1924 Panamanian general election
The American government remained aloof and permitted Panamanians to manage their own affairs. Rodolfo Chiari, the Liberal candidate, defeated General Manuel Quintero Villarreal, the commander of the Panamanian army at Coto and the leader of the opposition, for the presidency in an election of ‘orden perfecto’.


1924 Panamanian general election
One practice that grew out of the struggle for control of the electoral board was the ‘paquetazo,’ which amounted to stuffing the ballot boxes with ghost votes, thereby giving the party that controlled the board a landslide victory in a particularly difficult to monitor, remote part of the country. One of the more blatant cases occurred in 1924. Rodolfo Chiari, the administration’s hand-picked candidate, easily won the 1924 election, including a landslide margin among the indigenous people of San Blas. There police intimidation resulted in a margin of 594 to 17 in favor of Chiari.

At the close of the 1923 season the University of Pittsburgh bid farewell to Glenn S. Warner, who was now head coach of Leland Stanford University, and welcomed John Bain Sutherland, who had been the Lafayette head coach, to lead the football program. “It is very difficult for a new coach to replace a legend.”  But “Jock” with his 33-8-2 record for five years work at Lafayette as incentive came home to Pittsburgh to take on the challenge. His first order of business was hiring Guy Williamson, former Pitt quarterback and recent head football coach of Grove City College, as his assistant. Alex Stevenson and Floyd Rose both remained on the staff.

Graduate Manager Karl E. Davis set up another competitive schedule. The University of Pennsylvania coaches demanded an easier schedule, so they dropped Pitt from their schedule. The Panthers instead played Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore Stadium and Geneva replaced Bucknell. The rest of the schedule mimicked the 1923 slate. Penn was back on the schedule for the 1925 season.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Preseason
Coach Sutherland implemented a spring practice session to become acquainted with the returning members of the squad. The new coach had work to do as only five starters from the 1923 Penn State game lineup were eligible for the 1924 season. (Chase, Johnson, Wissinger, Gwosden and Gustafson)   After four weeks of strenuous drill, Coach Sutherland stated that he was highly pleased with the condition of the many candidates. “Not only the system of Sutherland has been learned, but general conditioning of the men, new signals, and general instructions have been practiced. The three  teams which practiced on the field during this time learned new plays which will be utilized next fall. The players have also had considerable practice in handling the oval, punting and passing.”

Approximately one year after the initial request, the University and city officials agreed to the conditions of street vacating and construction for the new 70,000 seat stadium. Excavation began August 4, 1924 and the hope was to play the 1925 season in the new structure. W. S. Hindman, class of 1898, was the designing engineer in charge of construction. The stadium facilities were also to be utilized by the baseball, track and basketball teams. “A special basketball pavilion with a seating capacity of 5,000 will be made under the stadium at the right of the main entrance.”

Sutherland's first Camp Hamilton preseason practice ran from September 3 to the September 20 with more than 40 aspirants vying for positions on the squad. Coach Sutherland, assisted by Guy Williamson and Floyd Rose, had about three weeks to prepare the lads for their first game at Grove City on September 27. On the eve of the end of camp, Harry Camins of The Gazette Times reported: “Coach Sutherland professes to be entirely satisfied with the results attained during the stay here. He says there remains much to be done, but that the results thus far have been all that could be expected of a team which has to be largely rebuilt.”

The Panthers opened the 1924 season on the road against the Grove City Crimson coached by former Pitt star Charley Bowser. Bowser was elevated to head coach when former head man Guy Williamson retired. (Subsequently, Coach Sutherland convinced Williamson to join the Pitt staff)   Grove City won the first two games played against Pitt, in 1896 and 1898, but hasn't been able to best the Panthers in the past seven meetings. "The whole district is wrought up over the contest, and a record-breaking crowd of fans is anticipated. The Grovers are in good shape. The team is just as heavy as Pitt, and probably further advanced in development. Indications point to a stubborn battle all the way with nothing to indicate a lopsided score."

On Friday afternoon, the Panthers traveling squad boarded the train for the ride to Grove City, which included a dinner stop at the Nixon Hotel in Butler.

The Pitt fans are anxious to see how the lineup with six new men "will act in a tight place."

Max E. Hannum of The Pittsburgh Press reported: "The new Pitt football machine, under the direction of its first alumni coach, Dr. John Bain Sutherland, got off to a good start here this afternoon, defeating the Grove City collegians, coached by Charley Bowser, another former Panther, by a score of 14 to 0."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Grove City
Pitt scored in the first period on a 56-yard run by John Harding. "The little halfback careened through the middle of the line. His way was well paved down the field by Mad Marsh Johnson, who cut down two would-be tacklers who were striving manfully to force Jack to the sideline. Milo Gwosden converted the try-for-point into an 'ace' with a placement kick." Pitt led 7 to 0. Late in the same period Pitt gained possession at midfield and advanced the ball to the 2-yard line as time expired.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Grove City
On the second play after switching ends of the field, Andy Gustafson bulled into the end zone for the last touchdown of the day. Gwosden again made the point after and Pitt was ahead 14 to 0. A few minutes later Gwosden missed an 18-yard field goal. Harding also muffed one late in the fourth quarter. Grove City never threatened Pitt's goal, but they missed two field goal attempts.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Grove City
The Panthers earned 13 first downs to the Grovers 6, but the telling statistic was Grove City only completing 4 passes out of 23 attempts. "Sloppy handling of the ball by receivers and throwers disgusted the fans, while Captain Harry Brian, halfback, failed at tossing and then muffed three successive passes which would have meant heavy gains."

