1921 Philadelphia Phillies season, Regular season, Mid-season arrests
On July 16, 1921, Phillies players Jimmy Smith, Cy Williams, Frank Bruggy, Goldie Rapp, and Cliff Lee were arrested while leaving the ballpark in Philadelphia. Smith was detained and charged with assault, however the other four were allowed to leave after talking to police. While driving away from the park, two pedestrians walked in front of Bruggy's car (which all the Phillies were riding in), and the Phillies allegedly yelled at the pair. This allegedly instigated an argument and Smith was charged with hitting one of the pedestrians several times.

1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team
The 1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team was an American football team that represented the University of Pittsburgh as an independent during the 1921 college football season. In its seventh season under head coach Pop Warner, the team compiled a 5–3–1 record and outscored all opponents by a total of 133 to 50. The team played its home games at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team
The 1921 West Virginia vs. Pittsburgh football game was the first college football game to be broadcast live on radio.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
After compiling a record of 42-3-3 in his previous six seasons, Glenn Warner returned for his seventh season as Pitt coach with some reservations about "Pittsburgh's long term commitment to remaining competitive, which to his thinking included building a much-needed stadium and continuing to recruit top-level talent for the football squad." The Stanford University coaching offer piqued his interest but he remained committed to his contract. The Athletic Department added two former Pitt players to the organization - Pat Herron was named assistant coach and Dr. J. Huber Wagner was appointed team physician.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
Tom Davies was elected captain for the 1921 season and Lawrence I. Klinestiver  was appointed student manager.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
On September 6 the 1921 Pitt football prospects gathered at Camp Hamilton for their two and a half week preseason training period. Since only four lettermen were lost from the 1920 squad – John McCrory, James Bond, William Edgar,  and Herbert McCracken - and with the strong contingent from the 1920 freshmen team moving up, Coach Warner was expected to place another strong team on the field. Walter Ritchie, 1904 Pitt quarterback, and Lone Star Dietz, the famous Carlisle Indian (1909-1912), assisted Coach Warner the opening week of camp.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
Ritchie was assistant coach at Illinois Wesleyan and Dietz was the Purdue head coach. Ollie DeVictor was the newly appointed trainer and H. L. Westerman, senior med-student, was in charge of first aid. New facilities installed at the camp included a nine hole golf course and tennis courts for the players enjoyment. The Panther squad broke camp on September 23 and returned to Pittsburgh. The next day they opened the 1921 season at Beaver Falls against the Covenantors of Geneva College.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
The graduate manager arranged a nine game schedule that was as hard as the 1920 schedule. Because Pitt used Forbes Field for its home games, the first two games were on the road – Geneva and Lafayette. The location of the third game depended on whether or not the Pirates won the pennant. If yes, the Panthers played at Cincinnati, if no, the Panthers played West Virginia at home. Nebraska replaced Georgia Tech in a home game.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
"The Westerners played good football against Penn State last fall and with new coach Fred Dawson are expected to put up a stern battle here. The team is one of the biggest in the country, virtually all the players being well over six feet tall in height. All in all, local fans should see some tip-top football in the home games, and there is no reason why the season should not be one of the biggest ever, so far as crowds go, as well as one of the most successful playing campaigns in the Panthers history."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
"As the Panthers defend the colors of the University of Pittsburgh on the football field this fall, their performances will be announced by radiophone. Through the co-operation of Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., one of the Westinghouse wireless sets will be installed in the press box and it will announce to the public every play executed by the blue and gold team and their opponents.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
This will afford the alumni and friends of the team who on account of living at a distance will not be able to attend the games at Forbes Field, an opportunity of having the game brought to their homes. The Westinghouse Co. has made wonderful strides in the wireless field ion broadcasting information, entertainments and athletics the past year. Last winter, when the Pitt basketball team played at Motor Square Garden, the results were received as far north as Toronto, Can., as far west as Nebraska, as far south as the Gulf of Mexico, and east to the Atlantic coast. In many instances the universities and colleges of the United States have installed wireless phones, making it possible for the students who cannot attend the games to assemble at the college and receive the results."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Geneva
For the third straight year the Panthers opened their football season in Beaver Falls, PA against the Covenanters of Geneva College. Geneva was led by fifth year coach Philip Henry Bridenbaugh. The Geneva lineup had Harold Krotzer, a former Panther, at fullback and Joseph Lynch, a Princeton transfer, at tackle. The Covenanters finished the season with a 5-3-1 record.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Geneva
The Panther squad, students and alumni traveled to Beaver Falls on the P. & L. E. railroad. Since school was not officially in session, the band was not in attendance. The Pitt squad left Pittsburgh at 10 a.m. and had a noon lunch at the Grand Hotel in Beaver Falls. Coach Warner planned to start his strongest eleven and hoped to play everyone. However, he cautioned the Panthers that the Geneva squad "are many percent stronger than in 1920."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Geneva
Coach Warner's words seemed prophetic as "the Covenanters put up a gritty battle and held the Panthers to one touchdown in the first half." Pitt backs Tom Davies and John Anderson were both injured early in the game. Late in the first quarter sophomore Charles "Poke" Williams raced 32-yards around right end for a touchdown the first time he touched the ball. Tom Holleran kicked the goal. The first half ended with the score 7-0 in Pitt's favor. Late in the third period, Nick Colonna scored from the five to pad the lead.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Geneva
Holleran was successful on the try for goal. Fullback Bill Robusch added two scores in the last quarter and Williams kicked both goals to close out the scoring. Pitt 28 - Geneva 0. All the touchdowns were scored by stars from the 1920 freshman team and twenty-four players received playing time.

