1932 Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway strike, Prelude
There were protests against retrenchment policies in the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway throughout 1931 and early 1932. On 24 October 1932, a major strike erupted in the Mechanical Workshops of the Perambur branch of the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway company.


1932 Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway strike, Events
The strike began on 24 October 1932 in Perambur demanding the reinstation of 93 railway workers who had been laid off, the previous year. On 3 November, the employees of the engineering workshop at Arakkonam joined in the strike. This was followed by a strike of the employees of engineering and mechanical workshops at Hubli in Bombay Presidency. Consequently, there were strikes in Bezawada, Betragunta and Rajahmundry.


1932 Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway strike, Events
A settlement was eventually reached when the Sheriff of Madras brokered a peace between the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway and the striking workers. The strike was called off on 8 January 1933 at the instance of Jamnadas Mehta and V. V. Giri.

1932 Manitoba general election
The 1932 Manitoba general election was held on June 16, 1932 to elect Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada. A Liberal-Progressive majority government was elected.


1932 Manitoba general election
This was the second election in Manitoba where two types of preferential voting was used in all electoral divisions. Winnipeg elected ten members through single transferable ballot, while all other constituencies elected one member by instant runoff voting.


1932 Manitoba general election
The election was called soon after the announcement of an alliance between the governing Progressive Party of John Bracken and the Liberal Party led by Murdoch Mackay. These parties were ideologically similar, and had a common interest in preventing the Conservative Party from coming to power. National Liberal leader William Lyon Mackenzie King supported this alliance, out of concern that a Conservative victory would strengthen the hand of Conservative Prime Minister Richard Bennett.


1932 Manitoba general election
Bracken tried to bring the Conservatives into his coalition, but was rebuffed by Conservative leader Fawcett Taylor. Taylor's refusal to consider a consensus government was used against him in the campaign.


1932 Manitoba general election
The election was also contested by the social democratic Independent Labour Party, under the leadership of John Queen. Though it was the second-largest party in the legislature after the 1920 election, Labour had slumped to only three seats in 1927 amid a general period of decline in the Canadian left. While the ILP was poised to improve its showing in the 1932 campaign, it was not a serious contender for government. In the event it elected only five MLAs, four in Winnipeg and one in St. Boniface, evidence of the benefits of preferential balloting to a minority party.


1932 Manitoba general election
Some members of the provincial Liberal Party opposed the Liberal-Progressive alliance, and contested the election as "continuing Liberals". Their leader was David Campbell, the mayor of St. Boniface.


1932 Manitoba general election
Leslie Morris and Jacob Penner of the Communist Party campaigned in the city of Winnipeg, and other Communist candidates ran in the outlying areas. As the Communist Party was under legal restrictions at the time, they ran as "United Front Workers" candidates. Former Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) George Armstrong ran as a candidate of the Socialist Party, and Jessie MacLennan campaigned as a labour candidate unaffiliated with the ILP.


1932 Manitoba general election
The result was a resounding victory for the governing alliance, as Liberals, Progressives and their allies won 38 out of 55 seats. The Conservatives fell from fifteen seats to ten. Having lost his third consecutive election, Fawcett Taylor resigned as Conservative leader in 1933. The Independent Labour Party managed a modest recovery after its poor showing in 1927, increasing its caucus to five members. No other parties' candidates were elected, although two former Progressives were elected as independents. The Continuing Liberals fared especially poorly, and disappeared after the election.


1932 Manitoba general election
Leslie Morris came 309 votes short of winning the tenth seat in Winnipeg. Had he won, he would have been the first Communist elected to a provincial legislature in Canada.

The first ballot results for Winnipeg and results for all other constituencies are taken from an official Manitoba government publication entitled "Manitoba elections, 1920-1941", cross-referenced with an appendix to the government's report of the 2003 provincial election. The Canadian parliamentary guide lists slightly different results from Kildonan & St. Andrews, Lansdowne, La Verendrye, Morris, Springfield and Turtle Mountain; the other two sources are more comprehensive, however, and may be taken as more reliable.

