After the scare Cincinnati gave the Panthers last year, Coach Warner jogged their memory: "Some of you fellows remember that Cincinnati handed us a surprise package last fall on our own grounds," said Warner. "We defeated them, but not by a very creditable score. They will be much harder to beat today, and any lapses on your part are liable to prove fatal to our chances. I want every man to go in there to fight from the first whistle until the game is over, and, if I find any man doing less than what I considered his best, he will be yanked without ceremony."

It was Hewitt, the mastodonic fullback of the Panthers who, with the score tied in the fourth period of a game which at times was highly spectacular and again at times mediocre, intercepted a forward pass on the Pitt 30 yard line, ripped, tore and worked himself loose and then outran and took the heart out of four Orange tacklers. Hewitt covered 70 yards...and panting and 'all in,' rested the ball behind the posts for Pittsburgh's first real victory of the season."

The third road game of the 1922 season was across the state to do battle with third-year coach John Heisman's Penn Quakers on Franklin Field in Philadelphia. "Penn has never beaten Pittsburgh.

Penn owned a 5-1 record, the only blemish being a 9-7 loss to Alabama the previous Saturday. The Quakers' line was anchored by tackle John Thurman, a 1922 consensus All-American. Starting guard Al Papworth was injured in the Alabama game and was out of the lineup. Otherwise, Penn was ready and their Captain, halfback “Poss” Miller, addressed a pep rally: "We're going to give them h_; we might not win, but they'll know they have been in a battle."

Coach Warner had injury problems of his own. Jack Sack, starting guard, broke his thumb "and the digit is wrapped around with enough bandage to stake the Red Cross through another war." Second string quarterback Nick Shuler did not make the trip so Warner decided to start Charles Winterburn. "Everybody in the Pitt party anticipates a hard game. In short, Penn, anxious to atone for its defeat by Alabama last week, ...has its back to the wall and should be tough to beat."


1922 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Penn
The Pitt Weekly summarized: "Despite Penn's determination to wipe out all previous Panther defeats, to atone for the Alabama defeat a week ago, and to 'make Pitt join the Navy', Pitt was the possessor of a victorious end of a 7-6 score when the game terminated." The failure of Penn fullback/kicker Ernest "Tex" Hamer, who had not missed all season, to convert the extra point after halfback George Sullivan's spectacular 41-yard scamper for a fourth quarter touchdown was the difference in the game. Pitt tackle Cullen Gourley broke through the line and deflected the kick to save the victory for the Panthers.


1922 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Penn
"Pittsburgh scored a touchdown seven minutes after the initial kickoff, the gigantic Hewitt crashing through the tally. Williams, tall and lithe Panther, promptly snatched the extra point by driving the ball over the crossbar, straight and true." There was no more scoring until Sullivan's heroics in the fourth period. Pitt missed a field goal near the end of the third period, and the Pitt offense advanced the ball inside the Penn 20-yard line three times but the Penn defense kept them out of the end zone. Pitt gained 223 yards to Penn's 113, and Pitt earned 14 first downs to Penn's 6. Penn finished the season with a 6-3 record.

The "game of the year" against in-state rival Washington & Jefferson College took place on November 18. The ticket demand for this game was a nightmare for the Pitt Graduate Manager. The Pittsburgh Press reported: "Any Pitt students detected scalping will be expelled from the University, a rule to this effect having been adopted by the board of trustees of the university. The students were permitted to purchase only two tickets each, and each signed a statement to the effect that, if called upon, he was willing to make affidavit that the pasteboards were for members of his immediate family." Government and city officials have the police department on alert and anyone seen offering tickets for sale on the streets will be arrested.

Coach Warner warned: "This is not an attempt to alibi in advance, but the actual facts, as I feel it is due to the team to let their supporters know of the handicaps they are working under. Pitt will fight. There is no question about that. While Pitt appears to be outclassed, the Panthers are certainly not overawed by the seeming superiority of the 'wonder team."

