1925 Allan Cup, Change in format
In February 1925, CAHA vice-president Frank Sandercock submitted a proposal to change the Allan Cup finals to a best-of-three games format instead of a two-game series decided on total goals scored. Public sentiment at the time was that in a two-game series, a lucky break was enough to decide the series, whereas a best-of-three format was less likely for that to happen. CAHA president Silver Quilty announced that the change was approved by a special vote and was put into effect for the 1925 competition.

1925 Assembly of Representatives election, Electoral system
Following the 1920 elections, debate continued on the issue of women's suffrage. In 1923 Mizrachi called for a men-only referendum on whether women should be entitled to vote, and threatened to withdraw from the Yishuv if one was not held. The Jewish National Council agreed to hold one on 8 November 1925, but with female participation. This led to Agudat Yisrael calling for a boycott. In response, Mizrachi and the Jewish National Council agreed to cancel the referendum.

1925 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1925 Atlantic hurricane season was an inactive Atlantic hurricane season during which four tropical cyclones formed. Only one of them was a hurricane. The first storm developed on August 18, and the last dissipated on December 1. The season began at a late date, more than two months after the season began. The official start of the season is generally considered to be June 1 with the end being October 31; however, the final storm of the season formed nearly a month after the official end. Due to increased activity over the following decades, the official end of the hurricane season was shifted to November 30.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season
The final two storms of the season impacted several areas, with the final storm affecting areas from Cuba to Rhode Island. The third storm caused little or no damage along the Texas coastline with gale-force winds being recorded only along the coast. The last storm caused severe damage along the beaches of the Florida Peninsula, with damages estimated in the millions along with four fatalities near Tampa. At least $600,000 was lost in damages dealt to the citrus industry and several maritime incidents resulted in over 55 fatalities.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season
The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 7, one of the lowest totals ever and far below the 1921–1930 average of 76.6. ACE is a metric used to express the energy used by a tropical cyclone during its lifetime. Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h), which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane One
The first indications of a tropical cyclone developing were on August 17. A ship in the vicinity of the developing system reported winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) over 78 °F (25.5 °C) waters. Around 0000 UTC the next day, the system was classified as a modern-day tropical depression with sustained winds estimated at 30 mph (45 km/h). Roughly 18 hours later, the depression strengthened into a tropical storm, the first of the season while located to the north-northeast of the Bahamas.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane One
Gradual intensification took place throughout most of the storm's life as it traveled towards the northeast until becoming a hurricane around 0600 UTC on August 20. About 30 minutes later, a ship recorded winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) and a pressure of 993.6 mbar (hPa), the lowest pressure recorded in relation to the small storm. Shortly after, the storm reached its peak intensity with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h). Increasing in forward motion, the storm became extratropical early on August 21 after turning towards the north.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Two
The second storm of the season was first identified on August 25 to the east of Florida as a tropical depression. Around this time, several ships were reporting winds up to 25 mph (35 km/h) in the vicinity of the system. Traveling towards the northeast, the storm gradually intensified, attainting tropical storm status around 0600 UTC the next day. Several hours later, a ship recorded a pressure of 1010 mbar (hPa) while located in the vicinity of the system. The storm turned towards the west-northwest later that day and forward motion began to increase.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Two
Early on August 27, the storm weakened below tropical storm status and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone while moving over cooler waters. The system dissipated shortly after over open waters. Although the storm remained over water for the duration of its existence, the outer reaches of the system brought rain and light winds to Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. In Jacksonville, Florida, the storm produced 0.47 in (11.9 mm) of rain on August 25. Between August 26 and 27, Cape Hatteras received 2.06 in (52.3 mm) of rain from the storm.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Three
The third storm of the season was first identified as tropical depression off the northwestern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula early on September 6. The system moved at a steady pace to the northwest towards the Rio Grande Valley. Shortly after forming, the depression strengthened into a tropical storm. At this time, a ship in the vicinity of the storm recorded a pressure of 1012 mbar (hPa). By 1800 UTC that day, the storm reached its peak intensity with winds of 50 mph (85 km/h). Around 9 pm CST (0300 UTC on September 7) that night, storm warnings were issued for areas between Brownsville and Corpus Christi, Texas. These warnings were later expanded to include the entire Texas coastline.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Three
The storm made landfall in northern Mexico, just south of the Texas border, shortly after the warnings were extended. Around the time the storm made landfall, a pressure of 1002 mbar (hPa) was recorded in Brownsville, Texas. The storm dissipated later that day over southwestern Texas. No known damage was caused as a result of this storm and storm-force winds were only recorded over a small area on the Texas coastline. The storm produced minor rainfall over south Texas with Brownsville recording 0.56 in (14.2 mm) and Corpus Christi recording 0.95 in (24.1 in). Winds up to 43 mph (69 km/h) were reported in Brownsville around 1 am CST (0800 UTC) on September 7.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical depression
In late September, a low-pressure area detached from a dissipating frontal system and gradually organized into a tropical system over warm sea surface temperatures in the central Atlantic. A tropical depression formed by late on September 29. However, the depression transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on October 1 as it merged with another frontal system.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Four
A tropical depression developed near the Yucatan Peninsula early on November 27. The depression drifted southeastward and gradually strengthened into a tropical storm. Once in the gulf, it accelerated and intensified to winds of 65 mph (105 km/h). Early on December 1, the storm made landfall near Fort Myers, Florida, at the same intensity. The system weakened and soon became extratropical. The extratropical cyclone emerged over the eastern Atlantic several hours later and regained hurricane-force winds. By 0000 UTC, the extratropical system peaked with winds of 90 mph (150 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 980 mbar (29 inHg).


