Cardiff City F.C. played the 1922–23 season  in the First Division. The campaign was the 22nd season of competitive football played by Cardiff City F.C. and its second consecutive season in the top tier of The Football League. Cardiff had won promotion to the top tier of English football in 1920–21 by finishing as runners-up in the Second Division, becoming the first Welsh team to reach the top tier of English football.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season
Entering the campaign, Cardiff were considered one of the strongest sides in the division, but, despite scoring more goals than any other side, indifferent away form ultimately resulted in a ninth-place finish. In the FA Cup, the side reached the third round after victories over Watford and Leicester City but were eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur for the second consecutive season. Cardiff were the reigning holders of the Welsh Cup having won the 1922 final. In the early rounds, the team showed their strength with 7–0 and 10–0 victories over amateur sides Rhymney and Oswestry. They went on to retain their title after defeating Aberdare Athletic in the final.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season
Jack Evans made 50 appearances in all competitions during the season, more than any other player. He missed only one senior team fixture, due to an international call-up.

He scored 28 goals in all competitions including 19 in the First Division. He also scored the winning goal in the final of the Welsh Cup.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
Cardiff had entered The Football League in 1920, winning promotion from the Second Division in its first attempt. The team had endured a difficult start in the First Division the following year, losing the first six matches of the campaign, but the signing of Joe Clennell and the emergence of Len Davies vastly improved the team's attack and they eventually went on to finish fourth.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
The team's performance meant that confidence was high heading into the new season. Manager Fred Stewart remained in charge of the side for the eighth consecutive season of competitive football and felt no need to make any significant signings prior to the new season.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
Club captain Charlie Brittain was quoted in the South Wales Echo, "We ought to do well, seeing that the present season opens as a sort of continuation of the glorious run we had last year [...] if we do no more than reproduce our old form it must needs be a great side that will stem our progress."


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
The Times expressed a similar belief in the team's potential prior to the start of the campaign, stating that Cardiff possessed "undeniable all-round ability" and reported in the early stages of the season that the team were "at present considered to be as good a team as any in the First Division of the League".


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
Tommy Brown and Willie Page who had both been signed at the start of the previous season were the only notable departures from the first team squad.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
In a repeat of the team's first season in the First Division, Cardiff met Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane in the first match of the campaign in a tie that was regarded as the biggest game of the opening day. The match was described as "disappointing to watch" by The Times match reporter as the warm weather proved draining to both sides. Cardiff fell behind in the first five minutes of the match as Jimmy Cantrell gave Tottenham the lead.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Although Cardiff enjoyed the majority of the chances, it took until midway through the second half to equalise through Jimmy Gill. Len Davies missed a late chance to win the match when he failed to react to a mistake by the opposition goalkeeper who had misjudged a cross and the game ended in a draw. Two days later, Cardiff recorded its first win of the season by defeating Aston Villa 3–0 at Ninian Park after a brace from Clennell and one goal from Billy Grimshaw.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
In the reverse fixture against Tottenham on 2 September, Cardiff suffered a 3–2 defeat in front of 50,000 spectators. Len Davies, the previous season's top goalscorer in all competitions, scored his first goals of the campaign with a brace. Despite taking the lead, three second half goals gave Tottenham an unassailable lead and Cardiff's efforts were further hampered by an injury to Clennell. Cardiff recovered by beating Villa 3–1 in the two sides' second meeting on 8 September.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The team recorded a 4–1 home victory over Arsenal to move into fourth place after five matches. Arsenal took the lead in the first half through Tom Whittaker before Grimshaw equalised. In the second half, a brace from Len Davies and one from Harry Nash secured victory for Cardiff. Cardiff was considered a heavy favourite to repeat its win in the reverse fixture on 16 September. However, Arsenal dominated the fixture and won the match 2–1 as Cardiff suffered injuries to Jack Page, already deputising for the injured Jimmy Blair, and Gill.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The defeat saw Cardiff fall to seventh in the table and was the start of a poor run of form that would damage the club's season. Back-to-back defeats against Everton followed at the end of September and this pattern was repeated in successive fixtures against Sunderland in October. A 3–1 away defeat against reigning league holders and league leaders Liverpool meant Cardiff had suffered six consecutive defeats and left the club in 21st position with only Stoke remaining below them.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
In the reverse fixture against Liverpool on 26 October, the team won their first fixture since early September to end their losing run, winning 3–0 following goals from Grimshaw, Ken MacDonald and Clennell. The victory lifted Cardiff out of the relegation zone at the expense of Preston North End. A goalless draw against Birmingham was followed by a 1–1 draw against the same opponents on 11 November, despite Cardiff playing with what The Times described as "a great pace, which would have beaten many teams".