Regis M. Welsh of The Pittsburgh Sunday Post wrote: "With a crash that could be heard around the football world, Wash-Jeff, (unbeaten) in 18 consecutive games, unofficial champions of the world and the alleged greatest football team in the elastic boundaries of the east during the last two years, was toppled from its high and mighty place, beaten, routed, and outclassed from start to finish yesterday by the Pitt Panther, at Forbes Field, ground into the mud and muck of the rain-soaked field and forced to admit that Glenn Warner, whom they beat last year, is head and shoulders above all other coaches when it comes to delivering a punch at the crucial moment, priming his team for their greatest test and then galloping away with the ease of a thoroughbred." The final score was 19-0.

Coach Warner was pleased: "The Panthers showed what they could do when thoroughly aroused. Without Holleran, Shuler or Colonna, and with Flanagan just out of bed, they gave a wonderful exhibition. They certainly deserved to win, and every man on the team is deserving of glory." W. & J. Captain Brenkert was humbled: "We lost, that's all there is to it. Pitt outplayed us.

Penn State had a strong team with three members of the squad earning All-American honors – guard Joe Bedenk, center Newsh Bentz and halfback Harry Wilson. "Advance reports say that the Bezekians are in perfect fettle, and that, while not boasting about their ability, are grimly determined to come out on top tomorrow, and crown their season a success, in spite of their defeats by Navy and Penn."

The Pitt Weekly pleaded for more student spirit to be shown at the game: "To use the slang expression Pitt students must 'snap out of it'. 'Pop' Warner has whipped the team into shape for tomorrow's fray -- 'Pop' and his warriors have done their part in preparing for The Battle -- now it is up to every student to come out of the trance and help in spirit to Beat Penn State."

"With the State defense drawn up tight against the center of the line, Flanagan dashed off right end, collided head on with the goal post and fell over the goal line, to the accompaniment of the wild cheers of the Pitt rooters and the 'Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here!' of the prancing Pitt band." Flanagan shook off the effects of his run-in with the goal post and Frank Williams kicked the goal after. Pitt led 7 to 0.

Pitt had possession on its 34-yard line at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Pitt offense advanced the ball steadily to the State 15-yard line. A forward pass from Flanagan to John Anderson "as the latter was crossing the line gave Pitt the second and last touchdown." Williams was good on the point after and Pitt won 14-0. Penn State finished the season with a 6-4-1 record. (Ironically, Penn State with their mediocre 6-3-1 record went on to play in the Rose Bowl! The Rose Bowl committee wanted Penn State and agreed three months before the 1922 season to invite the Lions. The Nittanies lost to USC 14-3.)

The Panthers embarked on their 6,000 mile round trip on December 21 at 9 p.m. The next morning they were in Chicago and were feted by the Windy City Pitt alumni with breakfast at the Hotel LaSalle, while the train cars were attached to the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul Transcontinental Limited. The train departed at 11:25 a.m. and four hours later in Savanna, IL, the team got off the train and had a short workout.

Jack James of The San Francisco Examiner had an interesting take on the game: "The Pittsburgh-Stanford football game tomorrow brings about a most peculiar situation. Here is Glenn Warner, active coach of one team, and head advisory guardian angel of the other. His right hand is meeting his left hand when Pittsburgh and Stanford take the field. In short, it's the only known case of 'heads I win, tails you lose' in intercollegiate football, and as such, unique."


1922 Pittsburgh Panthers football team, Game summaries, at Stanford
Coach Warner was worried: "I am a little worried over the outcome of tomorrow's game. Our trip across the continent hasn't done us any good, and Pittsburgh probably won't play as good a game as we did against Penn State. Andy's boys will probably play the best game of the year." Andy Kerr countered: "We're going to play that crowd off its feet tomorrow.... I believe Stanford will play its best game tomorrow. All the boys are in good condition."

After the game Jack James of The Examiner posted: "The University of Pittsburgh football eleven, which is coached directly by Mr. Warner, defeated the Stanford varsity eleven, which is indirectly supervised by Mr. Warner, here today buy a score of 16 to 7. It was a sweeping triumph for Warner coaching methods."

1922 Polish legislative election
Parliamentary elections were held in Poland on 5 November 1922, with Senate elections held a week later on 12 November. The elections were governed by the March Constitution of Poland, and saw the Christian Union of National Unity coalition emerge as the largest bloc in the  Sejm with 163 of the 444 seats.


