At the 1929 election, the Labor Party won 30 seats, the Nationalist Party won 17, the Victorian Country Party won 11, Country Progressive Party won 4, and there were 3 Independents. Since that date a number of political changes took place.

The Victorian Country Party and the Country Progressive Party—two separate parties representing rural interests—amalgamated in late 1930 to form the United Country Party. After years of negotiations, between 300 and 400 delegates of the parties met at a joint conference, and on 23 September, voted to amalgamate into a single party. The proposal was put to the parties' branches, and confirmed at a joint meeting of their parliamentary parties on 28 October.

A meeting of the state Nationalist Party on 15 September 1931 confirmed the name change of the party's state branch in line with the federal party.


1932 Victorian state election, Political changes, The Premiers' Plan
One of the key factors in the 1932 election was the Premiers' Plan—a deflationary economic policy to negate the effects of the Great Depression—which had been agreed to by Australia's state Premiers in June 1931. Although supported by Victoria's Labor Premier, Edmond Hogan, several of his ministers, and a majority of the Labor parliamentary caucus, the Labor Party in general did not support the plan—a meeting of the Victorian Labor Conference in August 1931 passed a motion 143 to 87 opposing the plan, and calling upon the Victorian parliament to reject any legislation to enact it.


1932 Victorian state election, Political changes, The Premiers' Plan
Suffering from ill health, Hogan departed by sea to London in February 1932 and arrived in April. Although his journey was principally a "health trip", he also undertook to perform some official duties, including investigating the functions of the Agent-General's office, and marketing Victorian products in the United Kingdom.


1932 Victorian state election, Political changes, The Premiers' Plan
On 12 April, opposition leader Sir Stanley Argyle gave notice that he would raise a motion of no confidence against the government, following what he saw as an equivocal reply from the Acting Premier, Tom Tunnecliffe, to a question regarding the government's intentions to re-enact the Financial Emergency Act—in effect, a continuation of the Premiers' Plan. On 13 April, Argyle's motion was carried, defeating the government in the assembly. Tunnecliffe consulted the Lieutenant Governor (Sir William Irvine), and the parliament sat on 19 April to pass the supply bill and was then prorogued with the Assembly dissolved.


1932 Victorian state election, Political changes, The Premiers' Plan
As Hogan was overseas when the election was called, the Labor Party was led into the election by Tunnecliffe. As cables from Hogan affirmed his support of the plan which included wage reductions, the central executive of the Victorian Labor Party refused to endorse Hogan as the Labor candidate for the seat of Warrenheip and Grenville, nor Ernie Bond for the seat of Port Fairy and Glenelg. Despite Tunnecliffe's denials, Hogan confirmed via cable that the government had offered him the role of Agent-General which he had declined.

1932 WANFL season
The 1932 WANFL season was the 48th season of the Western Australian National Football League. The premiership was won by West Perth for the first time since 1905. The Cardinals’ win ended both a run of four consecutive premierships by East Fremantle, which won its fifth of seven successive minor premierships but lost both finals it played to be eliminated in the preliminary final, and West Perth's longest premiership drought in its history.


1932 WANFL season
West Perth's win was highlighted by the success of champion full forward Ted Tyson, who headed the goalkicking with eighty-four goals including a record eight in the Grand Final. Tyson went on to kick an unprecedented 1,203 goals during a twelve-season career with the Cardinals, but their rise from winning only six matches in 1931 was due to the development of second-year defender Max Tetley, the discovery of a third pre-war Cardinal stalwart in Norm McDiarmid, brother of star ruckman Jack, plus further outstanding youngsters Jim Morgan and Bob Dalziell.


1932 WANFL season
It also saw a continuation of the first player drain from the WANFL to the VFL with the loss of Subiaco's Brighton Diggins and Bill Faul resulting in the Lions missing the finals for the first time in nine seasons, a remarkable record for scoring accuracy by Old Easts in slippery conditions, and a longtime record total of suspensions – the last of which was for twelve weeks and ended his career – to "Nails" Western, who had been recruited by Claremont-Cottesloe from East Perth to add toughness and vigour but played little because of his reports.


