The AP sportswriters' poll would not begin continuously until 1936. (although, the first time was a one instance publishing in 1934)  Frank G. Dickinson, an economics professor at the University of Illinois, had invented the Dickinson System to rank colleges based upon their records and the strength of their opposition. The system was originally designed to rank teams in the Big Nine (later the Big Ten) conference. Chicago clothing manufacturer Jack Rissman then persuaded Dickinson to rank the nation's teams under the system, and awarded the Rissman Trophy to the winning university.


1926 college football season, Dickinson System
Although Dickinson retroactively applied the system to the 1924 and 1925 seasons, the year 1926 was the first in which the trophy was awarded at season's end. The system awarded 30 points for a win over a "strong team", and 20 for a win over a "weak team". Losses were awarded points (15 for loss to a strong team, 10 for loss to a weak team). Ties were treated as half a win and half a loss (22.5 for a tie with a strong team, 15 for a tie with a weak team). An average was then derived by dividing the points by games played.


1926 college football season, Final Dickinson rankings
Professor Dickinson's rating metrics were unfavorable to Alabama, which won all nine of its regular season games, but were given an average rating of 16.67, less than the average for wins over weak (20.00 point) contenders. Alabama was the only Southern team in the 1926 rankings.

1926–27 Birmingham F.C. season
Off the field, the club was in some turmoil regarding transfer policy. In early March 1927, three members of the board of directors resigned. The Sports Argus' editorial suggested that one faction were "anxious to secure talent at almost any price" and the other "desirous with 'going slow' as its motto", and believed that "the former are now in the ascendancy and that they mean business". A few days later, Billy Beer resigned as manager. The Argus was disappointed:


1926–27 Birmingham F.C. season
Managers are in a peculiar position. They have many masters to serve and to please them all is impossible. Mr. Beer has discovered this, and ... has cleared out. I am sorry, because, frankly, I thought he would make a good job of his task if given the opportunity.


1926–27 Birmingham F.C. season
It was reported later that Beer had found it impossible to work with some members of the board, so had tendered his resignation, if that was thought to be in the best interests of the club, and was less than happy with the treatment he had received.

1926–27 Blackpool F.C. season, Season synopsis
The team sent Frank Buckley on his way to pastures new with a 5–0 home victory over Notts County on the final day. He became manager of Wolves the following season, remaining with them for seventeen years.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season
The 1926–27 Boston Bruins season was the team's third in the NHL. The Bruins finished second in the American Division, making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. The team competed in the first Stanley Cup finals to be held exclusively between NHL teams, losing to the Ottawa Senators.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
The collapse of the Western Hockey League not only placed the Stanley Cup in the exclusive control of the NHL, but also resulted in a flood of skilled players bolstering NHL rosters, allowing not only for three new expansion franchises (the New York Rangers, the Chicago Black Hawks and the Detroit Cougars) but providing the Bruins a complete overhaul of their roster. Goaltender Hal Winkler came from the Calgary Tigers and replaced holdover Doc Stewart in net, while former Calgary scoring star Harry Oliver led the Bruins in scoring.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
From the Edmonton Eskimos came two players: star scorer Duke Keats and the real prize of the offseason, defenseman Eddie Shore, who in a Bruins' uniform became one of the great players in hockey history. Another find was Percy Galbraith, who joined the Bruins after a long career in the senior leagues.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
With ten teams, the NHL realigned into two divisions, placing the Bruins in the new American Division with the Black Hawks, the Cougars, the Rangers and the Pittsburgh Pirates.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
Shore made an impact early, both as a rushing defenseman and as an enforcer, provoking the ire of the Montreal Maroons in a December 23 game in which he and Sprague Cleghorn both slashed repeatedly at Maroons' star Nels Stewart, much to the disgust of the Maroons' team owner, who after the game blasted the referee in the newspapers as "incompetent." At the halfway point of the season, the Bruins were in third place behind Chicago.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
Despite performances such as Oliver's four goal night against the Black Hawks on January 11, the club executed a major overhaul in mid January, first dealing Carson Cooper to the Canadiens for Billy Boucher and purchasing Hal Winkler from the Rangers, and then trading Duke Keats, who seemed to have faded, for Frank Fredrickson at month's end. Fredrickson and Winkler paid immediate dividends, with the Icelander scoring four goals against the Rangers in his first game in a Boston uniform and Winkler supplanting Doc Stewart as the club's starting goaltender. Nonetheless, the Bruins still relied heavily on rough play, and Cleghorn and Couto were specifically cited by Toronto Maple Leafs governor Charlie Querrie when he resigned in February as being "only good for chopping and slashing."


