1925 Oldham by-election
The Oldham by-election, 1925 was a by-election held on 24 June 1925 for the House of Commons constituency of Oldham. Oldham was at that time a two-member constituency. The other seat was held by the Unionist Duff Cooper.


1925 Oldham by-election, Vacancy
The election was triggered by the resignation of the sitting Liberal MP, Edward Grigg, a former private secretary to David Lloyd George,  on appointment to be Governor of Kenya.


1925 Oldham by-election, Candidates, Liberals
The Liberals selected William Wiggins, a 54-year-old cotton manufacturer and former Mayor of Middleton in Lancashire as their candidate. Wiggins had previously contested Oldham as a Liberal. He fought the 1923 general election alongside Grigg but came third and was not elected.


1925 Oldham by-election, Candidates, Labour
Labour were keen to fight the by-election. They had held one of the Oldham seats from 1922 to 1924 when their MP, William Tout, lost to Duff Cooper and they re-selected Tout for the by-election contest.


1925 Oldham by-election, Candidates, Unionists
At the 1924 general election the Labour Party had for the first time stood two candidates in Oldham. The response from Unionists and the Liberals was to put up only one candidate each to avoid splitting the vote against what was widely seen as a common socialist enemy. Edward Grigg openly allied with the Unionists in what has been described as a ‘crusade against Labour’. The Unionists therefore had to decide whether to chance splitting the anti-Labour vote at the by-election by running their own candidate in opposition to Wiggins and they chose not to run the risk .


1925 Oldham by-election, Candidates, Unionist-Liberal pact?
The Liberals and the Unionists insisted that no formal pact existed between them to stand only one candidate from each party in the two-member Oldham seat. But there clearly was a tacit understanding between them.


1925 Oldham by-election, Candidates, Unionist-Liberal pact?
In deciding not to run a candidate at the by-election, the Oldham Unionists explained that “ ... in view of the attitude adopted by our party at the last election, we do not propose to nominate candidate at the forthcoming [by]-election ... ”  There was a formal, written, arrangement between the parties concerning the standing of rival candidates in local elections and it is evident that Grigg and Cooper received a large measure of support from each other’s core supporters.


1925 Oldham by-election, Candidates, Unionist-Liberal pact?
When Wiggins’ nomination papers were submitted it was noted that all his sponsors were known Liberals. They included Father Ivory of St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and a number of Irish assenters. The Catholic community remained a strong source of support for the Liberal Party throughout this campaign. They were said to be susceptible to appeals against socialism because of the dangers inherent under a socialist regime to special religious interests. The Liberals made use of a statement by Cardinal Bourne condemning class warfare in their campaign literature.


1925 Oldham by-election, Candidates, Unionist-Liberal pact?
At this stage the Unionists were careful not to be formally associated with Wiggins’ nomination or to say publicly how they would advise their supporters to vote but leading local Unionists were making no secret of their belief that normally Unionist voters would, in the circumstances of this by-election, support Wiggins as the anti-socialist candidate. Once the election was under way however the Unionists did issue a manifesto urging their supporters to give their unstinting support to the Liberal candidate.


1925 Oldham by-election, Issues, Wiggins
Wiggins said before the election writ was issued that he wished to make finance, particularly the government’s duties on silk, a central point of his campaign. This was consistent with his declared position as a Free Trader but was also designed to help the Oldham Unionist Association with their decision on whether to run a candidate or not. Like Wiggins, many local Unionists were prominent in the cotton trade and were against having to pay duties on silk and artificial silk. He also told the Oldham Liberals that he would vote against any proposed expansion of the Safeguarding of Industries Act another pledge which he knew would find support amongst both traditional Liberals and free trade Unionists.


1925 Oldham by-election, Issues, Wiggins
For Wiggins however, the essential battleground of the election was the struggle between what he and the Unionists regarded as Constitutional government and socialism. Wiggins argued that Tout believed in the nationalisation of railways, mines and land, policies which went far beyond any Liberal approach and which amounted to socialism. David Lloyd George speaking in support of Wiggins at Oldham on 20 June 1925 said that socialism was the plain issue in the election.


1925 Oldham by-election, Issues, Wiggins
He pointed out that when in Parliament, Tout had voted for the nationalisation of all mills, factories and every shop of every description, including the co-operative stores. Now he had added land, mines and railways. The issue for Oldham, said Lloyd George, was whether they were in favour of taking all private property and the means of production and distribution and running it as a great department of state.


