1919 in Victorian soccer
The 1919 Victorian soccer season was the eighth competitive season of soccer in the Australian state of Victoria, under association with the governing body of Football Victoria. It would be the first season of soccer following a three year hiatus due to World War I in which approximately ninety percent of registered players were enlisted in the Australian Defence Force prior to the 1916 season. Only 'Victorian Division 1' was contested. The calendar season also saw the eighth tournament of the Dockerty Cup, in which Footscray Thistle were crowned winners after defeating the newly established Windsor 2–0.


1919 in Victorian soccer, Overview
Following the effects of World War I, four clubs disbanded from Division 1 at the conclusion of the 1915 season, and at least three clubs in Division 2 also disbanded. Burns, St Kilda and Prahran City from Division 1 all survived the economic effects of the hiatus but did not return immediately for 1919. Eight clubs competed in Division 1, with six clubs continuing from 1915 along with the debut of St David's and the default promotion of Windsor from Division 2. It is believed that there was no final series in this season.

1919 lynching in Moberly, Missouri, Background
The East St. Louis massacres were a series of outbreaks of labor and race-related violence by people that caused the deaths of an estimated 40–250 African Americans in late May and early July 1917. Another 6,000 blacks were left homeless, and the rioting and vandalism cost approximately $400,000 ($8,080,000 in 2021) in property damage.


1919 lynching in Moberly, Missouri, Background
These race riots were one of several incidents of civil unrest that started again in the so-called American Red Summer of 1919. In most cases, white mobs attacked African American neighborhoods. In some cases, black community groups resisted the attacks, especially in Chicago and Washington DC. Most deaths occurred in rural areas during events like the Elaine Race Riot in Arkansas, where an estimated 100 to 240 black people and 5 white people were killed. Also in 1919 were the Chicago Race Riot and Washington D.C. race riot which killed 38 and 39 people respectively. Both had many more non-fatal injuries and extensive property damage reaching into the millions of dollars.

In addition to this racial tension, the United States' media were alarmed by terrorist attacks from radical left extremist groups. On November 16, 1919 A. Mitchell Palmer released a report about the dangers of the far left and that “The negro race,” he warns, was “fertile ground” for the spread of radical propaganda. He launched a campaign against radicalism known as the Palmer Raids in November 1919. Federal agents supported by local police rounded up large groups of suspected radicals, often based on membership in a political group rather than any action taken.

The accused African-Americans were taken back to the outskirts of Moberly and in front of a crowd of about a hundred men, an attempt was made to hang all four on the same branch.

Ten days later the team lost again, this time to MIT after the rematch with MAC had to be scrubbed.

During the 1919–20 English football season, Brentford competed in the Southern League First Division.

It was the club's final Southern League season, as 21 of the 22 First Division clubs were voted into the new Football League Third Division in May 1920.


1919–20 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Despite talk that Brentford would seek election to the Football League after the wartime London Combination title success of the previous season, the directors of the club decided to remain in the Southern League Second Division.

1919–20 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Four years of war meant that secretary-manager Fred Halliday needed to rebuild and expand his squad, with prolific forwards Henry White and guest Jack Cock having left the club, in addition to full backs Jack Peart, Dusty Rhodes and half back Bill Stanton. The only survivors of Brentford's final pre-war squad who made appearance during the 1919–20 season were goalkeeper Ted Price, half back Tom McGovern and outside left Patsy Hendren.


1919–20 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
New centre forward Reginald Boyne's six goals in the opening six matches ensured Brentford started the season well, but once his goals dried up, due to a niggling knee injury, the team was robbed of potency in attack. A 10-match winless streak ended when the team went on a five-match unbeaten run through November and December 1919. While manager Fred Halliday was able to field a more or less a settled XI, numerous players were tried in the centre forward position before the arrival of Bert Spreadbury in February 1920. Despite scoring four goals in his first five appearances, Spreadbury failed to help the team gain any consistency and Brentford finished the season in 15th position.

In the first British game after the war in October 1919, England and Ireland drew at Windsor Park, Wales and Scotland doing likewise at their first game in February 1920, shortly after Wales and Ireland had drawn in Belfast.