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Cardiff's brief return to form was ended by consecutive 1–0 defeats against Huddersfield Town at the end of November. The team defeated bottom side Stoke 2–1 on 2 December following goals from Gill and Clennell but defeat to Stoke in the reverse fixture a week later left the two sides tied at the bottom of the league on 13 points along with Arsenal and Oldham Athletic.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The Times expressed surprise at the club's struggles in the first half of the season, reporting "Cardiff City can play extremely well at Cardiff on occasions [...] They have not however reproduced their form at the end of last season, playing rather in-and-ourlt football". The slump in form was blamed largely on the team's attacking players and their lack of scoring. This prompted manager Fred Stewart to make the first major signings of the season, with Fergie Aitken arriving on a free transfer.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The side were credited with playing "dashing and improved football" as they recorded a 3–1 home victory over Manchester City in their following match. In the week following the fixture, defender Blair collapsed during a training session and was taken to a local hospital. It was believed that he was still suffering effects from a bout of pneumonia earlier in the season. A second signing arrived soon after with George Reid arriving from Walsall.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
He made a goalscoring debut for Cardiff in the reverse fixture against Manchester City with what proved a consolation goal as the side were soundly beaten 5–1. He scored again in the club's following fixture with Gill adding a brace in a 3–0 win over West Bromwich Albion before Cardiff finished the year with a defeat to West Brom and a goalless draw with Bolton Wanderers.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Reid scored his third goal in five appearances since his arrival with the only goal in a victory over Bolton on 6 January, moving Cardiff four points clear of the relegation places. However, after Reid failed to score in a 3–1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers and Len Davies scored in consecutive FA Cup matches with Reid cup-tied, Davies was restored to the first team. His return proved pivotal as the team's goalscoring rapidly improved, recording consecutive 5–0 home victories over Blackburn and Newcastle United with Davies and Gill scoring all but one of the goals in the ties.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The pair scored again against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest on 17 February to give Cardiff a 2–0 lead before Forest rallied in the final 30 minutes, coming from behind to win 3–2. After losing to Newcastle and drawing 1–1 with Chelsea, Cardiff recorded its biggest victory of the season by beating Chelsea 6–1 in the reverse fixture at Ninian Park. Len Davies scored a hat-trick for the side with Gill scoring a brace and Jack Evans scoring once. The result began a strong run of form for the team as they went on to defeat Middlesbrough in back-to-back fixtures, Preston and Burnley. The five straight victories saw Cardiff rise up the table and by the start of April the club had moved into the top ten.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Cardiff's winning streak ended with a 2–2 draw with Burnley at Ninian Park on 2 April with both goals being scored by Keenor. With Gill and Davies both absent, defenders Keenor and Page were used as makeshift strikers. Keenor remained in his new role for a 3–0 defeat against Preston before international call-ups depleted Cardiff's squad even further with six players being named in their international squads.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
As a result, Herbert Kneeshaw, Sidney Evans, Fred Mason, Vince Jones and Billy Taylor were all called upon to make their first appearance of the season and helped the side to a 1–0 victory over Sheffield United. Cardiff's first team returned a week later for the reverse fixture but could only manage a goalless draw. The team finished their campaign with a 3–1 victory over Nottingham Forest and a 2–0 victory over Oldham before losing their final match 3–1 in the reverse fixture against Oldham. They finished the season in ninth position and were the highest scoring team in the First Division with 73 goals.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Cardiff entered the FA Cup in the first round, being drawn against Third Division South side Watford at home. A crowd of 34,000 witnessed a 1–1 draw between the sides, with Jack Evans scoring for Cardiff via a penalty, resulting in the need for a replay. The teams met again on 17 January 1923 but neither side emerged victorious for a second time as the match ended in a 2–2 draw. A second replay was needed at a neutral ground, being held at the home stadium of Aston Villa, Villa Park on 22 January. Watford led the tie with ten minutes remaining before Cardiff scored two late goals through Herbie Evans and Len Davies to finally overcome the lower ranked opponents. In the second round, Cardiff overcame Leicester City 1–0 through Len Davies' goal.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Having been eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur in the third round the previous season, Cardiff were drawn against the side again in the 1922–23 season. 54,000 fans attended the tie at Ninian Park with heavy rain and wind making playing conditions difficult. Tottenham dominated the first half and led 3–0 by half-time. However, Cardiff scored early in the second half through Gill and Jack Evans later converted a penalty to make the score 3–2. Cardiff pressured Tottenham for the remainder of the game but were unable to score an equalising goal as Tottenham defeated Cardiff in the FA Cup for the second consecutive season.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Welsh Cup
Cardiff entered the Welsh Cup in the fourth round as reigning holders having defeated Ton Pentre in the 1922 final. The team were drawn against Rhymney and proved too strong for the amateur side, recording a 7–0 victory with five different goal scorers and a hat-trick for Gill. In the following round, Cardiff again proved far too strong for amateur opponents as Oswestry were soundly beaten 10–0. Len Davies, Gill and Reid all scored hat-tricks in the tie with Keenor the other goalscorer. Third Division South side and South Wales rivals Swansea Town were the opposition in the semi-final and proved a much sterner test. Len Davies and a brace from Clennell secured a narrow 3–2 victory for Cardiff.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Welsh Cup
In the final, Cardiff met another Third Division South side, Aberdare Athletic at Swansea's Vetch Field. The match was described as "hard-fought" in local press coverage, and Aberdare took an early lead in front of the 8,000 spectators. Cardiff equalised soon after when an Aberdare defender accidentally gave the ball away allowing Grimshaw to score easily. In the second half, Gill gave Cardiff the lead before Len Davies added a third. Aberdare converted a penalty to pull a goal back but the match finished 3–2. Cardiff captain Blair received the trophy from Football Association of Wales (FAW) vice-president Sydney Nicholls. The match generated £450 in gate receipts.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Player details