1922 Polish legislative election
The resulting coalitions were unstable, and the situation - difficult from the start, with assassination of Polish president Gabriel Narutowicz in December shortly after the elections - culminated in 1926 with the May Coup.


1922 Polish legislative election, Ethnoreligious voting analysis
According to Kopstein and Wittenberg, 39% of the majority Catholic population voted for right-wing parties, 29% for non-revolutionary left-wing parties and 25% for centrist parties. The other ethnoreligious groups, including Uniates, Jews and Orthodox Christians voted largely for parties representing minority groups.


1922 Polish legislative election, Ethnoreligious voting analysis
Some regional differences were observed; in western Poland, 9% of the Catholic vote went to minority interest parties, which has been attributed in part to German Catholic voting, but in the east, only 1% did. Ethnic Polish support for the right wing was stronger in the east of the country, where 40% voted for right-wing parties, as opposed to the south where 16% did. No detectable regional variation existed among Jews.


1922 Polish legislative election, Ethnoreligious voting analysis
The lack of support for the center and right among the major minorities (Jews, Ukrainians and Belarusians) was attributed to ethnic polarization that was exacerbated by discrimination and chauvinism from Polish officials. Despite the success of minority parties, parties describing themselves as "Polish" refused to form a government with minority parties, and there was not one non-ethnic Polish cabinet member in the interwar period, though interethnic cooperation could still be seen in Ukrainian and Belarusian support for the Sikorski government.


1922 Polish presidential elections
The 1922 presidential elections were the first two Polish presidential elections in history, held eleven days apart.


1922 Polish presidential elections, First election
After acquisition of independence of Poland the head of state was Naczelnik Państwa Józef Piłsudski. In a new constitution adopted by the Polish Sejm, the new head of state was to be the President of Republic of Poland - to be choose by the National Assembly (combined Sejm and Senate). After the parliamentary election, planning began for the first Polish presidential election in history.


1922 Polish presidential elections, First election
The main probable candidate Józef Piłsudski, despite calls for him to contend, did not run for election. He proposed a former Prime Minister, Wincenty Witos, for presidency. Witos also refused. Finally Piłsudski supported the candidature of Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabriel Narutowicz.


1922 Polish presidential elections, First election
At the time of the election the main candidates were count Maurycy Zamoyski, the candidate of National Democracy and Stanisław Wojciechowski, candidate of Polish People's Party "Piast". Narutowicz's good result was a surprise. Once the long voting was over, Zamoyski and Narutowicz advanced to the fifth ballot. Narutowicz finally won the election with the support of "Piast" (Wojciechowski was eliminated on the fourth round).


1922 Polish presidential elections, First election
Narutowicz was sworn in as president on 11 December 1922, but was assassinated just five days later.


1922 Polish presidential elections, Second election
The first election, when President of the Republic of Poland Gabriel Narutowicz was elected after several rounds by joint chambers of Sejm and Senate (at time of Second Polish Republic joint parliament elected president.

According to the Constitution the Sejm Marshal Maciej Rataj became Acting President of the Republic of Poland and organised new elections, which took place on 20 December.

1922 Pontypridd by-election
The Pontypridd by-election of 1922 was held on 25 July 1922. The by-election was held due to the appointment of the incumbent Coalition Liberal MP, Thomas Arthur Lewis, as a Junior Lord of the Treasury. It was won by the Labour candidate Thomas Isaac Mardy Jones. It was the last of only eight ministerial by-elections in the UK not to be retained by the incumbent. The requirement for MPs who were appointed as ministers to seek re-election was entirely abolished by the Re-Election of Ministers Act (1919) Amendment Act 1926.


1922 Portsmouth South by-election

General elections were held in Portugal on 29 January 1922. The Democratic Party emerged as the largest in Parliament, winning 74 of the 163 seats in the House of Representatives and 37 of the 70 seats in the Senate.