In the final game, Wales relied on England to beat Scotland in order for them to win the championship, a result which came only at the end of an exhausting encounter which finished 5–4.

To decide the 1920 national collegiate basketball championship a series of three games was arranged between the two champions. On March 22, 1920, the first game was played before a crowd of 3,600 fans in Bartlett Gymnasium. The champions of the east would fall behind the Maroons at the half by a score of 17–6; however, the final score of the game would be much tighter at 28–24. In the game both Vollmer and Birkhoff each scored 12 points, while Curtiss and Halladay each added a basket.

The second game was played at the University of Pennsylvania's gymnasium which was also the YMCA. The Maroons were not equipped to play in a facility such as this and struggled to a 10–10 halftime score. But, in the end, the champions of the west would succumb to the Quakers and be defeated by a final score of 29–18. In the game both Hinkle and Halladay would foul out as the Maroons would be the recipients of 20 fouls, allowing the Quakers to have multiple free throw opportunities.

The final game was played on the campus of Princeton University within the University Gymnasium. Back on a familiar setting and playing on a semi-neutral court, the Maroons played a very close game. In the end, the Quakers would come out on top by a score of 23–21 and win the Intercollegiate National Championship.

Dartmouth returned to the ice after a year layoff, due in part to the end of World War I. The Greens opened their intercollegiate season with two shutout victories over Tufts but when they encountered Harvard the teams fought a pitched battle for supremacy of the 1920 season. The score was close but Dartmouth fell 3–4. Harvard won all of its remaining games and claimed the intercollegiate championship. The Greens continued to play well against collegiate opponents, surrendering only a single goal over their next four games to finish with an impressive record. Dartmouth was runner-up for the championship once more, and while that could have presaged good things in the near future, head coach Clarence Wanamaker resigned from his position at the end of the season.

1919–20 Football League
The 1919–20 season was the 28th season of The Football League, and the first season after football was suspended after outbreak of World War I


1919–20 Football League
Compared to 1914–15, the number of Football League member clubs increased from 40 to 44, initially with five new clubs.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
Resuming after four years, the Football League expanded its numbers by four, maintaining competition in two Divisions of equal size. During previous such expansions, 1898 and 1905, the relegated clubs from the previous season were re-elected, while the top Second Division sides were promoted as usual.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
Following that precedent, the two top Second Division sides in 1915, Derby and Preston did move on up. Chelsea, who had finished 19th that First Division season, were, as expected, re-elected.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
Discussion of how the expansion should be handled began on 13 January 1919 when James Catton published an article in Athletic News raising the issue of match fixing which had dogged the 1914/15 League season and been left unresolved because of the cessation of the League for the duration of the war.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
In the article Catton argued one of the two teams that ought to be returned to the first division (if that league was to be expanded, as had already been proposed), should be Chelsea as they had been relegated due to the match fixing. Catton then considered the argument that Tottenham, who had also been relegated with Chelsea should likewise be reinstated, although he noted there was nothing to link Tottenham’s relegation with anything amiss in the final season before the cessation of the League for the duration.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
In 1915, Manchester United had, to avoid relegation, fixed their last game against Liverpool. They won 2–0 and sent Chelsea into the relegation places instead, but the new league president and former Liverpool chairman John McKenna must have felt some guilt, because at the League's AGM in 1919 he gave a speech insisting on the continued presence in the top flight of the Stamford Bridge club.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
More controversially though, Tottenham Hotspur - who came 20th in 1915 - were not re-elected and arch-rivals Arsenal, who had finished fifth in the Second Division had their promotion engineered by Sir Henry Norris. It has been alleged that Norris bribed or in some way unduly influenced the voting members of the Football League, in particular McKenna at the League's AGM.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
McKenna made a speech recommending Arsenal's promotion ahead of Spurs thanks to the former's longer spell in the League (Arsenal joined in 1893, Spurs in 1908), although Barnsley and Wolves, who both finished ahead of Arsenal, had been members of the league longer than Arsenal; Wolves since its inception in 1888. Arsenal have never been relegated from the top flight of the English game since.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
In the Second Division, Port Vale took over from Leeds City after 4 October 1919, when Leeds were disbanded by F.A. order following alleged irregular practices. Port Vale then inherited Leeds’ record up to that date.


