1928 in Afghanistan, April 5
From Angora the royal party proceeds to Constantinople, and after spending a few days there sail in a Turkish steamer to Batum, with an escort of Turkish and Russian warships. On June 9 they arrive at Tehran, where they are greeted by the shah and his son the valiahd in the presence of large crowds. On June 16 they leave Tehran for Meshed by motor car, and thence journey via Herat, Farah, Kandahar, Mukur, and Ghazni partly by car and partly by aeroplane to Kabul, where they arrive on July 1, after an absence of nearly seven months. A huge crowd has gathered from all parts of the country to welcome them, and their return is made the occasion for great festivities.


1928 in Afghanistan, April
An agreement is concluded between Afghanistan and Russia for an air service between Kabul and Tashkent.


1928 in Afghanistan, May 25
A close treaty of friendship and security, to be valid in the first instance for ten years, is concluded between Afghanistan and Turkey.


1928 in Afghanistan, June
A pretender to the throne, who claims that he is a grandson of the amir Mohammad Yakub, appears in Kabul, but he is soon discovered to be an impostor and secures no following. Other than this, the country has remained perfectly peaceful during the absence of the king.


1928 in Afghanistan, July
Shortly after the king's return, complaints reach his ear that he has spent on his tour money which could ill be spared from the public treasury. He silences such murmurings by pointing out that he has brought back presents far outweighing in value the expense of the tour. He can also boast truly that he has made Afghanistan known to the world as a country with great potentialities, and one whose friendship is worth cultivating.


1928 in Afghanistan, July
Among the definite results of his trip he is able to announce the impending conclusion of treaties with thirteen states, agreements with French and German companies to undertake a survey preparatory to the construction of a railroad linking Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, and Kushk, and the acquisition of over 50,000 rifles, over 100 cannon, six model machine guns, six tanks, and five armoured cars. The bulk of this armament, however, does not reach Afghanistan within the year. King Amanullah's tour has impressed on him more strongly than ever the advantages of European civilization.


1928 in Afghanistan, July
Contact with the great personages of the West has put a keen edge upon his reforming zeal, and he is determined to follow as closely as possible in the footsteps of his distinguished co-religionist, Mustafa Kemal of Turkey. Dazzled by the latter's success, he overlooks the fact that there is a fundamental difference between Turkey and Afghanistan: the Turks are a fairly homogeneous people with a long tradition of obedience to a central authority, whereas the Afghans are a conglomeration of diverse tribes accustomed to a certain measure of autonomy and attached to their local customs.


1928 in Afghanistan, July
He is advised by the foreigners at his court and the most prudent of his counsellors to proceed slowly with his reforms, but in his eagerness to Westernize the country he resolves to make the pace even more rapidly than his Turkish confrère. The first fruits of the tour are made apparent to their subjects a few days after their return when the queen sits through a state banquet without the purdah or religious veil. The mullahs are greatly scandalized and remonstrate with the king. He points out to them that the working women in the villages do not wear the purdah, and bids them see to their own flocks. They are nonplussed for the moment, but are nevertheless reconciled to the king's innovations.


1928 in Afghanistan, August
A loya jirga (assembly of the people) is held at Paghman, and discusses a number of the reforms proposed by the king.


1928 in Afghanistan, August
It is decided among other things to replace the Council of State with a National Assembly of 150 members selected from the Grand Assembly for three years, and to which government servants shall be ineligible; that the period of compulsory military service shall be extended from two to three years and all exemptions abolished; that preaching certificates shall be introduced for Afghan mullahs and that mullahs from neighbouring countries shall be excluded; and that persons entering the government service in future shall not have more than one wife.


1928 in Afghanistan, August
It is also resolved that Afghanistan shall adopt a tricoloured flag in place of the present black flag, which is said to be an emblem of mourning, not fitting for Afghanistan since she achieved her independence. The king also desires to prohibit the marriage of youths before 22 and girls before 18, but he cannot persuade the assembly to agree to this. Hardly is the jirga over when a number of mullahs begin to preach sedition among the people. The king promptly arrests the ringleaders, and on October 30 the chief kadi of Kabul and three other mullahs are executed.


1928 in Afghanistan, August
The king meanwhile proceeds with his scheme of reforms. He has already decreed that education up to a certain point shall be compulsory for all and free for the poor. By the end of October several roads and bridges are being constructed, telegraphs and telephones are working between Kabul and the chief towns, and college buildings are being erected in Kabul and Kandahar. For the improvement of the Army, 65 officers have gone to Russia, France, and Italy, and 20 more are to go to England, while a Staff College is to be opened at Khurd Zabitan.


