During this era, faculty members opposed players missing classes for road games. Furthermore, on-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914-15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court.


1923–24 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the team's travel expenses and limiting Georgetown to a very limited road schedule between the 1918-19 and 1926-27 seasons – often only to an annual trip to Annapolis, Maryland, to play at Navy and sometimes a single trip to New York or Pennsylvania to play schools there – averaging no more than three road games a year in order to keep travel expenses and missed classes to a minimum. The 1923-24 squad did not even make a New York or Pennsylvania trip; other than a journey across town to play at George Washington, it traveled only to Annapolis to play Navy during the season. One of its scheduled games was cancelled, and it played only nine games.


1923–24 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Georgetown defeated crosstown rival George Washington twice this season, culminating in a one-sided 54-8 win at Ryan Gymnasium, Georgetown's 12th straight win there against George Washington dating back to 1915.

1923–24 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
A loss to Carson-Newman College on February 2, 1924, finally brought to an end a 52-game home winning streak at Ryan Gymnasium for the Hoyas dating back to a victory against Bucknell on the last day of the 1916-17 season. The streak had included notable victories over top-rated teams such as Georgia Tech, Kentucky, and North Carolina.

Though he is credited with coaching the 1923–24 team, William Henry Claflin Jr. left Harvard after 1923 and was replaced by his predecessor for one season. Alfred Winsor faced a tough task in trying to implement his defensive structure with college hockey now playing a 6-on-6 format rather than the 7-on-7 that saw him win seven Intercollegiate Championships. After early season success, the team faced a tough challenge from visiting Canadian colleges and lost all three matches, though the defense did perform well. After winning their next three intercollegiate games Harvard had hopes of winning another championship, but their campaign took a hit when they were stymied by Yale in early February.

1923–24 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
After finishing 3rd the previous season and winning the FA Cup the season before, some thought that a championship under Herbert Chapman wasn't impossible. The season would see Town reach the pinnacle of football excellence and win the 1st Division.

This was done with Town only having 5 different scorers all season; George Brown with 8, George Cook with 9, Clem Stephenson with 11, Billy Smith with 13 and Charlie Wilson top-scoring with 18 league goals. (Billy Johnston did score an FA Cup goal). The title went down to the last match and Town's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest giving Town their title by goal average.

1923–24 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
Penn's season began normally, with a slew of new players trying out for the squad. Despite much more practice time entering this season than the year before, coach Powers wasn't too optimistic about the team's first game and results bore that out. a 1–4 loss to began didn't harm the team too much as it was against an amateur team and wouldn't impair their collegiate ranking. After some lineup changes, the Quakers travelled up to West Point and won their first game despite very poor ice conditions. After a match with Lafayette was canceled, the spot was filled by a team composed of Princeton alumni who resided in and around Philadelphia. The game proved to be an even match and ended in a tie., which led the Quakers into their normal intercollegiate season with a .500 record.


1923–24 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
The first big test for the team came against Yale and the Quakers were completely outmatched. Yale had several advantages in the game, including playing their 14th game of the season, but the biggest was how the Bulldogs used the closeness of the boards to the net and shot pucks off of the back wall and had them rebound out in front of the goal. Exams caused the team's next game to be played in early February and the time off didn't appear to help the squad.


1923–24 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
The next game, a few days later, also ended in a loss but the team nearly managed to overcome an early deficit and lead to some hope for the near future. The rematch with Hamilton happened at the end of the month and, despite Warner returning from a shoulder injury, the Quakers could only earn a tie with the Continentals. On a positive note, the game did attract 2,000 spectators so even in the midst of a poor season the team could still command a good-sized crowd.


1923–24 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
The Quakers' season ended after a 1–5 loss to Dartmouth but worse news was soon to come. Due to financial constraints, the team was discontinued after the 1924 season and wouldn't play again for four years.