1932 WANFL season
Despite the return of Keith Hough, who set a record for the Sandover Medal with 32 votes, Claremont-Cottesloe remained on the bottom with only one extra victory. Two tragic deaths occurred – Claremont's vice captain "Boy" Morris after collapsing in the street five weeks beforehand on the Saturday of Round 18, and more significantly South Fremantle's Ron Doig after the first semi-final.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 1
Perth defeated South Fremantle by six points after Oliphant kicked a goal after the final bell.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 4
Subiaco's inaccuracy gives them no chance against the Tigers, against whom the Maroons’ score remains the third most inaccurate on record. At one point Subiaco kicked six behinds without a goal in fourteen minutes of continuous attack with the wind.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 6
West Perth defeated Subiaco with a goal from Sweetapple as the final bell rang.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 7 (Foundation Day)
East Fremantle kicked its most accurate score until 1987, made the more remarkable by the slippery conditions from rain in late May.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 8
With nine goals, Ted Tyson moves to the head of the goalkicking despite his name having been mistaken for another player during the previous week's match (so that he was credited with one fewer goal then he kicked).


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 14
East Perth ends East Fremantle's eight-match winning streak with a brilliant second half in which they overcome a 33-point deficit – the biggest such reversal against Old Easts until 1940.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 15
Claremont recorded a huge upset over pacesetter East Fremantle, who kick 9.6 (60) in the second quarter but fade out badly.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 20
Eight goals from Ashton allows South Fremantle to regains its place in the four against a weakened Old Easts team, leaving Perth needing to beat the fast-finishing Subiaco to meet East Perth in the first semi.


1932 WANFL season, Home-and-away season, Round 21
A lapse into "listlessness" late in the second quarter – when Subiaco kick four crucial goals – ensures Perth fail to take South Fremantle's place in the four after the red and whites lost to West Perth.


1932 WANFL season, Finals, First semi-final
East Perth win a rough but close game to end a horror run of losses, but South Fremantle's captain-coach, Ron Doig died a few hours after the game from a cerebral contusion.


1932 WANFL season, Finals, Second semi-final
Cardinals won with a brilliant last quarter after being behind all day, to reach their first grand final since 1922.


1932 WANFL season, Finals, Preliminary final
East Perth ended East Fremantle's run of four premierships in a row with a hard-fought win in a game that was close all afternoon.


1932 WANFL season, Grand final
West Perth's effective use of the wind allows it to run away from a vigorous East Perth outfit to win its first premiership since 1905 under ex-Fitzroy captain-coach Jack Cashman. Tyson, with his eight goals, equals Sol Lawn‘s 1929 tally of 96.


1932 WANFL season, Notes
Tyson's feat was bettered by Eric Gorman in the 1963 Grand Final with nine goals. Along with W. Clelland between 1897 and 1905, and Mel Whinnen between 1960 and 1975, the trio hold the West Perth record for most premierships as a player, having played in 1932, 1934, 1935 and 1941. Claremont have never been goalless at three-quarter time; against Swan Districts in June of 1975 they also kicked their first goal in time-on of the third quarter.

1932 Wednesbury by-election
The Wednesbury by-election, 1932 was a by-election held on 26 July 1932 for the British House of Commons constituency of Wednesbury in Staffordshire. The by-election was triggered by the elevation to the peerage of the sitting Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Viscount Ednam.


1932 Wednesbury by-election
The seat had been held by Labour since 1918, but had fallen to the Conservatives with a majority of over 4,000 as part of the 1931 election landslide less than a year earlier. The election was dominated by the continuing effects of the Great Depression. Labour, whose candidate was William Banfield, General Secretary of the Amalgamated Union of Operative Bakers and Confectioners, fought on the issue of the means test for unemployment benefit. The Conservative candidate was Captain Rex G. Davis, whose election address focused on the economy, employment and the Empire.


1932 Wednesbury by-election
The Labour party had every reason to hope to regain the seat, normally a safe one for the party. ' There will be acute surprise and disappointment if Mr Banfield is not elected,' according to a report in The Times, which pointed out that the constituency had 12,000 unemployed and several factories had closed down. The newspaper felt that Davis had the better of the argument, but the contest 'had resolved itself into a fight between the Socialist and Conservative machines'.


1932 Wednesbury by-election
The result was a victory for Labour, as expected, with a majority of well over 3,000. Captain Davis accused the party of misrepresenting the facts about the means test and complained that in the three weeks of the campaign he 'had not had the time to dispel the fears created in the minds of the local unemployed'. The seat continued in Labour hands until its abolition in 1974.