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Four
Around this time, the U. S. S. Patoka, which was in the vicinity of the storm, recorded a pressure of 978.5 mbar (28.9 inHg). The northeastward movement slowed shortly after crossing Florida. Around 2300 UTC, it made landfall between Wilmington and Cape Hatteras with winds equivalent to a minimal hurricane. Shortly after landfall, maximum sustained winds in the storm dropped below 75 mph (120 km/h). A strong area of high pressure located over the Canadian Maritimes caused the system to turn east-southeastward.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Four
On December 5, the storm weakened further to the equivalent of a tropical depression as the system began to move towards the south. The remnants of the storm continued eastward, passing several hundred miles north of Bermuda later that day. The cyclone was reported near the Azores on December 9, before finally merging with another cyclone over the North Atlantic.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Four
The storm caused significant property and crop damage along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Trees, power lines, and telegraph wires were uprooted or knocked down by high winds along the Suwannee River. Structures which were previously considered to be safe from storms, being over 100 ft (30.4 m) inland, sustained significant damage from what was likely storm surge. The beaches along the Atlantic coast also sustained considerable damages from the storm. Four people were killed near Tampa in two separate incidents. The first occurred when a house collapsed on three men, pinning them to the ground.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Four
The second incident occurred after a woman ran outside her home and was struck by a tree limb. In North Carolina, heavy rains and strong winds were reported along the coast. Near record high water rises were recorded around Wilmington. Cape Hatteras was temporarily isolated from the surrounding areas as the high winds from the storm knocked down power lines throughout the area. Several buildings along the coast and numerous boats sustained considerable damage. Property loses were estimated in the millions, with $1 million in Jacksonville alone. Damages to the citrus industry were also significant, with total losses exceeding $600,000.


1925 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Four
In addition to the severe impacts on land, numerous shipping incidents resulted in several deaths. A schooner carrying seven people sunk with no survivors. A tug boat sank off the coast of Mobile, Alabama, while towing a lumber barge, the fate of the crew is unknown. A ship named the American S. S. Catopazi sank between Charleston, South Carolina and the northern coast of Cuba; all 30 crew members drowned. A ship carrying about 2,000 cases of liquor with a crew of six sank near Daytona Beach. Near Savannah, Georgia, a yacht sank, drowning 12 crew members. At least 55 deaths occurred at sea.

1925 Campeonato Carioca
The 1925 Campeonato Carioca, the twentieth edition of that championship, kicked off on April 26, 1925 and ended on December 20, 1925. It was organized by AMEA (Associação Metropolitana de Esportes Atléticos, or Metropolitan Athletic Sports Association). Ten teams participated. Flamengo won the title for the 5th time. No teams were relegated.


1925 Campeonato Carioca, Participating teams
Despite AMEA having CBD's official acknowledgement as the official Distrito Federal football league, due to Vasco da Gama's popularity, LMDT's league still had greater attendances, which led AMEA to invite Vasco into the league again, now with the requirements for their entry relaxed, but with the condition that the club didn't play its home matches at their field in the Moraes e Silva street and built a appropriate stadium, which would be completed in 1927. Aside from Vasco, Syrio e Libanez, that also had left LMDT in 1924 but hadn't been included in the 1924 championship entered the championship too.