The Leopards with nine returning starters in the lineup beat Muhlenberg in their opening game. Lafayette's line was anchored by All-America end Charlie Berry. "The entire 1923 backfield is back at Easton, including the famous Chicknoski, whom Jock Sutherland ranks as one of the best halfbacks he ever saw....Lafayette will present at Forbes Field a team which will have the advantage over Pitt in the matter of experience."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Lafayette
"The Pitt mentor fears Lafayette. Coach Sutherland realizes that if his pupils are not up to snuff (they) will find themselves on the short end. The Panther punch is still missing." A few Pitt players nursing minor injuries should all be fit to play on Saturday.

Max E. Hannum of The Pittsburgh Press reported: "Herb McCracken returned to Forbes Field in a new role yesterday. He chaperoned a well-drilled and powerful Lafayette football team, and humbled his Blue and Gold alma mater by the score of 10 to 0, while thousands of gridiron-hungry Pittsburghers looked on."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Lafayette
After a scoreless first period, Lafayette advanced the ball to the Pitt 10-yard line minutes before halftime and the Pitt defense stiffened. "Berry fell back to the 24-yard line for an attempted drop kick. It was good, sailing squarely between the uprights." Lafayette led 3-0 at the intermission.

The third quarter was scoreless but in the mid-fourth period Lafayette halfback Kirkleski intercepted Jesse Brown's pass on his 45-yard line and was finally brought down on the Pitt 14-yard line. Six plays later, "the Pitt line was massed for a smash at center but the Lafayette field general crossed them up and pulled a reverse that sent Kirkleski across the goal line in the corner of the field.

Clarence Spears brought his West Virginia Mountaineers to Forbes Field for the third game of the season. The Mountaineers were looking to extend their two game winning streak over the Panthers. The Mountaineers were 2-0 on the season with victories over West Virginia Wesleyan and Allegheny. The Mountaineers lineup was missing some of the key players from the 1923 season but their line was anchored by two All-Americans – Walter Camp's third team guard, Walter Mahan and Tom Thorp's first team end, Fred Graham. Nick Nardacci, their flashy halfback, who was supposed to be sick and unable to play, was back at his position. "Last year he practically defeated the Gold and Blue single- handedly."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, West Virginia
On Friday, Graduate Manager Karl E. Davis told The Pittsburgh Press: "Our team is in poor shape, and we will not be able to present our full strength against the Mountaineers tomorrow. This is not spoken in an attempt to alibi for whatever may happen, but merely to let the public know what Coach Sutherland is up against at present. We will have no alibis if we are beaten. We do not believe in them." Pitt starting halfback and punter, Jesse Brown, has a left shoulder injury and will not play. "Andy Gustafson, the husky fullback, is also in poor shape."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, West Virginia
According to Regis M. Welsh of The Pittsburgh Sunday Post: "No team has ever beaten Pitt three successive times. And that still stands. For yesterday, by a transformation as though the product of magic, the Panther, humbled last week by Lafayette, regarded as in for a long season, came back, twice flung back the long, lean Mountaineers after they had reached the Pitt one-yard line and then, by a brilliant offensive which smacked of old days, scored two touchdowns and triumphed when few had expected them. 14-7."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, West Virginia
The first period was a scoreless punting duel. Early in the second quarter Pitt defensive back John Harding was guilty of pass interference in the end zone and the Mountaineers had the ball on the Pitt 3-yard line. West Virginia fullback "Eckberg was given the ball and plunged over the line, but as he fell sprawling, the ball loosed from his arms and Joe Schmitt fell on the ball. Pitt ball on the 20-yard line." The Pitt offense advanced the ball to the West Virginia 6-yard line but lost the ball on downs. Fumbles and interceptions stymied both offenses the rest of the scoreless first half.

The last quarter began with West Virginia stopping the Panther offense on fourth down on the Panther 39-yard line. The Mountaineers advanced the ball by forward passes to the 7-yard line.

Eckberg gained two yards on first down. On second down Nardacci plunged to the two and fumbled. Pitt back John Harding fell on the ball on the one-yard line. "Nardacci's old weakness of fumbling within the scoring zone cost the Mountaineers a touchdown." Pitt punted and West Virginia regained possession on the Pitt 25-yard line. On third down Ulard Hangartner intercepted a Nardacci pass and rambled to the West Virginia 13-yard line. "He should have crossed the line but Nardacci stopped him in spite of a four-man interference.

The Pitt Panthers next traveled to Baltimore, MD to take on the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays for the first ever meeting between the schools. The Blue Jays were led by fifth-year coach Ray Van Orman, who played for Glenn Warner at Cornell from 1904-1906. Johns Hopkins was 2-0 on the season, having beaten Randolph-Macon and Mt. St. Mary's without giving up a point. The Blue Jays offense centers on Doug Turnbull, right halfback, "who is an artful runner, a kicker of more than average skill and an excellent passer."