1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season
The 1923–24 season was Port Vale's fifth consecutive season of football (18th overall) in the English Football League. Another season of slow and steady progress saw the club finish one point, and one place higher than the previous campaign. The club still lacked a regular goalscorer since selling Bobby Blood, however Wilf Kirkham made his debut, and goals came from all across the team. A still-standing club record was set on 5 April 1924, when Tom Holford played against Derby County at the age of 46.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season
The most notable incident in the campaign was the death of Tom Butler on 11 November 1923; he died from complications of a broken arm that he picked up whilst playing for the club.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
To strengthen the side, pre-season signings included: Stalybridge Celtic goalkeeper Tommy Lonsdale; Macclesfield Town 'penalty king' right-back Jack Maddock; Leeds United tough-tackling half-back Alf Dark; Bolton Wanderers winger Jack Lowe; Clyde's reliable forward Fred Howard; and Exeter City goal machine Harold Crockford. The kit for the season was picked – red jerseys with white shorts.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
The season started positively, with two wins recorded, as well as a 14,000 home crowd. However a run of one point won in five games saw the club slump down the table. The arrival of Ireland international Louis Bookman for £250 from Luton Town couldn't reverse the side's fortunes. Their stats by the end of October were: played twelve, lost eight, failed to score in six. This miserable run included two defeats inflicted by rivals Stoke – the first time they had done the double over Vale in the league. Crockford agreed to have his contract cancelled, and talks began to try to re-sign Billy Briscoe. A young Wilf Kirkham made his debut against Leeds United, but failed to make much of an impact.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
Their rotten form seemed to have been turned around when the "Valiants" earned a 1–1 draw with Clapton Orient on 3 November 1923. Tom Butler scored the goal, yet paid the ultimate price for his efforts. Near the end of the match he suffered a compound fracture in his left arm, and complications set in whilst he was at Hackney Hospital, causing septic poisoning; he died of lockjaw on 11 November. The club paid his widow the rest of his wages, and Stoke and numerous other clubs donated generously to provide the widow with a £700 benefit fund.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
Back to football, and the club signed 41-year-old former England international Arthur Bridgett, despite the fact that he had spent several years in retirement. The winger impressed, and scored within ninety seconds of his debut. Later in the year Peter Pursell returned to the field for the first time in the season following an injury, and was like a new signing. Despite all this, Vale still suffered, and a heavy defeat at Old Trafford saw them stuck at the foot of the table. Turning to 1924, the Vale managed a run of six games unbeaten, and Briscoe was finally given his pay rise and so was re-signed from Congleton Town.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
Despite Blackpool putting twelve past the Vale defence, the latter half of the season saw a massive improvement, as they lost just 6 of the 22 games. Briscoe and Kirkham provided the goals necessary to lift the club out of the relegation zone. On 5 April 1924, Tom Holford played against Derby County at the age of 46 – still a club record.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
At the end of season, Vale finished in sixteenth place with 38 points, making it two seasons in a row in which the club bettered their previous season tally by one point and one place. Performing poorly at home, only bottom place Bristol City lost more home games, and only second-bottom Nelson conceded more at home. Vale were five points clear of relegation, but thirteen points off a promotion place.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Second Division
Briscoe, Page, Kirkham, and Bridgett were the major goalscorers. Full -back Len Birks was an ever-present, and Tommy Lonsdale, Jack Hampson, and Jack Lowe were also key first team players. As well as the debut of Kirkham, Roger Jones also made his debut, starting his fourteen-year association with the club. At the end of the season the club let Peter Pursell leave for Wigan Borough, whereas Lonsdale and Hampson both retired due to injury.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Finances
Finances were once again worrying for the club and its supporters. A greatly reduced wage bill of £7,900 still necessitated fund raising activities from fans to keep the club alive. Arthur Prince was also sold to Sheffield Wednesday to raise cash. Season ticket prices ranged from £2 6s. 6d. to £3, 6s. 6d.


1923–24 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Cup competitions

Having finished in a mid-table position the previous season, the club made progress towards their goal of promotion to the First Division by finishing fifth in the second flight in 1923–24. The campaign started off relatively poorly, as the club won just two of their opening ten fixtures and found themselves around the middle of the table again.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season
However, the team's performances began to improve, and by the middle of January they had made it to the top five in the division. With tough competition at the higher end of the Second Division, Southampton continued to drop points in key matches and finished the season in fifth place with 17 wins, 14 draws and 11 losses.