1925 Campeonato Carioca, Participating teams
Vasco's exit from LMDT motivated some of the larger clubs in that league to join AMEA as well, but only Vasco was included in the First level, with the others joining the Second level. LMDT continued holding its own championships until 1934, but none of their championships held after 1924 are considered official.

1925 Canadian federal election
The 1925 Canadian federal election was held on October 29, 1925 to elect members  of the House of Commons of Canada of the 15th Parliament of Canada. The Conservative party took the most seats in the House of Commons, although not a majority. Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King's Liberal Party was invited to form a minority government. Unlike the Conservative party, King's Liberals had the conditional support of the many Farmer/Progressive MPs.


1925 Canadian federal election
The government fell the following year. Governor General Baron Byng of Vimy offered the Conservatives under Meighen a chance to form government. This too fell in short order. Byng's action precipitated the "King–Byng Affair", which became the main issue of the 1926 election.


1925 Canadian federal election, Background
The previous federal election in 1921 had seen Mackenzie King's Liberals fall narrowly short of winning a parliamentary majority, with Arthur Meighen's Conservatives falling to being the third-largest party, and the new Progressive Party, which had nominated candidates for the first time that year, held the balance of power.


1925 Canadian federal election, Background
King was able to rule with the tacit support of the Progressives, and was not facing a statutory federal election until December 1926; however, a budget proposed in September 1925 by finance minister William Stevens Fielding was unexpectedly voted down in parliament, obligating Mackenzie King to resign as Prime Minister and recommend to the Governor General, Baron Byng of Vimy to hold a new election (theoretically King could have recommended that Byng allow either Meighen or Progressive leader Robert Forke to form a government, but the Conservatives were far short of the number of MPs required to form a stable government, and Forke had no interest in being Prime Minister).


1925 Canadian federal election, Aftermath and the King-Byng Affair
The Liberals won fewer seats than the Conservatives, who were left eight seats short of a majority. The Progressives lost almost two thirds of their seats from the previous election, but they still held enough seats to control the balance of power. King decided to hold on to power with the help of the Progressives. The Progressives were closely aligned with the Liberals and enabled King to form a minority government.


1925 Canadian federal election, Aftermath and the King-Byng Affair
That plan was complicated by the fact that his party won fewer seats than the Conservatives and that King himself had lost his seat in the House of Commons. Meighen was outraged by King's move and demanded for King to resign from the Prime Minister's office. Byng privately agreed that the Conservatives should be allowed to form the next government and felt that the Liberal-Progressive pact was a corrupt bargain, but he found that there were no valid legal grounds for refusing to allow King to continue in office. King asked a Liberal Member of Parliament from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, to resign so that he could run in the resulting by-election. Prince Albert was one of the safest seats in Canada for the Liberals, and King won easily.


1925 Canadian federal election, Aftermath and the King-Byng Affair
With King back in Parliament, a huge scandal rocked the King cabinet when one of his appointees was discovered to be accepting bribes from a male lover. Anticipating a vote of censure by the Commons, King asked Byng to call an election. The Governor General refused, and King resigned on June 28, 1926. Meighen was then invited to form a government.


1925 Canadian federal election, Aftermath and the King-Byng Affair
King claimed that was interference in Canadian politics by an official appointed by a foreign power. King showed rare fire and rallied the Progressives back into his camp. He defeated Meighen on a vote of confidence after only three days, which made the Meighen government of 1926 the shortest-lasting government in Canadian history. This time, Byng called an election.

1925 Carmarthenshire County Council election
An election to the Carmarthenshire County Council was held in March 1925. It was preceded by the 1922 election and followed by the 1928 election.


1925 Carmarthenshire County Council election, Overview of the result
The election saw a reduction in the number of candidates openly supporting the Liberal Party as an increasing number stood as Independents. Labour continued to gain some ground in the Llanelli and Ammanford districts.


1925 Carmarthenshire County Council election, Unopposed returns
All but eighteen of the 53 divisions were uncontested, with the majority of the unopposed returns being in the rural parts of the county. All three seats in Carmarthen town were uncontested after the local Labour Party held a meeting to consider the question but decided to put no candidates forward.