"The style of play of the Smoky City invaders will be representative of the Sutherland-Warner-Pittsburgh era, while Hopkins' methods will stand for the Van Orman-Warner-Cornell age. Each, of course, will be a variation of the gridiron philosophy of the 'Old Master,' colored and reconstructed in spots to conform to the individual likes and dislikes of the pupils."

Coach Sutherland hoped to start the same lineup that appeared in the West Virginia game but Carl Sauer replaced an injured Blair McMillan at end and Ralph Chase was inserted into Thomas Murdoch's tackle slot.

W. Wilson Wingate of The Baltimore Sun reported: "Lost in the maze of seats at Baltimore's big horseshoe, a little crowd of some 8,000-10,000 persons-mostly silent and unassertive-saw Johns Hopkins go down to defeat before the Pittsburgh Panthers yesterday afternoon at the stadium. The score was 26 to 0."

The "City Game" against Carnegie Tech generated plenty of interest after Tech earned its first win in the series last fall. The Tartans led by third-year coach Walter Steffen were 3-1 on the season, having just lost to Washington & Jefferson 10 to 0. "Coach Wally Steffen declared: 'I feel the same way about the Pitt game as I did last Saturday when we tackled Wash.- Jeff. We are up against overwhelming odds and must have a lot of luck to win'." The Tech coaches decided the team should spend Thursday and Friday in the mountains, away from the distractions of the city, for their final preparations. "The Skibos feel they can take the scalp of the Panthers again, despite the fact of the heavy odds."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Carnegie Tech
Coach Sutherland was leery: "You can say it for me that I fear Carnegie. To my mind they are every bit as strong as last year, and though they do not have Jimmy Robertson, I do not propose to take them lightly...Bastian is a threat all the time and one who will have to be guarded closely...Newman is a punter of no mean ability.."  No one was badly bruised in the Johns Hopkins game so Sutherland was able use the same starting lineup against the Tartans.

Harry Camins of The Gazette Times noted: "The student bands of the two well-known local institutions will be on hand to supply the music.. They will certainly make a pleasing picture; Carnegie's band attired in their kilts, Pitt's in their natty gold and blue regalia... The antics of the cheerleaders are not likely to go unnoticed."

The Gazette Times reported: "As the glorious, golden October sun was making its disappearance over the western portals of the city, Carnegie Tech stood over the prostrate form of the Pitt Panther, who fell exhausted within two yards of knotting the count and possibly emerging victorious by a one-point margin, on the battle-torn gridiron at Forbes Field yesterday afternoon. The score was 6 to 0 in the Tartan's favor enabling them to retain the laurels won for the first time in history just about a 12-month ago, emblematic of their football supremacy within the confines of Pittsburgh."

The Pitt Weekly was upbeat: "As to coach Sutherland's boys, they have recovered from the Carnegie fracas, have buried all distracting thoughts about it until next year, and are determined to give all they have to secure a victory over the Orange." Coach Sutherland will start the same eleven that faced Carnegie except for Andy Gustafson replacing Oliver Harris at fullback.

"A great Orange 'bubble' burst with electric suddenness in Archbold Stadium here this afternoon, when Syracuse, heralded as possible Eastern champion, met an equally brilliant Pitt eleven, and could wrest no better than a 7-7 tie from an hour of throbbing football. Marching triumphantly into the final quarter with an apparently firm grasp on a seven point lead, the Orange was confounded when the Panther seized upon a fumble by Chester Bowman of Olympic sprint fame, struck boldly for the Syracuse goal and pushed big Andy Gustafson over for six points. Even then there was still a slim chance that the invaders would err in trying for the seventh point, but Milo Gwosden and his unfailing toe rushed into the breach, accurately sent the pigskin skimming above the cross bar and the battle was a deadlock."

For the third time this season coach Jock Sutherland and his Panthers will battle a team led by a former Pitt Panther and "Pop" Warner protege. The Geneva Covenanters are led by former Pitt lineman Jack Sack. The Genevans are 2-3 on the season, having beaten St. Bonaventure 14-0 the previous weekend. According to The Pittsburgh Press: "Coach Jack Sack has been working overtime with his charges, and has them in fine fettle physically and has keyed them up to a real fighting pitch. They have been given some special plays for use today, and are prepared to play their heads off to win."

The Pitt Athletic Department sent invitations to all area high school coaches to bring their teams to the game and also extended invitations to the Home for Crippled Children and Boys' Clubs in the Pittsburgh area. "There will be a lot of youthful enthusiasts on hand many of them possibly seeing their first college game."

On Saturday morning Coach Sutherland mentioned to The Pittsburgh Press that he would start his first team, but at game time he had a change of strategy. Marsh Johnson at center and Carl Sauer at left end  were the only first teamers on the field for the kick-off.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Geneva
The Philadelphia Inquirer headline summed up the game: "Pitt's Scrubs Outplay Geneva and Win, 13-0." Ollie Harris scored both touchdowns in the second quarter. Milo Gwosden was good on the second extra point to account for the 13 points. Pitt had a scoring opportunity in the first period after a sustained drive from midfield but halfback J. W. Evans fumbled into the end zone. Coach Sutherland substituted freely and experimented with various lineups. Geneva finished the season with a 3-4-2 record.