1925 Oldham by-election, Issues, Tout
Tout’s job as an opposition candidate was to attack the government of Stanley Baldwin, as he did for example on the issue of the Gold Standardand to point out to the electorate the inconsistency in Wiggins’ position as a Liberal fighting side by side with the Unionist Party yet seeking to go into opposition if elected. There was a concerted effort by Tout and other Labour politicians supporting him to make clear the contradictions in Wiggins’ position as a Free Trader reliant on the votes of supporters of a Unionist government which generally favoured tariff reform. They did their best to make Wiggins' honesty and sincerity an election issue. Labour also urged working class voters to support the industrial and economic policies of the party to bring about positive and material improvements in their working conditions and social surroundings.


1925 Oldham by-election, Party expectations
The Liberals would have hoped that the 36,761 votes polled by Grigg in 1924 would pass on to Wiggins in a two-party contest with Labour. Tout's poll of 23,623 in 1924 would be unlikely to seriously challenge the Liberals. The notional Liberal v Labour result in 1924, in terms of a percentage poll was Liberal 60.9 and Labour 39.1.


1925 Oldham by-election, Result
The result was a Liberal hold but by a reduced majority over that obtained at the previous general election. The turn out was 66% as opposed to 83% in 1924. Compared to the notional 1924 percentage, this result was a good one for the Labour Party;

1925 Open Championship
The 1925 Open Championship was the 60th Open Championship, held 25–26 June at Prestwick Golf Club in Prestwick, South Ayrshire, Scotland. In the final Open at Prestwick, Jim Barnes captured his only Open title, one stroke ahead of runners-up Ted Ray and Archie Compston. It was Barnes' fourth and final major title; he won the first two PGA Championships in 1916 and 1919, and the U.S. Open in 1921.


1925 Open Championship
Qualifying took place on 22–23 June 1925. Qualification took place at Troon with 18 holes on the Old Course and 18 holes the Portland Course. The top 80 and ties qualified. The qualifying score was 158 and 83 players qualified. Irishman Moses O'Neill led the qualifiers on 146.


1925 Open Championship
Born and raised in Cornwall, England, Barnes opened with a course record 70 to take a four stroke lead as the course was dry and fast. In the second round, Macdonald Smith carded a new course record 69 for the lead at 145,  two shots ahead of Barnes, who only managed a 77. Smith followed with a 76 in the third round on Friday morning and took a five-shot lead over Barnes and Compston into the final round. Barnes finished his round early and posted a 74 for a 300 total.


1925 Open Championship
Beginning his round after Barnes had already finished his, Smith knew that a round of 78 would win him the championship. But after starting with a 4-3 on the first two holes, he dropped three shots on the next three holes. Smith took a 6 at the 7th and 8th and went out in 42. He found a bunker on the 11th and took a 5, and shot another 6 on the 15th. Smith finished the round with an 82 and a 303 total, good enough only for fourth place. Ted Ray, the 1912 champion, finished tied for second with Compston at 301.


1925 Open Championship
Smith's problems in the final round were possibly due to the huge gallery that followed him. Anticipating that he would easily win, 10,000 spectators crowded around Smith, more than the course layout or tournament stewards could handle. Ray's runner-up finish was his final top-ten in a major, as was John Henry Taylor's sixth place showing. Smith never won a major, but was runner-up on three occasions.


1925 Open Championship
This was the last of the 24 Opens played at Prestwick, which hosted the first twelve. It was replaced by adjacent Troon Golf Club ("Royal Troon" since 1978) as the Open venue for southwestern Scotland. Turnberry was added to the rota in 1977, southwest of Prestwick.


1925 Open Championship
It was the last Open scheduled for just two days, at 36 holes each. In 1926, the first two rounds were on Wednesday and Thursday, and following a 36-hole cut, the final two rounds were played on Friday. This format was continued through 1965.

“Although the results of Pitt's 1924 season were one loss less than those of the previous season, many of the followers of the team were bitterly disappointed. People always seem to expect wonders immediately from a new man in a new job, and these fans were not exceptions in the case of Sutherland. The wolves began to howl, and some very unfavorable comments were made. Jock did not mind the criticisms hurled at him half as much as the remarks about his boys. He was hurt by the things said about his players, whom he defended at every turn, insisting that they had done the best they could.”

“The pressure for success had to be felt by the coaching staff as 1925 would also mark the opening of the school's new magnificent $2.1 million stadium. The stadium had an original capacity of 69,400. The problem with the facility was the original budget called for the stadium to be constructed for almost half that amount, $1.1 million.

Chancellor Bowman was incensed at the increased debt that had occurred and he named an athletic director...Don Harrison, to oversee the department and rein in an out-of-control football program.”  The Panthers scheduled high-level opponents and recruited top-notch talent by offering an average of $55.00 a month plus tuition and books. “In essence they were paying players to play college football, a situation that as years went on would cause the university major issues. The strategy worked incredibly, better than probably Sutherland and Harrison could have hoped.”