The team's waterboy, Harold Litten, recalled that Nixon was uncoordinated and "had two left feet" but was a leader: "But, boy, was he an inspiration! He was always talking it up. That's why Chief let him hang around. He was one of those inspirational guys every team needs."


1932 Whittier Poets football team, Role of Richard Nixon
Coach Newman in 1969 said the following of Nixon's role on the team: "No, he never did get a letter, he wasn't that good. But what a scrapper. I remember some of the boys then telling what a licking Dick was taking. And we all marveled at the way he got up and came back for more. . . . Dick had enthusiasm and drive, you betcha. And no one had more moxie. To be a sub, and as light as he was, even then, was rugged. He was practice bait. I don't know if I could have taken the beating he took. Dick liked the battle, though, and the smell of the sweat."

The 1932 Winter Olympics, officially known as the III Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as Lake Placid 1932, were a winter multi-sport event in the United States, held in Lake Placid, New York. The games opened on February 4 and closed on February 15. It was the first of four Winter Olympics held in the United States; Lake Placid hosted again in 1980.


1932 Winter Olympics
The games were awarded to Lake Placid in part by the efforts of Godfrey Dewey, head of the Lake Placid Club and son of Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal System. California also had a bid for the 1932 Winter Games. William May Garland, president of the California X Olympiad Association, wanted the games to take place in Wrightwood and Big Pines, California. The world's largest ski jump at the time was constructed in Big Pines for the event, but the games were ultimately awarded to Lake Placid.


1932 Winter Olympics, Events
Medals were awarded in 14 events contested in 4 sports (7 disciplines).


1932 Winter Olympics, Participating nations
Athletes from 17 nations competed in these Games, down from 25 nations at the previous Games in 1928. Argentina, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Yugoslavia did not send athletes to Lake Placid.

1932 Winter Olympics medal table, Medal table
The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a nation is an entity represented by a National Olympic Committee). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically. The 1932 games were the only Winter Olympics in which the United States topped the medal table.

1932 World Series
The 1932 World Series was a four-game sweep by the American League champions New York Yankees over the National League champions Chicago Cubs. By far its most noteworthy moment was Babe Ruth's "called shot" home run, in his 10th and last World Series. It was punctuated by fiery arguments between the two teams, heating up the atmosphere before the World Series even began. A record 13 future Hall of Famers played in this Series, with three other future Hall of Famers also participating: umpire Bill Klem; Yankee's manager Joe McCarthy; and Cubs manager Rogers Hornsby. It was also the first in which both teams wore uniforms with numbers on the backs of the shirts.


1932 World Series, Summary
AL New York Yankees (4) vs. NL Chicago Cubs (0)


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 1
The Cubs opened the scoring with two runs in the top of the first inning with three singles, two by Woody English and Riggs Stephenson scoring a run each, but in the bottom of the third inning Earle Combs drew a leadoff walk off Guy Bush, moved to second on a groundout, and scored on Babe Ruth's single before a two-run home run by Lou Gehrig put the Yankees up 3–2.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 1
In the sixth inning, they loaded the bases on three walks with one out before a two-run single by Bill Dickey and RBI fielder's choice by Ben Chapman knocked Bush out of the game. Burleigh Grimes in relief allowed two-out two-run single to Combs. The Cubs scored two in the seventh on Stephenson's two-run single, but in the bottom half, after a walk and single, Tony Lazzeri's RBI single, Chapman's sacrifice fly, and Grimes's wild pitch put the Yankees up 11–4. In the eighth, Gabby Hartnett hit a leadoff double and scored on Mark Koenig's triple.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 1
Billy Herman's groundout scored the Cubs' last run. The Yankees got one more run in the bottom half off Bob Smith when Combs doubled and scored on Joe Sewell's single. Yankee starter Red Ruffing pitched a complete game, striking out 10 Cubs but walking six and giving up six runs, only three of which were earned.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 2
In Game 2, Chicago scored first in the top of the first on Riggs Stephenson's sacrifice fly with runners on first and third off Lefty Gomez, but in the bottom half, after two leadoff walks, RBI singles by Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey off Lon Warneke put the Yankees up 2–1. The Cubs tied the game in the third when Stephenson doubled with two outs and scored on Frank Demaree's single, but in the bottom half, Ben Chapman's two-run bases-loaded single put the Yankees ahead 4–2.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 2
They added another run in the fifth when Lou Gehrig hit a leadoff single, moved to second on a groundout and scored on Bill Dickey's single. Both pitchers pitched a complete game. This was the last World Series game Babe Ruth ever played in Yankee Stadium, with a single in his last Fall Classic home at-bat.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 3
Roughly 50,000 Cubs fans showed up for Game 3, a very large crowd for the time made possible by the construction of temporary bleachers fronting Waveland and Sheffield Avenues. In a prelude of things to come, Ruth and Gehrig put on an impressive batting display in batting practice. Ruth launched nine balls into the outfield stands, while Gehrig hit seven. As reported in the first edition of A Day at the Park, by William Hartel, p. 82, Ruth said while batting: "I'd play for half my salary if I could bat in this dump all the time!"