Ralph S. Davis of The Pittsburgh Press was not happy with the Panther coaching staff:


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Geneva
"After the Pitt management had announced in advance of last Saturday's game that the entire first team would be started against Geneva, Sauer and Johnson were the only men who might be regarded as regulars who were in the lineup. The reason assigned for such a lineup as Pitt presented probably is that the regulars were being saved for W. & J. This explanation is hardly satisfying to those who paid their money to see the Panthers in action.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Geneva
Moreover, the policy of a coach in keeping his men out of one game to prepare them for another to follow admits of question as to its sanity. The best way to condition a football team is to keep it working. Certainly it cannot be said that the Pitt team has nothing to learn. And it would have been no harder on the regulars to have them play against Geneva than it will be to have them scrimmage against other members of the Pitt squad this week."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Geneva
The Pitt lineup for the game against Geneva was Carl Sauer (left end), Harold Akins (left tackle), Howard Linn (left guard), Marsh Johnson (center), Wendell Steele (right guard), Thomas Murdoch (right tackle), Milo Gwosden (right end), Jesse Brown (quarterback), J. W. Evans (left halfback), Carl McCutcheon (right halfback) and Oliver Harris (fullback). Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Floyd Snyder, William Ashbaugh, Clyde Jack, Henry Schmitt, Frank Benedict, Herman Riester, Joseph Archibald and Michael Meyer. The game was played in 15-minute quarters.

The next contest on the schedule was against the W. & J. Presidents. This was the twenty-fifth meeting and the series was tied at 12-12. "Pitt may have its Lafayette games, its Penn games, its West Virginia and Carnegie games – and they are all important and interesting – but for sheer, unalloyed enthusiasm, the annual Pitt W. & J. tangles takes the cake and the cream coating." Coach David C. Morrow has his team at 6-1 on the season with their only loss to Pitt nemesis Lafayette.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Jefferson
There is no evidence of overconfidence as they try to put a stop to Pitt's two game win streak in the series, as coach Morrow stressed: "I have never seen a Pitt team that was weak when we encountered it." The Presidents will be without "Francis Niehaus, the hardest-hitting back in either stable, and Cad Reese, the Red and Black's most skillful field director."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Jefferson
Coach Sutherland replaced William Ashbaugh at quarterback with Jesse Brown in the starting lineup. He made no predictions on the outcome but felt his team would play their best and not fail him.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Jefferson
"Washington & Jefferson College did what was expected and defeated the University of Pittsburgh 10 to 0, at Forbes Field this afternoon." A 25-yard field goal by the Presidents' end "Tus" Edwards late in the third period broke the scoreless tie. On their next possession, the Presidents again moved into scoring territory and Edwards attempted another 25-yard field goal. The kick was low and Pitt gained possession on their 20-yard line. On first down John Harding fumbled on a double pass and Ray Ride, substitute W. & J. lineman, scooped up the pigskin on the ten yard line and lumbered into the end zone unmolested. Edwards converted the point after and the Washington & Jefferson fans celebrated.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Washington & Jefferson
Pitt's statistics show they came to play as they earned 13 first downs to the Presidents 8. The Panthers completed 11 of 23 passes for 125 yards and gained 138 yards by rushing. Their Achillies heal was fumbles and penalties at inopportune times during the game. Ralph Davis of The Pittsburgh Press pondered: "It is extremely hard to understand why Pitt fumbles so much. She has been guilty of it all season, and certainly the coaches should take extreme measures to overcome the tendency. W. & J. deserved to win, because she proved herself to be a team of opportunists. Pitt deserved to lose, because she provided the opportunities of which the Red and Black took advantage."

The Pitt lineup for the game against Washington and Jefferson was Blair McMillin (left end), Zoner Wissinger (left tackle), Ulhard Hangartner (left guard), Marsh Johnson (center), Noble Frank (right guard), Ralph Chase (right tackle), John Kifer (right end), Jesse Brown (quarterback), Joseph Schmitt (left halfback), John Harding (right halfback) and Andy Gustafson (fullback). Substitutes appearing in the game for Pitt were Carl Sauer, Harold Akins, Wendell Steele, Milo Gwosden, William Ashbaugh, Carl McCutcheon and Oliver Harris.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
The Pitt Weekly noted: "Pitt will bring down the curtain on the 1924 football season tomorrow, our friendly rivals from Penn State being the attraction...Statistics show that Pitt and State have both won 12 games and have tied two of the 26 contests.... The big feature of tomorrow's contest is that it is the last to be played at Forbes Field." "It is a real relief to the athletic authorities to bid farewell to Forbes Field, especially in view of the fact that the football ticket situation there has become intolerable... With the stadium available in 1925, and almost every seat in it affording a good view of the game, the ticket problems will be solved for some years to come."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
Hugo Bezdek has the State eleven at 6-2-1 on the season. His team's strength is the line led by two All-Americans - tackle Jules Prevost  and guard William House. It has been 5 years since Penn State beat Pitt. Chester Smith of The Gazette Times wrote: "State's opportunity this fall is golden." "On the dope, the Lions should win by a narrow margin. They appear to be steadier than the Panthers with a trifle better offense."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
"As for coach Sutherland's charges, they have lost no time since the W. & J. game, and for over a week have been practicing with one thought uppermost in their minds – 'Beat Penn State.' Spirited away at the end of last week to the quiet of Mountain View Hotel near Ligonier, the entire squad has been polished and primed by 'Jock' for the supreme test. The Panthers know they face the stiffest foe of the entire season, and have their backs to the wall, prepared to fight to the last."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
Ralph Davis of The Pittsburgh Press reiterated his concern about the Pitt miscues: "If he (Coach Sutherland) has insisted on his men doing no foul holding in the line; if he has improved their tackling and if he has taught them to hold a football without fumbling, then the Panthers have a good chance to upset the dope... A team which is not up on fundamentals can hardly expect to triumph against an outfit of Penn State's caliber."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
"Pittsburgh today treated 33,000 football fans to the surprise of their lives by giving Penn State one of the worst lickings in the history of the contests between the two institutions. The score was 24 to 3, and many who saw the complete rout of Hugo Bezdek's charges agree that the score hardly tells the story of how completely outclassed the Centre countians were."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
Penn State scored early in the first period as All-American tackle Jules Prevost booted a 36-yard field goal. State would not come close to scoring again. Milo Gwosden missed a field goal in the first period. Early in the second quarter he had his second attempt blocked by State guard Michalske, but Gwosden recovered it and Pitt kept possession on the State 20-yard line. Four plays later, Andy Gustafson plunged into the end zone for the go-ahead score. Gwosden flubbed the extra point.


