Sir George Thomas successfully defended the men's singles title for a third consecutive year as did Kitty McKane in the women's singles. Thomas and Hazel Hogarth secured a fourth consecutive mixed doubles title (the first won in 1914) and if it was not for the war years the number would surely have been much higher.

By the time the semi-final was to be played, the Connacht championship was not finished, so Sligo were nominated to represent Connacht. When Galway beat Sligo in the Connacht final, they were given Sligo's place in the All-Ireland semi-final. INCORRECT! Sligo beat Galway in the Connacht final, then beat Tipperary in the semi-final, but Galway objected to Sligo's Connacht final victory and a replay was ordered. A depleted Sligo team lost to Galway, who then took Sligo's place in the final against Dublin.

Galway were lucky to have even been there in the first place. Sligo had won that year's Connacht Senior Football Championship, defeating Roscommon, Mayo and Galway, before disposing of Tipperary in their subsequent All-Ireland semi-final meeting. However, "a flimsy technicality" led to a replay of the Galway versus Sligo Connacht final, which Sligo lost. Galway were now Connacht champions and elevated into the All-Ireland Senior Football Final at Sligo's expense. Sligo were left with ... nothing.

1922 Allan Cup
The 1922 Allan Cup was the senior ice hockey championship of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) for the 1921–22 season.


1922 Allan Cup
CAHA president W. R. Granger oversaw the final series between the Toronto Granites and the Regina Victorias hosted in Toronto. Despite that it had been a recurring practice for each team to choose one of the two on-ice officials for the series, Granger scheduled two referees from Montreal when the Granites protested the referee chosen from Western Canada. Discussion ensued at the CAHA annual meeting being hosted in Toronto at the same time as the series, and a vote of the branch presidents confirmed that the practice of one referee each from Eastern and Western Canada should be used.


1922 Allan Cup
The CAHA also decided that Eastern and Western Canada should take turns hosting the final series for the Allan Cup. The CAHA also approved that the reigning Allan Cup champions could challenge for the Hamilton B. Wills Trophy as an international series with the amateur champions of the United States Amateur Hockey Association.


1922 American Cup
The 1922 American Cup tournament was not held. In accordance with new rules passed by the USFA, the American Football Association did not conduct a tournament for the 1921-22 season. The hiatus was brief, though, with the tournament resuming the following season.


1922 American Cup, History
On previous occasions the tournament was either diminished or not held. The period from 1899-1905, the tournament was not held because the AFA had disbanded, for mostly economic reasons. In 1905 the opportunity  for re-establishment arose and the tournament resumed.


1922 American Cup, History
The tournament was next affected in the 1916-17 season, by rules adopted in the Southern New England FA. With Massachusetts teams forced to choose just  one out-of-state tournament, most chose the National Challenge Cup. The 1917 edition went on as planned, but the AFA suffered a financial loss from the withdrawals of the Massachusetts squads.


1922 American Cup, Ruling
The situation in 1922 was far more serious. The USFA established a new rule that allowed only for State Cup competitions in addition to the National Cup. With the AFA operating out of New Jersey, the new ruling would not allow for the other major districts that regularly took part in the American Cup (NE, NY, and E.Pa.) to compete, leaving only New Jersey participating. Thus, with an insufficient number of entries to conduct a viable tournament, the AFA was forced to abandon the 1922 edition.


1922 American Cup, Holders
The Robins Dry Dock squad of Brooklyn had won the two previous editions of the tournament, the second of which was paired with a National Challenge Cup win to complete 'the double'. Robins had merged with the Tebo Yacht Basin team to become the Todd Shipyards, which finished runner-up in the 1922 National Cup, giving credibility to a potential repeat as American Cup champions had they been able to defend their title. Many of the Todds players made their way to Paterson F.C. for the 1922/23 season, strengthening them sufficiently to win the National Cup; however, they fell shy of the American Cup, losing out in the semifinals.


1922 Argentine Primera División

1922 Argentine general election
The 1922 Argentine general election was held on 2 April 1922, in which Marcelo T. de Alvear was elected to the office of the president representing the Radical Civic Union (UCR). Voter turnout for the election was 55.3%, with the UCR garnering a plurality at 51% of the popular vote and carrying 9 of the 14 provinces of Argentina.


1922 Argentine general election, Background
Hipólito Yrigoyen's presidency had been marked by massive contradictions. One of the founders in 1891 of Argentina's first successful pluralist party, the Radical Civic Union (UCR), Yrigoyen filled 5 of his 8 cabinet positions with conservatives from the party that had monopolized power since 1874, the National Autonomists. He expounded on the virtues of "true suffrage," but removed 18 willful governors - including 4 of the UCR's own. He mediated numerous labor conflicts; but proved unable to control police and military brutality against striking workers. The resulting wave of violence was compounded by the creation of the paramilitary Argentine Patriotic League by a reactionary faction in the Argentine upper class, while Yrigoyen (and the courts) remained largely silent on these developments. Over two thousand strikers perished - some burned alive in silos.


1922 Argentine general election, Background
Still, he advanced an array of reforms, including the country's first meaningful pension, collective bargaining and land reform laws, as well as expanded access to higher education and the creation of the first significant State enterprise (the oil concern, YPF). Argentina's economy rebounded strongly from World War I-related shortages of goods and credit, and Yrigoyen's vigorous labor policy helped translate this into record living standards.


1922 Argentine general election, Background
Yrigoyen prepared to leave office, though not the reins of power; beset by growing rivalries within the UCR itself, he turned to one of the co-founders of the UCR: the Ambassador to France, Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear. The scion of one of Argentina's traditional landed families, the well-mannered Alvear placated Yrigoyen's fears of losing control over his Radical Civic Union, a risk Yrigoyen insured himself against by placing his personal friend and former Buenos Aires Police Chief Elpidio González as Alvear's running mate.


1922 Argentine general election, Background
The conservative  opposition in Congress that had dogged Yrigoyen early in his tenure had largely been overcome by 1920 through a string of electoral victories. The Senate, however, which was indirectly elected at the time, firmly entrenched in conservative hands only by a series of removal decrees that left 9 vacancies by 1922.