1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
Although the club eventually secured a midtable position, the high expectations at the start of the season prompted The Times to describe Cardiff's poor form as "the mystery of the season" during the campaign. Despite a disappointing season, the majority of the side remained for the following season as the club retained confidence in the players. This belief proved well founded as Cardiff went on to finish as runners-up in the First Division, missing out on the title on the final day of the season through goal average.


1922–23 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
Club captain Charlie Brittain was the only major departure before the start of the following season as he retired from playing. Blair was appointed club captain in his place with Keenor his deputy.

1922–23 Columbia Lions men's ice hockey season, Season
Columbia started its second season under Tom Howard with a 3-game exhibition against Dartmouth in Lake Placid, New York. Their first official game took place a few weeks later against Amherst. After a win over the Lord Jeffs, Columbia was hoping for a repeat performance against Princeton but instead the Tigers throttled the Lions by a 0–14 score. Coach Howard didn't allow the team to surrender after the embarrassing loss and ran the Lions through hard practices leading up to their next game against Pennsylvania. The work paid off with Columbia paying much more attention to their defensive game in a 2–0 win.


1922–23 Columbia Lions men's ice hockey season, Season
After another few weeks off the Lions travelled to upstate New York for a pair of games. Columbia earned a road split against two teams before heading to West Point to face Army. Despite concerns that the weather may not hold the game took place but the Lions fared poorly, losing the match 1–5.


1922–23 Columbia Lions men's ice hockey season, Season
In late February, however, news came to light that the team had committed several serious infractions. The team had played multiple ineligible players under false names after the Princeton game, a violation of sportsmanship and committee regulations in the eyes of Columbia University administration. Several members were disciplined and the remaining game on the schedule was abandoned.


1922–23 Columbia Lions men's ice hockey season, Season
Despite the scandal, the university was willing to continue to support the team. However, when a distinct lack of ice rinks became apparent the following November, Columbia announced that they were cancelling the season.