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 3
Cub starter Charlie Root struggled in the opening frame. The first two Yankees reached base on a walk and error, and Babe Ruth followed with a home run into the right-center-field bleachers to put the Yanks up 3–0. The existing newsreel footage showed Gehrig giving Ruth a friendly swat on the buttocks as Ruth crossed the plate. The Yankees got two, two-out singles that inning, but failed to score. In the bottom half, Billy Herman drew a leadoff walk off George Pipgras and scored on Kiki Cuyler's double.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 3
Gehrig hit a home run in the top of the third to put the Yankees up 4–1. In the bottom half, Cuyler homered with one out, then after a single and forceout, Grimm's RBI double cut the Yankees lead to 4–3. Next inning, Billy Jurges doubled to left after Ruth's futile dive for the ball and scored on an error to tie the game.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 3
In the top of the fifth, back-to-back home runs by Ruth and Gehrig put the Yankees up 6–4 and knock Grimm out of the game. The Yankees got another run in the ninth aided by two errors on Champman's double off Jakie May. Though Gabby Hartnett hit a leadoff home run in the bottom half and Billy Jurges singled off Pipgras, Herb Pennock retired the next three batters to end the game and leave the Yankees one win away from the championship.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 4
The Yankees loaded the bases in the top of the first on two singles and a hit-by-pitch, but scored just once on Lou Gehrig's sacrifice fly. A walk loaded the bases, but Lon Warneke in relief of Guy Bush retired the next two batters to end the inning. In the bottom half, after two singles, Frank Demaree's three-run home run off Johnny Allen put the Cubs atop 3–1. After an error and single, Billy Jurges's RBI single knocked Allen out of the game.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 4
Wilcy Moore relieved him and put the fire out, giving up only one additional run in 5+1⁄3 innings. Tony Lazzeri's two-out two-run home run in the third cut the Cubs' lead to 4–3. The Yankees took the lead in the sixth on a two-run single by Gehrig off Jakie May, but in the bottom half, two errors allowed the Cubs to tie the game. In the seventh, after loading the bases, three straight hits by Earle Combs, Joe Sewell and the Babe, the last World Series hits for Sewell and Ruth, put the Yankees up for good, 9–5.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 4
A hit-by-pitch reloaded the bases, but Bud Tinning retired two to end the inning. The Yankees blew the game open in the ninth off Burleigh Grimes, starting with a leadoff home run by Earle Combs, then after two outs, Gehrig walked before Lazzeri's second home run of the game made it 12–5 Yankees. They scored one more run when Bill Dickey singled and scored on Ben Chapman's double. In the bottom half, Herb Pennock allowed a leadoff single to Billy Herman who stole second and third on defensive indifferences and scored on Woody English's groundout before Pennock retired the next two hitters to end the series.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 4
The Yankees had won their fourth World Series, and their 12th consecutive Series game. It was the last Series for Yankee mainstays Ruth, Combs and Pennock.


1932 World Series, Matchups, Game 4
The Cubs extended their World Series victory drought to 24 years with their humiliating loss, their fourth consecutive in the Fall Classic after 1910, 1918 and 1929 (to the A's, Red Sox and A's again respectively). The Cubs' drought would end up lasting 108 years, having been finally ended when the Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in seven games to win the 2016 World Series.

1932 World Series, The arguments
Bench jockeying, called "trash talk" nowadays, was standard procedure in baseball then as now. No verbal punches were ever pulled, but the jockeying was supposedly taken to new heights (or depths) in this Series stemming from Yankee disrespect for the way the Cubs treated their former teammate, shortstop Mark Koenig, after his acquisition from the Detroit Tigers' Triple-A Mission Reds of the Pacific Coast League on April 25, 1932.