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
Inconsistent play marred the end of the regular season, with the Bruins losing four out of their last seven matches, but they did well enough to secure their first playoff berth. With a combined 31 points between Detroit and Boston, Fredrickson finished fourth in the NHL in scoring with Oliver placing ninth, and Winkler had the fifth lowest goals against average of the league's goaltenders. Eddie Shore finished only three behind Nels Stewart as the league's most penalized player.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Regular season
Numerous bonuses were given out at season's end to the team's players: $1,600 to Galbraith; $1,400 to Hitchman; $1,000 each to Shore, Oliver, Herbert and Cleghorn; $850 to Winkler; $750 to Fredrickson; $700 to Coutu; $300 each to Stuart and Boucher; and $250 each to Meeking and the team's trainer.

1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Playoffs
Their second series against the Rangers was also a two-game total-goal series, where they played to a scoreless tie in Boston on April 2 and won 3–1 on the 4th in New York to win three goals to one.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Playoffs
The Stanley Cup finals, a best-of-five series, began in Boston on April 7, where the Bruins and Senators skated to a scoreless tie. Galbraith scored for Boston in the overtime, but the goal was ruled offside. The second game in Boston on the 9th was won by Ottawa 3–1, as Boston allowed two shorthanded goals in a game marred by five power plays on Shore penalties alone.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Playoffs
On April 11, the series moved to Ottawa, and the teams played to another tie, 1–1. The final game was on April 13, won 3–1 by Ottawa, in a match marked by numerous fights in which several players received match penalties, fines and suspensions, and league President Frank Calder was summoned to the ice to sort it all out. The most egregious act was Bruin Billy Coutu attacking the referee, for which he was the first NHL player to be expelled for life from the league.


1926–27 Boston Bruins season, Playoffs
The Stanley Cup win was the eleventh and final one for the original Ottawa Senators.


1926–27 Bradford City A.F.C. season

1926–27 Bradford City A.F.C. season

1926–27 Brentford F.C. season
During the 1926–27 English football season, Brentford competed in the Football League Third Division South. In Harry Curtis' first season as manager, the club finished 11th and advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time.


1926–27 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
After just one top-half finish in the Third Division South since entering the Football League in 1920, Brentford appointed former Gillingham manager Harry Curtis to the position on a one-year contract in May 1926. The club was still seeking a winning formula, after generally poor league placings from previous managers Fred Halliday and Archie Mitchell. The directors of the club cleared the decks and retained just 9 of the previous season's squad.


1926–27 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Curtis brought with him assistant trainer Jack Cartmell (an ex-Brentford player) and five Gillingham players – full backs Wally Barnard and Charlie Butler, half back Charlie Reddock and forwards Bill Berry and Joe Craddock. Former Gillingham half back Frank Marshall later signed in January 1927. Jim Ferguson replaced the departed John Thomson in goal and defenders John Hodgson, Ted Winship, half backs Bert Bellamy, Joe Hodnett and forwards George Anderson and Stephen Dearn were also signed.


1926–27 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
A 4–0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening day put Brentford at the top of the Third Division South table, which was the first time since joining the Football League that the club had occupied the top spot in the division. Defeat in the following match to Luton Town dropped the Bees back to 6th, but three successive wins in the following matches saw the club rise back to the top and they stayed there until 15 September. 10 goals in the first 9 matches from Ernie Watkins was a factor in the bright start.