1922 Argentine general election, Background
Most other important parties followed suit and, rather than put forth their paramount figures as candidates, they fell back on backbenchers with a reformist bent. Conservatives formed an alliance, the National Concentration, but did not nominate their most prominent figure, former Buenos Aires Province Governor Marcelino Ugarte. They instead nominated instead a respected reformer, criminal law attorney, named Norberto Piñero. Piñero had helped a needed overhaul of Argentina's penal code in 1890, a record his backers hoped could, in voters' minds, separate the hastily formed National Concentration from its ties to the violent Argentine Patriotic League.


1922 Argentine general election, Background
An increasingly respected Lisandro de la Torre who had been unable to promote his Democratic Progressive Party into an effective centrist alternative to the UCR, chose former Education Minister Dr. Carlos Ibarguren as the nominee. Argentine Socialists, led by Senator Juan B. Justo, nominated one of his closest collaborators, and, a leader in Argentina's cooperative movement, the respected Deputy Nicolás Repetto.


1922 Argentine general election, Background
The abbreviated campaign resulted in another, landslide victory for the UCR. The party retained the Presidency overwhelmingly, and won 53 of the 82 Congressional seats at stake, losing only in two provinces controlled by provincial parties, and two controlled by dissident UCR groups; the only Senate race, that of the City of Buenos Aires, was again won by the UCR, as well, and the party ended with 15 of 27 sitting Senators (protracted vacancies excluded). Ambassador Alvear, for his part, did not campaign at all - receiving news for the April 2 results precisely where he received President Yrigoyen's phone call offering him the nomination: in the Argentine Ambassador's residence in Paris.

1922 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1922 Atlantic hurricane season was the first season since 1914 in which no hurricanes made landfall in the United States. Although no "hurricane season" was defined at the time, the present-day delineation of such is June 1 to November 30. The first system, a tropical depression, developed on May 12, while the last, also a tropical depression, dissipated on October 31. Of note, seven of the fourteen cyclones co-existed with another tropical cyclone during the season, including three systems being simultaneously active on September 22.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season
Of the season's fourteen tropical cyclones, five became tropical storms and three strengthened into hurricanes. Furthermore, one of those strengthened into a major hurricane—Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. One of the hurricanes was found in reanalysis in 2009. The most intense tropical cyclone, Hurricane Two, peaked as a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h). Although a small hurricane in terms of size, the storm lashed Bermuda with strong winds and rough seas while nearly striking the island, causing one death and about $250,000 (1922 USD) in damage.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season
Earlier in the season, the early stages and precursor of Tropical Storm One caused extensive flooding in El Salvador in June, leading to at least 100 deaths. The storm and its remnants later caused flooding along the lower Rio Grande. Crop damages alone on the Texas side of the river totaled about $2 million. Although no specific death toll is known, several bodies were seen floating down the river. In October, Hurricane Four caused severe damage and a few fatalities along the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season
The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 55, 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.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
Observations from ships indicated that a tropical depression developed offshore Cabo Gracias a Dios, Nicaragua, on June 12. The depression continued northwestward without significantly intensifying. Heavy rains fell in the Swan Islands of Honduras on June 12 and June 13. Early on June 14, the depression made landfall in Mahahual, Quintana Roo, with winds of 35 mph (55 km/h). The cyclone entered the Gulf of Mexico later that day and began strengthening, reaching tropical storm status early on June 15.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
Around 18:00 UTC, the storm peaked with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,003 mbar (29.6 inHg). The system struck near La Pesca, Tamaulipas, at the same intensity early on June 16. After moving inland, the storm quickly weakened and dissipated by 18:00 UTC.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
In the precursor and early stages of the storm, heavy rains fell in El Salvador. The Acelhuate River overflowed, flooding four densely-populated neighborhoods in the capital city of San Salvador. The floodwaters destroyed or damaged homes, buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure, while killing hundreds of animals and at least 100 people. The storm and its remnants brought heavy rainfall to Rio Grande valley, causing flooding. In Texas, the river at Eagle Pass reached 45.6 ft (13.9 m), 29.6 ft (9.0 m) above flood stage. Two bridges washed away, while businesses and homes were damaged.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm One
Farther down the river, the swollen crest of the Rio Grande and San Juan rivers merged, causing significant flooding in Cameron and Hidalgo counties. Many towns in both counties suffered severe damage. It was estimated that damage to crops alone reached about $2 million. On the Mexico side of the river, water inundated more than 30,000 acres (12,000 ha) of agricultural lands. Infrastructure such as roads, bridges, railroads, and buildings were damaged. Telegraph reports noted that several bodies were seen floating down the Rio Grande at Ciudad Mier. Floodwaters stranded nearly 1,000 farmers in both countries. Aviators acting on behalf of the Red Cross dropped bags of food to those left isolated.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
A northeast-southwest oriented trough developed into a tropical depression about 870 mi (1,400 km) east-southeast of Barbados early on September 13. Initially moving west-northwestward, the depression intensified into a tropical storm several hours later, before curving northwestward the next day. The French S. S. Mont Rose was the first ship to encounter the storm, then centered about 200 mi (320 km) east of Martinique on September 15. The storm then strengthened significantly, becoming a hurricane around 12:00 UTC and then reaching major hurricane intensity by 06:00 UTC on September 16.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
Around that time, the hurricane passed very close to Barbuda, with the island recording sustained winds of 81 mph (130 km/h). The cyclone strengthened slightly over the next few days, with sustained winds peaking at 120 mph (195 km/h) on September 17. By later that day, the system curved northward while centered north of the Mona Passage. Early on September 20, the hurricane began moving north-northeastward.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
Around 12:00 UTC on September 21, the hurricane passed almost directly over Bermuda while still at major hurricane intensity. Significant damage occurred there, as winds peaked at 120 mph (190 km/h), while the coast experienced a storm surge reaching 8 ft (2.4 m) in height, the highest tides observed on the island since the hurricane of 1899. The abnormally high tides flooded numerous homes and streets near the harbor, including the Flatts Bridge. One death occurred at the dockyard after a sailor fell overboard from the H.M.S. Capetown, which was anchored there.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Two
Winds severely damaged a number of buildings, including the Bermuda Cathedral and an old City Hall in Hamilton. Debris littered the streets, including fallen trees and toppled walls. Repairs costs to government buildings was estimated at roughly $221,209, with the overall damage reaching approximately $250,000. The storm began accelerating and weakening later on September 21. By 00:00 UTC on September 23, the system became extratropical about 510 mi (820 km) south of Cape Race, Newfoundland. The remnants slowly weakened while approaching the British Isles, before dissipating over the English Channel on September 28. Several locations in Western Europe recorded mostly light wind speeds in association with the remnants of the storm.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Three
A low pressure area developed into a tropical depression about 75 mi (120 km) east of Florida at 00:00 UTC on September 18. It is estimated that the depression reached tropical storm intensity about 12 hours later, based on ships reporting near-tropical storm force winds. The storm drifted northeast and slowly strengthened, becoming a hurricane on September 20. The system made have interacted with the previous storm, which was at Category 3 intensity and located near Bermuda on September 21.