1928 in Afghanistan, August
For the furtherance of the king's various schemes numerous foreigners are invited to the country. The king is desirous to introduce the system of cabinet government, but Shir Ahmad Khan, to whom he entrusted the task, is unable to form a cabinet, and he has, as he says, to be his own prime minister.


1928 in Afghanistan, End of November
The reforming activities of the king are brought to a sudden stop by the revolt of the Shinwaris, a powerful tribe in eastern Afghanistan, much under the influence of the mullah of Chaknaur. They assemble in force in the neighbourhood of Jalalabad, and besiege that city. The king finds that in the hour of need he cannot rely upon his army, which is disaffected because its pay is in arrears. He therefore, after some indecisive fighting, begins to parley with the rebels in order to induce them to lay down their arms.


1928 in Afghanistan, End of November
A truce of ten days is declared early in December, during which the tribesmen consider the king's proposals. As he does not consent to abandon his reforms, they again take up arms at the end of the truce. At the same time (December 17) other tribesmen, acting apparently without any concert with the Shinwaris, gather in force near Kabul. They are led by a Tajik brigand named Habibullah, but familiarly known as Bacha-i-Saqao or "son of the water-carrier," and are joined by numbers of disaffected persons, both soldiers and others, from Kabul itself.


1928 in Afghanistan, End of November
Kabul is reduced to a state of siege, and the king and queen judge it prudent to retire within the Arg, the fortified part of the palace. Although the rebels disclaim any hostility to the members of the British legation, the legation buildings, which are situated outside of the town in the zone of fighting, suffer damage from stray shots. The position being regarded as dangerous, five British aeroplanes on December 23 fly across from Peshawar and take off all the women and children to the number of about a dozen. Between that date and the end of the year the women and children from the other legations are rescued in a similar manner. The gallantry of the British airmen makes a great impression throughout Europe. The Russian women and children are conveyed northwards by Russian aeroplanes.


1928 in Afghanistan, December 25
Bacha-i-Saqao suddenly retires with his troops to the mountains, and the king considers himself out of danger; the queen has already made her escape to Kandahar. His last act in the year is to reward his troops at Kabul with two months' pay and to increase the pay of his bodyguard from 14 to 20 rupees a month. When the new year opens, the king is still retaining a precarious hold upon the throne at Kabul. On the east the Shinwari and other tribes are at Jalalabad debating whether to advance on Kabul or not.


1928 in Afghanistan, December 25
For the moment they are parleying with the king's brother-in-law and minister, Ali Ahmad Jan, whose forces, however, are quite insufficient to keep them in check. From the north, Kabul is threatened by Bacha-i-Saqao and his army; though they were beaten off they are still encamped in force about twenty miles (30 km) away.


1928 in Afghanistan, 1928
The first women's organisation in Afghanistan, the Anjuman-i Himayat-i-Niswan, is founded the Queen Soraya Tarzi.

The first half of the 1928-29 season began on September 1, 1928. This season saw the onset of the Soccer War., a struggle between the American Soccer League and the United States Football Association for control of the sport. It began when the league boycotted the National Challenge Cup in September 1928. Within a week, three ASL teams, Bethlehem Steel, Newark Skeeters and New York Giants, defied the boycott and entered the cup. On September 24, 1928, Bill Cunningham, president of the American Soccer League, suspended the three teams and fined them each $1000.00.

In response, the USFA helped create a competing league, the Eastern Professional Soccer League which included the three teams suspended by the ASL, as well as teams from the Southern New York Soccer Association and the newly created New York Hakoah. In a bizarre twist, the first half of the season ended for some teams as early as December 25, 1928, and for others as late as January 13, 1929. The second half of the season then began on December 29, 1928, for some team and for other, not until January 5 or January 13, 1929. This created a situation in which some teams were still playing first half games while other teams were playing their second half games.

1928–29 Boston Bruins season
The 1928–29 Boston Bruins season was the Bruins' fifth season in the NHL. Boston defended its American Division title, and went on to defeat the New York Rangers in the Final to become the third American-based team to become Stanley Cup champions.