1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster
The Moweaqua Coal Mine Disaster happened on December 24, 1932, in Moweaqua, Illinois. The disaster was caused by a methane gas explosion killing 54 miners. The explosion occurred shortly after the day shift started, sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 Christmas Eve morning.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster
Less than three years later (1935), the dangerous mine closed permanently. The Moweaqua Coal Mine Museum, founded in 1986, contains many mining artifacts that recall the disaster and the work of the miners.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, History of Moweaqua Coal Mining Industry
A large coal seam was first found in Moweaqua on October 3, 1889, after two months of drilling by the Samuel Warner and Son firm as reported in the Moweaqua Call-Mail, the local newspaper. Two years later in November the first mining shaft site was commissioned a few blocks from the railroad depot, but under a new drilling company called the Cochran Coal and Mining Company under James G. Cochran. Ground was broken for mine construction on December 21, 1891, on land bought from Mrs. M.K. Duncan and the Moweaqua Coal and Manufacturing Company was officially formed.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, History of Moweaqua Coal Mining Industry
The Moweaqua Call-Mail urged people living in the town to hold out for the coal they hoped to find because then they could buy the coal locally and it would be much cheaper for farmers and manufacturers. On August 30, 1892, three six-foot veins of coal were found in the mine 570 feet (170 m) below the Earth’s surface and were sold in the market a few days later.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, History of Moweaqua Coal Mining Industry
The success of the mine increased over the coming months and by February 9, 1893, 25 tons (50,000–60,000 lb) of coal was being raised per day and sold at $1.25 for nut coal and $1.50 for lump coal. The mine also introduced plans to have steel fiber cables installed so they could lift eleven tons (22,000 lb) of coal at once. On August 8, 1894, the first mule was taken into the mine which allowed the mine to hire more workers to watch over the animals in the mine.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, History of Moweaqua Coal Mining Industry
By 1897, over 100 miners were working in the mine as cage men, motor men, mule drivers, shot firers, blacksmiths and miners. With the increasing number of workers in the mine, Catholic families began to express interest to build a church in Moweaqua and four lots were purchased from a man named Mr. Prescott to start a church. Many single men as well as families were drawn to Moweaqua over the years leading up to the 1932 Disaster because of the prosperous mine and the growing sense of community in the town, but the migrant workers ended up being disconnected from the community, and everyone kept to themselves.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, The Disaster
On December 24, 1932, at 8:15 AM, the whistle from the mine blew. People from the town began to gather outside the mine because they knew that the whistle meant that something went wrong at the work site. There was a methane gas explosion in the mine shaft a few minutes before they got there. It was later discovered in a state investigation published February 1, 1933, by the Moweaqua News that the disaster was caused by the open flame of a miner’s carbide lamp which ignited the methane gas and prompted the explosion.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, The Disaster
Only about half of the miners were working that day as it was Christmas Eve and many chose to stay home with their families or were out of the town. 54 miners were trapped 625 feet (191 m) below the ground in the shaft. Two miners named Frank Floski and Ibra Adams did survive the accident because they were in a cage deeper in the mine. Specially trained rescue miners from Pana and Springfield arrived to help control the situation and retrieve bodies from the mine.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, The Disaster
When the other miners who had taken the day off arrived at the mine, they were not allowed in. The Illinois Central Railroad brought in cars to give the rescue miners a place to sleep and food to eat. The American Red Cross, the Moweaqua Hospital and people in the town also helped provide meals for the workers. The rescue miners worked for six days to find all of the bodies in the mine.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, Victims and After Effects
The owner of the mine, Mr. Shafer, said, "If the mine is reopened, every safety precaution would be taken of course. Upon the recommendation of the state mine inspector, nothing but electric safety lamps would be used in the future." The mine then reopened on December 28, 1933, after a service was held four days earlier to remember and honor the men who died in the disaster exactly one year before and to commemorate the rescue mine workers who helped uncover the bodies of the men trapped in the mine.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, Victims and After Effects
The mine started up with success and by March 7, 1934, 65 men were back working in the mine again. In that year, a new company owned by Glen Shafer from Pana, Springfield called the Erie Sootless Coal Company of Moweaqua opened the mine after the summer. No coal was brought up after March 1935 and the shafts were officially closed in 1936, but were never sold. The tipple was mostly torn down by June 1940 and the remaining pieces of the structure blew over due to harsh winds and ruined the engine room five months later. The mine was finally destroyed in October 1941 due to rotting wood in the timbers holding up the mine walls and ceiling and the shaft collapsed on itself creating a sink hole eighty feet wide.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, Museum and Memory
A museum was set up in Moweaqua to honor and remember the men who both lost their lives in the 1932 Coal Mine Disaster as well as any other men who served in the mines. It was also created to educate the public about the mining industry that dominated the Moweaquan economy in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The museum was dedicated on May 25, 1986. It houses a number of artifacts and documents, including tools, newspaper clippings and photographs, and coal specimens from the mine.