1922 Portuguese legislative election, Background
The elections were held less than a year after the July 1921 legislative elections, in which the Republican Liberal Party (PLR) had won a majority of votes. However, on 19 October 1921 ("the night of blood"), a military coup resulted in several republican figures being killed, including PLR prime minister António Granjo. On the night of blood, President António José de Almeida invested Manuel Maria Coelho as Prime Minister, but his government resigned on 3 November. On the same day, Carlos Maia Pinto became Prime Minister, but also resigned on 16 December. Francisco Cunha Leal then served as Prime Minister until the elections. The elections took place amidst instability and violence and were postponed four times before finally taking place on 29 January.


1922 Portuguese legislative election, Aftermath
The Democratic Party failed to win an absolute majority of seats and Afonso Costa chose not to form government. Instead, António Maria da Silva of the Democratic Party became Prime Minister on 6 February, leading a minority government with the support of the Reconstitution Party, the Catholic Centre Party, the Regionalist Party and some independents. However, the government failed to serve a full term after being forced to resign following a motion of no confidence in November 1923. Further instability resulted in seven different governments holding office in the subsequent period until the 1925 elections.

1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game
The 1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game, played October 28, 1922, was a college football game between the Princeton Tigers and Chicago Maroons. The "hotly contested" match-up was the first game to be broadcast nationwide on radio. Princeton's team won, 21–18. It was to be the national champion of 1922, and in this game received its nickname, "Team of Destiny", from Grantland Rice.


1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game, First radio broadcast
It was the first college football game to feature an intersectional audience on radio. The game was broadcast from KYW, a Westinghouse radio station in Chicago, to WEAF, an American Telephone & Telegraph station in New York City, and from there to the rest of the country. Historian Ronald Smith has called it "probably the most important radio broadcast up to that point."


1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game, Game summary
Fullback John Webster Thomas scored Chicago's three touchdowns, one in each of the first three quarters, but the team failed to score an extra point for any of them. Walter Camp wrote in picking Thomas first-team All-American: "It is safe to say he did far more against the Princeton line in effective scoring than did any backs of the East who met the Tigers".


1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game, Game summary
The Tigers had scored a single touchdown in the second quarter, and also the extra point for a total of seven; they then scored two additional touchdowns for 14 points in the final quarter to win the game, while holding Chicago scoreless. With 12 minutes to play and Chicago nursing an 18–7 lead, Howdy Gray of Princeton picked up a Jimmy Pyott fumble and ran it 40 yards for the touchdown. Gray's father, the president of the Union Pacific Railroad, reacted by waving his program in the air, striking a woman in the shoulder. After an additional Princeton touchdown was scored, Chicago responded with a fierce drive ending in a goal line stand with Thomas falling short of the goal. Halfback Harry "Maud" Crum scored Princeton's other touchdowns.


1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game, Aftermath
At one point late in the game, Chicago assistant Fritz Crisler implored Amos Stagg to send in Alonzo Jr. at quarterback to call an end run. Ever the sportsman, Stagg flatly refused, citing afterwards "the rules committee deprecates the use of a substitute to convey information."


1922 Princeton vs. Chicago football game, Aftermath
Both teams finished the contest badly exhausted, especially Princeton, as during the last half of the game the heat was oppressive. The Princeton Alumni Weekly noted: "If this game proved anything at all it proved that a fine forward passing game can defeat a fine line-plunging game."