In early April, Coach Sutherland ran his second spring football practice session. “The spring practice was productive of much good and everyone was pleased with the fine spirit the men displayed and the way they entered into the practice work. Coach Sutherland urged all the candidates to get in some sort of athletic work for the rest of the year and many will be out for the track team.”

“The University of Pittsburgh football squad formally opened its most important season – stadium year – at Camp Hamilton this afternoon (August 31) when 84 men, players, managers and coaches arrived tonight for a late dinner in camp. The squad traveled in a special car over the Pennsylvania lines to Johnstown, rode to Windber on a chartered street car, then to this site in 20 automobiles donated by the townspeople.” Coach Sutherland's second preseason camp workouts ended on Saturday, September 19, so the squad could return to Pittsburgh for the start of classes on Monday.

"The contractors on the stadium have completed their work, up to schedule. The big structure is all spick and span, and next Saturday it is the hope of the management that it will be crowded to the exits.”  The stadium (seventh largest in the country) is immense – it covers more than 9 acres of area; it is 791 feet long and 617 feet wide and it has 36 sections for seating with 55 rows of seats (17 miles of seats). “In construction 2,200 tons of structural steel, 1,000 tons of reinforcing steel, and 20,000 cubic yards of concrete were used.”  The stadium will also be used by the baseball, basketball, track, and tennis teams.


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Lee
The Pitt  Panthers welcomed the Washington & Lee Generals to inaugurate their new stadium. This was the only time the schools met on the gridiron. James DeHart, a 4-sport letter winner at Pitt and teammate of Coach Sutherland, was in his fourth year at the helm of the Generals. His 3-year record was a respectable 17-8-3. The Generals were without their starting end, captain James K. Thomas, their starting tackle, Tex Tilson, and backfield ace, Palmer, due to injuries.


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Lee
The Pittsburgh Post reported that Pitt would have three new faces in the starting lineup. Frank Benedict, last year's backup to Marsh Johnson at center, and two rookies from the freshmen team, Andrew Salata at tackle and Gilbert “Gibby” Welch at halfback were penciled in for the first game. "Usually secretive,  melancholy and dejected, Coach Jock Sutherland, starting his second year in charge of the alma mater, was no different yesterday. With a veteran team of nine, and strengthened by the acquisition of Salata and Welch, last year's freshmen stars, (he) was hopeful of victory, but rather uncertain as to how his team would act, despite the grilling drills of the past few weeks."

Regis M. Welch of The Pittsburgh Post reported: "Speedy, flashy, strong in spots, taking advantage of scoring breaks, then making enough mistakes to show its own immaturity, the Pitt Panther, romping like wild on its new turf field, and with an admiring and perspiring crowd of almost 20,000 looking on scored a decisive , but not too impressive victory over Washington and Lee yesterday afternoon in the giant bowl, 28-0. Starting with a team of nine veterans and two graduates from last year's freshmen and winding up with the injection of so many substitutes  that it would have made Knute Rockne seasick, the Panthers scored four times, twice on blocked kicks and twice by their own plunging and end skirting."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Lee
Early in the first period the Pitt offense advanced the ball by both running plays and short passes. Andy Gustafson culminated the drive by bulling his way into the end zone from the one-yard line for the first score in the new stadium. He tacked on the extra point and Pitt led 7-0. The Pitt defense stood out in the second quarter. First, Ralph Chase blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone for six points and Gustafson added the point after.

Then, later in the half, Pitt had the Generals again pinned deep in their own territory when James Scanlon and Wendell Steele broke through and blocked the Generals' punt. Steele fell on it for another six points and Allan Booth, Gustafson's replacement, nailed the conversion for a 21-0 halftime lead. The only scoring in the second half was a 20-yard scamper around end by halfback Joseph Schmitt. Booth kicked the extra point to close the scoring for the day.

1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Lafayette
For the fifth year in a row, Lafayette College from Easton, PA. was the second game on the schedule. The series with Lafayette was tied at three victories apiece. Former Pitt star Herb McCracken was in his second year at the helm, having led the Maroon to a 10-0 win over Pitt and final record of 7-2 in 1924. Lafayette opened their 1925 slate with a 20-14 win over Muhlenberg. Lafayette lost All-America end Berry and stalwart guard Budd from the line to graduation. "The Maroon however, will flash a powerful backfield with Kirkleski, Marsh, Gebhardt, Moore and Millman – a quintet of fast steppers – in harness."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Lafayette
"Pitt, however, with its great line, well-balanced backfield and wealth of reserve strength is being made the favorite, and it is generally admitted that a victory for the visitors would be a startling turnover of the advance dope."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Lafayette
David Finoli wrote "As much as Pitt wanted this to be a measuring stick to show how they'd improved, what happened was just the opposite. After spotting the Panthers an early 9-0 lead, Lafayette thoroughly controlled the contest, scoring 20 unanswered points and handing Pitt their worst loss in six years, 20–9."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Lafayette
Andy Gustafson converted three field goals in the first twenty minutes of the game from 27, 33, and 34 yards. Pitt led 9 to 0 and then the Lafayette offense controlled the game. Kirkleski returned a punt to his 46-yard line. Three straight passes resulted in a touchdown. Ford converted the extra point and Pitt led at the half 9 to 7. Lafayette gained possession early in the second half on their own 44. A 15-play sustained drive ended with Kirkleski barreling over from the two-yard line for the touchdown. Ford added the placement and the Leopards led 14 to 9. Late in the fourth period, Kirkleski bulled his way into the end zone for the final tally and Lafayette went home with the victory 20 to 9.