1923–24 Southampton F.C. season
The 1923–24 season was Southampton's last with chairman Tankerville Chamberlayne, who died on 17 May 1924, just two weeks after the last league game of the season. It was also the first campaign in almost 30 years without Ernest Arnfield in the position of secretary, after he left the club in August 1923 and his role was given to George Goss. Arnfield remained involved with the club, however, as he was later given a role as a member of the club's executive board. The season was also the club's last full campaign with manager Jimmy McIntyre, who would later leave partway through the following season (his sixth with the club) in December 1924.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Background and transfers
Southampton manager Jimmy McIntyre bought and sold several players before the start of the 1923–24 season. One of the first departures during the summer was inside-forward John Cooper, who returned to his former club Darlaston after having made just five league appearances with the Saints during two seasons. Also leaving was outside-left Joe Clark, who was sold to Third Division North side Rochdale after losing his place in the first team to Len Andrews late the previous season.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Background and transfers
Two players were brought in to take Clark's place – Elias MacDonald from Burton All Saints in May, and Jimmy Carr from Reading in June. Also arriving in the summer were George Harkus, a half-back who joined from First Division side Aston Villa for £250, and Harold Pearson, a forward who was transferred from Brierley Hill Alliance in the Birmingham & District League. Half-back Alex Christie also left for Norwich City after just one season at the club, while Jack Elkes was sold to Tottenham Hotspur for a club record fee of £1,050.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Background and transfers
Several more players were added to the squad during the season. Inside-forward Jock Salter joined as an amateur in September 1923, signing professional terms the following month. The club signed another amateur player in November, bringing in outside-forward Stan Cribb from local side Gosport Athletic, although he would not turn professional until the following season. The same month, winger Bill Henderson was signed for a fee of £500 from Luton Town after Sammy Meston – one of the club's two regular outside-rights – broke his leg during a match against Bristol City on 6 October.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Background and transfers
Before the end of the calendar year, inside-left Cliff Price was transferred from Third Division North club Halifax Town. The club sold two more players in the new year. In January, Herbert Lock left for Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic, having last played in May. The next month, Henry Johnson also left The Dell to join top-flight side Queens Park Rangers, after scoring three goals in eleven appearances during the season so far.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Second Division
Southampton's second season in the Second Division of the Football League started poorly, as the club immediately found themselves at the bottom of the league table following two 1–0 losses away to Bury and Manchester United, both of whom finished in the top six of the division the previous year. The team's form quickly improved, however, as they beat Bury in the return fixture 3–0 and went on a seven-game unbeaten run to move up to the top five in the league table.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Second Division
Despite this run of form, which also included a 3–0 win at home to The Wednesday, Southampton's main goal threat Bill Rawlings did not score until October, when he picked up the only goal in a 1–0 win over recently promoted Bristol City; during this period, recent signing Harold Pearson – who had replaced Rawlings in the side after the first six games of the campaign – was the club's top scorer with three goals. By the end of the year, Southampton were firmly placed in the First Division promotion race as they sat in sixth place in the Second Division table.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Second Division
The club picked up their biggest win of the season on 19 January 1924, when they beat Barnsley (who had finished two places above them the previous season) 6–0 at The Dell. Bill Rawlings picked up half of the goals, with Henry Johnson (twice) and Arthur Dominy also registering on the scoresheet. The result saw the Saints move up to fifth in the league table for the first time since September.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Second Division
However, during February and March the team's results began to deteriorate, including two losses at the hands of league leaders Leeds United; club historians attributed this dip to the number of replays required in the team's FA Cup run, which also had an effect on the number of injuries in the side. With ten games remaining, Southampton had dropped to 13th in the table, two places lower than they had finished in 1922–23. Following their elimination from the FA Cup, the team's performances began to improve drastically. Starting from 22 March 1924, they went on an unbeaten run until the end of season, which included six wins.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Second Division
The club moved back up to the top ten with a 1–0 win over fellow mid-table side Leicester City, the only goal scored by right-back Tom Parker, and moved up to seventh two weeks later when they beat Clapton Orient 5–0 thanks to goals from Rawlings (who scored his second hat-trick of the season), Dominy and Parker. Despite taking three points each from the games against Stockport County and Crystal Palace, the Saints were unable to move above seventh place in the table, as the sides above them continued to pick up wins.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Second Division