1932 World Series, The arguments
Despite Koenig's regular-season contributions (hitting .353 and fielding well), his stingy Cub teammates voted him only half a player's postseason share before the start of the Series because he had only played in 33 games and was unable to play in the Series due to injury. When some of Koenig's Yankee friends got wind of this, they dissed the Cubs as "cheapskates" in the press, "tight" with their Series money.


1932 World Series, The arguments
Ruth infuriated the Cubs the most when he called them cheapskates. Adding spice to the verbal stew was that Yankee manager Joe McCarthy had been fired by the Cubs a year or two after leading them to the 1929 NL pennant. When the Series started in New York, the Cubs retaliated by calling the Babe "fat" and "washed up" along with every obscenity they could think of. Guy Bush, Cub starter in Game 1, led the verbal attack on Ruth, calling him "nigger" (a common bench-jockey slam against the Babe for his broad nose and thick lips despite his German origin), and banter like this went on for most of the Series.


1932 World Series, The "called shot"
Babe Ruth's called shot refers to the home run he hit in the fifth inning of Game 3. Existing film shows Ruth made a pointing gesture during this at-bat, but what this signified is ambiguous. Though neither fully confirmed nor refuted, the story goes that Ruth pointed to the center field bleachers, supposedly predicting he would hit a home run there. On the next pitch, he hit what was estimated as a nearly 500' "Ruthian" homer to deep center past the flagpole and into the temporary seating in the streets.


1932 World Series, The "called shot"
A few reporters later wrote that Ruth had "called his shot" (like a pool shark), and thus the legend was born. Ruth, ever aware of his larger-than-life public image, was quick to confirm the story once he got wind of it. Conflicting testimony and inconclusive film footage have placed that moment high up in the realm of baseball legend.


1932 World Snooker Championship
The 1932 World Snooker Championship, known at the time as the Professional Championship of Snooker, was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 14 to 20 April 1932, with the final being held at Thurston's Hall in London, England. It is recognised as the sixth edition of the World Snooker Championship. The defending champion, Joe Davis from England, won the title for the sixth time by defeating New Zealander Clark McConachy by 30 frames to 19 in the final. The score when Davis achieved a winning margin was 25–18, with dead frames played afterwards. Davis set a new Championship record break of 99 in the 36th frame of the final. McConachy had become the first player from outside the British Isles to enter the championship. The only other participant was Tom Dennis, who was defeated 11–13 by McConachy in the semi-final at Skegness.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Background
The World Snooker Championship is a professional tournament and the official world championship of the game of snooker. The sport was developed in the late 19th century by British Army soldiers stationed in India. Professional English billiards player and billiard hall manager Joe Davis noticed the increasing popularity of snooker compared to billiards in the 1920s, and with Birmingham-based billiards equipment manager Bill Camkin, persuaded the Billiards Association and Control Council (BACC) to recognise an official professional snooker championship in the 1926–27 season.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Background
In 1927, the final of the first professional championship was held at Camkin's Hall; Davis won the tournament by beating Tom Dennis in the final. The annual competition was not titled the World Championship until 1935, but the 1927 tournament is now referred to as the first World Snooker Championship. Davis also won the title in 1928, 1929, 1930, and 1931, with Dennis runner-up in four of the first five years of the championship, the exception being 1928, when Fred Lawrence lost to Davis in the final.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Background
For the 1932 championship, the preliminary heats and semi-finals were to be best of 25 frames, played over three days, with the final contested over 49 frames across six days. The entry fee was set at five guineas per player (equivalent to £367 in 2019), with a five guineas sidestake required for each match. Entry fees would be used to provide prize money for the finalists, with 60 per cent going to the champion, and gate receipts for each match would be divided equally, after expenses (including 5 per cent of the gross receipts for the BACC), between the two players concerned.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
By the closing date of 29 February, only three players had entered for the competition: Joe Davis, Tom Dennis and Clark McConachy, who became the first player from outside the British Isles to enter the championship. Dennis and McConachy were drawn to play each other, with the winner meeting Davis in the final. On 26 March, Davis defeated McConachy 25,161–19,259 to retain the Professional Billiards title that he had held since 1928, with those two players being the only entrants.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
McConachy and Dennis played their match from 14 to 16 April at Dennis's Billiards Lounge in Skegness, over 25 frames. There were eight frames played each day with four frames in the afternoon and four in the evening (five on the final day). After Dennis had won the first two frames, both sessions on the first day ended level, leaving the score 4–4 overnight after a day that attracted only a small audience.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
The players were again level after the second day, Dennis winning three of the four frames in the afternoon and McConachy taking all but one of the evening's four frames. McConachy won three of the four frames on the final afternoon to lead 11–9. In frame 19, McConachy made a break of 72 with 9 reds and 9 blacks, winning the frame 92–32. In the evening session Dennis won two of the first three frames to trail 11–12. McConachy made an early break of 47 in the 24th frame and won the frame 93–36 to secure victory at 13–11.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
A review of the match in The Skegness Standard noted that "only a mere handful of spectators was present at the majority of the six sessions", attributing this to the admission charges of 4s 3d (equivalent to £15 in 2019) and 2s 3d (equivalent to £8 in 2019) being "too high"; the same article commented on the difference in the players' styles, describing McConachy as "rapid and alert in all his movements" and adding that "he fairly ran around the table when a 'good thing' presented itself" in contrast to Dennis's cool and unflustered approach.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
The final was played from 25 April to 30 April over 49 frames. There were eight frames played each day, with four frames in the afternoon and four in the evening (and five scheduled for the final afternoon). The match was held at Thurston's Hall, in Leicester Square, London. The first day ended 4–4 with both sessions level. McConachy had the highest break of the day with a 67 in the 8th frame, Davis making a 51 break in the 5th frame.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
Davis won both sessions 3–1 on the second day to lead 10–6, having made a 57 break in frame 14. On the third day, Davis again won both sessions 3–1 to extend his lead to 16–8, and compiled an 80 break in frame 19. McConachy won the first three frames on the fourth day but Davis took the next four and the day ended with Davis 20–12 ahead. On the fifth day Davis won three frames in the afternoon to lead 23–13, needing just 2 more frames for victory. In frame 36, Davis set another Championship record break.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
McConachy potted the first red ball, but Davis then had a break of 99 including 12 reds. On 99 he snookered himself and, in attempting to hit a red with the cue ball, committed a fouled by  having the cue ball strike the blue instead. An article in The Times reporting on the session stated that "On the evidence of the play, [Davis] is the greatest exponent of the game ever seen." McConachy won all four frames in the evening to reduce Davis's lead to 23–17, making a 51 break in frame 39.