1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, West Virginia
The 1925 Mountaineers were led by first year coach Ira Rogers, a 1919 All-America fullback and College Football Hall of Fame member. The West Virginians were 2-0 on the season and looking to avenge their 14-7 upset loss on Forbes Field last year. Walter Mahan, All-America guard, anchored the line, but the Mountaineers strength was in the backfield, which included Francis Farley, an excellent passer, Ed Morrison, Doc Bruder and Pete Barnum. "Rogers and his assistants have been working hard to get the Mountaineers ready for the Pitt struggle and though handicapped by lack of reserve material the coaches believe that this year's eleven will trouble the powerful Panther machine."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, West Virginia
This was the twenty-first meeting in the "Backyard Brawl" and the series stood at 12-7-1 in Pitt's favor. "The Panthers seem to be thoroughly awakened to the fact that another defeat, following on the heels of the Maroon backset, would be nothing short of a calamity, and the chances are that it will be a bunch of determined , grim fighters who oppose the Morgantowners on Saturday." Coach Sutherland opted for the same lineup that started the Lafayette game.


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, West Virginia
By refusing to give up and finally reversing form in the last quarter of its annual football game with West Virginia, the Panthers bested the Mountaineers 15-7 in a tightly contested struggle that kept the 25,000 fans enthralled. Max E. Hannum of The Pittsburgh Press touted the hero of the day: "This is the story of a big blond descendent of the Vikings of old, who came out of the west several years ago to gain an education and athletic renown at the University of Pittsburgh. This ambitious young fellow, Andy Gustafson by name, sprang into prominence almost immediately, but he arose to the height of his brilliant career yesterday at Pitt Stadium,when, virtually single-handed, he encompassed the defeat of the Panther's ancient rival, the West Virginia eleven."

After a scoreless first half the Mountaineers advanced the ball sixty yards with Barnum bulling his way into the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown. He added the extra point to make it 7 to 0. Late in the third quarter the Panthers gained 65 yards through the air to the three yard line. Gustafson plunged for the score. A fumbled snap botched the extra point attempt and Pitt trailed 7 to 6 after three quarters. Midway through the final stanza the Pitt offense advanced the ball to the West Virginia 30-yard line.

The Mountaineer defense stiffened and Gustafson booted a 36-yard field goal to put Pitt ahead 9 to 7. West Virginia was not finished. Their offense moved the ball to the Pitt 20-yard line. Coach Rogers replaced Farley with Ryan. Ryan tried to circle around right end but fumbled and Gustafson scooped up the pigskin and did not stop until he crossed the goal line 80 yards away. He missed the placement and Pitt held on to win 15 to 7. West Virginia finished the season with a record of 8 wins and one loss.

1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Gettysburg
Gettysburg College was the fourth game on the schedule and before the seas fans looked at it as a filler game in between West Virginia and the "City Championship" versus Carnegie Tech. However, seventh-year Coach Bill Wood's eleven were unbeaten in three games. They clobbered St. John's (MD) 40-0 in their first game, then tied Lehigh 7-7, and followed that up with a 21-0 shutout of Muhlenberg. The Pittsburgh Press noted: "The Gettysburg outfit is far above the 'set-up' class, and the Panthers may be extremely fortunate to escape with whole hides this afternoon."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Gettysburg
The Panthers rested several starters who were nursing various injuries. Captain Ralph Chase, Wendell Steele, Richard Goldberg, Blair McMillan and John Harding did not play. The starting lineup only had two regulars – Frank Benedict at center and Andy Gustafson at fullback.

The Pittsburgh Gazette Times reported: "A confident Panther of Pitt, sleek and well fed on Mountaineer meat, chanced on the lean, snarling Blue Ridge timber wolf of Gettysburg at the stadium here yesterday afternoon and in sizzling, mud-soaked death combat barely clawed off with a 13-0 triumph by dint of a desperate final-stanza rally. And it wasn't that the husky Sutherland stars were below par. It wasn't that the field was soggy, slopped to a quagmire by Freshmen and Kiski tusslers in a preliminary joust. It wasn't altogether because the home authorities saw fit to start what might be considered largely a secondary squad. All these factors, to be sure, proved contributory. But the real power behind the remarkable enemy showing was Gettysburg grit."