1926–27 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
By early December, the team's league form was affected by a fixture pile-up, caused by a run to the fifth round of the FA Cup. The 8 FA Cup matches played in a single season is the most ever by the club. The run was a financial success and generated enough money for the club to build a new grandstand on the Braemar Road side of Griffin Park.


1926–27 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
A goal drought suffered by forwards Ernie Watkins, Jack Lane, Stephen Dearn and the departure of Jack Allen to The Wednesday in March 1927 saw Brentford limp through the final three months of the season. The Bees finished the season in 11th place and had been rooted in mid-table since 5 February 1927. Ernie Watkins top-scored with 24 goals, then the highest tally for a Brentford player since the club joined the Football League. Four consecutive home league draws between 2 and 30 April 1927 equalled the club record.


1926–27 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
A notable departure after the season was that of 38-year old cricketer Patsy Hendren, who had played intermittently as an outside forward for Brentford since 1907. During the season he had become the first Bees player since the club joined the Football League to score four goals in a match (during a 7–3 rout of Coventry City on 23 October 1926) and an 11,000 crowd turned up to see his final match against Newport County on Easter Saturday 1927. Upon his departure, Hendren's 400-plus Brentford appearances was then the club record and he was posthumously inducted into the club's Hall of Fame in May 2015.


1926–27 British Home Championship
The 1926–27 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations during the 1926–27 season.

1926–27 California Southern Campus Grizzlies men's ice hockey season, Season
The Southern Campus joined the ranks college hockey programs, founding their program in a sport that had only been in the state for two years. With their team so new, the Grizzlies were only able to schedule six games with two opponents. Southern Campus performed well in the games, winning all despite the score being close in most. Foran scored the first goal in program history. California Southern Campus  were to play USC on March 11 in an unofficial match, but the game was called off due to Southern California's policy against playing CSC. Instead the team played the Palais de Glace club team and lost 4–2. Near the end of their season, the team was formally recognized by the Athletic and Student university councils and officially made a minor sport for the school.