Intensifying slightly further, the hurricane peaked with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 987 mbar (29.1 inHg) at 12:00 UTC on September 22, with both estimated using observations from a ship and the pressure-wind relationship. However, by September 23, the cyclone weakened to a tropical storm. After briefly accelerating,the storm curved northward and drifted, before being absorbed by an extratropical storm about 165 mi (265 km) southeast of Massachusetts by 00:00 UTC on September 25. This hurricane was not considered a tropical cyclone until reanalysis in 2009. Tropical storm force winds were reported in Florida, North Carolina, and New Jersey.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Four
Historical weather maps suggest that a tropical depression developed about 85 mi (135 km) north-northwest of Barranquilla, Colombia, early on October 11. The depression moved slowly westward and then northwestward without significant intensification for a few days. By October 15, the depression had reached tropical storm status. Late on October 16, the cyclone began intensifying at a quicker pace, becoming the equivalent of a modern-day Category 2 hurricane on October 17. Around 00:00 UTC the next day, it peaked with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (175 km/h). Early on October 18, a ship reported a minimum pressure of 984 mbar (29.06 inHg) near the center, the lowest pressure measured during the life span of the storm.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Four
The hurricane weakened slightly prior to making landfall near Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h) around 12:00 UTC on October 18. Crossing the Yucatán Peninsula, the cyclone weakened to a tropical storm by 00:00 UTC the next day. Early on October 20, the storm emerged into the Bay of Campeche and quickly re-strengthened into a hurricane. The system then drifted slowly south-southwestward. Shortly after 18:00 UTC on October 21, the hurricane made landfall near Paraíso, Tabasco, with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h). The storm rapidly weakened after moving inland and dissipated near Cárdenas by 06:00 UTC the next day.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Four
The storm's precursor caused extensive damage to banana plantations in the Magdalena Department of Colombia. In Quintana Roo, the storm caused significant damage to property and crops along the entire coast, while Cozumel and Isla Mujeres were reportedly left desolate. The hurricane destroyed nearly every home on the latter. A few fatalities occurred in the Yucatán Peninsula. Yucatán governor Felipe Carrillo Puerto estimated that damaged totaled about 60,000 MX$. Several small vessels sank offshore, including the motor canoe Nieves, drowning one passenger. The sloop Rosita also capsized, with only one crewman surviving.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Hurricane Four
About two weeks after the storm, the federal government distributed about 50 tons of corn and 10 tons of beans to the destitute residents. Farther west, several fishing vessels sank and some ocean liners, including the Morro Castle, were stranded outside Veracruz harbor because violent seas made it too dangerous to enter. The hurricane caused considerable damage to shipping in the southern Gulf of Mexico.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Five
A low-pressure area previously associated with a frontal boundary developed into a tropical depression just north of Honduras on October 12. Initially moving northeastward, the depression intensified into a tropical storm around 12:00 UTC on October 13 and then began heading northward. Around 06:00 UTC on October 14, the storm made landfall on Isla de la Juventud, Cuba, with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h), shortly before striking modern-day Artemisa Province at the same intensity. After emerging into the Gulf of Mexico, the storm intensified further, peaking with winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) early on October 15.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical Storm Five
The cyclone then decelerated and weakened, falling to tropical depression status by late the following day. Around 09:00 UTC on October 17, it made landfall near Orange Beach, Alabama, with winds of 30 mph (45 km/h). The storm quickly lost tropical characteristics and was absorbed by a frontal boundary several hours later. It may have been a subtropical storm due to some hybrid characteristics. The system left minimal impact in Cuba and the Gulf Coast of the United States.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical depressions
In addition to the five cyclones reaching at least tropical storm intensity, nine other tropical depressions formed during the season. A trough moving westward through the southwestern Caribbean developed into a tropical depression on May 12. The depression moved northwestward for a few days and failed to intensify. It made landfall in Nicaragua on May 15 and dissipated later that day. On June 14, a low-pressure area developed along the tail-end of a frontal boundary just offshore northeast Florida. By the following day, the low acquired tropical characteristics and likely became a tropical depression.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical depressions
The depression moved generally eastward and dissipated on June 16. A tropical wave developed into a tropical depression just southwest of the Cape Verde Islands on August 1. The depression moved slowly northward and then north-northeastward, before dissipating on August 3 about 60 mi (95 km) south of São Vicente. On August 17, a tropical depression developed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Moving northeastward, the system struck Florida, before emerging in the Atlantic on August 18. The storm moved along the East Coast of the United States and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone by August 20. Its remnants crossed Nova Scotia later that day and Newfoundland on the following day.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical depressions
A weak circulation developed along the axis of a trough situated offshore North Carolina in early September, with a tropical depression forming on September 3. The depression moved southward and likely dissipated by the next day. An inverted trough and a tropical wave merged and briefly developed into a tropical depression well offshore Georgia on September 11. By the next day, the circulation had either dissipated or merged with a cold front. A strong tropical wave developed into a tropical depression between the Cape Verde Islands and Senegal on September 21.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical depressions
Moving generally westward, the depression was last noted between the islands of Fogo and Santiago on September 22. The latter island observed sustained winds of 36 mph (58 km/h). On October 2, a tropical depression likely formed over the eastern Gulf of Mexico about 280 mi (450 km) south of Panama City, Florida. The depression continued westward and may have made landfall in Texas just north of Corpus Christi on October 5. However, there is no evidence of a closed circulation beyond October 3.