1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election
The general election in the Republic of Central Lithuania was an election to the Vilnius Sejm (parliament) of the Polish-dominated Republic of Central Lithuania on 8 January 1922. The new parliament was intended to formally legalize incorporation of Central Lithuania into Poland. Such measure was fiercely opposed by Lithuania, which claimed the territory for itself. The election was boycotted by non-Polish population and its results were unrecognized by either the Lithuanian government in Kaunas or the League of Nations. The elected parliament convened in February and, as expected, voted on 20 February 1922 to have the Republic incorporated into Poland. At the end of March 1922, Central Lithuania became Wilno Voivodeship of the Second Polish Republic.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Background
In the aftermath of the staged Żeligowski's Mutiny aimed against Lithuania, a new sham state was created by general Lucjan Żeligowski in Vilnius Region in October 1920. The new Republic of Central Lithuania depended on Poland's economic and military support and was governed by Polish military men. The territory was fiercely contested by Lithuania and Poland.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Background
In demographic terms the city of Vilnius was the least Lithuanian of Lithuanian cities, divided nearly evenly between Poles and Jews, with ethnic Lithuanians constituting a mere fraction of the total population (about 2–3% of the population, according to Russian 1897 and German 1916 censuses). The Lithuanians nonetheless believed that their historical claim to the city (former capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) had precedence and refused to recognize any Polish claims to the city and the surrounding area.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Background
The League of Nations mediated the dispute and strongly advocated a plebiscite where the local population would vote to be incorporated either into Poland or Lithuania. However, neither Poland nor Lithuania wanted the vote. Poland had control of the territory and saw no reason to jeopardize the status quo, especially since it had already lost two plebiscites against Germany (in East Prussia and Upper Silesia). Lithuania did not want to recognize that Poland had a legitimate claim to the region and was afraid to lose the vote, especially if Polish military remained in the region.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Background
As both sides stalled, the plebiscite idea was abandoned in March 1921. Poland and Lithuania entered direct negotiations under mediation of Paul Hymans. He prepared two projects that envisioned a Polish–Lithuanian union, but both of them were rejected by Poland and Lithuania by December 1921. In October 1921, after the failure of the negotiations, the Republic of Central Lithuania scheduled elections for 8 January 1922.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Elections, Preparations
The territory, where elections were to take place, was carved out to maximize the number of Polish residents; for example, Polish-inhabited regions of Lida and Braslaw were included while Lithuanian-inhabited areas around Druskininkai were excluded. According to official Polish election reports, 735,089 people lived in the designated election territory. Of them 11.5% were Jews, 8.8% were Belarusians, and 7.2% were Lithuanians. Requirements for the candidates to the parliament included age (at least 25 years of age), education (at least primary school), and language (good knowledge of Polish).


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Elections, Preparations
Polish authorities formally allowed freedoms of press and of assembly, but provided up to one year in prison for campaigning against the election. This provision was aimed at the Lithuanians, who decided to boycott the elections. The Lithuanian government protested the election and even attempted to revive the idea of the plebiscite under supervision of the League of Nations, but the League was done mediating the Polish–Lithuanian dispute.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Elections, Preparations
Only Polish parties and groups proposed candidates for the election. The right-wing parties advocated for unconditional incorporation into Poland while left-wing sought a special autonomous status with Poland. There was a significant propaganda campaign before the elections. The Lithuanians attempted to win support from the Jewish and Belarusian communities. The Jews generally leaned towards Lithuania, which was seen as more tolerant and more willing to make concessions for the support. However, at the same time, Jews were afraid that support of the Lithuanian cause would be interpreted to be a hostile act against Poland and could worsen their position.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Elections, Results
63.9% of the entire population took part in the voting, but among different ethnic groups the attendance was lower (41% of Belarusians, 15.3% of Jews and 8.2% of Lithuanians). Jewish turnout varied greatly from rural (37.8%) to urban areas (6.3%). In Vilnius, the Jewish turnout was only 1.4%. The two largest political groups in the new parliament were the Association of National Organizations (Polish: Klub Zespołu Stronnictw i Ugrupowań Narodowych) with 43 seats and the Association of People's Councils (Polish: Klub Rad Ludowych) with 34 seats. All the other groups gained 29 seats altogether.


1922 Republic of Central Lithuania general election, Elections, Results
These results were disputed by  Col.

1922 Rose Bowl, Game summary
The Red and Black could only afford to send 11 men on the cross-country trip and graduate manager Robert M. Murphy mortgaged his house to pay his family's way. Thus, W&J would be the last Rose Bowl team to play the same 11 men the entire game. During the train ride to Pasadena, in which Greasy Neale continued to prepare his men, one player caught pneumonia and could not finish the journey. Luckily, another player had secretly stowed away on the train and was given the ill player's ticket and roster spot.

The game was notable as the last time a "small school" would be represented in the Rose Bowl.


1922 Rose Bowl, Game summary
W&J's team featured three Rose Bowl firsts: Herb Kopf was the first freshman to play, Charles Fremont West was the first African American to play quarterback, and Hal Erickson became the only man ever to play in two Rose Bowls, with two teams, without losing.
