1929–30 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
Cornell began the season like it had many before; struggling to get usable ice during a warm winter. Sure enough, the ice wasn't good enough for the team's first scheduled game and the match with Union was postponed. The following week the team headed to Clinton to face Hamilton and, in a surprising result, routed the Continentals 6–0. It was the most goals Cornell had scored in a game in six years and gave hope for a program that was typically bereft of offensive firepower.


1929–30 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
Most of that hope evaporated during the next game when Clarkson throttled Cornell 0–8. The team was able to get several practices in afterwards, during the examination break, and the team returned much better prepared for their next opponent. Cornell made swift work of Colgate, again showing their scoring potential with a 7–1 victory. The game saw the debut of Shields I net for Cornell and coach Bawlf was hoping he had found a new star. Shields took a puck over his eye during practice and sported a sizable gash in the next game against St. Lawrence. Cornell lambasted the Saints, scoring seemingly at will against a team that had given them fits over the previous two years. The win ensured that Cornell would have at least a .500 record for the year and saw every reserve member see some playing time.


1929–30 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season

1929–30 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Despite the team's veteran talent and the winning tradition the school hoped Ripley had established during the previous two years, the 1929-30 Hoyas only managed a 13-12 record. Georgetown did not rehire Dudack for the following season.


1929–30 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Roster

Less than two years after graduating after the end of this season, senior guard Fred Mesmer would become Georgetown's head coach for the 1931-32 season and coach the Hoyas for seven seasons.


1929–30 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, 1929–30 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, and the games played against the Brooklyn Knights of Columbus, the Columbus Knights of Columbus, and the Crescent Athletic Club therefore counted as part of Georgetown's won-loss record for 1929-30. 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.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season
The 1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season was the 32nd season of play for the program.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Prior to the season, in order to settle the confusion caused by using professional referees in amateur games, a meeting was held at the Harvard Club so that colleges could agree on a uniform code of rules to be observed by all. The meeting specifically did not address the new offside rule that the NHL was implementing, though that probably was for the best as the NHL would have to alter its rule during the 1929–30 season to counteract the ballooning goal totals. In addition, Harvard began recording assists as an official statistic for this season.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
For the first time in 6 years Harvard did not open its season against MIT, instead they returned to their former home to play Boston University. Despite the change in opponent, Harvard still won its inaugural game though both teams weren't particularly sharp in the contest. In their annual contests against Canadian colleges, Harvard fell to Toronto twice but then rebounded after shuffling their lineup against usual opponent MIT.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
On January 8 Harvard played only the second game in the program's history against a western opponent when they faced Michigan Tech. The game was a debacle for the visitors as Harvard won 11–0 and looked well on their way to giving Yale a run for the intercollegiate championship. After another win over Boston University, Harvard welcomed Marquette to the Boston Garden on February 5th but the three-week layoff since their previous game appeared to have the Crimson chomping at the bit. Harvard took 10 penalties during the game, giving Marquette two separate 5-on-3 advantages.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
The Crimson defense responded well, holding back the Hilltoppers through most of the game, but Marquette slowly built a 2–1 lead and carried into the third period. With  only 5 minutes remaining both teams began a furious effort to score and four goals were made at the end of the game, however, Harvard couldn't catch Marquette and lost 3–4.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard had their two series against Dartmouth and Yale remaining and redoubled their defensive efforts for the contests. In the two games against the Indians Harvard surrendered just one goal and then had a two week wait for the showdown with their arch rival. The Elis entered the series undefeated for the second year in a row and Harvard would have the honor of trying to spoil their season once more. In the first game the two traded one-goals leads but by the end of 60 minutes the score was tied 2–2 and another overtime thriller was in the making. Harvard double-teamed Hale Palmer, the Elis' high-scoring winger, every time he touched the puck which enabled captain Putnam to score the winner early in the 10-minute extra-session.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
The following week Harvard again prevented Palmer from scoring, but his work in the offensive end caused two of Yale's goals and the Bulldogs won the rematch 3–1. The playoff between the two would decide the Intercollegiate title and both teams prepared for a battle. Harvard, who had been outshone by Yale through most of the season, took two leads during the game but was unable to hold onto either for too long and, once more, overtime was required. Rather than attack, Yale held back, playing a defensive style much like Harvard and the two teams rarely threatened each other's netminders. The result was three rather dull overtime periods and the game ended in a draw.