1922 Atlantic hurricane season, Systems, Tropical depressions
A tropical depression – possibly subtropical – formed on October 28 over the central Gulf of Mexico. The depression moved northward and made landfall near the Alabama–Mississippi state line on October 31 and quickly dissipated. Pensacola, Florida, recorded a 5-minute wind gust of 43 mph (69 km/h). The depression dropped mostly light rainfall in the area, with 24-hour amounts ranging from 0.5–1 in (13–25 mm).


1922 Auburn Tigers football team
The 1922 Auburn Tigers football team represented Auburn University in the 1922 college football season. It was the Tigers' 31st overall and they competed as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon). The team was led by head coach Mike Donahue, in his 18th year, and played their home games at Drake Field in Auburn, Alabama. They finished with a record of eight wins and two losses (8–2 overall, 2–1 in the SoCon). It was considered one of best teams Auburn turned out in the first half of the 20th century.


1922 Auckland Rugby League season
The 1922 Auckland Rugby League was the 14th in its history. There were 68 teams playing across the various grades. City Rovers won the first grade championship for the 5th time, with Ponsonby winning the Roope Rooster for the 2nd time. City Rovers also defended the Challenge Shield, warding off efforts from Petone, Tongariro, and Huntly to lift it from them. Bill Davidson set a record for points scored in an Auckland club rugby league season with 116 for City Rovers.

He and his brothers Ben and George between them scored 186 of City Rover's 339 points which was also a competition record for a team in a single season. City scored a further 19 points in the Roope Rooster competition and 85 points in their 3 Challenge Shield matches for 443 points in all official games.


1922 Auckland Rugby League season
It was an incredibly busy year for the Auckland representative team. They played more matches than some club teams had played in earlier seasons with ten matches in total. There was also an Auckland Provincial team match against New South Wales, and one Auckland B fixture with the team making the trip down to Cambridge to play the local side. Bill Davidson also led the representative team in scoring with 37 points.

At a pre-season meeting of the management committee it was discussed that Carlaw Park needed more ‘modern equipment’, and it was decided that “the establishment of more modern methods of dealing with the turf and the purchase of more efficient machinery shall be an early charge on the new season's funds”. Sufficient money was made from gates at club and rep fixtures at Carlaw Park and the Auckland Domain to begin improvements on the ground at the conclusion of the season.

The Maritime club also changed their name to ‘Athletic’. Their club colours were also changed from red, white and blue to royal blue with a gold band. In 1926 they were to change their name again to Grafton Athletic. This was not to be confused with Grafton Athletic who had existed as a team from 1914–1920 under the leadership of Karl Ifwersen and were presently playing under the name of 'Fire Brigade'.

Richmond Rovers applied for entry into the Senior A Grade competition and this was approved. This made the competition an even 8 teams meaning 4 matches per round and no byes. Unlike most previous seasons there were no byes, no defaults, and no postponed matches meaning 56 matches were played in total, easily the most in the competitions history. Richmond would go on to finish 7th with 3 wins and 11 losses.


1922 Auckland Rugby League season, Auckland rugby league news, George Davidson's return
George Davidson played for Maritime (now named Athletic) in the 1919 season but had missed most of the 1920 and 1921 seasons as he was training for and competing at the Antwerp Olympics where he came 5th in the 200m final. He stated that over those two seasons he had only played for Maritime on two or three occasions as he was seeking a transfer to the City Rovers where his two brothers Bill and Ben played. Athletic were denying his request and Davidson appealed to the league who then asked the Athletics club to reconsider his request "favourably". He would eventually have his transfer to City approved.

These lists include tries and points scored in the First Grade competition and the Roope Rooster competition only. Bill Davidson set a record for the number of points scored by a single player in a season. While earlier seasons were often incomplete with some points unattributed his 116 points was well ahead of the previous highest of 78 by Karl Ifwersen in the 1915 season. P Gallagher of Marist was the top try scorer with 15.

On 19 June the touring Australian Universities Rugby League team arrived in Auckland on board the ‘Manuka’. They were welcomed at a function at the Auckland Town Hall by a large assembly of Auckland politicians including the Mayor Mr. J.H. Gunson, and representatives of Auckland Rugby League and the New Zealand League Council. The Australians acquitted themselves well by beating Auckland twice, and losing to them once and a loss to the South Waikato team in Hamilton. The games were played over the space of just 8 days.