1928–29 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
In the off-season, the Bruins acquired Cy Denneny from the Ottawa Senators, who became a player-coach for the team, taking over from Art Ross, who stepped down to concentrate on his general manager duties. The team also had a new goaltender with the retirement of Hal Winkler, rookie Tiny Thompson, who spent the 1927–28 season with the Bruins' farm team, the Minneapolis Millers of the AHA, and a promising new forward, Cooney Weiland, who also played with Minneapolis. The team also moved into a new home, the Boston Madison Square Garden. In their debut game at the Garden, the Bruins lost 1–0 to the Montreal Canadiens.


1928–29 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
Boston got off to a slow start, and through their first 14 games, the Bruins had a record of 5–7–2, tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates. As the season progressed, Boston made a few trades, acquiring star Mickey MacKay from the Pirates and Bill Carson from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Lester Patrick and the New York Rangers offered Winthrop native Myles Lane to the Bruins, astonishingly asking for superstar Eddie Shore in return. Bruins' general manager Art Ross replied famously, "You are so many Myles from Shore you need a life preserver." Nonetheless, the Bruins purchased Lane's rights for $7,500.


1928–29 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
Further, Weiland was matched with Dit Clapper and Dutch Gainor on a powerful forward line which garnered the nickname "Dynamite Line," one of the first named forward lines in history. The Bruins rebounded with a 13-game unbeaten streak, which gave them a 16–7–4 record and suddenly in contention with the New York Rangers for top spot in the American Division. Boston had a 10–6–1 record in their remaining 17 games, and held off the Rangers to defend their American Division and the Prince of Wales Trophy, finishing with a 26–13–5 mark and a team record 57 points.


1928–29 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
Harry Oliver led Boston in scoring, with 17 goals and 23 points. Dutch Gainor and defenseman Eddie Shore finished just behind Oliver with 19 points, while rookie Cooney Weiland tallied 11 goals and 18 points. Shore led the club with 96 penalty minutes, while team captain Lionel Hitchman finished with 64 penalty minutes.

In goal, Tiny Thompson had an impressive rookie season, winning 26 games while posting a 1.15 goals against average—both Bruins' records, as well as recording 12 shutouts. Thompson's 1.15 GAA remains the Bruins' single-season record and is the second lowest ever recorded over a full season in NHL history.

1928–29 Boston Bruins season, Playoffs
In the playoffs, Boston had a first round bye, due to finishing on top of the American Division, and faced the Montreal Canadiens, the winners of the Canadian Division, in the semi-finals in a best-of-five series. The series began with two games at the Boston Garden, and the Bruins, led by Tiny Thompson, won both games by identical 1–0 scores to take a 2–0 series lead. Game Three shifted to Montreal, and while the Canadiens were able to solve Thompson for two goals, Boston scored three of their own, and swept the series.


1928–29 Boston Bruins season, Playoffs
In the Stanley Cup Final, Boston faced their divisional rival – and the team that eliminated them from the playoffs the previous season – the New York Rangers in a best-of-three series. New York had defeated the Detroit Cougars and the Toronto Maple Leafs to earn a spot in the Final. Game One was played in Boston, and Thompson again shut the door, as the Bruins won the game 2–0. Boston completed the two game sweep at Madison Square Garden in New York City, defeating the Rangers 2–1, to clinch the first Stanley Cup in team history and making them the third American team to win the Cup championship.


1928–29 Bradford City A.F.C. season
The 1928–29 Bradford City A.F.C. season was the 22nd in the club's history.

1928–29 Brentford F.C. season
During the 1928–29 English football season, Brentford competed in the Football League Third Division South. An unbeaten start to the season was cancelled out by a run of 11 defeats in 12 games which left the Bees bottom of the Football League, but the team recovered to finish in mid-table.


1928–29 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Still in search of a winning formula after two mid-table finishes, Brentford manager Harry Curtis elected to add to rather than remodel of his squad during the 1928 off-season. In came goalkeeper Freddie Fox, full back Baden Herod for a £1,500 club record fee, half back Reginald Davies and a number of young forwards. He also brought in his former Gillingham trainer Bob Kane. Youngster Joe Wiggins broke Brentford's outgoing transfer record in May 1928, with Leicester City paying £1,400 for a centre forward who had made just four senior appearances and scored two goals.


1928–29 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Good goalscoring form from Jack Lane and Jack Phillips at the start of the season saw Brentford go seven matches unbeaten and rise to the top of the table. Phillips was then sold to Bristol Rovers and a run of 12 league matches without a win (including a club record-equalling 9 league defeats in a row) plummeted the club to the bottom of the Football League. Manager Curtis was offered the manager's job of an unnamed Second Division club in mid-October, but elected to stay at Griffin Park.