1926–27 California Southern Campus Grizzlies men's ice hockey season, Season

1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season
The 1926–27 season was the 26th season of competitive football played by Cardiff City F.C. and the team's sixth consecutive season in the First Division of the Football League. Having finished 16th the previous season, Fred Stewart made reshaped his squad but endured a slow start to the campaign. However, led by the goals of top scorer Hughie Ferguson, the club eased away from the relegation zone after the midway point of the campaign and finished in 14th position.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season
In the FA Cup, Cardiff beat Aston Villa and Darlington before overcoming reigning holders Bolton Wanderers. They required a replay to beat Chelsea in the quarter-finals and defeated Reading in the semi-final to reach their second FA Cup final in three years. In the final, Cardiff defeated Arsenal via a single goal from Ferguson. In doing so, they became the only team from outside England to have won the FA Cup in the competition's history. Cardiff also won the Welsh Cup for the fifth time in their history, beating Rhyl 2–0 in the final and achieving a unique feat of winning two national Cup competitions from different countries in the same season.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season
Billy Hardy made the most appearances for the club during the season with 52 in all competitions. Ferguson set a new club record with 32 goals in all competitions which stood until 2003 when Robert Earnshaw scored a total of 35. His tally of 26 in the league was also a club record which stood until 1947. The economic downturn in the South Wales area led to a drop in attendance figures with only three league matches at Ninian Park attracting more than 20,000 spectators.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
Cardiff City had joined the Football League in 1920, entering the Second Division and winning promotion to the First Division in their first season. The club had come close to becoming the first team from outside England to win the First Division in 1923–24, losing the title on the final day of the season to Huddersfield Town on goal average. Two years later, Cardiff became the first Welsh side to reach an FA Cup final, playing in the 1925 final in which they lost 1–0 to Sheffield United.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
Such was the competitiveness of the side at the time that The Times labelled the team as "perhaps the best team in the country". These near misses with competition victories had raised hopes of a first trophy success in English football for the 1925–26 campaign. However, the team struggled to adapt to a new change in the offside law that had reduced the number of defenders between an attacking player and the goal from three to two. The change was an attempt to increase the number of goals being scored and, although the new rule had the desired effect (the goals per game average jumped by over 1, from 2.58 to 3.69), Cardiff struggled under the new format.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
By October 1925 Cardiff were bottom of the First Division table, leading manager Fred Stewart to implement several changes to the squad. As well as dropping some first team players he signed three new forwards, Joe Cassidy from Bolton Wanderers, George McLachlan from Clyde and Hughie Ferguson from Motherwell. The £3,800 spent on Cassidy was a new club transfer record before Stewart broke the record again to sign Ferguson for £5,000. The trio provided fresh impetus in the squad and Ferguson's 19 league goals proved instrumental in helping the side avoid relegation and finish the campaign in 16th position.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
Following the below par performances, Stewart initiated an overhaul of his playing squad during the off-season. The high-profile departures included Jack Evans, the club's first professional signing in 1910 who had been with the side for 16 years. Also leaving were Cassidy, less than a year after his £3,800 move and for a fee described in The Times as "substantially less" than the one paid for him, and Joe Nicholson, who had led the club's attack in the 1925 FA Cup Final.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
Several fringe players also left the club, including Herbie Evans, Alfie Hagan, Joe Hills, Denis Lawson, Jack Page and Ebor Reed. However, the most significant departure was club captain Jimmy Blair who joined A.F.C. Bournemouth for £3,900. His sale resulted in Fred Keenor being appointed the new captain of the first team. He had served as vice-captain under Blair and had filled the role on numerous occasions and was a popular choice for the position. Upon his appointment, the Football Echo remarked that Keenor was "a leader in every sense of the word, he commands respect of colleagues and sets an inspiring example by his wholehearted enthusiasm."