1929–30 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Plans for a fourth and (hopefully) deciding game began immediately after the contest was over. A few days later, after a conference between the athletic directors of each school, W. J. Bingham of Harvard ultimately decided to end the Crimson's ice hockey season and leave the two without a clear victor. 1930 was the first time since 1900 that Harvard and Yale's ice hockey teams finished with a draw over the course of a season. The result was that both teams had claims to the eastern intercollegiate championship and would have to share the crown.

Following the disappointing 16th-place finish the previous season, Jack Chaplin stepped down from the manager's hotseat to be the assistant to the recently retired Town legend Clem Stephenson. The season produced mixed results which varied from a 4-1 win over eventual champions Sheffield Wednesday to the massive 7-1 defeat to Bolton Wanderers on New Year's Day 1930.


1929–30 Huddersfield Town A.F.C. season, Review
The season is most noted for the team's FA Cup run, which saw the team reach their 4th final, mainly thanks to the 9 cup goals scored by Alex Jackson. Unfortunately, the final was against an Arsenal side led by Town's managerial legend Herbert Chapman. The Gunners beat the Terriers 2-0 at Wembley to win their first ever title. That wouldn't be the last title they would win under Chapman.

In Sydney on 24 July 1929, the day before the Kangaroos were to sail to England, Queensland's Tom Gorman was named captain of the squad. He was the first Queenslander to captain a touring Kangaroos side and would be the last until Wally Lewis in 1986. South Sydney's Arthur Hennessey joined the tour as non-playing coach, the first such appointment till Clive Churchill in 1959. The tour manager was Harry Sunderland.

1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, 1st Test
In the tour matches leading up to the first Test, the Australian team had won 7 of their 8 games. The English team was weakened by the absence of their usual captain, Jonty Parkin (who was suffering from lower back pain), as well as Brough and Ellaby

England, with the help of Parkin closed the gap between themselves and the Australians, with Sullivan's goal kicking giving the home team a winning margin of 9–3.


1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, 3rd Test
England had held the Ashes for almost 20 years, and this match would decide whether they were to continue doing so.


1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, 3rd Test
It was a freezing afternoon for the deciding test, which Australia dominated yet was still unable to put points on the board. With only a few minutes remaining and the scores locked at nil-all in the third and deciding test, Australian halfback Joe "Chimpy" Busch collected the ball from a scrum win 30 metres out and scooted down the sideline. He crashed over the try-line in the corner with England's loose forward Fred Butters on his back making a last-ditch attempt to stop him. As the corner post went flying the crowd spilled onto the field in excitement.


1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, 3rd Test
Referee Bob Robinson looked set to award Australia the try and the game (and with it the Ashes) when the touch-judge Albert Webster emerged through the crowd (which was overflowing and allowed on the pitch to avoid crowding) claiming Busch had taken out the corner post before grounding the ball. Even though Robinson believed it was a fair try he had no option other than to rule 'no try'. The referee was reported to have said to the Kangaroos "fair try Australia, but I am overruled", while England's captain Jonty Parkin shook Busch's hand and congratulated him before the touch-judge intervened. The match finished as a 0–0 draw, leaving the series tied at one match apiece.


1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, 3rd Test
For the remainder of his life (he died on 29 May 1999 at the age of 91), Busch insisted he scored the try, quoted as saying "I got it down all right…it was a fair try." The corner where Busch scored the disallowed try in Swinton, was in the following decades still officially known as Busch's Corner.


1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, 4th Test
After much deliberation the controversial decision was made to play a fourth Test a week later. This was the first and only time that a fourth test has been played on any Kangaroo tour.


1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, 4th Test
In this match Cec Fifield broke his ankle and was unable to play the remainder of the tour. In an enthralling and especially brutal match, the deadlock was only broken by Stan Smith's solitary unconverted try so England won 3–0, to retain the Ashes.