1925 Carmarthenshire County Council election, Contested elections
Conservatives and Liberals increasingly stood as Independents in those contests that took place. One local newspaper commented that a lack of interest on the part of the electorate was a feature of most of the eighteen contests that took place. Labour once again failed to make any real advance in Llanelli town.


1925 Carmarthenshire County Council election, Summary of results
This section summarises the detailed results which are noted in the following sections. As noted, there was ambiguity in some cases over the party affiliation.

1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake
The 1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake struck northeastern North America on February 28, reaching 6.2 on the moment magnitude scale. It was one of the most powerful measured in Canada in the 20th century, with a maximum perceived intensity of VIII (Severe) on the Mercalli intensity scale at its epicentre in the area of Charlevoix-Kamouraska along the Saint Lawrence River near île aux Lièvres and not greater than VI (Strong) in the United States. The quake was felt in Quebec City, Shawinigan, Montreal, as far south as Virginia, and as far west as the Mississippi River.


1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake, Damage
It caused damage in three separate areas. The first had extreme damage constricted to a narrow belt 20 miles (32 km) long on both shores of the Saint Lawrence River near the epicentre. In this area, damage at the villages of Baie-Saint-Paul, Saint-Urbain, Les Éboulements, Pointe-au-Pic, La Malbaie, Tadoussac and the other nearby villages of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière, Saint-Pacôme, Rivière-Ouelle, Saint-Philippe, Saint-Denis, and Saint-Pascal on the south shore, was mostly related to the magnitude of the earthquake itself, and to some extent by the deep grainy soil on which many of the destroyed buildings were built. The two other damaged areas were Quebec City and in the Trois-Rivières – Shawinigan area, where the destruction was more extensive, not so much due to the strength of the earthquake, but rather to the uneven nature of the landscape.


1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake, Aftermath
A total of 55 aftershocks were recorded, which lasted for weeks, ranging from magnitude 5 to 2. Over the years, several studies were published on the 1925 Charlevoix–Kamouraska earthquake, some as recently as 1999. A foreshock occurred in the St. Lawrence valley the prior year on September 30. It was rated at 6.1 and was felt from Rockland, Ontario to Portland, Maine.


1925 Chatham Cup
The 1925 Chatham Cup was the third annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.


1925 Chatham Cup
The competition was run on a regional basis. Each region held its own contest to find a regional champion, with these then being grouped into four regional associations (Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, and Otago), each of which was represented in semi-finals by one team, followed by northern and southern semi-finals and a national final.


1925 Chatham Cup, Entrants
In all, 30 teams took part in the competition, though some contemporary reports say there were 29. Ten of these teams were from the Wellington area, nine from Auckland, and three from Christchurch. Confusion is caused by some contemporary reports which list the Pukemiro team as "Huntly", despite these being two separate sides from the same area.


1925 Chatham Cup, The 1925 final
The final was played at Newtown Park, Wellington, a change of venue from the previous finals which had been at Athletic Park. This new venue was to host the final again in 1927, with the Basin Reserve being preferred as a permanent venue from 1928 after its use in 1926. The 1925 final was part of an unusual double-bill, the ground also being used on the same day for a rugby league match between the New Zealand team and a touring Queensland representative XIII.


1925 Chatham Cup, The 1925 final
The final was the first re-match of two teams who had previously contested a final; six Seacliff players and four YWCA players played in both the 1923 and 1925 finals. The game was described in The Dominion as entertaining with a number of chances, as was reflected by the scoreline, which was 2-2 at full time. The first goal came from Stewart Dempster for YMCA, but Wattie Hanlin equalised before the half-time interval.


1925 Chatham Cup, The 1925 final
In the second half Seacliff went into the lead through Bill Hooper, who became the first player to score in two separate finals, having previously scored in Seacliff's 1923 win. this time it was YMCA who equalised with a second goal from Dempster. Dave Halley grabbed the winner for the Wellington side early in the first period of extra time.


1925 Chatham Cup, Results, Quarter-finals
The fourth quarter-final would have been between Nomads and either Rangers or Sunnyside. Two of these three teams would have previously met in the fourth round.


1925 Chattanooga Moccasins football team
The 1925 Chattanooga Moccasins football team was an American football team that represented the University of Chattanooga (now known as the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga) as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) during the 1925 college football season. In their first year under head coach Frank Thomas, the team compiled a 4–4 record.