The game was played in 15-minute quarters.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Lafayette
The second road trip was to Easton, PA to do battle with third-year coach Jock Sutherland's Lafayette Leopards. The team departed Pittsburgh Thursday evening at 8:05 and arrived in Harrisburg at 6:00 a.m. Friday for breakfast. They then hopped aboard the P.& R. Railroad car and arrived in Allentown around 9:30 a.m.  A worried Coach Warner held practice at the Lehigh Valley Country Club Friday afternoon. Saturday at noon the team made its way to Easton for the 3:00 o'clock kick-off. "After the game they will board their train at Phillipsburg, NJ, which is directly opposite Easton, and go thence to Trenton, where their sleeper will be awaiting them. They will arrive home at 8:12 Sunday morning."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Lafayette
Lafayette opened its season with a convincing 48-0 win over Muhlenberg College. Coach Sutherland had 16 returning lettermen, so "he can place the same team on the field this Saturday that gave Pitt such a hard tussle last year. With the advantage of playing on the home gridiron, Lafayette is hopeful of a victory." The Leopard line was anchored by consensus All-America Guard Frank Schwab.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Lafayette
Harry Keck of The Gazette Times was worried: "There is danger of a Pitt defeat in the meeting." Pitt was physically battered by Geneva. Starting halfback Anderson will be sidelined for three weeks. Captain Tom Davies may not play and guard Harry Seidelson will start under a handicap. "So, if Pitt has trouble winning from Lafayette Saturday, don't be surprised."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Lafayette
The Allentown Morning Call reported: "The bell on old South College rang out the tidings of Lafayette's greatest football triumph in the last decade yesterday afternoon when the Maroon team crushed mighty Pitt by the score of 6-0. Fifteen thousand fans jammed historic March Stadium to witness the battle between these two gridiron juggernauts which was decided by a lone touchdown by 'Bots' Brunner in the first quarter of play." Pitt quarterback Holleran fumbled the ball on the Pitt 24-yard line and Lafayette recovered.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Lafayette
The Leopards advanced the ball to the eight and proceeded to score on a triple pass from Gazella to Seasholtz to Brunner. The goal after was blocked. Lafayette 6 - Pitt 0. Pitt made 9 first downs but fumbled at inopportune moments. In the fourth quarter, Lafayette tried for a first down on fourth and one from their 18-yard line and failed. Pitt moved the ball to the 4-yard line on second down and then was penalized 5 yards back to the nine. On third down Hewitt gained four yards.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Lafayette
On fourth down a pass to the end zone fell incomplete. "It was mighty Pitt's third defeat in the last four years and the victory gave Dr. Jock Sutherland the distinction of beating his old mentor, Glenn Warner. The two coaches were the first to congratulate each other after the game." Lafayette finished the season unbeaten with a 9-0 record.