The 1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season was the 8th season of play for the program.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
After coming up short the previous year, Marquette did not shy away from a challenge and put together the toughest schedule the team had yet undertaken. The Hilltoppers began with a tour of northern Michigan and Minnesota, playing two junior colleges during that time (they were members of the NIHA so the games counted in league standings). The team got a hard fight in the second half of their road trip but managed to hand Virginia Junior College its first loss of the season, having been 5–0 coming into the game.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
When the team returned home they took on Janesville A.C. and coach Iverson gave increased playing time to some of the newer player. Furlong and Moore responded with good performances, meaning that the team may be able to stay in the upper echelon of their division after the Two Macs graduated. In the drubbing of Janesville, despite not starting the match, MacKenzie and McFadyen each scored four goals.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
With the team having steeled back in Milwaukee, they welcomed in Minnesota for a tough series. The team pulled out a narrow win in the first game but the second was delayed for a day due to soft ice. After a cold night the teams finished off the series with Marquette laying into the Gophers with a 5–1 victory. The win not only had the Hilltoppers atop the league standings, but gave Minnesota their fourth consecutive loss and fifth overall, meaning it would be impossible for the Gophers to challenge for the Intercollegiate title this season. Marquette finished up their home schedule with a pair of wins while Moore and Furlong both continued to show improvement.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
The Hilltoppers hit the road for the remainder of the season. First the team stopped off in Ann Arbor at the end of January but could only manage a split against the Wolverines. This was the first win for Michigan over Marquette but with the Hilltoppers' lead in the standings they could absorb the loss. A few days later the team met Harvard, playing an eastern team for the first time in program history, and produced a surprising result.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
The Blue and Gold played a nearly perfect game, coming away with a victory over the perennial power (who were in contention for the eastern crown themselves) "Porky" Furlong had his best game to date, scoring twice to push Marquette over the top and leaving little doubt that the western clubs deserved to be on equal footing with the traditional powers of the east. After downing Army, Marquette took on the best team in the nation and produced one of the most memorable games in the history of the program.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
Yale entered the game 12–0 and Marquette set about trying to dent the Bulldogs for the first time on the year. Owing to the skill of the Elis, Marquette used three defensive players at a time rather than the standard two, this was caused as much by Yale's offense as the fact that no one on the team could keep up with McFadyen and MacKenzie when the Macs were skating at full tilt. The plan did not seem to work at the start as Yale came away with a 2–0 lead after the first period.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
Marquette began to climb back in the second; the Macs alternated goals with Yale and cut the lead to one at the start of the third. The two teams fought hard but Marquette's long road trip began to wear on the team and Yale scored its fifth goal with less than four minutes to play. The Hilltoppers knew they were swamped; the Elis surged in the final few minutes, scoring three more times before the clock read '0' and turning a very tight game into a rout.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
Even with the loss to Yale, Marquette had acquitted themselves well against the east and took a few weeks off before their final series with Minnesota. When the two met at the beginning of March, Marquette was so far ahead in the standings that they had already sewn up the western championship but the two were not going to let that stop them, the teams still had a great deal of pride. The Hilltoppers split the series with the Gophers, ensuring that they had a winning record against all major competition and earned their second league championship in three seasons.


1929–30 Marquette Hilltoppers men's ice hockey season, Season
The games would be the last two coached between the brothers Iverson as Emil, the Minnesota coach, had announced his resignation in February. After the season, Kay following his brother's example and resigned as the Hilltoppers' bench boss. The loss compounded the difficulties that were sure to result from losing MacKenzie and McFadyen to graduation but, unfortunately, worse was to come for the Blue and Gold as circumstances beyond their control would soon threaten the existence of the program.

1929–30 Montreal Canadiens season, Regular season
To combat low scoring, a major rule change was implemented. Players were now allowed forward passing in the offensive zone, instead of only in the defensive and neutral zones. This led to abuse: players sat in front of the opposing net waiting for a pass. The rule was changed again mid-season in December 1929, and players were no longer allowed to enter the offensive zone before the puck. Hence the birth of the modern-day offside rule. The Canadiens doubled their scoring output compared to the previous season.


1929–30 Montreal Canadiens season, Regular season, Highlights
On December 14, 1929, Alfred Lepine scored four goals and added one assist in the second period of a game versus Ottawa, won 6–4 by Montreal. As of 2009, this feat is still the Canadiens' record for goals and points in one period.

1929–30 NHL season
The 1929–30 NHL season was the 13th season of the National Hockey League. Ten teams played 44 games each. The Montreal Canadiens upset the heavily favoured Boston Bruins two games to none in the Stanley Cup Finals.