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
Halftime score: Pitt 6,  State 3. "Quarterback Jesse Brown gave Pitt a 12–3 lead in the third quarter on a touchdown run, then Gwosden, subbing for end John Kifer, tried to make up for his other miscues with a TD run that made it 18-3. Naturally, Gwosden blew his own extra point. Halfback Carl McCutcheon accounted for Pitt's final score in the last quarter."


1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, Penn State
Pitt dominated. Pitt earned 11 first downs to State's 3; Pitt completed 5 of 9 passes for 91 yards; State completed 1 of 5 passes; Pitt gained 315 total yards to 119 for State. Ralph S. Davis of The Press praised: "There have been some startling metamorphoses on the gridiron this fall, but none more sensational than that noticeable in the Pitt team yesterday."

1924 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Postseason
"Now that (the season) is all over, Coach Sutherland deserves something better than honorable mention. He deserves a hearty hand clasp and praise from every loyal son of Pitt. Very few know the handicaps under which this taciturn Scot worked all season. His team was licked by Lafayette, Wash-Jeff and Carnegie Tech, and yet he took his medicine like a man, stuck to his task and worked wonders with a team that had been crushed by Wash-Jeff two weeks ago, brought order out of chaos and placed eleven fighting men on the gridiron for State. The team played real football. Those who predicted that the bottom would drop out of football at Pitt after Pop Warner had left, now have an opportunity to revamp their opinions. Good work, Jock."

The German People's Party also lost a portion of the gains it had made in the previous election. The National Socialist Freedom Party, a branch of the Nazi Party formed after the Beer Hall Putsch, won 2.5% of the vote and 11 seats.

1924 Republican National Convention
The 1924 National Convention of the Republican Party of the United States was held in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Public Auditorium from June 10 to 12.


1924 Republican National Convention
President Calvin Coolidge was nominated for a full term and went on to win the general election. The convention nominated Illinois Governor Frank Lowden for vice president on the second ballot, but he declined the nomination. The convention then selected Charles G. Dawes. Also considered for the nomination was Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, a future vice president.


1924 Republican National Convention, Delegates
For this convention the method of allocating delegates changed in order to reduce the overrepresentation of the South. This effort proved only partly successful as Southern delegates proved to be more overrepresented than they had been in 1916 or 1920, though they were not as overrepresented as they had been in 1912 and earlier.


1924 Republican National Convention, Delegates
There were 120 women delegates, 11% of the total. The Republican National Committee approved a rule providing for a national committeeman and a national committeewoman from each state.


1924 Republican National Convention, Ku Klux Klan presence
Time featured the imperial wizard in a cover photograph in conjunction with an article about the organization's role in the Republican convention dubbing it "the Kleveland Konvention." Some delegates supported adding a condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan by name into the party platform, but they lacked enough support to bring their proposed language to a vote. The head of the KKK, Imperial Wizard Hiram Wesley Evans, was in the city for the convention but maintained a low public profile.


1924 Republican National Convention, Republican candidates
Coolidge faced a challenge from California Senator Hiram Johnson and Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette in the 1924 Republican primaries. Coolidge fended off his progressive challengers with convincing wins in the Republican primaries, and was assured of the 1924 presidential nomination by the time the convention began. After his defeat in the primaries, La Follette ran a third party candidacy that attracted significant support.


1924 Republican National Convention, Vice Presidential nomination
As Calvin Coolidge had ascended to the presidency following the death of Warren G. Harding on 2 August 1923, he served the remainder of Harding's term without a vice president as the 25th Amendment had not yet been passed. This also left the Convention with the task of choosing a running mate for Coolidge.


1924 Republican National Convention, Vice Presidential nomination
With Coolidge having locked up the presidential nomination, most attention was focused on the vice presidential nomination. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover of California and appellate judge William Kenyon of Iowa were seen as the front-runners for the nomination, as both were popular Western progressives who could provide balance to a ticket led by a conservative from Massachusetts. Coolidge's first choice was reported to be Idaho Senator William E. Borah, also a progressive Westerner, but Borah declined to be considered.