1922–23 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
After two good seasons, Cornell's third year back on the ice faced an uphill climb from the beginning. The team lost three of its stalwart players (Finn, Thornton and Wight) and would face a difficult task in replacing their talents. When the team was forming in early January, the team was further hamstring by the ineligibility of several potential replacement players. Coach Bawlf had no difficulty in finding students willing to play but the lack in quality led to grim projections for the season from the outset. Three returning players, Brockway, MacDonald and Tone, were known quantities for the Big Red but the rest of the potential lineup wasn't able to distinguish itself.


1922–23 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
Despite concerns, Cornell opened their season well, losing to Dartmouth in overtime. The teams remained tied after three 12-minute periods but Dartmouth pulled away in overtime, scoring twice in the first 5-minute extra session. After a 0–0 tie against Clarkson the following week, The Big Red were handed their second loss of the season by MAC. Even will the poor start, Cornell was able to show that their defense was at least up to par.


1922–23 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
After taking a week off for the semester break, the club returned with a game against Columbia. The forward roster was adjusted with Brockway going back to wing, where he had played last year, and Burnett and Davidson inserted into the starting lineup. Despite the changes, Cornell was unable to score and lost 0–1. A week later they hit the road and faced powerhouse Harvard. Though they fell 0–6, the Crimson were expected to be leagues ahead of the Big Red. The final game of the year came at Pennsylvania and Cornell was still unable to get a win, ending with a 2–2 tie after three extra periods.

1922–23 FC Basel season
The FC Basel 1922–23 season was their thirtieth season since the club's foundation on 15 November 1893. The club's chairman was Karl Ibach. It was his second period as chairman. At the AGM he took over the presidency from Carl Burkhardt. FC Basel played their home games in the Landhof in the district Wettstein in Kleinbasel.


1922–23 FC Basel season, Overview
For the beginning of this season the club hired the ex German international Max Breunig as trainer. He came from Karlsruher FV where he had been trainer for two seasons. Basel played a total of 32 matches in this season. 14 of these were in the domestic league and 18 were friendly matches. Of these 18 friendlies, six were home games played in the Landhof and 12 were away games. Nine test games ended in a victory, four were drawn and five ended in a defeat. In these tests Basel scored a total of 45 goals and conceded 28. Of these 18 friendlies, seven were during the winter break and one was a mid season game eight were played after the domestic league season had been completed.


1922–23 FC Basel season, Overview
After just two pre-season friendlies Basel started in the 1921–22 Swiss Serie A. The domestic league was again divided into three regional groups, East, Central and West, each group with eight teams. FC Basel and the two other teams from Basel Nordstern and Old Boys were allocated to the Central group. The other teams playing in this group were Aarau, Luzern and Biel-Bienne and the two teams from the capital, Young Boys Bern and FC Bern. FC Basel played a mediocre season, winning six matches, drawing three and suffering five defeats, scoring 17 goals and conceding 22. With 15 points they ended the season in fourth position. Otto Kuhn was the team's top league goal scorer with four goals.


1922–23 FC Basel season, Overview
An outrage and scandal after the 8th round match at the Landhof on 12 November 1922 against BSC Young Boys. It came to spme massive disagreements between Basel manager Breunig's co-trainer Mr Sutter, the players of both teams and some fans. The Swiss Football Association started an enquiry immediately and posponed the match Basel against Luzern from 3 December 1922 to 18 February the following year.


1922–23 FC Basel season, Overview
After an appeal the results of the enquiry ended with following decision: The club Basel was fined 200 Swiss Francs, co-trainer Mr Sutter was banned for three years, Basel's player Gustav Putzendopler was banned for six months, Young Boy's players Osterwalder and von Arx were both fined 20 Swiss Francs, Referee Josef Wieland received a life long ban for the top tier of Swiss football. The club Basel had to pay the costs of the court and it was decided that the team had to play two games behind closed doors. Because Basel won the appeal they did not have to play two matches without supporters, but the fine remained unchanged.