1925 Chicago Bears season
The 1925 Chicago Bears season was their sixth regular season completed in the National Football League. The team was unable to improve on their 6–1–4 record from 1924 and finished with a 9–5–3 record under head coach George Halas earning them a seventh-place finish in the team standings, their worst showing to that date. However, the 1925 Bears were the most notable team in the young NFL's history to that point all because of the addition of college players, including Red Grange.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
The Bears started slow, just like in 1924, opening the season with two ties and a loss to Green Bay (the Packers' first win ever over the Bears). The Bears regrouped, however, and won 6 of their next 7. During the fall, Bears owners George Halas and Edward Sternaman reached an agreement with C. C. Pyle to sign Illinois Fighting Illini football star Red Grange, a deal that included organizing a barnstorming tour that spanned 19 games and 67 days.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
As part of their agreement, the Bears received 50 percent of the ticket gate, while Pyle and Grange got the other half. The negotiations took longer than the Bears owners had expected, with Halas recalling in 1967 that he and Sternaman "figured that a middle-aged small-town theater operator who wore spats might not prove too tough a negotiator for a couple of bright young extra football executives from Chicago. But then again, we had also made other mistakes."


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
On November 22, after the Illini season ended, Grange formally announced his intention to sign with the Bears. That same day, he attended the Bears' 21–0 win over the Packers.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
Grange made his NFL debut in the Bears' Thanksgiving Day game against the Chicago Cardinals on November 26. An estimated 40,000 attended what ended in a scoreless tie. In the next game against the Columbus Tigers, Grange threw a touchdown pass as the Bears won 14–13. Shortly after, the Bears signed Grange's Illinois teammate Earl Britton.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
Between December 2 and December 13, the Bears played an astounding eight games, during which the team lived in a special railway car, with its women's restroom converted into a makeshift training room. The first game was against the Donnelly All-Stars, a team sponsored by a local mortician, at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. The Bears won 39–6, though only 8,000 attended due to poor weather and being played on a Wednesday. This was followed by a two-touchdown day by Grange, including the game winner in a 14–7 defeat of the Frankford Yellow Jackets.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
Immediately after the Yellow Jackets game, the Bears boarded the train to New York, still wearing their dirtied uniforms; when the players noticed their gear, Pyle told Halas, "This tour will make you so wealthy, Halas, that next year you'll be able to afford two sets of uniforms." On December 6, Grange and the Bears played the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds; Giants owner Tim Mara had attempted to sign Grange, and after that failed, he instead secured a game with the Bears. Although the Giants lost 19–7, the game attracted nearly 70,000 fans and saved the team from financial ruin.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
From New York, the team traveled to Washington, D.C. to take on an all-star team. Before their game, the Bears – accompanied by Illinois Senator William B. McKinley – visited President Calvin Coolidge who greeted them, "Glad to meet you. I always did like animal acts." The Bears defeated Washington 19–0 with Sternaman, Johnny Bryan, and Frank Hanny scoring touchdowns.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
Despite the victories, the demanding schedule led to an increase in injuries, including Grange who was hit in the left arm during the Giants game, causing it to swell by the team's next game against the Providence Steam Roller in Boston. The pain from the injury was too much for Grange, who struggled to return a punt and allowed it to sail over his head. In addition to allowing a safety, Hanny lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, while Bryan scored the Bears' lone points in the 9–6 loss.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
Before their next game against an all-star team in Pittsburgh, former All-American Bo McMillin visited the Bears in the locker room and advised Grange to not play upon seeing his arm. At kickoff, only ten players were available, forcing Halas to choose between center George Trafton and tackle Ed Healey to serve as the required 11th man; Trafton, who was able to at least stand and walk, was reluctantly called to action. Trainer Andy Lotshaw, who had never played football before, was also ordered to play tackle; Grange remarked, "He played about half a game before they killed him.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