Finally they did so in the last two games of the season against Oldham Athletic, both of which they won 3–2. Rawlings scored all three in the first game – at Boundary Park – to bring his hat-trick tally to three for the season, and scored a final goal in the return game at The Dell to bring his league total for the year to 19; Dominy and Cliff Price scored the other two. Southampton finished the season in fifth place with 17 wins, 14 draws and 11 losses, three points away from the second promotion place.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, FA Cup
Southampton entered the 1923–24 FA Cup in the first round against First Division club Chelsea, who they had knocked out in the second round of the previous year's tournament. The hosts initially led at Stamford Bridge thanks to a "brilliant individual goal" from Andrew Wilson, who had joined the London club from Middlesbrough for a British transfer record fee of £6,000 at the beginning of the season, but a goal from Arthur Dominy forced a replay at The Dell four days later.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, FA Cup
The Saints won the replay 2–0, with Dominy scoring from a Bill Turner free-kick and Bill Rawlings converting after a setup by Bill Henderson. In the second round, Southampton beat fellow Second Division side Blackpool 3–1 at The Dell, with a goal each from Rawlings, Dominy and Cliff Price sending them through to the third round.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, FA Cup
The third round of the tournament on 23 February 1924 saw Southampton hosting reigning First Division league champions Liverpool, who had eliminated the previous season's cup winners Bolton Wanderers in the second round. The game ended in a goalless draw, forcing a replay at Liverpool's home Anfield four days later. Southampton played much of the game with ten players, after left-back Fred Titmuss suffered a "freak injury" in which a blood vessel in his eyeball was burst by a loose shoelace, and was forced to be taken off amid fear of permanent eye damage. The hosts opened the scoring shortly after half-time courtesy of Harry Chambers, but the ten men of Southampton prevented conceding more until six minutes from the end, when Dick Forshaw doubled his side's lead and secured the result.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Other matches
Outside of the league and the FA Cup, Southampton played five additional first-team matches during the 1923–24 season. The first was a friendly match against local rivals Portsmouth at The Dell on 24 November 1923. A benefit for former player Bert Lee, who was now a trainer at the club, the match ended in a 2–0 win for Pompey thanks to two goals by Willie Haines – one in the first half as the result of "some good combined work by the Pompey front line", and one in the second after the centre-forward "got right through on his own". A writer for the Football Mail reporting on the game observed that Portsmouth's work as a team featured "always more method" than that of Southampton. Two more friendlies also ended in losses – both against amateur club Corinthian in December.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Other matches
Southampton ended their season with two more fixtures against Portsmouth. The first took place on 5 May 1924 and was for the second Rowland Hospital Cup. Portsmouth, having just won their first Third Division South championship, travelled to The Dell "anxious to demonstrate that they [were] capable of beating a Second Division side", according to a reporter for the Football Echo. The visitors took an advantage, as Stephen Dearn and Willie Haines put Pompey 2–1 up, with Bill Rawlings scoring in between the goals for the hosts.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Other matches
After losing Sammy Meston and Tom Parker, the Saints went 3–1 down thanks to a second goal from Haines, before Rawlings scored a second as well. Pompey made it three wins out of three against Southampton two days later, when they also beat them at Fratton Park to win the Hampshire Benevolent Cup. William Beedie scored early to give the advantage to the hosts, who dominated the remainder of the game and scored a second through Haines on 60 minutes.


1923–24 Southampton F.C. season, Player details
Southampton manager Jimmy McIntyre used 24 different players during the 1923–24 season, ten of whom scored during the campaign.

1923–24 Stoke F.C. season
With Stoke back in the Second Division after their short stay in the First and without a manager the supporters questioned what the future held for the club. Tom Mather was appointed as the club's new manager in October 1923 and it would start a run of consistency as from 1923 to 1976 Stoke had just four managers. Mather led the club to sixth position in the table with just two wins in their last 12 matches costing Stoke a promotion challenge. At the end of the season Mather decided to sell a number of players including fans favourites Jimmy Broad, Tommy Broad and Billy Tempest; some players not asked to re-sign smashed up the offices at the Victoria Ground and caused a considerable amount of damage.

There was little money available for new players, and when former Southend United boss Tom Mather, a Lancastrian from Chorley, was given the managerial position in October, he quickly set about restoring the team's fortunes. Mather, who had been assistant manager at both Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers before becoming manager at Burnden Park during World War I, certainly consolidated the club and a final league finish of 6th was a decent outcome and would give Mather a platform to build on.