1922 Austin twin tornadoes
On the afternoon of May 4, 1922, two simultaneous tornadoes struck Austin, Texas, taking unusual southwesterly paths that tore through the city and surrounding areas on both sides of the Colorado River. Meteorological details concerning the conditions that led to the event are sparse, though historical accounts described the morning and afternoon as sweltering; clouds percolated northeast of Austin by noon and had developed into thunderstorms over the city by around 4:00 p.m.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes
The first tornado began in a rural area 6 mi (9.7 km) northwest of the Texas State Capitol and tracked across the Texas Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute for Colored Youth and Deep Eddy, injuring at least five people and causing around $25,000 in damage. The tornado was widely photographed and was estimated to have been an F2 tornado on the Fujita scale.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes
While the first tornado was inflicting damage, a second tornado touched down near the Texas State Cemetery and tore across the Travis Heights community and St. Edwards University. Its most destructive impacts occurred at the Woodward Manufacturing Company's automobile plant at Penn Field. It then curved west towards Manchaca and Oak Hill, leveling homes and uprooting numerous trees before dissipating. The second tornado was the more destructive of the two and killed at least 12 people, including six at a single home in Oak Hill. It was estimated to have been an F4 tornado on the Fujita scale. In aggregate, the two tornadoes injured 50–60 people and inflicted at least $300,000 in damage, with some estimates placing the damage toll above $700,000.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Synopsis
Two simultaneous tornadoes struck the Austin, Texas, area on the afternoon of May 4, 1922, inflicting a combined 50–60 injuries and around $300,000–$350,000 in property damage according to one estimate published in the University of Texas Bulletin. Estimates of the damage toll vary widely. One estimate in the Weather Bureau's Climatological Data publication indicated a $500,000 damage toll. The Austin American, a local newspaper, tallied a $584,000 toll, while another newspaper, The Austin Statesman, tallied a $725,000 toll.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Synopsis
One tornado generally struck areas west of central Austin while the other struck areas east and south of the city; the latter caused all 12–13 fatalities documented on May 4. The tornadoes were separated by less than 4 mi (6.4 km). Both tornadoes took atypical tracks towards the south-southwest, though other strong tornadoes in Central Texas have also taken similar tracks such as those in the 1997 Central Texas tornado outbreak. The Austin/San Antonio office of the National Weather Service ranked the event as the second most significant weather event of the 20th century for the Austin area.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Synopsis
Much of what is known about the two tornadoes is derived from two published accounts of the storm, with one authored by Frederic W. Simonds, the chairman of the Department of Geology at the University of Texas, and Fred Morris, a weather observer and employee at the university's mechanical engineering department. The two tornadoes were also widely photographed, though the second, eastern tornado was imaged less. A brief hailstorm with hail "of larger size than a pigeon egg" according to Simonds occurred after the two tornadoes struck, lasting for about 20 minutes before the storms abated prior to sunset. To the north, the town of Taylor was buffeted by strong winds from a concurrent but separate storm. Round Rock and Hutto reported heavy rain during the afternoon but did not otherwise suffer any ill effects. Pflugerville reported small hailstones and rain.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Synopsis
Simonds described May 4, 1922, as an "oppressively warm" day. J.D. Martin, the superintendent at the Texas Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute for Colored Youth, described it as the onset of a heatwave shortly before the first tornado struck. Likewise, Morris described the morning as "sultry" with a "very light southeast breeze" in his report published in the May 1922 edition of the Monthly Weather Review. The air pressure on the University of Texas bottomed out at 986 mbar (hPa; 29.13 inHg) at 3:20 p.m.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Synopsis
Aside from the university barometer, there were no standard surface weather observations as climatological data was only recorded once per day at 7:00 a.m. Weather maps indicated the juxtaposition of drier air west of Austin and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to the east. Small and nearly stationary cumulus clouds began to form by 11:00 a.m. Some of these clouds to the northeast developed into cumulonimbus clouds by noon and remained stationary until around 2:30 p.m. when they began to move and spread south. After 3:00 p.m., low-level scud clouds began to converge over the Austin area, and at around 3:45 p.m. thunder was heard for the first time. Lightning became more frequent as the thunderstorm intensified.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, First tornado
An account by Paul T. Seashore published in the Monthly Weather Review described the development of the conical funnel cloud that led to the first tornado on the afternoon of May 4:


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, First tornado
The approaching clouds were scarcely 5 miles away when I first became aware of the tornadic formative disturbance. In a position nearly due north a ragged edge, or that part which appears to an observer as being the bottom of the cloud had in one place dipped lower and had assumed the shape of a V with a slender thread-like appendage swinging from the bottom.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, First tornado
Simonds notes that a clamor began on the campus of the University of Texas as the funnel cloud began to descend to the northwest. The commotion also led to the mid-game cancelation of a baseball match between the University of Texas and Austin College at Clark Field as well as the suspension of a special meeting of the Austin City Council. The funnel cloud was deflected 45 degrees away from the nadir below its connection with the parent cloud; Simonds believed this was a byproduct of wind currents passing through the rugged topography of the Balcones Escarpment west of Austin.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, First tornado
This first tornado touched down in a rural area 5–6 mi (8.0–9.7 km) northwest of the Texas State Capitol and moved south-southwest. It destroyed several homes and caused heavy damage at the Texas Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute for Colored Youth, injuring five people. Buildings at the institute were either unroofed or displaced from their foundations; an industrial building, dormitory, laundry building, and smaller sheds were destroyed on the institution grounds.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, First tornado
The tornado then blew down or unroofed cabins near Deep Eddy along the Colorado River and denuded or uprooted trees. This included those on the nearby YMCA and Hardy Johnson campgrounds that were largely destroyed. A segment of roofing ripped away from the institute landed at Deep Eddy after traveling airborne for 3 mi (4.8 km). Two people were injured at Deep Eddy. The tornado then crossed the river and produced a narrow path of damage in unpopulated hills southwest of Austin before dissipating.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, First tornado
An analysis of the tornado's damage published by meteorologist Thomas P. Grazulis in 1990 estimated that it was an F2 tornado on the Fujita scale, with a damage toll amounting to around $25,000; The Austin Statesman attributed at least $50,000 in property damage to the tornado, including $40,000 incurred by the Texas Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute for Colored Youth. The tornado's path spanned 70 yd (64 m) at its widest and was 9 mi (14 km) long.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, Second tornado
Onlookers on the University of Texas campus watching the progression of the first tornado were unaware of the formation of a second tornado and the subsequent destruction to the east. Morris's account of the second tornado detailed the development of the wall cloud that preceded the second tornado, writing of its "violent churning" and lowering from the broader cloud. This tornado touched down near the Texas State Cemetery on the east side of Austin while the first tornado was in progress and initially moved south-southwest. Trees nearby were uprooted and stripped of their branches while some buildings sustained serious damage.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, Second tornado
One small home on Navasota Street was torn from its foundation. The Tenth Ward Fire Station was damaged when a moonlight tower collapsed to it. A Gulf Oil gas station on East Sixth Street was unroofed. Along the Colorado River, small homes, and outbuildings were damaged as the tornado began to cross the river, pulling a column of water 50 ft (15 m) into the air. Waste from a nearby city landfill was also pulled into the river. The tornado then entered the newly-built Travis Heights community, where it unroofed houses and uprooted large trees.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, Second tornado
Three homes were "wrecked" according to The Austin Statesman and four others were damaged. The tornado's impacts were not uniform; in some cases, badly damaged buildings were adjacent to those that showed little evidence of the tornado's passage. At the time, the tornado spanned approximately 50 yd (46 m) across. Additional homes were razed before the tornado moved across the campus of St. Edward's University. The third story of a brick dormitory was destroyed, in addition to the campus power plant and gymnasium. One university student was killed after being thrown 300 yd (270 m) by the tornado. Another four students were injured. Grazulis lists the damage at the university as totaling $200,000. Debris from the tornado's passage over the campus was recovered as far as 55 mi (89 km) away.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, Second tornado
The greatest property toll occurred when the tornado tracked over Penn Field, where it destroyed the automobile plant of the Woodward Manufacturing Company; five large brick buildings were demolished and a steel water tower was toppled. Two people were killed there and twenty-eight others were injured. Most of the casualties occurred at the facility's living quarters or planing mill; some were outside watching the tornado as it moved across Travis Heights when they were struck by debris. The Woodward Manufacturing Company assessed $300,000 in losses at the plant. Another person at Penn Field outside of the factory was also killed.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, Second tornado
Debris from the destruction at Penn Field was lofted over 100 ft (30 m) into the air and was blown onto the busy Post Road connecting Austin with San Antonio, Texas, but caused no loss of life. Additional debris broke through the roof of the St. Elmo schoolhouse; the building itself also moved at least 20 ft (6.1 m) off its foundation. One person was killed in the St. Elmo area, which was reportedly "wiped out" by the tornado. The tornado's path then curved towards the west, destroying a dairy and other buildings.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, Second tornado
Two cows and a horse at the dairy were killed. It was at this point that the tornado was at its widest, with a diameter of some 225 yd (206 m). Two people were killed northwest of Manchaca. Six people were killed in a single home 2 mi (3.2 km) southeast of Oak Hill; little remained of the home aside from the stones that once comprised its chimney. Other small homes nearby were also leveled.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Tornadoes, Second tornado
Tornadic damage after this point was largely inflicted upon farms and forests to the southwest, with swaths of fallen timber and debris resulting from the tornado's trek into more forested areas. Grazulis's 1991 assessment of the second tornado's damage estimated that it was an F4 tornado on the Fujita scale. Estimates of the tornado's death and damage toll vary. Press reports and documentation published in the Monthly Weather Review list either 12 or 13 deaths. The May 5, 1922 edition of the The Austin Statesman enumerated 13 fatalities and 44 injuries, with property damage reaching $725,000; the following day's edition enumerated 12 fatalities. The injured were sent to three area hospitals.