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
To compensate for the departures, Stewart made several signings for the first team. However, none of the transfers arriving were of a similar cost to the previous season's arrivals. As part of Cassidy's move to Dundee, Sam Irving moved to Cardiff. Ernie Curtis was signed from local amateur side Cardiff Corinthians while Tom Pirie from Aberdeen and Jim Baillie from Derry Celtic were also signed from the Scottish leagues. Goalkeeper Tom Wainwright was signed from non-League side Boston Town as back-up to Tom Farquharson after attracting attention in the team's FA Cup run the previous year. The most high-profile signing was the arrival of England international George Blackburn from Aston Villa in a swap deal with Nicholson. A change was also initiated at boardroom level with Syd Nicholls stepping down as chairman to be replaced by Walter Parker.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
The season was preceded by the 1926 general strike, a protest against wage reductions and worsening work conditions for coal miners. Although the strike itself lasted for only nine days, some miners held out for several months as other industries returned to work. Coal mining was a major industry in the South Wales Valleys, a region where Cardiff drew a significant portion of its fanbase, and the collapse of the industry led to decreased ticket sales for the club.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background
A standing ticket at one of the club's home fixtures cost one shilling, 10 per cent of a miner's daily pay at the time. The halt in production and declining sales of British industrial goods also affected Cardiff Docks, another prominent portion of the club's fanbase, which reduced its workforce. In an effort to lessen the impact on the club, Cardiff Council began operating a tram service directly to the ground.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Cardiff began the campaign with an away match against Burnley on 28 August. The match was a highscoring affair; Ferguson, Cardiff's top goalscorer the previous year, opened his account with a brace and Len Davies added a third. However, Burnley scored four to take the opening day victory. Cardiff claimed their first point of the season two days later with a goalless draw with Leeds United.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
The side played their first home fixture on 4 September and worries over attendance figures due to the economic downturn in South Wales proved unfounded as more than 19,000 spectators attended a match against West Bromwich Albion. Some reports noted that fans were walking up to 20 miles to attend fixtures in order to save money on train fares. Len Davies scored his side's goal in a 1–1 draw. In the return fixture against Leeds on 6 September, Cardiff recorded their first win of the campaign with a 3–1 victory, Potter Smith and Willie Davies scored their first goals of the campaign while Ferguson added a third.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Results soon began to deteriorate in September. Despite a brace from Ferguson, Cardiff suffered a 3–2 home defeat to Aston Villa and this was followed a 2–0 defeat against Bolton Wanderers. Despite a 1–1 draw with Newcastle United on 20 September, Stewart initiated changes for a home match against Manchester United five days later, handing debuts to new signings Baillie, Curtis and Pirie and bringing in Tom Sloan for his first appearance of the season. The changes proved ineffectual however and Cardiff fell to a 2–0 defeat.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
The only one of Stewart's debutants to retain their place for the following match was 19-year-old Curtis, who scored his first goal for the club in a 6–3 defeat to fellow strugglers Derby County. Cardiff had been leading the match 3–2 at half time and The Times remarked that they looked the more likely to continue scoring at the start of the second half. However, when Derby equalised through a cross-shot, Cardiff's previous good efforts deserted them and Derby ran out winners, leaving Cardiff one place above the relegation zone.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
A 3–0 victory over mid-table side Sheffield United on 9 October lifted Cardiff two places, Willie Davies, Irving and Ferguson with the goals. A goalless draw with Huddersfield preceded a three-match winning run that lifted the club to mid-table by the start of November. Cardiff opened with a 3–0 victory over Sunderland with a brace from Ferguson and one from Curtis. Bury were beaten 3–2 a week later, despite Keenor and Willie Davies missing the game on international duty. Another brace from Ferguson and McLachlan's first goal of the season secured victory.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
A 1–0 win over Birmingham on 6 November secured Cardiff's fourth win in five matches but the game was watched by a crowd of just over 10,000, the lowest home crowd of the year as early season optimism faded. Cardiff's winning run was brought to an end by a 4–1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on 13 November, the first time they had lost at White Hart Lane.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
The return fixture against West Ham resulted in a 2–1 defeat soon after and Cardiff were dealt a further blow as Willie Davies made his final appearance of the season as he was ruled out indefinitely after contracting pleurisy and confined to a sanatorium. Cardiff's next fixture against Sheffield Wednesday was delayed for two days owing to heavy fog in the Yorkshire area. When the two teams did meet, Cardiff were beaten 3–0. The side's first win in more than a month, a 1–0 victory over fellow strugglers Everton lifted the side above the relegation zone.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, August–December
Concerned about his team's faltering performances, Stewart made several more additions to his squad in December, adding goalkeeper Tommy Hampson from Darlington and forwards Fred Castle and Frank Matson from Mid Rhondda and Reading respectively. Matson made his debut against Blackburn Rovers on 18 December and Castle against Newcastle a week later, but neither were able to stop the side falling to 1–0 and 5–0 defeats. Cardiff ended the calendar year with a 2–0 win over Arsenal following goals from Ferguson and Curtis. The match attracted the largest home crowd for a league fixture of the season with more than 25,000 in attendance.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
Cardiff began the new calendar year with the reverse fixture against Arsenal on New Year's Day. Arsenal twice took the lead through Jimmy Brain but Cardiff equalised each time, first from Curtis and then by Len Davies. However, Brain completed his hat-trick to secure victory for his side and leave Cardiff one place above the relegation zone. Due to FA Cup commitments, Cardiff played only two further matches in the month, against Burnley on 15 January and Aston Villa on 31 January, with both matches ending in goalless draws.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
The results left Cardiff one point above the relegation zone, although they held three games in hand over 19th place Everton. During this period, a mixture of injury and poor form had seen the newly appointed captain Keenor dropped from the side. Frustrated at his lack of playing time over the Christmas and New Year period, he handed in a transfer request which was accepted at a board meeting on 19 January. Third Division South side Bristol Rovers opened talks over the transfer but the move ultimately collapsed.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