1928–29 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
In November 1928, Manager Harry Curtis pulled off a crucial £500 signing of Jimmy Bain from Manchester Central and the centre half galvanised the team. Just three defeats in 18 matches between Boxing Day 1928 and April Fools' Day 1929 averted any fears of having to campaign for re-election. Manager Curtis decided to cash in on club record signing Baden Herod, who was sold for a then-club record outgoing fee of £4,000 to Tottenham Hotspur in February 1929. Just one draw from the final five matches of the season dropped Brentford to a final placing of 13th. A minor competition, the London Charity Fund, was won in November 1928 and gold medals were presented to the players involved.


1928–29 British Home Championship
The 1928–29 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations during the 1928–29 season. The competition was won by Scotland, who won all three matches with strong attacking football epitomised by Hughie Gallacher, who scored seven of his team's 12 goals in hat tricks over Wales and Ireland.


1928–29 British Home Championship
Both England and Scotland began strongly, England defeating the Irish at home, whilst the Scots did likewise against the Welsh in a commanding performance. England then became tournament front–runners by beating Wales away 3–2. Wales and Ireland drew 2–2 in the last game for the Welsh, a result which put both sides out of contention for tournament champion. Scotland's next match was in Ireland and the ensuing ten goal thriller made them favourites for the trophy as they put seven goals past the Irish, conceding three in return. In the final game, both England and Scotland performed strongly, but buoyed by their recent rout of the Irish in Belfast, Scotland secured the tournament with a late goal from Alec Cheyne.