1919–20 Football League, Team changes
After the season, Grimsby Town were relegated to the newly formed Third Division. Lincoln City was not re-elected to Second Division and Leeds United was elected to replace it. Cardiff City were elected to take the second available place in Second Division.


1919–20 Football League, Final league tables
The tables and results below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at  website and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79, with home and away statistics separated.


1919–20 Football League, Final league tables
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 1894–95 season and until the 1920–21 season the re-election process was required of the clubs which finished in the bottom three of the league.

John O'Reilly coached the team in his sixth season as head coach. 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 13-1.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
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. 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 averaged no more than three road games a year from the 1918-19 season through the 1926-27 season in order to keep travel to a minimum. The 1919-20 team's only road trip outside of Washington was to New York City and Connecticut at the end of the season.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The 1918–1919 season had taken place between the second and third waves of the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic — the so-called "Spanish flu" — and had been shortened to only 10 games. That team had finished with a record of 9–1, and because of the pandemic its players were granted an extra year of college eligibility. As a result, all five starters from the 1918–1919 team returned for the 1919–1920 season, setting the stage for even greater success during the year.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The Hoyas' home winning streak at Ryan Gymnasium reached 25 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 before finally coming to an end during the 1923-24 season. A highlight of the home season at Ryan was the Hoyas' upset of North Carolina, considered one of the top teams in the United States at the time. Georgetown also defeated crosstown rival George Washington twice again this season, giving the Hoyas a 12-game winning streak against George Washington – ten of the wins at Ryan Gymnasium – dating back to 1915.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Georgetown University Law School student Fred Fees, a forward, completed his college basketball career this season. A free-throw shooting specialist in an era when the rules of college basketball allowed teams to choose which player shot its free throws, Fees had exploited his free-throw prowess to establish himself as one of the top scorers in college basketball in the United States in each of his four seasons with the Hoyas. This season he averaged 17.7 points per game and scored a total of 245 points, a career high and half of all the points the team scored.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
He made 61 field goals this season and shot 123-for-140 (87.9%) from the free-throw line, a free-throw-shooting percentage that remained a school record until 1978. Fees completed his collegiate career with a career average of 16.8 points scored per game, a remarkable record, and had no peer in college basketball of the era; through at least the 2012-13 season it remains the fourth-highest career average in Georgetown men's basketball history. He scored 804 points in the 48 collegiate games he played for Georgetown, and led the team in scoring in 45 of them. During his four years with the Hoyas he scored 45 percent of their points.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Sophomore forward Jack Flavin became a starter this year and, in fact, started all 14 games. An excellent shooter, he averaged 4.7 points per gane, and scored a total of 66 points.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Sophomore guard Andrew "Andy" Zazzali played in all 14 games, and continued the strong scoring he had displayed the previous season. He averaged 7.0 points per game and scored a total of 98 points.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
The team opened the season with an 11-game winning streak, finally losing at Yale. It then closed the season with two wins to finish at 13-1. It tied the 1910-11 team for what was then the largest number of wins in school history, and its .929 winning percentage remains the best in Georgetown men's basketball history. In 1995, the Premo-Porretta Power Poll retroactively ranked the team sixth in the United States for the 1919–20 season.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Roster
Georgetown players did not wear numbers on their jerseys this season. The first numbered jerseys in Georgetown men's basketball history would not appear until the 1933-34 season.

Junior forward and team captain Bill Dudack later served as the Hoyas' head coach during the 1929-30 season.


1919–20 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, 1919–20 schedule and results
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 game against a United States Army team from Camp Humphrey, Virginia, counted as part of Georgetown's won-loss record for 1919-20. 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.