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Aftermath
The tornadoes cut off telecommunications with South Austin. Local chapters of the American Red Cross established a distribution center for relief supplies at the Austin Chamber of Commerce, appealing for donations of clothing and bedding from residents of Travis County. Cash donations were also solicited by the chamber of commerce. Hundreds of visitors took the city from other towns to observe the devastation caused by the tornadoes. Local firemen, police, members of the American Legion, and a detachment of the Texas Rangers secured the St. Edward's University campus and Penn Field to preserve property and belongings left behind by the storms. The chambers of commerce of Dallas and San Antonio also offered to assist the city's recovery..


1922 Austin twin tornadoes, Aftermath
Work crews were quickly dispatched to clear debris around the city. The reconstruction and repair of damaged homes near Deep Eddy, in East Austin, and in the Travis Heights community began within a few days; in some cases, contracts for rebuilding were awarded before noon on May 5. St. Edward's University began a fundraising campaign to accrue $250,000 for repairs to campus buildings. Students were housed in temporary quarters until the end of the school term in June following the damage to the dormitories. The Woodward Manufacturing Company, once a significant contributor to Austin's economy, transitioned into a furniture company after suffering extensive losses.

1922 Australian Labor Party leadership election
The Australian Labor Party held a leadership election on 16 May 1922, following the death of Frank Tudor. The party elected Matthew Charlton as its new leader.


1922 Australian Labor Party leadership election, Background
Tudor died on 10 January 1922, after a long period of ill health. He had been the party's leader since November 1916, following the expulsion of Billy Hughes and his supporters during the split over conscription. His deputy and assumed successor, T. J. Ryan, had died a few months earlier on 1 August 1921. Matthew Charlton, who had already acted as deputy leader on several occasions, was formally chosen as Ryan's replacement on 29 September. He served as acting leader on a number of occasions when Tudor's health forced his absence.


1922 Australian Labor Party leadership election, Background
On 25 January, following Tudor's state funeral, Charlton was chosen unanimously as leader of the Labor Party in the House of Representatives. He thus became Leader of the Opposition. The overall leadership of the party was left vacant until parliament resumed, but Charlton was the de facto party leader. On 16 May, the party formally elected Charlton as its leader. Albert Gardiner, the party's sole senator, was the only other candidate, attracting only 2 votes to Charlton's 22. He was subsequently elected unopposed as the party's deputy leader, while Frank Anstey was chosen as the deputy leader in the House of Representatives. James Scullin was also nominated for the latter post, despite only having recently returned to parliament, but he declined the nomination.


1922 Australian federal election
The 1922 Australian federal election was held in Australia on 16 December 1922. All 75 seats in the House of Representatives, and 19 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. The incumbent Nationalist Party, led by Prime Minister Billy Hughes lost its majority. However, the opposition Labor Party led by Matthew Charlton did not take office as the Nationalists sought a coalition with the fledgling Country Party led by Earle Page. The Country Party made Hughes's resignation the price for joining, and Hughes was replaced as Nationalist leader by Stanley Bruce.


1922 Australian federal election
Future Prime Minister Frank Forde and future opposition leader John Latham both entered parliament at this election.


1922 Australian federal election
At this election, Hughes as the sitting prime minister made his second seat transfer, in this case, from Bendigo to North Sydney. Hughes had held Bendigo since transferring there from West Sydney at the 1917 election also as the sitting prime minister.


1922 Australian federal election
Hughes remains the only sitting Prime Minister to transfer to another seat, not once but twice.


1922 Australian federal election
Aside from the 1917 and 1922 elections, all other elections have seen the sitting prime minister recontest the seat that they held prior to the election.