1932 World Snooker Championship, Summary
Davis won two of the first three frames in the final afternoon session to lead 25–18 and retain the Championship. The remaining six dead frames were played, the two in the afternoon were shared while Davis won all four in the evening. In his 1976 autobiography, Davis wrote that although being defeated by McConachy for the 1932 billiards title had felt like a serious possibility, "snooker was not [McConachy's] strong point and, in the final ... I won comfortably." The championship trophy was presented by Henry Procter, the Member of Parliament for Accrington. Davis had extended his record of winning the championship every year since 1927, with this being his sixth world title.

Meanwhile, former State Senator Leslie A. Miller, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee against Emerson in 1930, once again ran for the office and won the Democratic primary. In the general election, another close election ensued. But Miller, likely aided by Franklin D. Roosevelt's strong performance in Wyoming in that year's presidential election, narrowly defeated Weston to win his first term as Governor.

1932 armed uprising in Mongolia
The 1932 armed uprising (Mongolian: 1932 оны зэвсэгт бослого, romanized: 1932 ony zevsegt boslogo) in Mongolia, also known as the Khuvsgul Uprising (Mongolian: Хөвсгөлийн бослого, romanized: Khөvsgөliyn boslogo) was a popular revolt against the "left course" policies of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) as directed by Soviet Bolsheviks and Comintern agents in the People's Republic of Mongolia. The Russians, aided by a few socialist Mongolians, tried to destroy traditional Mongolian society which they identified as the nomads (comprising most of the population), the Buddhists clergy(the intelligentsia of Mongolia) and the Mongolian nobility.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia
Principally led by lamas, the uprisings covered the northwest part of the country and lasted from April–November 1932. Most rebels consisted of common herders but even many party members and the local bureaucrats joined the rebellion. The insurgents were spurred on by rumors of support from the Panchen Lama and the Japanese. More than 1,500 people were killed in the violence as both insurgents and Soviet-backed Mongolian troops sent to quell the rebellion engaged in atrocities. Special study revealed that this uprising corresponds to generally accepted criteria of civil war. Suggestions that the uprising was inspired or supported by Japan or the 9th Panchen Lama are not confirmed by archival documents.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia, Background
From 1929 to 1932, the MPRP, with Soviet oversight, pushed policies that rapidly transitioned the country from the “democratic” to the “socialist” stage of the revolution. One third of Mongolian livestock (over 7 million heads) was decimated as herders were forced onto collective farms. Private trade was suppressed and over 800 properties belonging to the nobility and the Buddhist church were confiscated and over 700 head of mostly noble households were executed. Refugees streamed across the border into Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang as scattered local uprisings erupted between February and April 1930 in different areas of southern and south-western Mongolia.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia, Background
In March 1930, Bat-Ochiryn Eldev-Ochir, a rising star of the MPRP's left wing, was appointed head of the Internal Security Directorate and ordered to suppress uprisings by lamas at Tögsbuyant and Ulaangom monasteries in Uvs Province. He and a Soviet trainer commanded the fourth cavalry out of Khovd that swiftly and brutally defeated the lamas. Eldev-Ochir ordered the on-the-spot execution of 30 leaders of the rebellion.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia, Outline of events
