallerstang, a few miles north of Ais Gill, the driver left the cab, to walk round the outside framing and oil some of the working parts while the train was in motion. Even though that procedure was no longer necessary because wick lubricators were in use, drivers apparently continued to do it out of habit and pride.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Overview
While the driver was out of the cab, the fireman was having difficulty getting an injector to work, so the water level in the boiler was dropping. When the driver returned, both men worked on the injector, and eventually restarted it. While they were distracted by the problem, their train had passed all the signals at the Mallerstang signal box, which were at danger. The crew also missed a red lantern being waved from the signal box by the Mallerstang signalman, and another being waved by the guard of the first train. Shortly after, they looked up from their distractions to see the first train stalled not far in front of them, and far too late to stop.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Damage
The crash caused an unexpectedly high number of casualties. Even though the last vehicle of the first train was a parcels van, the second train demolished it and ploughed into a third-class coach ahead. The roof of the parcels van slid over the roof of the second engine and sliced into a first class sleeping car behind it. As with many railway collisions in Britain about this time, flammable gas escaping from the cylinders for the gas-oil lighting system ignited and rapidly spread a fire. Fourteen people in the first train died at the scene, and very few remains were later found. Two passengers subsequently died of their injuries. Thirty-eight passengers in the second train were seriously injured.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Aftermath
The subsequent inquiry blamed the crew of the first train for neglecting to protect the rear of their train, and the enginemen (particularly the driver) of the second train for failing to proceed with caution knowing that they must have passed several signals without observing them.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Aftermath
The Mallerstang signalman was also criticised, although his actions did not contribute to the accident. The section controlled three main signals; the "distant", which could indicate "clear" or "caution", and the "home" and "starting", which could both indicate "clear" or "danger". The signalman had thrown all his signals to "caution" or "danger" after the first train passed. As the second train approached, he thought it was proceeding slowly under caution, and lowered the home signal to allow the train to proceed as far as the starting signal. When he realised that the train was actually steaming hard, he could not throw the home signal back to "danger" until the train had already passed it.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Aftermath
The inquiry made several recommendations. Most concerned the enforcement of regulations on drivers, firemen, guards and signalmen to ensure closer attention to their primary duty; the care and safety of trains. The more extensive use of Automatic Train Control (ATC), then under extended trial on the Great Western Railway, was discussed. This would sound a siren in the cab to alert the crew of a train if they passed a signal at danger or caution and then automatically apply the brakes if they failed to acknowledge and cancel the warning. Signalboxes should be fitted with detonator placers, to alert engine crews who missed signals or were unable to observe them in fog or thick weather. Electric lighting was clearly safer than gas oil lighting, and steel-framed carriages were less likely to be crushed than wooden-framed stock.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Aftermath
With regard to the issue of lack of motive power, the inquiry found that the Midland's policy was not to use pilot engines on engines that were on or slightly over their weight limit as the time lost in calling up a pilot engine, attaching it to the train and then removing it further along the line was greater than the time lost by a slightly overloaded train unable to keep up to time. The company did not discipline drivers who failed to keep to time because their trains were overloaded.


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Aftermath
The site of the crash was quite close to the site of the Hawes Junction rail crash which had taken place less than three years earlier, and to which the Midland Railway's small-locomotive policy had also indirectly contributed (in this instance by leading to a large number of light engine movements).


1913 Ais Gill rail accident, Aftermath
The train crash plays an important role in the plotline events of the Kate Morton novel The Forgotten Garden.

1913 Alabama Crimson Tide football team
The 1913 Alabama Crimson Tide football team (variously "Alabama", "UA" or "Bama") represented the University of Alabama in the 1913 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. It was the Crimson Tide's 21st overall and 18th season as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA). The team was led by head coach D. V. Graves, in his third year, and played their home games at the University of Alabama Quad in Tuscaloosa and at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama. They finished the season with a record of six wins and three losses (6–3 overall, 4–3 in the SIAA).


1913 Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Game summaries
Alabama opened the season with three consecutive, shutout victories over Howard (now Samford University), Birmingham College (now Birmingham–Southern College) and Clemson. The 81 points against Birmingham set a new school record. Bama lost their first game of the season against Georgia. After a pair of road victories against Tulane and Mississippi College, Alabama finished their season with a win against Tennessee and losses against Sewanee and Mississippi A&M (now Mississippi State University).


1913 Alberta general election
The 1913 Alberta general election was held in March 1913. The writ was dropped on 25 March 1913 and election day was held 17 April 1913 to elect 56 members to the 3rd Alberta Legislature. Elections in two northern districts took place on 30 July 1913 to compensate for the remote location of the riding. The method to elect members was under the First Past the Post voting system with the exception of the Edmonton district which returned two members under a plurality block vote. The election was unusual with the writ period for the general election being a very short period of 23 days.