1919–20 Georgia Bulldogs basketball team
The 1919–20 Georgia Bulldogs basketball team represents the University of Georgia during the 1919–20 college men's basketball season. The team captain of the 1919–20 season was Kennon Mott.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season
The 1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season was the 22nd season of play for the program.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
After a successful return in 1919, the hockey team had high hopes for a return to glory in the first full season since the end of World War I. First, however, they would have to overcome a few difficulties. Alfred Winsor, the coach who had instilled a tremendous defensive system and led the team to 7 intercollegiate championships, would not return to the program. The team decided to hire another Crimson grad with William Henry Claflin Jr. becoming the second coach in team history.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Secondly, with the Boston Arena still undergoing repairs due to a fire, the university would have to find a new home for the year. With the St. Nicholas Rink now closed for hockey and the opening of the Philadelphia Ice Palace delayed, Harvard was able to secure the small Cambridge Ice Pavilion for many of its early games.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Due to the small size of the rink, all games that took place there were restricted to six players on each side, rather than the normal seven for college games. Additionally, many of the game were played using three 15-minute periods rather than two 20-minute halves. The changes known well ahead of time but the team may still have been put off by the strangeness in their games because the Crimson lost the first three games of their season.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Fortunately, none were to other colleges and when they opened the inaugural Triangular Hockey League season against Yale, Harvard was able to overcome a 3-goal middle frame from the Elis with one of their own in the third to win the game 5–4. The next game against the Dartmouth Club saw a return to 20-minute halves, but the match progressed similarly with the opponents building a multi-goal lead that Harvard was just able to overcome and claim victory.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Three nights later Harvard downed the official team from Dartmouth and were beginning to get used to the style of play necessitated by the size of the Pavilion. By the time Harvard played Tufts they had rounded into form and dominated the Jumbos 8–0 while using their alternates for most of the game. The offensive heart of the team, Edward Bigelow, returned from an injury just in time for the first game against Princeton. After the Tigers opened the scoring, Bigelow tied the game and set up an offensive deluge that resulted in a 4–1 lead after the first period. The teams played tighter in the final two frames but Harvard's defense was up to the task and the Crimson responded to every Tiger goal to take the game by a final score of 6–3.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
A 5-goal game from Bigelow paced the team in their 8–0 win over MIT But the team was far more impressive in their 4–3 win over the Boston All Stars. Even with several fluky goals, and a bit of controversy over the game-winner, Harvard was able to run their winning streak to 7 games at the end of the most strenuous stretch of their season. Harvard won one more home game before preparing to head south and play Yale at the Philadelphia Ice Palace.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
With the game played on a surface even larger than modern Olympic rinks, Harvard was dominant throughout the game, their first 7-on-7 match of the season. Only through the brilliant goaltending of Walker was Harvard's score limited to 3 goals. The win gave the season series to Harvard as well as the intercollegiate championship. The Crimson still had to finish their series with Princeton, but the Tigers' record was so poor that even if they were to win the series Harvard would still possess the crown for 1920.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
In the end, however, Princeton proved no match for Harvard and the Crimson were able to post their biggest victory over the Tigers to that point with a 10–1 win. Captain Walker left the game late with a broken nose but that minor injury couldn't detract from the overpowering performance that cemented Harvard's ninth Intercollegiate Championship.


1919–20 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard was reported as both the Intercollegiate Champion and Eastern Intercollegiate Champion at the time. While the midwestern schools had just begun their programs and they would not regularly play the eastern teams for several years, none played more than a handful of games and most matches were not intercollegiate contests. This left Harvard with a claim for a unified National Championship, the last such claim until 1948.


1919–20 Heart of Midlothian F.C. season
During the 1919–20 season Hearts competed in the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Cup and the East of Scotland Shield.


1919–20 Hibernian F.C. season

The 1919–20 Hong Kong First Division League season was the 12th since its establishment.


1919–20 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season
Huddersfield Town's 1919–20 campaign was one of the most memorable season in Town's entire history. It could even have been their last, after just 12 years. This was mainly because of plans to amalgamate the club with the new Leeds United team. However, Town's fan bought shares in the team, which saw the team survive and then gain promotion to the top-flight, as well as an appearance in the FA Cup Final against Aston Villa.

1919–20 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
After the end of World War I, the league schedule was returned to its normal status with Town still in Division 2. However, people were starting to wonder what the future would hold for the club after the club's first England international Jack Cock was sold to Chelsea. Then it was revealed that the club was to amalgamate with the new Leeds United team, formed following the demise of Leeds City. But, the people of Huddersfield rallied round and bought £30,000 worth of shares, which saw the club survive for the time being.


1919–20 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