1928–29 Buffalo Bulls men's basketball team

1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season
The 1928–29 season was the 28th season of competitive football played by Cardiff City F.C. and the team's eighth consecutive year in the First Division of the Football League. Having finished in sixth place the previous year, the team had a significantly worse season after being plagued by injuries to several first team players. Despite conceding the fewest goals in the league, they were relegated from the First Division after finishing bottom.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season
In the FA Cup Cardiff suffered similar struggles and were knocked out in the third round after losing 6–1 to Aston Villa. As of August 2020, the loss remains the club's worst defeat in the competition. In the Welsh Cup, they reached the final for the third consecutive season but were defeated 3–0 by Connah's Quay & Shotton.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season
Hughie Ferguson was the club's top goalscorer for the third consecutive season, netting 15 times in all competitions. He achieved this despite missing nearly half of the campaign due to injury, playing in only 23 games. John Jennings made the most appearances of any player and was ever present during the season, playing in every senior team fixture.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
Cardiff City were competing in the First Division of the Football League for the eighth consecutive season. They finished in sixth position the previous season, despite being the third lowest scoring side in the First Division and being in the top ten for goals conceded during the campaign. An economic downturn in the South Wales region that had begun two years previously continued to impact the club as attendance figures dropped significantly and required the sale of several first team players during the campaign, including two members of the 1927 FA Cup Final winning team, Sam Irving and Ernie Curtis.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
Still limited by a lack of funds, manager Fred Stewart had signed several players from non-league sides during the final months of the previous season, such as Matt Robinson, Tom Helsby, William Roberts and Francis Harris, who formed part of the first team for the 1928–29 season. In an attempt to improve the club's goalscoring record, Stan Davies was signed from fellow First Division side Birmingham. Two others, Leslie Jones and Emlyn John also arrived from nearby Welsh sides Aberdare Athletic and Mid Rhondda respectively.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
Cardiff had undertaken a tour of Denmark at the end of the previous season and had shown interest in signing Creutz Jensen, who had impressed the club's delegation in one match. The board secured his signing on a free transfer but he was denied a work permit by the Ministry of Labour and the move, which would have seen him become the first foreign player in the club's history, subsequently collapsed.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
At boardroom level, Walter Parker was reappointed as chairman having taken a year out in which his position had been held by Watkins J. Williams. The club had invested a significant portion of its profits from winning the 1927 FA Cup in constructing a new roof for the 18,000 capacity Grange End Stand at Ninian Park. The new stand was due to be opened for the club's first home game of the season on 1 September 1928.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Cardiff began the season with an away match against Newcastle United on 25 August 1928. Hughie Ferguson, the club's top goalscorer for the previous two campaigns, opened his account from the penalty spot as the match ended in a 1–1 draw. The club's first home match of the season was against Burnley on 1 September and was preceded by an opening ceremony for the newly constructed roof above the Grange End Stand which was led by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, Arthur John Howell.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Ferguson continued his strong start to the season by scoring five times, with Len Davies adding a brace, during a 7–0 victory. As of August 2020, the result remains the team's largest win in the top tier while Ferguson's tally of five is the most scored by a Cardiff player in a league match, tied with Walter Robbins and Jim Henderson. Their first defeat of the season followed a week later as they lost 2–0 to Derby County.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Ferguson scored a brace on 10 September during a 3–2 win over West Ham United, with Billy Thirlaway also scoring his first of the season. Stan Davies scored his first goal for the club following his transfer in the next match, but was unable to stop the side losing 3–1 to Sheffield United.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Ferguson continued his scoring streak with a goal in a 1–1 draw in the reverse fixture with West Ham on 17 September and another during a 4–0 win over Bury five days later, taking his tally to ten goals in the opening seven games of the campaign to help his side to fifth place. However, Cardiff's positive start quickly ended as the first team encountered an injury crisis. Already without Tom Watson since the start of the season, Cardiff lost both Ferguson and Jimmy Nelson to injury in their next two games, defeats to Aston Villa and Leicester City. Nelson's injury ultimately ended his season, as he appeared only two more times that year, while Ferguson was plagued by injury, missing more than half of the remaining matches.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Cardiff gained their second away point of the season in a 1–1 draw with Manchester United on 13 October with George McLachlan scoring his first goal of the season. With Ferguson absent, Cardiff struggled in front of goal, losing back-to-back fixtures 1–0 against Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday and dropping into the bottom six in the table despite possessing one of the best defensive records in the division. Stewart experimented with William Shaw, Francis Harris and Stan Davies in Ferguson's place but all were quickly replaced.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Ferguson returned in a 1–1 draw with Arsenal, with Tom Sloan scoring his first league goal for the club. However, Sloan also succumbed to injury after the game and, like Nelson, would appear in only two further league matches for the rest of the season. Ferguson appeared in two further games, a 1–0 defeat to reigning league champions Everton and a goalless draw with Huddersfield Town, before again dropping out of the first team due to injury.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Cardiff ended November with a 1–1 draw with Manchester City. Potter Smith scored only the side's second goal in their previous six matches. On 1 December, Cardiff were beaten 4–1 by Birmingham but, in their following match, they secured their first victory in nearly three months by beating fellow strugglers Portsmouth. Albert Miles scored the only goal of the game to give Cardiff their first win in 11 matches to move them out of the relegation zone.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Teenager Walter Robbins, who made his professional debut against Portsmouth, scored his first senior goal to earn his side a 1–1 draw with Bolton Wanderers on 15 December but two further defeats on 22 and 25 December against Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United left Cardiff in the relegation zone again. Thirlaway and Harry Wake provided some respite for the side to end the calendar year as the pair scored both goals in a 2–1 victory in the reverse fixture against Leeds and a 2–0 win over Newcastle on 29 December.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
Cardiff were defeated by Bolton and Burnley in the first week of 1929, but were boosted by Ferguson's first goals since September in a 3–0 win over Derby on 19 January. He had returned from injury for the second time shortly after the Christmas period and scored a brace in the win, with McLachlan adding the other. However, the club's lack of proficiency in front of goal continued to be a problem as they recorded a goalless draw with Sheffield United on 26 January, failing to score in three of their four matches in the month. Ferguson added another goal on 2 February, but his side fell to a 4–1 defeat against fellow strugglers Bury.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
Cardiff recorded consecutive 2–0 defeats against Aston Villa and Leicester in mid-February before securing their first point of the month with a 2–2 draw with Manchester United. Ferguson scored his 14th league goal of the campaign during the match, but it proved to be his final appearance of the season as he finally succumbed to the injuries that had plagued him during the campaign. The match was also the final game at the club for the other goalscorer, Stan Davies.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
He scored his second of the campaign, but departed soon after to take up a position as player-manager at Rotherham United. Stewart made two signings during this period to try to improve the club's fortunes, adding former England international Frank Moss from Aston Villa and Jimmy Munro from St. Johnstone, the leading goalscorer in the Scottish First Division at the time.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
Despite beginning March with a 1–0 loss against Sunderland, Cardiff's hopes were raised when they defeated league leaders Sheffield Wednesday 3–1 at Ninian Park on 8 March. Thirlaway opened the scoring with his fifth league goal of the season before Len Davies and Fred Warren secured victory. However, the result was followed by three consecutive defeats to Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton, with only one goal scored in the process.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
A draw with Huddersfield on 30 March and a second defeat to Liverpool the following day left Cardiff bottom of the First Division table, two points from safety and having played two games more than the side in 20th place. New signing Munro scored his first goal for the club against Manchester City on 6 April, but the side fell to a 3–1 defeat at Ninian Park. A goalless draw with Birmingham left the club's fate in the hands of the teams above them, with 20th place Burnley needing only a point from their remaining five fixtures to confirm Cardiff's relegation.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
Cardiff were officially relegated on 20 April as they failed to beat relegation rivals Portsmouth, drawing 1–1 at Ninian Park with a goal from Munro. Their final match of the season was another 1–1 draw at Ninian Park, this time against Blackburn Rovers with only 5,738 spectators attending. Unusually, Cardiff finished bottom of the First Division table despite conceding fewer goals than any other team in the league. However, their defensive record was outweighed by their poor offence as they possessed easily the league's lowest scoring side, scoring 13 fewer goals than the next-lowest scoring team. In total, they scored only 43 goals in 42 league games, failing to score in 17 matches during the campaign.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Cardiff entered the FA Cup in the third round and were drawn against fellow First Division side Aston Villa. In the match, Cardiff suffered a heavy 6–1 defeat with Billy Hardy scoring their goal. As of August 2020, the result remains Cardiff's biggest defeat in the competition.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Welsh Cup
Holders of the competition for the second consecutive year, Cardiff began their Welsh Cup campaign by overcoming Lovell's Athletic in the fifth round. Ferguson, Harris and Len Davies each scored to secure a 3–1 victory. In the sixth round, Munro scored the only goal of the game to defeat Newport County. In a repeat of the previous year, Cardiff defeated Rhyl in the semi-final to reach their third consecutive final.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Welsh Cup
In the final, they met Connah's Quay & Shotton and were considered the overwhelming favourites in the media for the match. However, the opposition side caused a major upset by winning 3–0, a defeat which Christian Saunders describes in his 2013 book From the Ashes – The Real Story of Cardiff City Football Club as "one of the biggest shocks the  ...  tournament ever produced".