1922 Birthday Honours
The 1922 Birthday Honours were appointments by King George V to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of the British Empire. The appointments were made to celebrate the official birthday of The King, and were published in The London Gazette on 2 June 1922.


1922 Birthday Honours
Controversy from the 1922 Birthday Honours list eventually led to the passage of the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 and creation of the Honours Committee to formally review nominations. Sir Joseph Benjamin Robinson, chairman of the Robinson South African Banking Company and generous contributor to Prime Minister David Lloyd George's Liberal Party, was listed for a barony "for national and imperial services."


1922 Birthday Honours
Robinson quickly declined the honour within weeks after arguments erupted in the House of Lords over the circumstances of his nomination, particularly his residency in South Africa rather than in Great Britain, and that he was not recommended for the honour directly by the South African colonial government as required. "Feeling in the House of Lords ran high," reported The Times on 30 June.


1922 Birthday Honours
The Times praised Robinson's letter to the King asking for permission to decline the honour, and pushed for further questioning into the matter: "..by his action Sir Joseph Robinson has placed himself in the right and has left the Government to explain, if they can, how and why they placed themselves in the wrong. It seems clear from the letter that Sir Joseph Robinson did not in any way seek the honour. Therefore, some person or persons unknown must have sought to induce him to accept it. Who are those persons, what are their functions, and what were their motives?"


1922 Birthday Honours
The recipients of honours are displayed here as they were styled before their new honour, and arranged by honour, with classes (Knight, Knight Grand Cross, etc.) and then divisions (Military, Civil, etc.) as appropriate.

1922 Bodmin by-election
The Bodmin by-election, 1922 was a parliamentary by-election for the British House of Commons. The constituency of Bodmin in Cornwall polled on 23 February 1922. The by-election was notable for the opposition Liberal Party gaining a seat from the Coalition-supporting Conservative Party.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Coalition Conservative MP, Sir Charles Hanson on 17 January 1922. Hanson had been MP for Bodmin since himself winning the seat in a by-election on 15 August 1916.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Electoral history
The constituency was a traditional Unionist/Liberal marginal. The last Liberal win came in January 1910. In December 1910 a Liberal Unionist narrowly gained the seat. In 1918 the Coalition Government of Lloyd George chose to endorse the incumbent Unionist candidate. The result at the General Election in 1918 was;


1922 Bodmin by-election, Campaign
The Coalition was fighting on its record of having won the war and negotiated the peace and was relying on appeals to the electorate of being allowed to get on with the task of steering the country through the difficult domestic and international waters currently flowing around the British ship of state. Sir Austen Chamberlain in a letter to General Poole asked for the support of the electors for the giving of peace to Ireland and the restoration of that economic and financial stability necessary for good trade and prosperity. Poole was supported by almost all the local press except the previously pro-Coalition Western Morning News which had supported Foot due to the Coalition government's "reckless expenditure".


1922 Bodmin by-election, Campaign
For the Independent Liberals, Foot attacked the government's record in waste and inefficiency. He said that the electorate had recognised the 1918 general election as a fraud and resented having been tricked by 'delusive promises' and 'crooked politics'. As well as being endorsed by the Western Morning News, Foot gained the formal support of the constituency Labour Party and was supported by Arthur Quiller-Couch, who served as one of his nominators.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Campaign
The campaign also took on a distinctly Cornish aspect: there was significant local disillusion over the perceived failure of the government to support the Cornish tin mining industry after the war. An election song at the time had the lines "The Coalition would not help the miners poor", being sung to the tune of Trelawny.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Campaign, Lib-Lab co-operation
One question which was raised during the round of by-elections being fought at this time, as the date of the next general election neared, was if there was a some kind of electoral arrangement between the Independent, Asquithian Liberals and the Labour Party. Foot had no Labour opponent in Bodmin but Labour had not contested the seat at the 1918 general election either.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Campaign, Lib-Lab co-operation
The Executive Committee of the Labour Party in Bodmin did however issue a strong attack on the government's record, especially what it described as 'its wanton waste of the country's resources' and it recommended that Labour supporters should vote for Foot. The endorsement led Poole's campaign to try and paint Foot as a radical socialist and the constituency party to later be censured by the national party. The local Labour Party's active help during Foot's campaign caused the Cornish Times to say that he had "the open blessing of the Socialists".


1922 Bodmin by-election, Campaign, Lib-Lab co-operation
By-elections were taking place at Manchester Clayton, Camberwell North and Wolverhampton West in this period as well as at Bodmin. In the other three seats the Independent Liberals did not stand candidates, allowing Labour to take on the Coalition in straight fights with the result that Manchester and Wolverhampton were Labour gains. The Coalition leadership regarded this as evidence that understandings, formal or unofficial, were being entered into by the opposition parties in anticipation of a similar but formal arrangement for the next general election, but that was denied by Labour and Liberal spokesmen.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Campaign, Lib-Lab co-operation
The Times tended to accept these denials, given the difficulty of imposing national arrangements on independently minded local Liberal and Labour constituency organisations, but clearly it was then in the interests of the opposition parties to avoid fighting each other as far as possible, as it made it easier to for the government candidate to win.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Result
The by-election turnout was up on the last general election. The result was a gain for the Liberal Party from the Coalition Unionist. Foot obtained a swing of 14.8%.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Result
The size of the Liberal victory has been described by one historian as a 'landslide'. The result was said to have turned the tide for the Liberals in the region restoring the party as the true heir of the old Radical tradition  and that as a result Cornish Methodism now had a charismatic spokesman at Westminster.


1922 Bodmin by-election, Aftermath
Foot and Poole were to face off again at the general election later in the year. On this occasion Foot again won, though his majority was halved;

Urbano Santos died before being sworn in as Vice President. A second vice-presidential election was held on 22 August, which was won by Estácio Coimbra.


1922 Bridgman Convention
The 1922 Bridgman Convention was a secret conclave of the underground Communist Party of America (CPA) held in August 1922 near the small town of Bridgman, Michigan, about 90 miles (140 km) outside of the city of Chicago on the banks of Lake Michigan. The convention, called by the CPA as its annual gathering for the election of officers and making of internal decisions, was attended by a delegate who was secretly an employee of the Bureau of Investigation, who informed his superiors of the date and general location of the gathering.