The swift defeat of the Uvs revolt failed to prevent further violent uprisings from spreading across western Mongolia in 1932. The main uprising began on April 10 or 11th 1932 centered at the Khyalganat monastery of Rashaant sum in Khövsgöl aimag, and spread quickly to neighboring monasteries. The insurgents established a high command under the name "Ochirbat's ministry" (Mongolian: ochirbat яам), and began arming the local lamas and laypeople, burning down collective and sum centers, and assassinating opponents, especially local officials and party and youth league members who actively sought to repress institutional Buddhism in favor of socialism.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia, Outline of events
The rebellion quickly spread to Arkhangai, Övörkhangai, Zavkhan and Dörböt aimags. The Mongolian government responded by establishing an extraordinary commission headed by Jambyn Lkhümbe and deploying Interior Ministry armed units on April 15/16th. Lkhümbe's troops torched the town of Rashaant, destroyed Khyalganat monastery where the rebellion had originated, and ordered the immediate execution of 54 of the 204 insurgents that were captured. Government forces, with the assistance of Soviet tanks and aircraft, gradually brought the rebellion under control by the end of summer 1932.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia, Outline of events
Through June and July 614 rebels were killed and another 1,500 arrested during the course of 15 battles. Lkhümbe returned to Ulaanbaatar where, in recognition of his efforts, he was elected First Secretary of the MPRP Central Committee on July 30, 1932. In August, however, the rebellion resumed in southern Khövsgöl and northern Arkhangai aimags. It is supposed that the Mongolian rebels have connection with similar uprising in Tuva. The uprising was suppressed to November 1932.

The uprising covered an area of about 155,000 km2. The garrison town of Tsetserleg, population 1,195 people, joined the rebellion. In general, most of rebels were common herdsmen. In Övörkhangai aimag 90% members of Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and the Revolutionary youth union joined the rebels, as well as 95% of collective farms. Rebel fighting units numbered from dozens to thousands of men. They were armed mainly with flintlocks and antique rifles. Government troops numbered just a few hundred men but were better armed with modern rifles, machine guns, grenades, mountain artillery, armored cars and planes provided by the USSR. Soviet troops were not introduced, but military advisers participated in some battles.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia, Results
The uprising covered the country's four most populated aimags (Khövsgöl, Arkhangai, Övörkhangai, Zavkhan, Dörböt, partly Altai and Southern Govi). The numbers are quite fragmentary but more than 3,000 people are said to have participated on the side of the insurgents, and they are said to have killed more than 700 people between April and July 1932. According to a short-time chairman of the Defense Council, D. Ölziibat, 500 insurgents were killed in 16 battles, and 615 insurgents were condemned to death by drumhead courts-martial. 35 sum centers and 45 cooperatives were destroyed. According to one Soviet document, 8,000-10,000 people were killed. Total number of people killed by insurgents is many times less than the total number of victims of the uprising.


1932 armed uprising in Mongolia, Aftermath
Following the violent uprisings, Moscow ordered a curtailment of the unpopular leftist initiatives and pinned the blame for the excesses of what became known as the "Leftist Deviation" on hard-line leftists within the MPRP leadership, including Zolbingiin Shijee, Ölziin Badrakh, and Prime Minister Tsengeltiin Jigjidjav. All were officially expelled from the party in May 1932. The government instituted a "new course" policy in which anti-religious policies were eased after June 1932 and collectivization was suspended. Nevertheless, by this point the Mongolian nobility had effectively been destroyed, and the political moderation would prove to be only a temporary respite: the Buddhist church would be almost completely eradicated in the Stalinist purges of the late 1930s, and livestock would be collectivized again in the 1950s.