The Pittsburgh Press noted that there will be special streetcars in service from downtown and the east end to transport fans to the stadium. The 60 piece Pitt band under the direction of Director William Gregory will make its 1921 debut. Head cheerleader Clarence Smith will encourage the student body to use their megaphones. The big scoreboard will be in operation, the World Series score will be announced periodically and both teams will wear large numbers on their backs. The Pitt freshmen will play Slippery Rock Normal in a preliminary game at 1 o'clock and the varsity game will start about 3:00.

On game day The Press reported: "Spears' men are all in prime condition for today's game... The Panthers are badly crippled and will have at least three first-string men on the bench this afternoon -Capt. Tom Davies, John Anderson and 'Red' Seidelson." Charley Bowser will start at center but he was badly injured in Easton and may not be able to play the whole game.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, West Virginia
The New York Times praised the Mountaineers: "The West Virginia University football team showed a very much improved style of attack built up under the tuition of Fatty Spears when they lined up against Glenn Warner's Pittsburgh Panthers at Forbes Field today and, although the visitors were beaten by the score of 21-13, they gave one of the best exhibitions of straight football and spectacular plays ever seen in this city." The Mountaineers finished the season with a 5-4-1 record.

On game day Harry Keck of The Gazette Times noted: "For Pitt has an easy game on the books for this afternoon, one that will hardly draw a crowd large enough to pay expenses... In order to equalize things, Pitt will start the game with its real stars missing from the lineup. Capt . Stein, left end, Tom Davies, left halfback, and Tom Holleran, quarterback, have all been excused from the game and will take in the Tech - W. & J. battle, scouting the latter team for future reference."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Cincinnati
After the game Mr. Keck was not very complimentary: "The University of Pittsburgh's football game with the University of Cincinnati at Forbes Field yesterday afternoon was a joke – and it almost proved a disastrous one for Pitt. The Panthers, or, rather the Panther scrubs won 21 to 14."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Cincinnati

The 1921 Syracuse eleven led by second year coach Chick Meehan visited Forbes Field for the second time in the series short history. Syracuse arrived with an impressive 4-0 record and their defense, led by 1920 All-America tackle Bertrand Gulick, had not surrendered a point. The Pittsburgh Press noted that the Syracuse starting lineup was "in the pink of condition." Coach Meehan felt his team was stronger than the 1920 squad.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Syracuse
"The Syracuse players are fighters and Coach Warner evidently has another of his strong teams so the game ought to be one of the best of the season," said Coach Meehan, "We ought to keep our slate clean and prevent any scores being registered against us. If we can beat Pitt we ought not to have much trouble in winning the rest of the games on our schedule."


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Syracuse
The Pitt squad was healthy and according to Coach Warner "The team is right." Harry Keck of The Gazette Times wrote: "The splendid condition of the team has boosted its stock for the game immeasurably. One of the coaches said last night: 'We have our best possible combination in good condition for the first time this season and my personal opinion is that Pitt will win'."

The second period was scoreless as Davies missed two field goals and Anderson lost a fumble on the Syracuse 10-yard line. Early in the third quarter Charles Winterburn broke loose on a 55-yard jaunt and "shook off three tacklers for the Panthers third touchdown." Davies followed that with his third score on a two yard plunge to close out the scoring for the third quarter.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported: "The first big game on Penn's football schedule ended in a Red and Blue disaster on Franklin Field yesterday, when the huskies from the University of Pittsburgh rode rough-shod to a 28 to 0 victory. The Red and Blue warriors fought gallantly, but they were outclassed...Pitt's powerful line-smashing backs bowled over the Quakers as though they were pygmies, and there seemed no way in which the flashy Davies and Anderson could be checked in their dashes around the ends.


1921 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Penn
The game was not five minutes old when Pitt fought her way over Penn's goal for the first touchdown after an uninterrupted advance from her 35-yard line after the kick-off.

"Fit physically to the point of perfection," the Nebraska Cornhuskers arrived in the Smokey City to meet the Pitt Panthers for the first time on the gridiron. First year coach Fred Dawson's team had a 3-1 record, the only blemish being a 7 to 0 loss to 1920 National Champ Notre Dame, and the Huskers had outscored their opposition 140-7. The Pittsburgh sportswriters were impressed with the size of the Nebraska linemen. "There are 20 men on the squad who tip the beam at 190 pounds or more.