1922–23 FC Basel season, Overview
Another outrage and scandal was that the team Young Boys sportingly ended the season as Central group winners. But before the start of the championship play-offs, the qualification match FC Biel-Bienne versus FC Bern (the game had ended 3–1) from 25.02.1923 was awarded 0–3 due to ineligible players of FC Biel-Bienne. So both Young Boys Bern and FC Bern were level with 22 points and consequently a play-off was to be held for the regional championship. Young Boys withdrew from this match. Thus FC Bern continued to the finals, which they won.


1922–23 FC Basel season, Overview
After the play-offs finals had been completed, the qualification match Basel versus FC Bern (the game had ended 0–4) from 04.02.1923 was awarded 3–0 forfait because FC Bern had played an ineligible player. After this decision Young Boys were again winners of the regional group. The date of this decision was in September 1923 and there was not enough time left for a new Play-off Final before the next season started. Therefore no Swiss championship was awarded for 1922/23 season.

Beginning with the season 1894–95, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976–77 season. From the 1922–23 season on, Re-election was required of the bottom two teams of both Third Division North and Third Division South.

1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
The 1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team represented Georgetown University during the 1922–23 NCAA college basketball season. With John O'Reilly unable to coach due to illness for the second straight season, freshman basketball team coach John "Jackie" Maloney – a 1918 Georgetown graduate who had quarterbacked the Georgetown football team in the late 1910s and then was head coach of the football team in 1923 – coached the team for a single season. Georgetown was an independent and played its home games at Ryan Gymnasium on the Georgetown campus in Washington, D.C. and finished the season with a record of 8-3.


1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
During this era, faculty members opposed players missing classes for road games. Furthermore, on-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914–15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court.


1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the team's travel expenses and limiting Georgetown to a very limited road schedule between the 1918–19 and 1926–27 seasons – often only to an annual trip to Annapolis, Maryland, to play at Navy and sometimes a single trip to New York or Pennsylvania to play schools there – averaging no more than three road games a year in order to keep travel expenses and missed classes to a minimum. The 1922–23 squad made a three-game trip to Western New York to play games in Rochester and Buffalo and otherwise traveled only to Annapolis to play Navy during the season. Two of its scheduled games were cancelled, and it played only 11 games, finishing with a record of 8-3.


1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The Hoyas' home winning streak at Ryan Gymnasium reached 50 games at the end of this season, dating back to a victory against Bucknell on the last day of the 1916–17 season; it would reach 52 the following season before finally coming to an end. Georgetown also defeated crosstown rival George Washington this season, giving the Hoyas a 17-game winning streak against George Washington – 11 of them wins at Ryan Gymnasium – dating back to 1915.

Georgetown gave starring forward Jack Flavin a fifth season of varsity eligibility this season. He played in 10 games and scored 48 points for a 4.8-point-per-game average for the season.

His 57-game collegiate career ended with him having scored 436 points in his five years of play, averaging 7.6 points per game over his career.


1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap

1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Senior forward Paul Florence played in nine games and scored 72 points, second-highest on the team, giving him an 8.0 point-per-game average for the season. He had played on the Georgetown football team during the fall of 1922 and got off to a slow start on the basketball team after the conclusion of the football season, but picked up the pace of his scoring as the season wore on and scored a career-high 20 points in his final collegiate game. He left school after the basketball season to play minor-league baseball in the New York Giants organization, having scored 280 points and averaged 8.5 points per game in his 33-game college basketball career.


1922–23 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap

It was common practice at this time for colleges and universities to include non-collegiate opponents in their schedules, with the games recognized as part of their official record for the season, so the January 13, 1923, game against a United States Marine Corps team from Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, counted as part of Georgetown's won-loss record for 1922-23. It was not until 1952, after the completion of the 1951-52 season, that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ruled that colleges and universities could no longer count games played against non-collegiate opponents in their annual won-loss records.

1922–23 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season
The 1922–23 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season was the 25th season of play for the program.


1922–23 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
At the start of their season, the Harvard Crimson did not demonstrate a strong offensive game. They were only able to defeat a weak BU squad 2–0 (albeit with a large number of alternates) and then managed just three goals in regulation against Toronto. When they began their conference schedule in mid-January the Crimson fell to Princeton for the first time since 1917 after only being able to muster a single goal. Harvard escaped with a win in the following game against Yale after another regulation with just a single goal scored.