1932 Moweaqua Coal Mine disaster, Museum and Memory
The museum is free for all visitors and is open seven days a week. A documentary film funded by the Illinois State Library was made in 2008 and can be borrowed from the public library in Moweaqua. The film was written by Ruth Shasteen, edited by Paul A. Brooks, and produced and directed by Andrew R. Moore.

1932 NFL Playoff Game
The 1932 NFL Playoff Game was an extra game held to break a tie in the 1932 season's final standings in the National Football League. It matched the host Chicago Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans. Because of snowfall and anticipated extremely cold temperatures in Chicago, Illinois, it was moved indoors and played at the three-year-old Chicago Stadium on December 18 on a reduced-size field on Sunday night.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Standings controversy
Since the NFL's first season in 1920, the league title had been awarded to the team with the best regular season record based on winning percentage with ties excluded. Four of the first six championships were disputed, but only in 1921 did two teams ever finish tied atop the standings: the Chicago Staleys, who became the Bears the following year, and the Buffalo All-Americans finished with identical 9-1 records, and had split a two-game series with each other, but league officials used a tiebreaker to controversially give the Staleys the title over the All-Americans.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Standings controversy
In 1932, the Spartans and the Bears tied for first place with 6–1 records. Under the rules at the time, standings were based on winning percentage with ties excluded from the calculation, meaning that the Spartans and Bears each finished the regular season with identical .857 winning percentages, ahead of the defending champion Green Bay Packers' .769 (10 wins, 3 losses) winning percentage.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Standings controversy
Had pure win-loss differential or the current (post-1972) system of counting ties as half a win, half a loss been in place in 1932, the Packers' record of 10–3–1 (.750, +7) would have won them a fourth consecutive championship, ahead of the Spartans' 6–1–4 (.727, +5) and the Bears' 6–1–6 (.692, +5). The Packers controlled their own destiny at the end of the 1932 season, but lost their final two games to the Spartans and the Bears.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Standings controversy
Further complicating matters, as the Spartans and Bears had played each other twice during the regular season for 13–13 and 7–7 ties, the league's only tiebreaker was useless: the league decided to make a rule change, since championship-deciding postseason matches were banned in 1924, and for the first time, arranged for a single game (essentially a replay) to determine the NFL champion.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Standings controversy
Despite the winner of the game being declared champions, it was ruled the game would be counted in the final standings, meaning the loser would drop to 6–2 (.750), and would finish third behind runner-up Green Bay.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Indoor field
The game was set to be played at Wrigley Field, the Bears' home stadium, but due to severe blizzards followed by extremely cold temperatures and wind chill, the game was moved indoors to Chicago Stadium.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Indoor field
Two years earlier, the Bears and Cardinals had played a charity exhibition game at the arena after the 1930 season. The game was moved indoors due to extreme weather, allowing for reasonable attendance and gate revenue. The Bears won 9–7. It wasn't an uncommon practice in the city, as local teams played in the Dexter Park Pavilion as early as 1917, when the Racine Cardinals and the Evanstons from Evanston, Illinois played to a scoreless tie.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Indoor field
A week before the game, the concrete surface had tanbark placed atop for a Salvation Army-sponsored circus; elephant manure from the circus produced an odor that caused a Bears player to throw up on the field.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Indoor field
Because of the limited dimensions of the indoor arena, special rules were adopted for the game:

It was also decided that due to the smaller field and indoor stadium, drop kicks and field goals would not be used in the game.