They lay claim to being one of the biggest football aggregations ever assembled on a college gridiron." End Clarence Swanson and guard John Pucelik both gained recognition on the 1921 Walter Camp All-America team. At the train station prior to departing Lincoln, Captain Swanson addressed the student crowd and promised: "We are going into the game to win and will win. The east will recognize us as the 'Fighting Nebraskans'."

The Panthers were physically at a disadvantage. Quarterback Tom Holleran and tackle John McLean did not start. Charles Bowser and Jack Sack, who were injured in the Penn game, were not fully recovered but were in the starting lineup. Coach Warner was not optimistic: "What I fear most is a letdown upon the part of Pitt. I have seen danger signals all week in the listless practice and lack of enthusiasm in the players...I would not be surprised if Pitt suffered a defeat."

Cy Sherman of The Lincoln Sunday Star gloated: "Touted as  the 'wonder' team of the eastern realm by virtue of recent triumphs over Syracuse and Penn, the Panthers met their masters in the mighty Cornhuskers, who outplayed, outmaneuvered and outfought the proteges of Coach Glenn Warner whipping them by a much more decisive margin than is indicated by the final count of 10 to 0." Pitt gained 77 yards from scrimmage made three first downs and did not complete a pass. The Huskers gained 308 yards, earned thirteen first downs and gained 76 yards on five pass completions.

The Washington, PA football fanatics made their annual pilgrimage to the city of Pittsburgh on the November 12 weekend to watch the Pitt vs. W. & J. football game. "While W. & J. will be the 'underdog' in the annual clash, the supporters of the Presidents will be at Forbes Field in the same numbers as in former years filled with the hope that their favorites will be able to arise to the occasion and surprise Warner and his band of Panthers."

"The Red and Black undergrads held a rousing mass rally on the eve of the game, and gave their heroes a terrific sendoff. Coach Neale remarked, 'This is the best exhibition of real college spirit I have ever witnessed. If the team can't fight now, they never will be able to fight.

"The lion of Nittany Mountain, roving the country, seeking whom it might devour, stalked into the rain-soaked lair of the Panther of Pater Pitt this Thanksgiving Day. As the king of the beasts roared its defiance to the football world, the feline of 'Pop' Warner hurled itself upon the invader. In a sea of mud the monarchs of the jungle snarled, tore and ripped at each other, and at the end of an hour of furious action neither had been able to overcome the other. Penn State was unable to score, and so was Pitt, but that grim battle, fought in mire ankle deep, will never be forgotten by the 34,000 football mad fans who braved the elements to seek a seat in the jammed stands."

The 5-3-1 record of the 1921 Panthers was easily the worst in the Warner era. Warner accepted much of the responsibility.  " 'I may say that I am to blame more than anyone else,' he told reporters. ' I realize I have become a little careless. We have been winning all along since I came to Pittsburgh. I have not maintained the same discipline and training as in the past. I have been inclined to let the loose ends take care of themselves, to permit players considerable freedom off the field. But believe me, I am going to get down to brass tacks next year and it will be a different story'."

This quake was preceded by several weeks of smaller quakes. A major aftershock occurred on the same day at approximately 7:30 PM MT, and a second major aftershock occurred on Saturday, 1 October at approximately 8:32 AM MT.


1921 Sevier Valley earthquake, Earthquake, Magnitude and intensity
The initial quake was a Mw6.3 and an intensity of VIII ("Severe"). The official USGS report in their historical earthquakes list stated a magnitude of Mw5.2 and an intensity of VIII ("Severe"). An official USGS report published in 1988 assigned the modified magnitude of Mw6.3. It was felt in an area of between 2,500 square kilometres (970 sq mi) and 5,100 square kilometres (2,000 sq mi), which is considered a small area for a quake of this size. The farthest distance from the epicenter for the felt area was 25 miles (40 km). The quake lasted several seconds.


1921 Sevier Valley earthquake, Earthquake, Magnitude and intensity
The first major aftershock was a Mw5.7 and an intensity of VII ("Very Strong"). The epicenter was at the same location as the initial quake, and the felt area was similar. The second major aftershock was the same magnitude and intensity as the initial quake, was in the same location, and felt in a similarly sized area. This quake was reported as "quick and short as the detonation of a cannon". The quakes were felt as far north as Salina and as far south as Marysvale.