Keenor was restored to the side for the club's first match in February and helped secure a 1–0 victory over Bolton, with Len Davies scoring Cardiff's winning goal. A 1–1 draw with Manchester United was followed by a 2–1 defeat of West Brom. A 3–1 defeat away to Sheffield United briefly derailed Cardiff's improved form but the side continued to see a marked improvement in results.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
They were aided by the arrival of forward Billy Thirlaway from Birmingham, a signing which allowed Stewart to move Ferguson to his natural centre-forward position, having been used to cover there since Willie Davies had been ruled out. Thirlaway made his debut on 12 March in a 2–2 draw with Sunderland, with Irving scoring both of Cardiff's goals. Ferguson rediscovered his goalscoring form after being switched and added a brace in a 2–0 win over Derby the following week in front of 10,057 spectators, the lowest league crowd of the season at Ninian Park.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
He added another in a 2–1 victory over Bury on 19 March, McLachlan scoring the other, and scored another brace in a 2–0 defeat of Huddersfield. These results meant Cardiff had lost only once since mid-January, winning five and drawing the remaining four of their previous ten fixtures, and had elevated the side to 12th place by the end of March.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
Cardiff's run of form was brought to an end on 2 April as they fell to a 2–1 defeat against Tottenham, quickly followed by another defeat to Leicester. The club's progress in the FA Cup and Welsh Cup resulted in a congested fixture list in April. Two days after defeat to Leicester, Cardiff drew 2–2 with West Ham before suffering a 5–0 defeat to Liverpool on 15 April in a game where several first team players were rested.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
To catch up on their fixtures Cardiff played again the following day, beating Sheffield Wednesday 3–2, and again on 18 April, beating Liverpool 2–0 in the reverse fixture. The club's improved form and FA Cup run had led to an increase in attendances as interest rose with the Liverpool match attracting more than 21,000 spectators. During April, Ferguson set a new club record for league goals in a single season. A goal against Sheffield Wednesday equalled the 23 scored by Len Davies in the 1923–24 campaign before he surpassed the record in the win over Liverpool.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division, January–May
He added a brace against Birmingham on 27 April to finish the season with 26 goals, a record that stood until 1946–47 when Stan Richards scored 30 goals. Another improved crowd watched Cardiff beat Everton 1–0 in their final home game of the season with Keenor scoring the only goal, before they finished the campaign with a 1–0 defeat to Blackburn. Cardiff finished in 14th place, 11 points clear of the relegation zone. While Cardiff enjoyed strong home form in which they conceded only 17 times at Ninian Park, the joint lowest in the division, the side was one of the lowest scoring in the top tier with only 15th placed Manchester United scoring fewer.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Finalists two years earlier, Cardiff began their FA Cup campaign in the third round with a 2–1 win over fellow First Division side Aston Villa at Ninian Park. Cardiff had entered the game as underdogs, having won only two of their last nine matches, but goals from Len Davies and Curtis secured victory. In the fourth round, Cardiff were drawn against Third Division North side Darlington. The two sides had met in the competition two years earlier in which Cardiff required two replays to progress.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
In this meeting, Cardiff were able to win at the first attempt, with goals from Ferguson and McLachlan providing a 2–0 win. Cardiff met reigning holders Bolton in the fifth round, a team described as being "almost invincible at home" by The Times. Nearly 50,000 people attended the game at Burnden Park, as Cardiff were aggrieved early on after being denied a penalty. Bolton forward David Jack nearly opened the scoring as his shot hit the post before being cleared off the line.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Keenor became the target of abuse from Bolton fans having injured Bolton's Jimmy Seddon in an international match a week before the match. Curtis later described how Keenor had led the team with an "inspirational" performance despite the barracking, commenting "The worse it got, the better and harder he played." Early in the second half, Cardiff were awarded a penalty after McLachlan's cross was handled by a Bolton defender. Ferguson converted the penalty and he provided an assist for Len Davies to seal the game, crossing for his teammate to head the second and final goal.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
They were drawn against Second Division side Chelsea in the quarter-finals and the two sides played out a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge on 5 March, in a match affected by muddy playing conditions. The teams met again four days later in a replay at Ninian Park, again in torrential conditions. To compensate for the poor pitch state, Stewart focused his side's attack on long balls and the approach paid off quickly as Cardiff took a 2–0 lead through Irving and Len Davies. Chelsea were awarded a penalty shortly before half-time but Farquharson saved the effort with a unique approach.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
As Andrew Wilson prepared to take the kick, Farquharson stood at the back of his goal before charging forward to the goal line as Wilson began his run up and made what Wilson described as a "wonder save". Such was the effectiveness of Farquharson's tactics that the rules on goalkeepers movements before a penalty kick were ultimately restricted in the following years. Chelsea remained undiminished and pulled a goal back shortly before half time before equalising five minutes into the second half. Chelsea pushed forward and hit the crossbar but Cardiff retook the lead when Ferguson converted a penalty kick given for handball. They held on to the lead to win 3–2.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Cardiff faced Second Division opposition again in the semi-final, being drawn against Reading in a match played at a neutral venue, Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton. Cardiff took the lead after 25 minutes through Ferguson before Harry Wake and a second from Ferguson secured a 3–0 win. Despite the team's attacking prowess, it was the half-back line of Keenor, Billy Hardy and Sloan that drew praise with the Daily Mirror reporting that the trio "dominated" the tie.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Final
First Division side Arsenal were Cardiff's opponents in the final at Wembley Stadium. Wake missed out on the game having suffered kidney damage in a league match against Sheffield Wednesday shortly before the final. His replacement was Curtis, who became the youngest player to appear in a cup final at the time, aged 19. Around 300,000 people applied for tickets to the final, with the crowd eventually numbering around 91,000. Arsenal opened the game in the ascendancy but Cardiff's defenders drew praise for containing the opposition threat.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Final
The only goal of the game came after 74 minutes when Ferguson fired a hopeful shot towards the Arsenal goal only for goalkeeper Dan Lewis to let the ball slip out of his hands and into the net under pressure from the advancing Len Davies. Lewis later blamed the error on his jersey, claiming that due to it being new, the material was greasy and made it difficult to grip the ball. Cardiff held out for the remainder of the match to claim the trophy for the first time. By winning, Cardiff remain the only side from outside England to have ever won the FA Cup.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Welsh Cup