Not literally of course." Twelve minutes into the game, Grange attempted to block for halfback Johnny Mohardt, but tore a ligament and ruptured a blood vessel in his arm, the latter of which resulted in artery hemorrhaging. With Grange out, the Bears lost 24–0. His injury prompted the Bears to cancel a game against the Cleveland All-Stars, leading to the game organizer suing for breach of contract.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
Grange missed the following game against the lowly Detroit Panthers after a blood clot developed in his arm. Nevertheless, he joined his teammates at the stadium and was greeted by fans at halftime. In front of a crowd of just 4,111, he watched from the sideline as his team was shut out once again 21–0; $18,000 was later refunded to the fans in attendance.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap
On December 13, the Bears returned to Chicago to host the Giants, but with Grange still out, many canceled their ticket reservations and only 18,000 watched as the Bears lost 9–0. "No other team before or since has ever attempted such a grueling schedule as the 1925 Bears and I'm sure never will," Grange wrote in his 1953 autobiography. Grange had some success in this season, scoring three touchdowns overall. Still, the star of the team was Joe Sternaman who scored six touchdowns, threw for three more, and added three field goals and 18 PATs. Sternaman scored 72 of the Bears' 158 points.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
At the end of the 1925 season, the Bears embarked on a barnstorming tour, playing games in Florida, Louisiana, California and Washington, usually against local pick-up teams. To avoid further injuries like in December, the team held week-long breaks between stretches in which they played games on consecutive days. The Bears' roster, which typically carried 18 players, grew to 21 for the tour with additions like quarterback Richard Vick, halfback Harold Erickson, end Paul Goebel, tackle Roy Lyman, and center Ralph Claypool.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
The team left for Florida on December 21, traveling in a Pullman train car called "Bethulla" that the players nicknamed "Dog House". Pyle also hired a porter to carry their luggage and arranged for matching sweaters. The train arrived in Miami two days later, from which they went to Coral Gables for a banquet attended by alumni from the University of Illinois.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
Prior to their Christmas Day game against the Coral Gables All-Stars, Halas, Sternaman, and Pyle visited the game site and noticed it was merely a field of sand. To their surprise, a group of 200 carpenters quickly began constructing a temporary 25,000-seat stadium; however, the poor field conditions led Halas to contact New York for new cleats. Britton, who also played kicker, received a new pair of shoes which he argued would not help him; although he had two 50-yard punts in the game, he subsequently reverted to his original footwear. The Bears won 7–0 with Grange scoring on a two-yard touchdown in front of just 8,000 (tickets were $20, over five times more expensive than an NFL game at the time). The stadium was demolished the next day.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
On January 1, 1926, the Bears played the Tampa Cardinals in Plant Field; the Cardinals were led by Jim Thorpe, who decided to participate despite being 41, and featured several members of the NFL's Rock Island Independents. Thorpe struggled with fumbles as Grange and Sternaman scored in the Bears' 17–3 win. The next day, the Bears defeated a Jacksonville team featuring former Stanford All-American Ernie Nevers by a score of 19–6, with Grange throwing two touchdown passes, one of which went for 30 yards to Verne Mullen. Mullen was also involved in a fight with a Jacksonville player that sparked a brawl before teammates and police intervened.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
After resting for a week, the team departed for New Orleans, though Halas' wife Minnie, daughter Virginia, and son George Jr. decided to return to Chicago. "My brother had been born that September 1925, and [the tour] was just before my third birthday, so I don’t have any real memories," Virginia recalled in 2019. "But I have heard many stories about the traveling on the train with my mother and her sister, my aunt. And we went as far as Florida and then decided, my mother decided we would go home and not make the trip to California."