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Player details
During the course of the season, Stewart used a significantly higher number of players due to injury and form, with 30 making at least one appearance during the campaign. John Jennings made more appearances than any other player as he was ever present, playing in all 42 league matches and 5 cup fixtures. Prior to this season, Jennings had normally been considered a reserve player, but the long-term injuries to Nelson and Watson led to him becoming a regular. Keenor and Thirlaway were the only other players to make more than 40 appearances, while four others, Joe Hillier, Jimmy McGrath, Robinson and Watson made a single appearance during the campaign.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Player details
For the third consecutive season, Ferguson was the club's top goalscorer. He scored 15 goals in all competitions, 14 in the league and 1 in the Welsh Cup, despite missing nearly half of the club's matches during the campaign due to injury. Len Davies was the only other player to reach double figures during the season, scoring 10 times. The club's poor goalscoring record was reflected in the fact that, including Ferguson and Len Davies, only four players scored more than twice during the season.

1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
Relegation dropped Cardiff into the Second Division for the first time since their inaugural season in the Football League. The club's decreasing finances and the income drop of falling out of the First Division led to a number of departures before the following season. Top scorer Ferguson returned to Scotland with Dundee. He suffered a loss of form and further injuries on his return and endured considerable barracking from the club's supporters. Less than 8 months after departing Cardiff, he committed suicide in Dundee's home stadium after a training session at the age of 34. Jennings, Hillier and Warren all left the club in January 1930 in a triple transfer to Middlesbrough while McLachlan also departed to join Manchester United.


1928–29 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
In a club programme at the end of the season, Keenor bemoaned Cardiff's injury problems and noted that the season represented "a testing time of true support, both morally and financially." The club struggled on their return to the Second Division and were relegated again two years later to the Third Division South.

1928–29 Chicago Black Hawks season
The 1928–29 Chicago Black Hawks season was the team's third season of play. The Hawks would miss the playoffs for the second straight season.