1924 Republican National Convention, Vice Presidential nomination
Illinois Governor Frank O. Lowden, University of Michigan president Marion Leroy Burton, Ambassador Charles B. Warren of Michigan, Washington Senator Wesley Livsey Jones, college president John Lee Coulter of North Dakota, General James Harbord, and General Charles Dawes also had support as potential running mates. Despite saying that he would not accept the nomination, Lowden was nominated for Vice President on the second ballot over Dawes, Kenyon, and Ohio Representative Theodore E. Burton. However, Lowden declined the nomination, an action, that as of 2020, has never been repeated, and is now considered unthinkable. The Republicans then held a new vice presidential ballot, with Coolidge favoring Hoover. However, the Republicans picked Dawes, partly as a reaction to the perceived dominance of Coolidge in running the convention.


1924 Republican National Convention, Prayers
Each of the three days of the convention opened with a lengthy invocation by a different clergymen—one Methodist, one Jewish, one Catholic. Each was listed among the convention officers as an official chaplain.


1924 Republican National Convention, Prayers
On June 10, the opening prayer was given by William F. Anderson, Methodist Episcopal bishop of Boston. Among other things, he called for "stricter observance of the law and the preservation of the Constitution of the United States", in other words, for more zealous enforcement of Prohibition.


1924 Republican National Convention, Prayers
The next day's session was opened by Rev. Dr. Samuel Schulman, rabbi of Temple Beth-El in New York. Schulman spoke with appreciation for "the Republican Party's precious heritage of the championship of human rights"; he called for "every form of prejudice and misunderstanding" to be "driven forever out of our land". Speaking of Calvin Coolidge, he praised "the integrity, the wisdom, the fearlessness of our beloved President".


1924 Republican National Convention, Prayers
On June 12, the final day's invocation was given by Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph Schrembs of Cleveland. Schrembs characterized President Calvin Coolidge as "a chieftain whose record of faithful public service, and whose personality, untarnished and untainted by the pollution of political corruption, will fill the heart of America with the new hope of a second spring".


1924 Republican Party presidential primaries
From March 12 to June 7, 1924, voters of the Republican Party chose its nominee for president in the 1924 United States presidential election. Only 17 states held Republican primaries that year, with most states selecting Convention delegates through caucuses and state-level conventions. Delegates chose through the primary process (in those states that held primary elections) attended the 1924 Republican National Convention held from June 10 to June 12, 1924, in Cleveland, Ohio.

1924 Rose Bowl
The 1924 Rose Bowl was a postseason American college football bowl game played between the independent Navy Midshipmen and the Washington Huskies, a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC). The game took place on January 1, 1924, at the  Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California, closing the 1923 college football season. The game opened in front of approximately 40,000 people and ended in a 14–14 tie. It was the first post-season bowl game for both teams. The 1924 game was the tenth edition of the Rose Bowl, which had first been played in 1902. Following the inaugural game's blowout score, football was replaced with chariot races until 1916. The Rose Bowl stadium had been constructed in 1923, making this edition the second game played in the arena.


1924 Rose Bowl
The game's organizers had previously selected a team from the East Coast and the West Coast, and asked the Washington Huskies to represent the West Coast. Washington requested that the Navy Midshipmen be their opponents, and Navy accepted. Washington selected Navy in favor of several teams from the east which had amassed better records. Both teams had suffered only a single loss during the season, but Washington had won eight games compared with Navy's five, although Navy had also amassed two ties. Predictions gave Washington a slight advantage in the game due to the weight difference between the teams: the Washington players were on average 10 pounds (4.5 kg) heavier than those of Navy.


1924 Rose Bowl
The game kicked off in the afternoon; heavy rain showers had fallen the day before, causing a slight delay. The first quarter was scoreless, but Navy scored a touchdown on the first play of the second quarter. Washington answered Navy with a 23-yard touchdown run on the next drive. Near the end of the second quarter, Navy scored a touchdown on a two-yard run, giving them a 14–7 halftime lead. The third quarter was a defensive stalemate as neither team scored. Navy fumbled the ball on their own ten-yard line late in the quarter. Four plays afterward, Washington tied the game on a 12-yard touchdown pass. Navy threw an interception at midfield, and Washington drove down to the Navy 20-yard line before attempting a game-winning field goal. The kick missed and the game ended shortly afterwards.


1924 Rose Bowl
For his performance in the game, Navy quarterback Ira McKee was named the Most Valuable Player. Navy led in nearly every statistical aspect of the contest. Washington returned to the Rose Bowl at the end of the 1925 season, falling to the Alabama Crimson Tide 20–19. Navy did not participate in another bowl game until 1955, when their squad, nicknamed the "team named desire", upset the Ole Miss Rebels in the Sugar Bowl. Since the 1924 Rose Bowl, Navy and Washington have met five more times; the Huskies won three of the games.


1924 Rose Bowl, Team selection
The Rose Bowl game was first played in 1902, as a way to help fund the Rose Parade. Because of the first contest's lopsided score, a football game was not played again until 1916, having been replaced by chariot races. Between 1902 and 1947, the Rose Bowl was played between a team from the East Coast and a team from the West Coast. Until the construction of the Rose Bowl stadium, which began hosting the game in 1923, it was called the "Tournament East–West football game".


1924 Rose Bowl, Team selection
Because the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was the only conference with teams located in the Western United States, a school from the conference had been chosen for every Rose Bowl game. The tournament committee invited the University of Washington Huskies to participate in the 1924 game, and they accepted. Washington was then allowed by the organization to select its opponent for the game—the first time a team was allowed to do so. Washington chose the Navy Midshipmen based on a suggestion from the committee, and Navy accepted the invitation.