1922 Bridgman Convention
The convention was raided by local and federal law enforcement authorities on August 22, 1922, and a number of participants and a large quantity of documents seized in an operation which garnered national headlines. Two 1923 test trials of the Michigan criminal syndicalism law resulted from the arrests, with trade union leader William Z. Foster freed by a "hung jury," while Communist Party leader C. E. Ruthenberg was convicted. Ruthenberg ultimately died of peritonitis in 1927, just after his appeals were exhausted and just before sentence was enforced. No additional trials associated with the 1922 Bridgman raid were conducted.


1922 Bridgman Convention, History, The 1921 Central Caucus split
In the fall of 1921, a section of the Communist Party of America identifying themselves as a "Central Caucus," headed by Executive Secretary Charles Dirba and including Central Executive Committee members John J. Ballam and George Ashkenuzi, split from the CPA to form their own parallel organization. At issue was the decision of the CEC majority to hurriedly establish a parallel Workers Party of America (WPA), the "above-ground" and "legal" nature of which was believed to risk exposing the organization's largely immigrant membership to easy arrest and deportation. The split came after a mere eight months of tenuous unity between Dirba and his associates with the members of the former Communist Labor Party (CLP).


1922 Bridgman Convention, History, The 1921 Central Caucus split
Dirba's "Central Caucus" group formally organized themselves as a competing organization, also known as the "Communist Party of America," at a convention held early in January 1922. This gathering, attended by 38 delegates, purported to represent 5,000 party members, fully half of the American communist movement at the time, 80 percent of whom hailed from various language federations of the old CPA. The Central Caucus faction objected to the establishment of a public Workers Party of America (WPA) to which all underground party members were required to belong.


1922 Bridgman Convention, History, The 1921 Central Caucus split
In addition to security concerns over the WPA, the radical Central Caucus group objected to the WPA's emphasis upon elections, considering this a turn away from the strategy of forcible overthrow of the bourgeoisie through revolution and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat in accord with the Soviet model.


1922 Bridgman Convention, History, The 1921 Central Caucus split
This new split of the American communist movement was vexing to the Communist International, which insisted upon one unified communist party in each country and which had struggled to unite its American factions ever since the formation of parallel organizations in September 1919. Although the Central Caucus actively campaigned with the Comintern on behalf of its position, going so far as to dispatch John Ballam to Moscow, the Comintern ruled against those participating in the new split and ordered them back into the "regular" CPA. The Comintern ultimatum declared that "All members that do not comply with the [unity] instructions within two months from the time they sent out by the CEC of the CP of A stand outside of the CP of A and therefore also out of the Comintern."


1922 Bridgman Convention, History, The 1921 Central Caucus split
A convention was called for August 1922 to formally reintegrate the Central Caucus faction dissidents into the "regular" CPA and well as to decide upon various programmatic initiatives, such as the proposed dissolution of the underground organization in favor of the much more successful WPA. The dates of August 17–23, 1922, were set for the gathering, which was to be held at the Wolfskeel resort at Bridgman, Michigan, site of a 1920 convention of the United Communist Party of America which had gone off in secret without complications.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition
The 1922 British Mount Everest expedition was the first mountaineering expedition with the express aim of making the first ascent of Mount Everest. This was also the first expedition that attempted to climb Everest using bottled oxygen. The expedition would attempt to climb Everest from the northern side out of Tibet. At the time, Everest could not be attempted from the south out of Nepal as the country was closed to Western foreigners.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition
The 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition had explored the whole eastern and northern surroundings of the mountain. In searching for the easiest route, George Mallory, who was also a participant of the 1924 expedition (and the only person on all three expeditions in 1921, 1922 and 1924), had discovered a route which, according to his opinion, would allow an attempt on the summit.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition
After two unsuccessful summit attempts the expedition ended on the third attempt when seven porters died as the result of a group-induced avalanche. Not only had the expedition failed to reach the summit but it also marked the first reported climbing deaths on Mount Everest. The expedition did however establish a new world record climbing height of 8,326 metres (27,320 ft) during their second summit attempt, which was subsequently exceeded in the 1924 expedition.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition, Preparations
The attempted ascent was – notwithstanding other aims – an expression of the pioneering thinking that was common in the British Empire. As the British were unsuccessful as the first to reach the North and South Poles they tried to go to the so-called "third pole" – to "conquer" Mount Everest.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition, Preparations
Cecil Rawling had planned three expeditions in 1915 and 1916 but they never happened due to the outbreak of the First World War and his death in 1917. The expeditions in the 1920s were planned and managed by the British Royal Geographical Society and the Alpine Club in a joint Mount Everest Committee.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition, Preparations
The surveying activities in 1921 allowed the creation of maps which were a pre-condition for the 1922 expedition. John Noel took on the role of official expedition photographer. He took with him three movie cameras, two panorama cameras, four sheet cameras, one stereo camera and five so called "vest pocket Kodaks". The latter were small lightweight cameras that could be taken by the mountaineers to great heights. These cameras were intended to allow climbers to document a possible summit success. Additionally they took a special "black tent" for photographic work. Thanks to Noel's efforts, many photographs and one movie chronicled the expedition.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition, Preparations
During the 1921 expedition they had seen that the best time for a summit bid would be April–May before the monsoon season. The expeditions in 1922 and 1924 were planned according to this knowledge.


1922 British Mount Everest expedition, Bottled oxygen as a mountaineering aid
The 1922 expedition can be seen as the start of the enduring question of "fair means" and controversies about using of bottled oxygen in the "death zone". Alexander Mitchell Kellas was one of the first scientists who had pointed out the possible use of bottled oxygen for accessing great heights. At this time the available systems (derived from mining rescue systems) were in his opinion too heavy to be a help at great heights. Kellas was part of the Everest reconnaissance expedition in 1921 but died on the way to Mt. Everest. That expedition had taken bottled oxygen with them, but it was never used. Few paid much attention to Kellas' innovative ideas, possibly because his scientific work belonged strictly to the amateur tradition.