1928–29 Chicago Black Hawks season, Regular season
The team was coming off a 7–34–3 season, in which they finished in last place in the league. The Black Hawks would let head coach Hugh Lehman go and hire Herb Gardiner to become the team's head coach. This season was also a long one for the club, as they finished with a league worst 7–29–8 record, and 25 points out of a playoff spot. Chicago would score an NHL record worst 33 goals, averaging less than a goal per game, while giving up 85 goals, which was the highest in the league. In one stretch from February 7 through February 28, the Hawks were shut out in eight consecutive games. Gardiner was fired after posting a 5–23–4 record, and for the remainder of the season, the Hawks used team captain Dick Irvin as a player-coach.


1928–29 Chicago Black Hawks season, Regular season
Due to the new Chicago Stadium, the new home of the Black Hawks, not being ready for the 1928–29 season, the team was only able to get ice time at Chicago Coliseum through January. Chicago would then play the rest of their "home" games in Detroit, Michigan and Fort Erie, Ontario in February and March.


1928–29 Chicago Black Hawks season, Regular season
Vic Ripley would have a team high 13 points, which included 11 goals, which was 1/3 of the Hawks goal total. Dick Irvin would score six goals, while youngster Johnny Gottselig scored five. Goaltender Chuck Gardiner saw all the action in net, winning seven games, while posting a 1.85 GAA and earning five shutouts.


1928–29 Chicago Black Hawks season, Regular season
While they improved by their point total by five points over the previous season, they still were a long way from contending for a playoff spot.

The team played hard but the Golden Knights were too much for them and overwhelmed the normally stingy Cornell defense with 5 goals. Rhodes performed well despite taking a stick in the eye and remaining in the contest.

1928–29 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, and the games played against the Crescent Athletic Club and the New York Athletic Club therefore counted as part of Georgetown's won-loss record for 1928-29. 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.


1928–29 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season
The 1928–29 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season was the 31st season of play for the program.


1928–29 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Before the season began a major change had to be undertaken; the Boston Madison Square Garden, the new indoor facility for the Boston Bruins, was going to serve as the new home for Harvard hockey, but due to a lack of ice, the team would have to travel south to use the New York Madison Square Garden for practices. Tex Rickard controlled both buildings and he was willing to let Harvard have access to either. There was also a change of university policy for the team as it was now able to play more than two away games per season.


1928–29 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
The team opened their season with a pair of solid wins and then lost their two-game series against Toronto. Despite the loss, Harvard had pushed the Blues into overtime in both games and looked to be as strong as they were the year before. The second game only ended in a scoreless tie due to Toronto's captain throwing his stick to knock the puck off of a Crimson stick (not a penalty at the time). Harvard's championship hopes were dealt a serious blow when they lost the first game of their collegiate season on Dartmouth's new rink and then had to wait over a month before their next game.


1928–29 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
The Crimson were able to exact some revenge in the rematch against the Indians but they had little margin for error after an easy tilt against Pennsylvania. They entered the series against Yale with their foes having gone undefeated to that point (13–0–1) but Harvard could still spoil the Eli's season. In front of 12,000 spectators at the Garden, Harvard ground out a 2–1 overtime win in a penalty-filled game. The rematch came a week later and once again the home team one, unfortunately that team was Yale.


1928–29 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard was held scoreless throughout the game but the defense remained stout and only surrendered a single goal in the third period. The final game, which would decide whether or not Yale could claim a championship, was played at Yale on the 13th of March and the two teams proved to be the equal of the other once more. While Yale appeared to be the better team at times during the game they would not distance themselves from the Crimson and the two teams finished regulation tied at 2-all. Overtime was needed but after a scoreless 10-minutes another was required. Neither team was able to end the game by the 80th minute so a third extra session was yet required. With both teams visible exhausted Frank Nelson was finally able to score the deciding goal, he just happened to be wearing an Eli sweater.


1928–29 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
While Harvard finished with a less-than-satisfying result and their record was rather poor, the Crimson had played tremendously well through most of the year, they just couldn't get luck to side in their favor in 1929.

1928–29 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
The Terriers seemed to be on top of the world during the last 5 seasons of league football. After winning the title for 3 seasons in a row and finishing 2nd the next 2 seasons, some were wondering what would happen during this season. Unfortunately, they should not have asked. The only good points of the season came from 3 of the 14 league wins, 6-1 victories over Yorkshire rivals Leeds United and Sheffield United and a 7-1 win over Pennine rivals Burnley. They also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, before losing to Bolton Wanderers at Anfield.