1929–30 NHL season, League business
The league instituted in the new rules the standard dimensions for ice hockey rinks, that of 200 feet (61 m) × 85 feet (26 m). The already-built Boston Garden 191 feet (58 m) × 88 feet (27 m) and the soon-to-be-open Chicago Stadium 188 feet (57 m) × 85 feet (26 m), which were smaller were exempt from the new rule.


1929–30 NHL season, League business
To combat low scoring, the off-side rules were rewritten. Players were now allowed forward passing in the offensive zone, instead of only in the defensive and neutral zones. Players were now allowed to enter the offensive zone before the puck. The only off-side rule left was that passing was not allowed from one zone to another. The changes led to abuse: players sat in front of the opposing net waiting for a pass. The rule was changed in mid-season and players were no longer allowed to enter the offensive zone before the puck.


1929–30 NHL season, Regular season
Cooney Weiland of the Boston Bruins took advantage of the rule changes and smashed the old NHL scoring record with 73 points. Weiland and Tiny Thompson, who won the Vezina Trophy with a 2.23 goals against average, led the Bruins to a final season standings record of 38 wins, 5 losses, and 1 tie. The Bruins set three impressive NHL records including most wins in the regular season (38), highest winning percentage (0.875), and most consecutive home ice wins (20).


1929–30 NHL season, Regular season
The 1943–44 Montreal Canadiens and the 1944–45 Montreal Canadiens would tie the record for most wins in a season at 38.

Penn began the season under the leadership of NHL alumnus Herb Gardiner but he turned control of the team over to William Farson after the first game. The initial match against the Penn Athletic Club, a collection of former college players, happened early in the season and did so while the team was missing a pair of starters. The loss of Strain in goal was catastrophic; the team was hammered 10–4 with little coming from the game other than knowing that they needed improved play in net.


1929–30 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
While coach Farson tried to address the problem in goal with the addition of Klein to the team, he added Quaker football player Greene to the defense, hoping that he would shore up the early deficiencies. The second game was played against St. John's just before the winter break with Woods shifted to forward in place of LaGhost and, though the team did show a great deal of improvement, they were able to eek out a 6–5 victory in overtime.


1929–30 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
After returning from the break, the team went through a series of intensive practices to get them ready for the match against Amherst, which had been added to the schedule just prior to the St. John's game. The defense turned in a much better effort, limiting their opponents to just 3 goals but the team fell to purple team 2–3. Rough play characterized the next game a week later and several penalties led to Penn surrendering their early advantage.


1929–30 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season

Penn's losing streak continued through a match with Colgate and the team entered the semester break with little to show for their efforts.


1929–30 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
The first game after the break resulted in another loss for the Quakers. Penn began slow, with only Klein's play keeping them in the match. The team surged in the final 20 minutes, however, and tried to overcome Williams lead, ultimately failing to surpass the Ephs. The team then played their lone road game of the season the following week, losing to Brown to extend their streak to six games.


1929–30 Penn Quakers men's ice hockey season, Season
Penn finally won another game when they met Villanova near the end of February. The two teams entered the third period tied at 1-all but the Quakers' offense exploded for 6 goals in the final frame, doing so in front of approximately 1,000 spectators. The team headed into their final pair of games for the season without their captain as O'Reilly was out with an illness. In spite of his absence, the Quakers defeated the visiting Dutchmen and did so in convincing fashion. The team continued the inspired play with a second consecutive shutout, downing RPI 2–0 and ending on a high note.

The team returned in an unofficial capacity at the beginning of the next decade but World War II prevented anything official from occurring until the mid-60's.

After Rowley was sold to Spurs in February, the club struggled to continue scoring and ultimately dropped too many points to remain in the fight for promotion. In March the club won just one game, a 2–1 home win over Bradford City, although managed to remain in the top seven of the league. Three wins out of six in April helped them move up to sixth, although a pair of thrashings at the hands of Charlton Athletic and West Bromwich Albion saw them drop back to seventh, where they finished with 17 wins, 11 draws and 14 losses.

Dick Rowley equalised later, but Bradford were able to score three more goals and advance. Southampton's elimination marked the third consecutive season in which they had failed to win a game in the FA Cup – their worst run since the three seasons between 1911–12 and 1913–14.