The boys from the Battlefield stopped the Panthers in the first half. Andy Gustafson fumbled on the Gettysburg 8-yard line. Carl McCutcheon threw an interception on the 24-yard line. Joe Schmitt dropped a pass from Welch in the open field. The first play of the fourth stanza broke the scoreless tie. Gilbert Welch tossed a 7-yard touchdown pass to end John Roberts. Gustafson's extra point attempt struck the cross bar, but Gettysburg was offside and the extra point was allowed. Pitt led 7 to 0.

"On October 24 at the Carnegie Tech-Pitt game the new stadium was dedicated. It was an appropriate occasion for the dedication, for these two colleges had been rivals, off and on, since 1906, and their contests for the city championship always aroused much interest." Under a steady drizzle the festivities started with a parade of "hundreds of former athletes and scores of well-known men in the civic, business, professional and educational life of the city and nation."

Homer D. Williams, president of Carnegie Steel Co. and chairman of the stadium committee presented the stadium to the university, and Chancellor John G. Bowman accepted it. Former Chancellor Samuel B. McCormick gave the invocation. A 21 gun salute was presented by the 107th Field artillery as the American flag and banners of Pitt and Tech were raised.

The Tartans led by tenth year coach, Walter Steffen, were 2-0-1 at this point in the season. They beat Thiel and Mt. Saint Mary's handily and in their previous game held Wash-Jeff to a scoreless tie. Even though Pitt led the city series 9-2, Tech won the last two games against the Panthers. The same lineup that held the Presidents scoreless took the field against the Panthers.

The Panther football team left town for a week in the country prior to the Tech game. The Pitt Weekly editors were not keen on the team's absence from the classroom. But the word from camp was "the Panthers are keyed up as never before on the eve of a clash with Tech. They have had it drilled into them constantly this week that the game is no cinch, and that they must play their heads off if they are to win."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Carnegie Tech
Max E. Hannum of The Pittsburgh Press noted: "There will be nothing but pleasant memories for Pitt men when they think of the day when their great stadium was dedicated. A revived and fighting Panther eleven saw to that when they successfully repelled the attack of the Carnegie Tech forces, carved out an impressive 12 to 0 victory, and regained the city collegiate gridiron title, which had rested in the Tartan camp for two years. Almost 40,000 loyal supporters of both teams braved the elements, and clung to their seats around the great bowl, as an intermittent rain drove over the scene of the conflict throughout the contest."

Mid -first quarter Pitt recovered a Tartan fumble on their own 42-yard line. Andy Gustafson picked up three yards through the right side. On second down, Gilbert Welch dropped back and threw a pass to end John Kifer, which he caught over his head on the Tech 30-yard line, and ran unmolested into the end zone for the touchdown. Gustafson missed the placement and Pitt led 6 to 0. The Tech defense recovered a Welch fumble on the Pitt 14-yard line. Three plays moved the ball to the 6-yard line as time expired in the first period.

Tech botched a lateral and  Zoner Wissinger broke through the line, scooped up the slippery pigskin and rambled through the mud to the 44-yard line before he was tackled. Tech never threatened again. In the third quarter, a Pitt punt pinned the Tartans on their 2-yard line. They attempted to punt out of danger but the punt was shanked and went out of bounds on the Tech 17-yard line. After a holding penalty against Pitt, Welch hit Kifer with a 21-yard pass completion and first down on the 6-yard line. On fourth down Gustafson plunged into the end zone for the second score from the 1-yard line. The extra point was blocked. Pitt 12 to Tech 0. Coach Sutherland emptied the bench in the last stanza as 23 men participated in the game.

According to The Pittsburgh Sunday Post Coach Sutherland acted unusual after the game - he smiled and he talked:  "No, I don't like to say that the better team won. Neither do I like to say the poorer team lost. And about the only thing I can say is that Pitt's team is far better now than it has been any other time during the season. Oh, yes, it's regrettable that the field had to be wet, for without all that rain the game would have been much better and there wouldn't have been all that rough and tumble stuff. It's too bad, too, that Max Bastian had to be out of the game, for his presence would have brought Carnegie to its best strength. Carnegie has a good team. That's why Pitt had to be at its best."

Graduate Manager Karl Davis scheduled Johns Hopkins as the set-up opponent for the Panthers prior to their final big three games to end the season. After posting a very respectable 5-1-2 record in 1924, sixth-year coach Ray Van Orman brought his 1925 Black and Blue eleven to Pitt Stadium with a 2-2 record. This was the last time Pitt and Johns Hopkins met on the gridiron.