1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
With the proceeds of their FA Cup victory, having earned more than £23,000 in gate receipts alone, the club installed a cover above the roof of the Grange End stand at Ninian Park. Although the decision left Stewart with little money to invest back into his team. As winners of the cup, the team were in increased demand and undertook a tour of Wales to display the trophy. They also took part in an exhibition match against Scottish Cup winners Celtic at Hampden Park. The match was poorly received however as only 6,000 fans attended with Cardiff losing 4–1.


1926–27 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath

1926–27 Chicago Black Hawks season
The 1926–27 Chicago Black Hawks season was the team's first season. Chicago was awarded an NHL franchise.

1926–27 Chicago Black Hawks season
Coffee tycoon Frederic McLaughlin bought the team from the syndicate who had been awarded the franchise by the NHL. McLaughlin had been a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I. This division was nicknamed the "Black Hawk Division", after a Native American of the Sauk nation, Chief Black Hawk, who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois. McLaughlin evidently named the team in honor of the military unit, and his wife, Irene Castle, designed the team's logo.


1926–27 Chicago Black Hawks season
The team faced immediate competition from Eddie Livingstone's rival Chicago Cardinals of the American Hockey Association (AHA) which also played in the Coliseum. Both teams gave away tickets in droves and engaged in a price war. Under the financial strain, and pressure brought to bear on the AHA by the NHL, the Cardinals folded before the end of the season. The Black Hawks would sign away several of the Cardinals' players.