1922–23 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
While it may have appeared that Harvard was back to it dominating self after trouncing MIT 10–0, they were back to close games after a 19-day layoff. The Crimson defense remained stout through the remainder of the season, allowing just 6 goals in it final six games, but the offense was shut out twice and it was the meeting with Dartmouth on the 21st of February that cost Harvard dearly. The Dartmouth squad was one of the strongest in the nation and entered the contest with a record of 12–1. Harvard could ill afford a loss if they wanted to capture the intercollegiate title, but the offense was silenced by the Indians and the Crimson would be unable to claim another ice hockey championship.


1922–23 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Despite the offensive struggles, Harvard won three of their final four games, including the rubber matches against both Princeton and Yale to earn the Triangular League title. They also receive a bit of help from the Tigers, who downed Dartmouth in the final game for the Indians. The loss meant that Harvard, Dartmouth and Princeton were in a three-way tie with one another and a claim by any for the intercollegiate championship would be dubious at best.


1922–23 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
In the team's final game of the season coach Clafin, in concert with captain Owen, invented a new strategy by changing all three forwards at the same time. This method would come to be called a 'line change' and is still used in modern hockey. While it is unknown whether or not the scheme had been used before, it was certainly the first time it had been employed in college hockey.

1922–23 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
Following the success at Stamford Bridge in the previous season's FA Cup Final, many were hoping that this new found form would transfer itself into a successful league campaign and even a possible chance of the 1st Division title. However, Town had a bad start, only winning 2 of their first 10 games. So Herbert Chapman brought in Charlie Wilson from Tottenham Hotspur. His 13 goals helped Town mount a charge up the table along with the goals of Ernie Islip, Billy Smith and Frank Mann. They would eventually finish only 7 points behind defending champions Liverpool.

1922–23 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team
California had hoped to play the championship series in Portland or Spokane, but the conference decided it was to be held on campus in Moscow; the Vandals won the first two games to successfully defend the title.

Joining in with other midwestern schools, Marquette founded their program in 1922. The first order of business was hiring a coach and the administration was advised to hire George Grady. "Buck" was a Canadian who had played collegiately at the University of Saskatchewan before serving in the military during World War I. After the war he began coaching hockey and was player/coach of a team in Chicago when he accepted the position.


1922–23 Marquette Blue and Gold men's ice hockey season, Season
A team was quickly assembled with most players coming from the college of dental surgery. The first game was played against nearby Wisconsin and, though a loss, the team acquitted themselves well. The next two games versus Minnesota were the first home games for the Blue and Gold. Though they lost both, they were able to keep the score close against the Western Intercollegiate Champions. Marquette took that experience into the two final games against Wisconsin and were able to earn back-to-back ties. In the first of those two matches, tragedy nearly struck when goaltender Harold Garry collapsed during intermission. While he eventually recovered, Montagne was forced to take his place in goal. Dave Delaney was a late addition to the team, dealing with a knee injury, but made it into the lineup after Garry was forced to withdraw.

(citation needed) The Pacific Coast Hockey Association abandoned its seven-man hockey in favour of the six-man rules used in the NHL and the Western Canada Hockey League. This allowed the PCHA and the WCHL to play interleague games. Despite playing interleague games, the two separate leagues kept their own standings. The newly renamed Vancouver Maroons won the PCHA championship and the Edmonton Eskimos won the WCHL championship.