The high temperature for that Sunday in Chicago was 20 °F (−7 °C), warmer than anticipated earlier in the week.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Game summary
With terrible footing on the mulch and limited room for the offenses to work, the defenses dominated the game's first three quarters, with the game remaining scoreless. Bears quarterback John Doehling's first pass flew into the stands, as did most punts and kickoffs: one collided with a Chicago Black Hawks sign and another hit the organist as he played. By the end of the game, only one punt had been returned.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Game summary
On one drive, the Spartans were in position to score when Glenn Presnell tripped on the field before he could reach the end zone. For the Bears, they employed a heavy run game with fullback Bronko Nagurski, though possessions ended after just three downs as Ralph Jones frequently elected to pooch kick. In the fourth quarter, the Bears scored on a controversial touchdown: Carl Brumbaugh handed the ball off to Nagurski, who pulled up and threw to Red Grange in the end zone for the score.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Game summary
Rules at the time mandated that a forward pass had to be thrown from at least five yards behind the line of scrimmage. The Spartans argued Nagurski did not drop back five yards before passing to Grange, but the touchdown stood. The Bears later scored a safety after the Spartans fumbled the ball out of their end zone.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Legacy
Because it proved so popular, the 1932 NFL Playoff Game started a new era for the National Football League and for American football in general. Through 1932, the league had used the same rules as college football. Beginning with the 1933 season, the NFL introduced its own set of rules.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Legacy
The goal posts were moved from the end line back to the goal line (reversed in 1974), all plays started with the ball on or between the hash marks, and the forward pass became legal anywhere behind the line of scrimmage; ironically, the forward pass rule was supported by Spartans head coach George Clark, who quipped, "Nagurski would do it anyway!" Its biggest legacy, however, was the creation of the NFL Championship Game in 1933, the NFL's original championship game, which would become the Super Bowl.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Legacy
NFL Commissioner Joseph Carr described the rule changes as providing better scoring opportunities, which he believed "would improve the game for both players and spectators." Carr had attended the Playoff Game, and kept a ticket stub from the game in his personal scrapbook.

In 1933, the NFL expanded to ten teams and divided into two divisions. The division winners met in a scheduled championship game to determine the NFL champion.


1932 NFL Playoff Game, Legacy
This game was the first—and, for the next 87 years, only—time in which the NFL used an 80-yard field. In 2019, the Raiders and Packers met at IG Field in Winnipeg for a preseason game. The field, home to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League, normally has goal posts 110 yards apart. The posts were moved for the NFL preseason game, but the resulting divots in the field caused a safety hazard. To allow the game to go on, the game was played on a hastily shortened 80-yard field. Kickoffs were eliminated and each team started play at its own 15-yard line.


1932 NFL season
The 1932 NFL season was the 13th regular season of the National Football League.


1932 NFL season
While the Boston Braves (the current Washington Football Team) joined the NFL in this season, the loss of the Providence Steam Roller, Cleveland Indians and Frankford Yellow Jackets dropped league membership to eight teams, the lowest in NFL history; the league also had eight teams in 1943 due to World War II.


1932 NFL season
While the Green Bay Packers had finished the season with 10 wins, the league title was determined at the time by winning percentage with ties excluded, meaning the Portsmouth Spartans and the Chicago Bears finished the season tied for first place (6-1, 0.857), ahead of Green Bay (10-3, 0.769).


1932 NFL season
Since both games between the Bears and Spartans had ended in ties, the NFL arranged for a playoff game to decide the NFL championship, the first ever game of its kind.


1932 NFL season
Extremely cold weather forced the game to be moved from Wrigley Field to the indoor Chicago Stadium: as the makeshift football field in the stadium was only 80 yards long with undersized endzones, officials moved the goal posts to the goal line due to a lack of space to put them at the back of the end zone, as was standard in college and professional football. This change was favored by players and fans, and the goal posts were moved to the goal line as one of several rule changes the league made in 1933, with the rule lasting until 1973.


1932 NFL season
The Bears won the playoff game 9–0, which was scoreless until the fourth quarter. Since the playoff game counted in the final standings, the Spartans finished the season in third place behind runners-up Green Bay.

Following the 1932 season, the NFL would be split into two divisions (later two conferences), with the champions of each meeting in a championship game.


1932 NFL season, Championship race
This was the result of the conclusion of the 1932 season, where there was a tie for first place in the standings at the end of the regular season: as tied games did not count until 1972, the Spartans record of 6–1–4 and the Bears record of 6–1–6 were taken to be six wins, one loss, giving both teams an .857 win percentage.