1926–27 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
There was both good and bad news for the team to begin the season. Beebe Lake froze early, enabling coach Bawlf to form the team at the beginning of December, but only two regulars were returning. To make matters worse, Benjamin Tilton, who had collected 70% of Cornell goals, had graduated and the new lineup would have to work hard to replace his production. On a positive note, Bubier, who was ineligible for the teal last season, returned to the squad for his senior year. He ended up scoring the team's first goal of the season in what was otherwise an uninspired performance.


1926–27 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
The lineup was shuffled ahead of the second game and the team responded with a much better performance. The Big Red earned their second shutout against Syracuse in as many games. After a two-goal performance, Bubier was looking like an apt replacement for Tilton. In the team's game against Princeton he opened the scoring and when the teams ended the first period with a 1–1 tie there was hope that the Big Red might be able to win the match. The Tigers, however, had other ideas and scored eight consecutive goals to end the match with a convincing victory.


1926–27 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
Once the team reformed after the exam break, there were several changed in the lineup. Burnett was brought in to start at right wing while O'Neill made an appearance on defense. Despite the changes, the team worked well together due in part to strenuous practices and they ended regulation with a 1–1 tie. In the second overtime, Barthen scored the go-ahead goal but Williams roared back with three unanswered before time ran out. Cornell wasn't expected to compete with Dartmouth, however, keeping the high-powered Indians to 5 goals was a decent result. Senior netminder Nash was singled out for his play and the team stayed in the game despite using just one substitute for the entire match.


1926–27 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
continued shuffling of the lineup didn't work for the next game and Cornell dropped its first ever meeting with St. Lawrence. While the game was close, the Big Red's offense just could not get on track against the Saints. The team's offense remained dormant in their final game, scoring a single goal in another close loss. Cornell would not play as many as seven games in a season again until 1940.


1926–27 Detroit Cougars season

1926–27 Dumbarton F.C. season, Scottish League
Dumbarton's fifth successive season in the Second Division saw a further decline in performances, and with 5 defeats coming in their first 7 games it was clear that the team would struggle. In the end a miserable 18th place out of 20 was achieved with 32 points - a distant 34 behind champions Bo'ness. Indeed going into the last league game, Dumbarton were lying in 19th place and favourites to go through the election process for relegation to the Third Division, but an unbelievable 5-0 away win at Ayr would save their Second Division status.

1926–27 Dundalk F.C. season
Dundalk G.N.R. made their debut in the Free State League, the top tier of Irish football, in 1926–27. They had played the previous four seasons in the Leinster Senior League. The team was managed by Joe McCleery, previously of Belfast Celtic F.C., who used his connections to Northern Irish football to ensure a supply of players for the season ahead. Home matches were played at the Dundalk Athletic Grounds (a facility near the town centre shared by several sporting codes), but on weekends when the Athletic Grounds were unavailable, matches would usually move to the Carroll's Recreation Ground.


1926–27 Dundalk F.C. season, Season summary
On 15 June 1926 Dundalk G.N.R. were elected to the Free State League to replace Pioneers, as the nascent League looked to spread to the provinces. As it was entering its sixth season, nine clubs had already dropped out of the Free State League, so the challenge facing the new club was great. The cost of travel was one of the biggest issues facing provincial clubs in the League, and the club had sought support from its parent company, the Great Northern Railway (Ireland), with regard to travel expenses, but were refused. Three players were retained from the Leinster Senior League squad - Joey Quinn, Paddy McMahon and Hugh Craig.

The 30-strong group of players, officials and supporters who travelled were treated to a tour of the Ford factory before the game.

Their first win would come at home to Jacobs on 19 September. They only managed two points away from home, including one in the first ever league match in Glenmalure Park, and finished their first league season in eighth position.