The town of Elsinore, reported sunken foundations, damaged roofs from collapsing chimneys and brick walls, and brick, adobe, and stone buildings were significantly damaged. More than half of the residences in the town were seriously damaged, a dozen were damaged enough to be condemned, and most residences received some cracking and plaster damage. The newly built schoolhouse had walls collapse and a damaged roof, causing it to have to be rebuilt. Damage in Monroe included collapsed pipe trenches, cracked buildings, and the hot springs at the town turned "blood red" from iron oxide. Large boulders were dislodged and some landslides were reported in canyons near Monroe.


1921 Sevier Valley earthquake, Destruction
The first major aftershock—in the evening on the same day—did further damage to structures, especially those already affected by the primary quake. Structures in Monroe received significantly more damage from this aftershock. Damage was also reported in Richfield.


1921 Sevier Valley earthquake, Destruction
On 1 October, the second major aftershock destroyed many of the damaged buildings, including a paint store in Elsinore. It also caused new damage to undamaged buildings, and caused previously-damaged buildings to be completely destroyed. More large boulders were dislodged and additional landslides were caused in various canyons near the affected towns. Monroe was especially hard hit, with almost all chimneys being destroyed and many buildings being damaged beyond repair. A man seated high on a bank of a river was thrown down to the edge of the river, the hot springs were discolored by iron oxide again, and the Monroe City Hall was "shattered".

1921 Swedish general election
Early general elections were held in Sweden between 10 and 26 September 1921. In the first elections held under universal suffrage, the Swedish Social Democratic Party remained the largest party, winning 93 of the 230 seats in the Second Chamber of the Riksdag. Party leader Hjalmar Branting formed his second government.


1921 Swedish general election, Background
Before the elections in 1921, the Social Democratic Left Party of Sweden accepted Lenin's April Theses. It was renamed the Communist Party of Sweden, whilst a breakaway faction of some 6,000 socialists who had been excluded by the communists as non-revolutionary elements kept the previous name.


1921 Swedish general election, Electoral system
In 1921, a universal and equal suffrage was introduced for men and women alike, and the Riksdag finally achieved a system of democratic representation for all citizens who were at least 23 years old on election day. Nevertheless, it was still possible, even after 1921, to exclude certain groups from the right to vote. An example was individuals who had been declared incapable of managing their own affairs by a court of law. This limitation of the franchise disappeared only in 1989 when the Riksdag abolished incapacitation.


1921 Swedish general election, Electoral system
It signified the five first women MPS to be elected to the Swedish Parliament after the women suffrage of 1919, with Kerstin Hesselgren in the Upper chamber, and Nelly Thüring (Social Democrat), Agda Östlund (Social Democrat) Elisabeth Tamm (liberal) and Bertha Wellin (Conservative) in the Lower chamber.


1921 Swedish general election, Electoral system
Alongside the universal franchise reform, a parliamentary system of government developed and gained acceptance, implying that the government requires the Riksdag's confidence and support for all major decisions. As of 1921, all major treaties with foreign states had to be approved by the Riksdag, and the two chambers of the Riksdag now elected their own Speakers along with two deputy speakers each.


1921 Swedish general election, Aftermath
As a result of the election Prime Minister Oscar von Sydow resigned and was replaced by Hjalmar Branting who also became Foreign Minister of Sweden. Although the non-socialist parties held a majority in the second chamber, Branting was able to hold office through being the largest party and reaching cross-ideological consensus in the chamber. The centre-right majority took over the governing in 1923 under Ernst Trygger following a parliamentary loss for the Social Democrats over unemployment protection.


1921 Swiss referendums
Four referendums were held in Switzerland during 1921. The first two were held on 30 January on holding referendums on treaties that would be valid for at least 15 years and on abolishing the military judiciary. The treaty proposal was approved, whilst the abolishment of the military judiciary was rejected. The third and fourth were held on 22 May on add articles 37bis and 37ter on road traffic and aviation to the constitution, and on only adding article 37ter on aviation. Both were approved.


1921 Swiss referendums, Background
The referendums on treaties and the military judiciary were both popular initiatives, whilst the two on amending the constitution were both mandatory referendums. Both types required a double majority; a majority of the popular vote and majority of the cantons. The decision of each canton was based on the vote in that canton. Full cantons counted as one vote, whilst half cantons counted as half.