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Johns Hopkins
Max E. Hannum of The Pittsburgh Press reported: "Teams scheduled as 'set-up' opponents for institutions that desire only mediocre opposition on the eve of big games, frequently display tendencies to upset instead of taking their planned-for and generally expected trouncings. Johns Hopkins proved an exception to this rule at the Pitt Stadium yesterday, and, opposed by second and third-string members of the Panther squad, eased gently out of the picture by the score of 31 to 0."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Johns Hopkins
"The game was played in a quagmire that made clean handling of the ball impossible...Pitt crossed the visitors' line twice in the opening period and twice in the second quarter and again in the final period." Five different players scored for the Panthers- Allan Booth, Felix Demoise, Carl McCutcheon, John Grindle and Walter Hoban. Hoban added an extra point to close out the scoring. "Captain Walker Taylor was the shining light on the visiting squad, making several fine tackles which kept at least two more touchdowns from being registered."

The unbeaten 1925 Washington & Jefferson Presidents were being compared to the 1916 Pitt Panther "Greatest Eleven in the World" team. Coach David C. Morrow brought his crew to Pitt Stadium with a 5-0-1 record. Their only blemish was a scoreless tie with Carnegie Tech. After beating the Panthers 10-0 last season, the Presidents lead the series with Pitt 13-12. "W. & J. will present its strongest lineup, intent on keeping its season's slate clean...  Confidence exudes from the camp of the invaders, who can see nothing but a sure W. & J. triumph."

Coach Sutherland will start his strongest eleven. "With the discontented Panther followers snapping at his heels, clipping him from behind and making things miserable for him in their own peculiar way, Jock has nothing left but to whip his team into the best shape of its career, make them play as they never have before and then sit back and await the result. Last night Jock admitted that he was ready- and when Jock admits that much, it is plenty."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Jefferson
Max E. Hannum of The Pittsburgh Press praised the Panthers: "From the mud and slime of an almost impossible gridiron, a fighting and alert Panther rose to its greatest heights of the season yesterday afternoon at the new Pitt stadium. Before 30,000 rabid football enthusiasts, who refused to give up their seats even in the face of a driving rain that drenched every person on the mammoth bowl, and churned the field into a quagmire, the Pitt eleven upset the dope once more, and smashed a valiant and powerful W. & J. team, 6 to 0."

According to The Owl: "Neither team gamed anything through the first three periods and it looked as though the game would end in a scoreless tie...Minutes passed; the battle without results continued in its slow monotonous way. Pitt punted; Wash-Jeff received." But then, with less than five minutes to play, the Sutherland strategy of waiting for a break was rewarded as Pitt blocked a punt by Bill Amos. "Zack" Wissinger secured the slimy pigskin and "never covered 20 yards faster in his life, on either dry or wet field, and he will never cover another 20 yards with such a ringing ovation in his ears."


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Jefferson
"The Presidents made 12 first downs to Pitt's 2, but most of their gaining was done in the middle of the field, where it did not count. Not once did W. and J. threaten to score."

The Panthers only road game of the season was to Philadelphia to meet the Penn Quakers on Franklin Field. Third year coach Lou Young's team sported a 6-1 record. Their only loss was to the Illinois Illini, led by All-American halfback Red Grange, by the score of 24 to 2. Penn has beaten Pitt only once in the nine game series and the oddsmakers feel this year's game could be another in the win column for the Quakers. The Quakers were led by two All-Americans - halfback Al Kreuz and end George Thayer

Coach Sutherland spoke with The Pittsburgh Press: "We will play the kind of football that is best suited to the conditions that may arise as the battle progresses. We are not making any concessions to our foes. We know they are a great team, but other great teams have been beaten this fall, and Penn has been conquered once. All I can say is that my boys will play their hardest and best. They are physically fit to give everything they have, and their work may surprise some of the Quaker partisans."

The Pitt Weekly reported: "Pennsylvania--proud, old Penn—felt the heel of another conqueror last Saturday when the Panthers invaded the Quaker City and sent Lou Young's highly touted eleven down to a 14 to 0 defeat on Franklin Field. Penn was as badly trounced, perhaps more so, than it was when Red Grange and company rambled through its defense at will.... The story of the game is – Pitt had the better team. "

Late in the first quarter Pitt gained possession on their 48-yard line. Two short gains were followed by a completed pass from Jesse Brown to Andy Gustafson to the Penn 18-yard line. Six running plays advanced the ball to within inches of the goal line. "Gustafson jumped headlong over center for a touchdown." He then booted the placement through the uprights and Pitt led 7 to 0. Early in the second period Gustafson intercepted a pass in Penn territory and returned it to their 27-yard line. On first down Gilbert Welch gained 17 yards on a triple pass. On the next play, "(John) Harding started off right tackle, but reversed his field beautifully and ran across the line through a maze of tacklers." Gustafson added the point to complete the scoring. Pitt 14 – Penn 0.