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
In New Orleans, a Southern-based all-star team led by former Tulane captain Lester Lautenschlager hosted the Bears. Grange scored a touchdown and recorded 136 rushing yards in a 14–0 shutout victory. From there, the Bears went westward to play the Los Angeles Wildcats, led by Washington Huskies football star and Grange admirer George "Wildcat" Wilson, who agreed to join as they offered the chance to play against him. In front of 65,000 fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Grange and Joey Sternaman scored for the Bears in the 17–7 win, while Roy Baker recorded the Wildcats' lone touchdown. According to game organizer P. S. Halbriter, gate receipts amounted to nearly $135,000, including $50,000 to Grange.

The following day, the California Stars hosted the Bears on a high school field in San Diego. Chicago struck first with Oscar Knop's touchdown, while Grange added a score of his own in the fourth quarter for a 14–0 win. A day after the game, Portland Coast Baseball League president Tom Turner announced his intentions to attract Grange and the Bears to Portland for a game later in the month.

After another week of rest, the team went to Kezar Stadium in San Francisco to play Wilson's San Francisco Tigers. Despite being betting favorites, the Bears fell behind as the Tigers' James Bradshaw recorded two interceptions, while his teammates Bob Fitzke and Houston Stockton scored. Sternaman threw a touchdown pass to Paul Gobel as the Bears fell 14–7.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
On January 30–31, Grange and his team visited the Pacific Northwest to play all-star teams in Portland and Seattle, both led by Wilson. Wilson had agreed to play provided he be paid in advance and game organizers provided him with a strong offensive line; he described the Bears as having "the biggest and best line I ever saw on a football field." As such, his teammates for the games consisted of players from the Waterfront Athletic Club who also worked as longshoremen.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
In Portland, with a "small but highly critical crowd" of between 5,000 and 6,500 watching, Grange and Britton combined for five touchdowns, including three by the latter, en route to a 60–3 blowout. However, Grange left the game before halftime after suffering an injury in a pile-up; Wilson also did the same.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
Chicago wrapped up the barnstorming tour in Seattle. Grange recorded a rushing and passing touchdown in the first half, while Wilson injured his right leg during the second quarter while trying to tackle him. Seattle's Rollie Corbett broke his leg in the game, leading to Grange, Pyle, and Wilson setting up a fund to support him for which they donated $50 apiece. The Bears won 34–0.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Season recap, January barnstorming tour
The Bears ended the tour with an 8–1 record. Grange was richly rewarded for his rookie year in professional football, netting salary and bonuses totaling nearly $125,000 — far more than any individual player had ever received.


1925 Chicago Bears season, Standings
Note: Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972. * The Pottsville Maroons were suspended from the league in December, resulting in the Chicago Cardinals being named the NFL champions.


1925 Chicago Cardinals season
The 1925 Chicago Cardinals season resulted in the Cardinals winning their first NFL championship. The 1925 championship is contested and never awarded by the NFL after the Pottsville Maroons were suspended.


1925 Chicago Cardinals season
The end of the Cardinals season was centered on two historic, but controversial, situations. The first was a team scandal with the Milwaukee Badgers. The scandal involved a Chicago player, Art Folz, hiring a group of high school football players to play for the Milwaukee Badgers, against the Cardinals. This would ensure an inferior opponent for Chicago. The game was used to help prop up their win–loss percentage and as a chance of wresting the 1925 championship away from the first place Pottsville Maroons.


1925 Chicago Cardinals season
When NFL president Joseph Carr learned high school players had been used in a league game, he told reporters the 58–0 Cardinals win would be stricken from the record. However, the league had never got around to removing it and the game is still a part of the NFL records. Cardinals' owner Chris O'Brien was also fined $1,000 by Carr for allowing his team play a game against high schoolers, even though O'Brien claimed that he was unaware of the players' status. Finally Badgers' owner, Ambrose McGuirk, was ordered to sell his Milwaukee franchise within 90 days. Folz, for his role, was barred from football for life.


1925 Chicago Cardinals season
However, by the summer of 1926, the $1,000 fine against O'Brien was rescinded, probably since the amount would have put the Cardinals out of business. McGuirk though had already sold his Badgers franchise to Johnny Bryan, a fullback with the Chicago Bears. Two of the high school football players used in scandal even earned high school all-star recognition at the end of their season. Art Folz reportedly told the high schoolers that the game was a "practice game" and would in no part affect their amateur status.


1925 Chicago Cardinals season
The Milwaukee scandal did have implications for the 1925 NFL Championship and the second controversy. In December 1925, the Pottsville Maroons had their title removed by the NFL and given to the Cardinals for playing in an unsanctioned game against the Notre Dame All-Stars. To this day, Pottsville residents and supporters still demand to know why Chicago was awarded the title even though they too were found by Carr to have violated the NFL's rules. According to Bob Carroll of the Professional Football Researchers Association, "The Cardinals didn't defy the league", Carroll said. "Pottsville did. It was a great team, but the owner made a mistake." However, it is still not entirely known if O'Brien knew of the high school players on the Badgers team.

For his part, Cardinals owner Chris O'Brien refused to accept the championship title for his team. At the owners' meeting after the season was over, he argued that his team did not deserve to take the title over a team which had beaten them fairly. It appears that his reasons for scheduling the Milwaukee and Hammond games had been not to take the title, but rather to convince the cross-town Chicago Bears to play his team again – the Bears, with Red Grange in their roster, were a very lucrative draw. The NFL said it would revisit the issue later, but never did. It was only later, under the ownership of Charles Bidwill and his son Bill Bidwill, that the Cardinals began claiming the championship title.