The 1922–23 season was the 42nd season in the history of Nelson F.C. and their second as a professional club in the Football League. After finishing 16th in their inaugural Third Division North campaign in 1921–22, the team performed well above expectations under the guidance of player-manager David Wilson and went on to win the league title. The championship was secured with a 2–0 win over Wrexham on 24 April 1923. Nelson ended the season on 51 points, with a record of 24 wins, three draws and 11 defeats in 38 matches.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season
Nelson entered the FA Cup in the Fourth Qualifying Round, in which they defeated Rochdale. However, they were knocked out by Stalybridge Celtic in the next round. A total of 19 players were used by Nelson in their 40 first-team matches, only six of whom had played for the club in the previous season. Bob Hutchinson and Ernie Braidwood, both new signings, played every league and cup match. With 23 goals in 36 appearances, Joe Eddleston was the team's top goalscorer for the second season in succession. The highest attendance of the season at the club's Seedhill stadium was 12,000 on two occasions, the first of these the win over Chesterfield on 10 March 1923.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Background
In the 1921–22 season, Nelson had played as a professional club in the Football League for the first time, following the restructuring of the league to introduce North and South divisions. Former Scotland international David Wilson remained player-manager of the first-team for the second consecutive season after guiding them to a 16th-placed finish in the previous campaign. Prior to the start of the season, the team did not play any friendly matches, meaning that the team's last competitive match was the 0–0 draw with Tranmere Rovers on 6 May 1921.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Background
The only warm-up for the campaign was a practice match between two teams made up of Nelson players. The Nelson Leader reported that this match was satisfying, and hoped that it could be "the precursor of fine sport in the coming season". Before the 1922–23 season, Nelson's only previous title-winning campaign was their Lancashire League championship in 1895–96.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Background
There were a number of first-team personnel changes from the previous campaign, with only six first-team players staying at the club. Centre forward Joe Eddleston, Nelson's top scorer in 1921–22 with 16 league goals, remained along with Clement Rigg, Sid Hoad and Bob Lilley. Scottish defenders John Steel and James Price also continued to play for Nelson. Among those who left the club were Harold Andrews, who joined Bury, and Irish international inside forward Billy Halligan, who retired from professional football.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Background
Goalkeepers Harry Heyes and Robert Bruce both moved on in the close season, so Stockport County custodian Joseph Birds was signed as a replacement in June 1922. In an attempt to improve the attacking prowess at the club, Wilson signed experienced inside forward Arthur Wolstenholme on a free transfer from Darlington in May 1922, and Scottish forward Mike McCulloch arrived from Heart of Midlothian for a transfer fee of £150. Wilson also added to the defensive ranks with the signings of his former Oldham Athletic team-mate Ernie Braidwood, and of Jimmy Broadhead on a free transfer from Scunthorpe & Lindsey United.