1924 Rose Bowl, Team selection, Navy
The Navy Midshipmen entered the Rose Bowl under coach Bob Folwell with five wins, one loss, and two ties (5–1–2). Navy's sole loss in the 1923 season came in their annual game against Penn State, which they lost 21–3. All five of Navy's wins came against eastern teams, including Colgate and William and Mary, and two of Navy's wins were shutouts, against Colgate and Saint Xavier. Navy tied 0–0 with Army in the 1923 Army–Navy Game, the last game of the season, played on November 23 in front of nearly 70,000 spectators—including high-ranking military officials.


1924 Rose Bowl, Team selection, Navy
Their other tie was a 3–3 game against Princeton. Navy was selected by Washington to participate in the Rose Bowl, although several teams with better records were eligible. Both Cornell and Yale finished the season with an undefeated 8–0 record. Eleven teams finished with only one loss, including Furman (10–1), Notre Dame (9–1), and the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) (9–1).


1924 Rose Bowl, Team selection, Washington
The Washington Huskies entered the 1924 Rose Bowl with a record of eight wins and one loss (8–1) under coach Enoch Bagshaw. Washington opened their season with victories over teams from the battleships Mississippi and New York; because these teams did not represent colleges, they were not considered an official part of Washington's schedule. Washington's first official game ended with a 34–0 shutout of Willamette, which was followed by four more shutouts.

1924 Rose Bowl, Pre-game buildup
The 1924 Rose Bowl was the first meeting between Navy and Washington, and was the first bowl game that either team participated in. The competitors were announced on November 30, 1923, and the teams arrived for the bowl in mid-December, holding practices until the evening before the game. Heavy rain fell the night before the competition; Bagshaw said, "Wet weather will not bother us", and Folwell said, "My men will know what to do in the mud and will be there doing it".


1924 Rose Bowl, Pre-game buildup
However, because of the wet conditions, several football critics predicted that Washington would have a slight advantage in the game due to their larger size. It was estimated that 52,000 people would attend the game. For the first time, the participating teams were responsible for ticket sales, and as a result only 40,000 people actually attended; a large number of tickets were sold to a navy fleet which was called to service on December 31, the day before the game. The competition was the first Rose Bowl to be broadcast on radio, and was aired by a local Pasadena station.


1924 Rose Bowl, Pre-game buildup, Navy
During the 1923 football season, the Navy Midshipmen outscored their opponents 133–43, led by quarterback Ira McKee, who threw several touchdown passes throughout the year. Navy's other offensive strong point was running back Carl Cullen, who ran for several hundred yards during the season. The Navy defense was considered weak by football critics, with an average player weight 10 pounds (4.5 kg) less than that of Washington. Navy's defense had stopped running plays successfully during the regular season, but had trouble defending pass plays. Navy's special teams were considered by critics to be decent, about even with those of Washington.


1924 Rose Bowl, Pre-game buildup, Washington
The Washington Huskies had outscored their opponents 203–37 during the regular season, excluding the games against New York and Mississippi. Washington's running backs, George Wilson and Elmer Tesreau, led their offense during the season, each gaining several hundred rushing yards. However, Tesreau was suffering from boils on his knee, and his coaches urged him to not play in the Rose Bowl. The Washington defense was considered superior to that of Navy, being much larger on average. Washington's defense had been very effective during the regular season, holding five teams scoreless and allowing more than ten points to be scored against them only once. Washington's special teams were considered to be average.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary
The kickoff for the Rose Bowl was originally scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on January 1, 1924, but the night before the game, a meeting of the Rose Bowl organization rescheduled the kickoff time to 2:16 p.m. the same day. This was likely due to poor field conditions caused by the previous night's rain. The opening ceremonies were the most elaborate of any bowl game up to that time, with numerous events held. Navy admiral Samuel Shelburne Robison received an admiral's salute from Navy's band when he took his seat.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary
The Navy band and the color guard of the marines performed the National Anthem, then the marine color guard hoisted the U.S. flag over the field. Both teams' mascots were walked around the field before the kickoff. The Tournament of Roses predicted that tickets would be sold out by the day of the game, but actual ticket sales were much lower than they had hoped. Still, sales were higher than those of several previous competitions.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary, First half
The game began at the rescheduled time, with a temperature of 52 °F (11 °C) and the field still wet. Because of the playing conditions, running plays were ineffective, which caused problems for the Washington offense. Navy instead used passing plays, which the Washington defense had trouble stopping. Navy was driving down to the 22-yard line of Washington when the first quarter ended. Navy controlled the first quarter, completing all six passing attempts and holding the Washington offense to under 100 yards gained.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary, First half
On their first play of the second quarter, Navy scored a touchdown on a pass play from Ira McKee to Carl Cullen. McKee kicked the extra point for Navy, giving them a 7–0 lead. In an attempt to trick Washington, Navy tried an onside kick on the next play, but Washington recovered the ball. After two short running plays, Washington quarterback Fred Abel completed a 23-yard pass to running back Kinsley Dubois, bringing Washington inside the 25-yard line. On the next play, running back George Wilson ran the ball 23 yards for a touchdown.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary, First half
Washington's kicker converted the extra point to tie the game at 7–7. After several drives from each team that did not result in further scoring, Navy completed a 57-yard pass down to the Washington eight-yard line. Two plays later, Ira McKee ran the ball in from two yards out for a touchdown, then afterward converted the extra point. The first half ended with Navy leading by 14–7, having completed all 11 passes they attempted.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary, Second half
Both teams' defenses controlled the third quarter, allowing no points to be scored. Navy's McKee completed three more pass plays before his first incompletion, which came on his fourteenth attempt. Washington's offense had little success in the third quarter, being held to only a few yards gained and turning the ball over once. In the fourth quarter, after several unsuccessful drives by each team, Navy made a major error. After being stopped on their own 26-yard line, Navy improperly lined up in a punt formation, and the center snapped the ball over the punter's head.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary, Second half
The ball was recovered by Washington on the Navy ten-yard line. Washington lost two yards in three plays, and faced a fourth down from the Navy 12-yard line. Washington stacked their offensive line, allowing their left guard, James Bryan, to become an eligible receiver. Fred Abel passed the ball to Bryan, who caught it just short of the goal line and walked into the end zone for the touchdown. Washington's kicker then converted the extra point, tying the game at 14.