Although at times the Pitt team is not considered when the great teams are thought of, I think the team will stand up to the best of them.

Thanksgiving Day 1925 marked the 28th meeting of the Panthers and Lions on the gridiron. The series stood at 13-12 in Pitt's favor with 2 ties. Hugo Bezdek and the Nittany Lions were having their worst season since his 1-2-1 debut in 1918. The Lions arrived at Pitt Stadium with a 4-3-1 record, and their only highlight was a scoreless tie with Notre Dame. The Lions had sophomore Cy Lungren at quarterback instead of injured starter Bill Helbig.


1925 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
"The absence of Helbig is a big handicap to the Lions, for the Newark boy has displayed more generalship since he took over the job than has been in evidence for several seasons." "Coach Bezdek has labored hard with his charges this week, and is said to have worked wonders with them. The visitors are a determined lot, and are certain to give the Panthers a tough battle all the way." A Pitt fan warned: "They have everything to gain and nothing to lose in this game, and they will show all they possess in football ability. A triumph over Pitt this year would be about the most impressive thing State could do as a windup to its season."

The Panthers went into the game healthy. "The players have been carefully nursed since the Penn encounter ten days ago, and are fit as the proverbial fiddle. Moreover, they are all anxious to wind up their campaign with a glorious victory, and are not in any mood to show mercy to their opponents." Eleven members of the 1925 team will be playing their final game for the Blue and Gold – Andy Gustafson, Ulhard Hangartner, John Kifer, Wendell Steele, Robert Irwin, Zoner Wissinger, Ralph Chase, Carl McCutcheon, Jesse Brown, Frank Benedict and John Harding.

The Pitt Weekly said it best: "The Panther, with his tail straight up in the air – rather proud since he deserves to be rated just beneath Dartmouth in the national ranking – ended his season Thanksgiving Day in a blaze of glory. It's rather unusual for all good seasons to be ended in blazes of glory and Pitt had a good season. But this particular blaze – 23 to 7 – singed the Nittany Lion and that always makes any blaze a better blaze."

Pitt scored first in the opening quarter when State halfback Johnny Roepke fumbled the snap on his 26-yard line. Andrew Salata scooped up the pigskin and rambled into the end zone for the touchdown. Andy Gustafson added the extra point and Pitt led 7 to 0. Pitt started their next drive on their 27-yard line and advanced the ball to the State 27-yard line. Gustafson missed a 35 yard field goal try but State was offside. Gustafson's attempt from the 30-yard line was perfect and Pitt led 10 to 0.

The Penn State offense proceeded to advance the ball to the Pitt 25-yard line. The Pitt defense stiffened and State lined up for a field goal. It was a fake as Cy Lundgren, the holder, dropped back and passed to a wide open Roepke on the five and he waltzed into the end zone for the Nittanies' touchdown. Ken Weston added the point and the first period ended 10 to 7. Early in the second stanza Pitt gained possession on the State 30-yard line.

A succession of running plays and State offside penalties led to Gustafson plunging through center from the 2-yard line for the Panthers second touchdown. Gustafson added the point after and the halftime score read: Pitt 17, Penn State 7. In the third period the Panthers gained possession on their 9-yard line. Three running plays moved the ball to the 20-yard line. Then, "a double pass, with (Gibby) Welch carrying the ball, saw the Pitt backfield star cut loose through the opposite side of the line out in the open field for an 80-yard run and a touchdown. Bergman made a frantic effort to overtake him but was a step behind the whole chase." Gustafson shanked the placement and the final score read: Pitt 23 to State 0.

David Finoli noted in his book "When Pitt Ruled The Gridiron” how good the 1925 season actually turned out:

“While given no consideration for the national championship at the time, years later when Denmark's Soren Sorensen, a physics professor at the University of Tennessee, decided to develop his college football computer rankings, he calculated that the Panthers were the best team in the nation. It's an honor that, while not recognized by the university as an official championship, showed the power of the 1925 squad."

1925 Pittsburgh mayoral election, Republican primary
Incumbent Republican mayor William A. Magee's career took a downturn when he broke with state Senator Max G. Leslie, a party boss who had sponsored Magee's candidacy in the previous election. Leslie, determined to prevent the mayor's re-election, pushed for Judge Charles H. Kline of the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas to succeed Magee. Kline attracted endorsements from other Republican leaders, including William Larimer Mellon, who along with his uncle Andrew W. Mellon was commonly (if not accurately) credited with controlling Pittsburgh politics. Faced with dwindling party support and a shortage of campaign funds, Magee withdrew from the field.