1913 Alberta general election
Premier Arthur Sifton led the Alberta Liberal Party into his first election as leader, after taking over from Alexander Rutherford. Premier Rutherford had resigned for his government's involvement in the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway Scandal but remained a sitting member. Sifton faced great criticism for calling the snap election, after ramming gerrymandered electoral boundaries through the legislature, running up the provincial debt and neglecting on promised railways. The Socialist Party carried the banner for labour- and farmer-minded voters in five constituencies; in others, Independent candidates were of distinctively leftist sentiment.


1913 Alberta general election
Edward Michener, the official opposition leader of the Conservative Party, ended up capitalizing on anger toward the Sifton government. He would lead the largest opposition to date in Alberta history. The Liberals would win a comfortable majority of seats despite being almost even in the popular vote. The Socialist Party vote would collapse and lose their only seat as Charles M. O'Brien went down to defeat at the hands of a Conservative.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, The campaign
The writ of election was issued after a sitting of the house on the night of 25 March 1913. The premier dropped the election writ and dissolved the house after he ensured that the governments legislation on new electoral boundaries had been given Royal Assent. The new boundaries gave the Liberals an advantage, not only were they blatantly gerrymandered to their favour, but the opposition and even private citizens had a tough time figuring out what district they were in.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, The campaign
Day one of the campaign brought controversy as it was reported that Hotel organizers and Liquor establishments were being expected to donate generously to the Liberal campaign in order to get licence renewals for their establishments.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, The campaign
Arthur Sifton, his lieutenant Charles Cross and Liberal candidate Alexander Grant MacKay each won nominations in two electoral districts. The Calgary Herald (a Conservative newspaper) surmised that Sifton and Cross were so scared of the electorate they felt they might not win if they ran in just one district. It accused Premier Sifton of having little confidence in his ability to return his government to power.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, The campaign
The Liberal government in order to prevent possible vote splitting made promises of concessions to trade unions and labour organizations so that they would not publicly support leftist candidates.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, The campaign
The Conservative Party protested the snap election by filing a legal injunction in the Supreme Court, to prevent the election from being held on 17 April 1913. The grounds for the injunction were based on the date of nomination closure being in violation of statue. The writs were issued with nomination day being 10 April 1913. The Conservatives argued that this was 10 hours short of the 16 full days prescribed in the Elections Ordinance, and the election should be ruled invalid.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, Election issues
The big issues of the election centred on the Sifton government's lack of infrastructure building in Southern Alberta.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, Election issues
The ballooning Alberta debt which in a few years had gone from C$2 million to C$27 million was talked about often.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, Gerrymandered boundaries
Prior to the dropping of the writ the Sifton government forced a bill through the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The bill was entitled Bill 90: An Act to Amend an Act concerning members elected to the Legislative assembly of Alberta It was introduced in the assembly on 20 March 1913 and given Royal Assent on 25 March 1913.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, Gerrymandered boundaries
The bill increased the number of electoral districts in the province by 15. The boundaries did not contain equal population with one riding Clearwater only containing 74 people enumerated. Calgary Centre was the largest population wise with 20,000 people enumerated. The bill drawn with a line at the centre of the province gave 30 seats to the north half of the province with 26 seats in the south.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, Gerrymandered boundaries
The Conservative and Socialist opposition vigorously opposed the bill, but failed to pass any amendments. The bill was jammed through third reading in the 25 March legislative sitting and given Royal Assent that evening, just shy of the writ of elections being dropped.


1913 Alberta general election, Events leading to the election, Siftonism
The Liberal campaign was dubbed "Siftonism" inferring that Sifton was a disease that needed to be cleaned from Alberta. The media at the time picked up on that, and roasted the Liberal party. The Conservative party attacked the Liberals on the Railway Scandal and Lack of provincial infrastructure.


1913 Alberta general election, Results
The final result was the Liberal Party, under its new leader, Arthur L. Sifton, won a third term in office, defeating the Conservative Party, which was once again led by Edward Michener.


1913 Alberta general election, Results
The opposition received a much higher proportion of the votes and increased its seat count to 17 from 2, while the Liberals again got more votes than the Conservatives and won many of the new seats, allowing them to hang onto a majority.


1913 Alberta general election, Results
The votes were split almost evenly between the Conservatives and Liberals with a difference of 4 percent separating the two parties. In the Rocky Mountain constituency, the Socialist vote doubled but the vote for the Conservative went up even more, to make that candidate the winner, and the Socialists lost their only seat in the Assembly.


1913 Alberta general election, Results
Oddly, the Assembly did not have its full complement of MLAs after the election, as C.W. Cross was elected to two seats. When this happened elsewhere, such as Laurier's election as MP in both the North-West Territories (including part of what would be Alberta) and Quebec, the double winner resigned one of the seats. But Cross held both seats until the next general election.