1924 Rose Bowl, Game summary, Second half
Navy received the ball from Washington and began to throw it erratically. After gaining several yards, Ira McKee threw an interception near midfield. On the next play, Fred Abel threw a long pass to George Wilson, who was tackled on the Navy 20-yard line after gaining 30 yards. Washington brought out their placekicker, Leonard Ziel, to kick a 32-yard field goal, which would have won them the game. Ziel kicked the ball about a yard short of the right upright, giving the ball back to Navy with the game still tied. A few plays later the game ended in a 14–14 tie.


1924 Rose Bowl, Statistical summary
For his performance in the 1924 Rose Bowl, Navy quarterback Ira McKee was awarded Most Valuable Player (MVP) honors.

Washington running back Elmer Tesreau was given the game's Ironman Award, though he had little effect on the game. Against the urging of his coaches, Tesreau had played with boils completely covering one knee. He left near the end of the game, and was later discovered to have broken his previously unaffected leg in multiple places.


1924 Rose Bowl, Statistical summary
Navy's McKee threw for a perfect 11 of 11 passes during the first half, but completed just five of nine attempts during the second half. Two of these incompletions were interceptions. McKee outthrew Washington's Fred Abel by 110 yards. Carl Cullen was McKee's main receiver for the game, catching ten passes from him, one of which was taken for a touchdown. The other six passes were caught by other receivers. On the ground, Cullen rushed for the most yards of any player, gaining 102 throughout the course of the game. McKee was Navy's key runner, gaining 85 yards. Cullen, McKee, fullback Alan Shapley, and other team members rushed for a total of 187 yards during the game. McKee completed both extra point attempts, and the squad's punter kicked five times, for an average distance of 33.8 yards.

Washington's kicker Leonard Zeil was two for two on extra points, but missed his only field goal attempt. Washington punted nine times, averaging 33 yards per attempt.


1924 Rose Bowl, Aftermath
The tie gave Washington an 8–1–1 record for the 1923 season, the second best in school history up to that point. It remained behind the 1916 season, when the squad went 6–0–1. Navy's record went to 5–1–3, a slight improvement from the previous year, when the team went 5–2. It became Navy's eighth straight winning season.


1924 Rose Bowl, Aftermath

They lost the game to the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 20–19. Washington finished the 1920s with an overall record of 65–26–6; Bagshaw coached the team for every season except 1920, when they were under the leadership of Stub Allison. Navy finished the 1924 season with a 2–6 record, ending their number of consecutive winning seasons at eight.


1924 Rose Bowl, Aftermath
The Navy football team was not invited to participate in another bowl game until 1955, when the "team named desire", so named due to coach Eddie Erdelatz comparing the squad to the play A Streetcar Named Desire, defeated the Ole Miss Rebels in the Sugar Bowl 21–0. Navy finished the 1920s with a record of 55–22–8; nine of the ten seasons ended in winning records. Navy's coach, Bob Folwell, left the team after the 1924 season, to be replaced by Jack Owsley. Navy and Washington have since met five times, with Washington currently leading the series 3–2–1.


1924 Rose Bowl, Aftermath
Because the 1924 Rose Bowl and several later Rose Bowls had very high ticket sales, the Tournament of Roses Association decided to close off the southern end of the Rose Bowl stadium and expand the seating from a horseshoe design to one that surrounded the entire field. The 1924 game was the first in which the Tournament of Roses made participating schools responsible for ticket sales. The strategy has been used since, with only a small number of tickets allocated to Tournament officials for each yearly edition.

The Letters Patent granting the colony the right to self-government in 1923 made no change to the pre-existing franchise.

In addition, voters had to meet one of three criteria for their financial means: either occupy property worth £150 in their Electoral District, or own a registered mining claim within the colony (for which residence was not required), or receive annual salary of £100 in the colony.


1924 Southern Rhodesian general election, Electoral system
The Letters Patent created a legislative assembly with 30 members, and for simplicity the 15 electoral districts set the previous year for the Legislative Council were used for the new assembly, but with each district returning two members. Voters were therefore entitled to two votes.