1932 college football season, Dickinson System
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 .


1932 college football season, Dickinson System
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.


1932 college football season, Dickinson System
In addition, Professor Dickinson announced in 1932 that "differential points" would be factored in for an "intersectional game", with ratings of 0.00 for East schools, higher points for "Middlewest" (+4.77) and Southwest (+1.36), negatives for the South (-2.59), the Big Six (-2.60) and the Pacific Coast (-2.71).


1932 college football season, Final Dickinson rankings
Michigan and USC were both unbeaten and untied, but as a "Middlewest" team, Michigan had a higher average rating. The higher weight put four Big Ten Conference teams in Dickinson's top 11: Michigan, Ohio State, Purdue, and Wisconsin.


1932 college football season, Final Dickinson rankings
In 1932, the national championship trophy was presented to the winning school by the Four Horsemen of the 1924 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team: Harry Stuhldreher, Jim Crowley, Don Miller, and Elmer Layden.

Islam is to be the religion of the country, and the Sharia (Islamic law) is to be binding. Afghan subjects are to enjoy liberty of the person and freedom in all matters of trade, industry, and agriculture, and slavery and forced labour are prohibited.

1932 in Afghanistan, End of September 1932
Sardar Ala Gholam Nabi Khan, son of Abdor Rahman's famous general, Haidar Khan Charkhi, who was himself for many years Afghan minister at Moscow under King Amanullah, and made an abortive attempt to restore that monarch in May 1929, with Russian assistance, returns to Kabul from Berlin, where he had been living since the accession of Nadir Khan. Early in November he is arrested on a charge of fomenting rebellion among the tribes of the southeast among whom his family has great influence, and of intriguing with the Soviet government, with a view to procuring the restoration of King Amanullah.


1932 in Afghanistan, End of September 1932
He is brought to trial before the Loya jirga, or Great Assembly, early in November, and, incriminating documents being produced, he is condemned to death and shot.

1932 state highway renumbering (Connecticut)
In 1932, the Highway Department of the U.S. state of Connecticut (now known as the Connecticut Department of Transportation), decided to completely renumber all its state highways. The only exceptions were the U.S. Highways and some of the New England Interstate Routes. Between 1922 and 1932, Connecticut used a state highway numbering system shared with the other New England states. Major inter-state trunk routes used numbers in the 1-99 range, primary intrastate highways used numbers in the 100-299 range, and secondary state highways used numbers in the 300+ range.


1932 state highway renumbering (Connecticut)
In 1926, at the behest of the American Association of State Highway Officials, four of the nine New England Interstate Routes that passed through Connecticut became U.S. Routes. At this time, the adjacent states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island abandoned the New England highway numbering system but Connecticut still used it for several more years. This led to a situation where U.S. Routes were co-signed with New England Routes (in particular U.S. Route 5/New England Route 2 and U.S. Route 6/New England Route 3).


1932 state highway renumbering (Connecticut)
In 1932, the Highway Department decided to abandon the New England numbering system as well by completely reorganizing the state highway system. The renumbering completely altered the previously existing state highway numbers. In addition, not only were the highways renumbered, some old state highways were combined, some were split, some were deleted, and some new ones were also created.

The table below lists the highways that were created in the 1932 renumbering, indicating which old state highways they were created from, and their current status:

1932–33 American Soccer League, Overview
This was the last season for the first American Soccer League. After the disastrous 1932 season, the league began a 1932–1933 season in October 1932. Although it began well, with nine teams competing, the turmoil from earlier in the year continued as several teams withdrew during the first half and others during the mid-season break. At that point, the historical record becomes contradictory. The league may have intended the season to run from the fall of 1932 into the spring of 1933.

However, a May 29, 1933, New York Times story has this headline: "Brookhattan Beats Americans At Soccer: Triumphs by 2-1 to Capture Honors for First Half of League Competition". This implies the possibility the league had abandoned the 1932–1933 season and tried to begin again in May 1933 with a full spring–fall season. Regardless, the league collapsed in the summer of 1933, to be replaced by the semi-professional American Soccer League that fall.