1925 Portuguese legislative election
Parliamentary elections were held in Portugal on 8 November 1925. The result was a victory for the Democratic Party, which won 83 of the 163 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 39 of the 70 seats in the Senate. Following a military coup in 1926 and the subsequent Estado Novo period, the 1925 elections were the last truly multi-party elections in Portugal until the 1975 Constituent Assembly elections.


1925 Portuguese legislative election, Background
In the 1922 parliamentary elections the Democratic Party emerged as the largest party but failed to win a majority of seats. Party leader Afonso Costa subsequently chose not to form government. Instead, António Maria da Silva, also of the Democratic Party, became Prime Minister on 6 February, leading a minority government supported by the Reconstitution Party, the Catholic Centre Party, the Regionalist Party and several independents. However, his government failed to serve a full term after being forced to resign following a motion of no confidence in November 1923. Further instability resulted in seven different governments holding office in the subsequent period until the 1925 elections.


1925 Portuguese legislative election, Contesting parties, Nationalist Republican Party
The Republican Liberal Party (PLR) emerged as the largest party following the 1921 elections, narrowly falling short of winning majorities in both chambers of parliament. However, in the 1922 elections they finished a distant second to the Democratic Party. This defeat led to the PLR seeking other ways of forming a conservative republican coalition capable of defeating the Democratic Party and holding onto power.


1925 Portuguese legislative election, Contesting parties, Nationalist Republican Party
On 14 May 1922, the PLR convinced Francisco Cunha Leal to join the party. This was viewed as a significant moment, as Cunha Leal was perceived as a hero by PLR members, having tried to save PLR leader António Granjo from assassination during the Bloody Night. After some failed attempts at negotiation with the Reconstitution Party, on 2 December 1922 the two parties formed a coalition in the House of Representatives, led by Álvaro de Castro.

This coalition was able to get Alfredo de Sá Cardoso elected President of the House of Representatives due to some representatives of other parties not being present. The two parties formed a coalition in the Senate ten days later. On 4 January 1923 the two parties formally merged, forming the Nationalist Republican Party.

In July 1925, a group of left-wing members of the Democratic Party joined the opposition and voted in favour of a motion of no confidence in António Maria da Silva's government. They were subsequently forced to resign from the Democratic Party and went on to form their own party, the Democratic Leftwing Republican Party.


1925 Portuguese legislative election, Contesting parties, Union of Economic Interests
During the First Portuguese Republic,  associations of employers took two different approaches to promote their interests. Before 1924, they attempted to exert political power indirectly, by influencing the government and its economic policies. After 1924, they form the Union of Economic Interests (UEI) as an attempt to exert political power directly. The UEI was led by the Commercial Association of Lisbon and also included members of other employer associations, including the União Agrária (Agrarian Union), the Associação Industrial Portuguesa (Portuguese Industrial Association) and the Associação Comercial de Lojistas (Commercial Association of Shopkeepers). Part of the UEI's political strategy included the acquisition of newspapers, including O Primeiro de Janeiro, the Diário de Notícias and O Século.

The game featured two legendary coaches, Knute Rockne of Notre Dame, and Pop Warner in his first year at Stanford. The game also featured the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame. Elmer Layden of Notre Dame and Ernie Nevers of Stanford were named the Rose Bowl Players Of The Game when the award was created in 1953 and selections were made retroactively.


1925 Rose Bowl
This was the first appearance for Notre Dame in any post season bowl game. It was the second appearance for Stanford in a bowl game, since their appearance in the First Tournament East West football game, later known as the 1902 Rose Bowl. This was the first appearance of the Notre Dame football team on the West Coast, and eventually led to the founding of the Notre Dame – USC rivalry. This game marked the first time a wirephoto, known at the time as a "telepix", was transmitted of a bowl game.

Notre Dame garnered interest from the Rose Bowl committee to play a PCC opponent for the 1925 football season. Rockne and the Notre Dame administration realized how lucrative an annual trip to Los Angeles would be for the football program. Notre Dame's west coast alumni began lobbying Rockne to bring the team to the Rose Bowl as a season finale on a yearly basis. The Rose Bowl committee favored this arrangement; at the time there was no tie in with the Big Ten Conference. However, the PCC had reservations.

Specifically, two members schools, Stanford University and the University of California refused to play Notre Dame "on account of [Notre Dame's] low scholastic standards. Since Notre Dame was a Catholic school, its academics were considered inferior at the time. USC's coach, Gus Henderson reached out to Rockne through correspondence stating that "USC would welcome the chance to play Notre Dame New Year's Day in Pasadena. While Rockne favored playing USC, Stanford, which won the PCC title, had first choice and eventually realized that playing Notre Dame would be lucrative, and the two played in the 1925 Rose Bowl.

After Notre Dame's 13–7 upset victory over a strong Army team, on October 18, 1924, Rice penned a famous passage of sports journalism:

Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over theprecipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below.