1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson's league campaign started on 26 August 1922 with an away fixture at Bradford Park Avenue, who had been relegated from the Football League Second Division in the previous season. In the highest scoring match of the day, Nelson lost the match 2–6 before a crowd of 10,000 who witnessed Joe Eddleston score his first goal of the season. Bradford Park Avenue were again the opponents the following week for Nelson's first home game of the campaign and the match was won 1–0 by the host side courtesy of a Mike McCulloch goal.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Eddleston's second goal of the campaign secured another 1–0 victory, this time against Stalybridge Celtic, at Seedhill on 9 September 1922 to send the team seventh in the table after three matches. A third successive home fixture saw Nelson win 2–0 against Halifax Town with two goals from Eddleston. Nelson could not follow up their earlier victory over Stalybridge Celtic, falling to a 0–2 loss before attaining a fourth win of the campaign against Southport a week later. Another win against Southport, Nelson's fourth since joining the league in 1921, meant September ended as it had started with a 1–0 win which marked Nelson's fifth victory and clean sheet of the month.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
October began with a 1–3 defeat away at Ashington, although new signing Arthur Wolstenholme scored his first goal of the campaign, and Nelson's first ever league goal against the Northumberland club. A 2–0 win in the return match with goals from Eddleston and McCulloch took Nelson to the top of the league for the first time in the season the following week, overtaking Wigan Borough at the summit.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
The month ended with a pair of wins over Tranmere Rovers; the first a 2–0 win on 21 October, and the second a 1–0 success a week later thanks to John Black's first goal in a Nelson jersey. The team failed to score for only the second time in the season in the 0–1 away defeat to Barrow on 4 November. Despite conceding at Seedhill for the first time in the campaign, Nelson atoned for the loss seven days later with a 2–1 victory as a result of strikes from Eddleston and Wolstenholme.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson did not play another league match for two weeks, when they faced Rochdale at home. A first Nelson goal for defender Ernie Braidwood could not prevent the side succumbing to a 1–2 reverse, not helped by first-team regulars Wilson and Wolstenholme missing the match due to injury, forcing inexperienced inside-right William Bennett to make his league debut.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
In spite of suffering their second defeat of November, Nelson remained top of the league going into December. Their first fixture of the month was a home match against mid-table Darlington on 9 December. Nelson won a close match 3–2 thanks to another Braidwood strike, followed by Eddleston's 10th and 11th goals of the campaign. A hat-trick from inside-forward Wolstenholme gave Nelson a 3–0 victory against the same team on 23 December in front of a season-low attendance of 3,000 at Seedhill. Nelson started the Christmas period with an away game against Halifax Town.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Braidwood and Wolstenholme both got on the scoresheet to help the team to a 2–2 draw in front of 18,000 supporters at The Shay. On 26 December, Nelson faced Hartlepools United, to whom they had conceded 10 goals in two matches in the previous season. Wolstenholme netted for the third game in succession as Nelson claimed their first ever win against the club. However, in the first match of 1923, Hartlepools United won the return fixture 5–1. Nelson achieved their first win of the new year on 13 January, a 3–0 triumph against Rochdale courtesy of an Eddleston hat-trick. Nelson lost 0–1 to Lincoln City the following week, the first time they had failed to score in a league fixture for over two months. January came to a conclusion with a 2–1 win over the same team, goals from Eddleston and McCulloch giving Nelson the victory.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson attained a first ever win against Durham City on 3 February 1923, and this was followed by a 4–0 win over the same side. The win saw Sid Hoad and Bob Hutchinson each net their first of the campaign, and striker Eddleston increase his tally for the season to 19. A goal by Black was not enough to prevent Nelson's winning streak come to an end on 17 February with a 1–3 defeat away at Wigan Borough.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson made up for the loss the following week, exacting a 1–0 win over Wigan, with new signing Dick Crawshaw scoring on his Nelson debut. At the beginning of March, Nelson achieved back-to-back victories against Chesterfield, the second a 4–0 win which saw a second goal in three games for Crawshaw and two goals from utility man Black, who was playing in an unfamiliar centre-forward role. Nelson took only one point from the next two matches against Crewe Alexandra. The team failed to score in both games, the only time in the season they did so in successive matches. Entering the Easter period, Eddleston's 20th league goal of the campaign earned Nelson a 1–1 draw with Grimsby Town at Seedhill on 31 March.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson's winless streak extended to four games when they lost 1–2 away to Wrexham at the start of April, although Crawshaw continued his good vein of goalscoring form, netting his third in seven games. Wolstenholme and Braidwood scored to give Nelson a 2–0 win over Grimsby on 7 April, before beating local rivals Accrington Stanley 2–1 at Seedhill. After another win against Accrington the following weekend, Nelson went into the home match against Wrexham on 24 April requiring a win to secure the Third Division North championship.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Several mill-owners in the town closed their factories early so that supporters could attend the match on time. Over 12,000 spectators attended Seedhill and saw Nelson achieve a 2–0 victory thanks to first-half strikes from Crawshaw and Eddleston. Player-manager David Wilson claimed he was "the happiest man in Nelson" as his side gained promotion to the Second Division for the first time in their history.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
The win was followed by a team procession around the town, and the celebrations continued into the next match as the team claimed a third consecutive clean sheet with a 3–0 win at home to Walsall. However, the season ended disappointingly for Nelson as they suffered their heaviest defeat of the season, a 0–5 loss to Walsall, on 5 May 1923.


1922–23 Nelson F.C. season, FA Cup
Along with all the clubs in the Third Division North, Nelson entered the FA Cup in the Fourth Qualifying Round for the 1922–23 season. For their first match on 18 November 1922, Nelson were drawn away at league rivals Rochdale, who they had beaten 3–2 in the Fifth Qualifying Round the previous season. Nelson emerged from the match with a 1–0 victory courtesy of an Eddleston goal, putting them into the Fifth Qualifying Round for only the fourth time since they first competed in the FA Cup in 1894. For the next round, Nelson were drawn against Stalybridge Celtic at Bower Fold, where they had been beaten 0–2 in the league on 16 September. In their first ever cup tie against Stalybridge, Nelson were defeated 1–0 before a crowd of 6,000 spectators.