1932 NFL season, Championship race
Had pure win-loss differential or the current (post-1972) system of counting ties as half a win, half a loss been in place in 1932, the Packers' record of 10–3–1 (.750, +7) would have won them a fourth consecutive championship, ahead of the Spartans' 6–1–4 (.727, +5) and the Bears' 6–1–6 (.692, +5).


1932 NFL season, Championship race
The Green Bay Packers were unbeaten (8–0–1) after nine games, and after the Thanksgiving weekend, their 10–1–1 record (.909) was still well ahead of Portsmouth at 5–1–4 (.833) and Chicago at 4–1–6 (.800).


1932 NFL season, Championship race
In Week Twelve (December 4), the Spartans handed the Packers a 19–0 defeat, while the Bears beat the Giants 6–0. Portsmouth, at 6–1–4 (.857), took the lead, while the Packers (10–2–1) and the Bears (5–1–6) were tied for second (.833).


1932 NFL season, Championship race
In Week Thirteen, the Bears hosted the Packers; a Green Bay win would have seen the Packers finish second with an 11–2–1 record (.846), handing Portsmouth their first ever title. The Bears beat the Packers 9–0, meaning the Bears finished at 6–1–6, and tied for first in the standings with Portsmouth.


1932 NFL season, Championship race
Despite the fact that their December 18 game was referred to as a playoff, the Bears' 9–0 win over Portsmouth counted in the regular season standings: as such, while the Bears finished at 7–1–6 (.875) and won the 1932 title, it was the Packers who finished as runners-up, while the Spartans finished at 6–2–4 (.750) for third place.

1932 NSWRFL season
The 1932 New South Wales Rugby Football League premiership was the twenty-fifth season of Sydney’s top-level rugby league competition, Australia’s first. During the season, which lasted from April until September, eight teams from across the city contested the premiership, culminating in South Sydney’s victory over Western Suburbs in the final.


1932 NSWRFL season, Finals
In the two semi finals, the top two ranked teams South Sydney and Western Suburbs beat their lower-ranked opponents Eastern Suburbs and Balmain, respectively. The two winners then played in a final in which favourites and minor premiers South Sydney were beaten by Western Suburbs. However the finals system set in place then forced the final to be replayed, in what was known as the "Right of Challenge". This system ensured that in the event that the minor premiers lost in either the first or second round of the finals, then they would be given a second chance no matter what in what would later become the final premiership decider.


1932 NSWRFL season, Finals, Grand Final
In the Grand Final, South Sydney beat Western Suburbs 19–12 to take away their seventh premiership in eight years.


1932 NSWRFL season, Finals, Grand Final
The match was played on Saturday, 24 September, 1932 at the Sydney Sports Ground and refereed by Lal Deane before a crowd of 16,925. It was a titanic battle in which Souths led 9–2 at half-time before Wests fought back to level at 12–12. Minutes from full-time a towering penalty goal by Benny Wearing edged Souths ahead 14–12 before they closed out the game with a converted try by Eric Lewis.


1932 NSWRFL season, Finals, Grand Final
The Whiticker/Collis reference quotes a rather prosaic Labor Daily in praise of both sides: “The ebb and flow of the grand final thrilled thousands who saw a great battle. A battle of the gladiators, fighting till their lungs seemed only fit to burst, while over 16,000 people hearts beating wildly to the thump of running feet, looked on gasping, cheering and rising from their seats in sheer delight”.

The team played its home games at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Before the season
Coach Bible began his third season at Nebraska with two conference titles to his credit, as Nebraska held two of the three titles awarded since the Big 6 Conference came into being after evolving from the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association 1929, and three of the last four conference titles overall. Assistant coaches Day and Lehman did not return for 1932, but former head coach and later assistant coach for the linemen, Henry Schulte, who had never left the university while coaching for other sports, returned to the football staff by taking up his old position as lineman coach. Two new assistants also came aboard to assist with the freshman team. Nebraska's domination of the Big 6 made them favorites to win the title again in 1932.

1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Iowa State
1932 opened with a choppy performance, where the game was won through individual performances, and not lost despite the lack of effective teamwork. Iowa State figured out how to deal with the Nebraska line by the end of the third quarter, but could not score a second touchdown to draw even before time expired. The Cyclones fell to 4-22-1 against the Cornhuskers all-time.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Minnesota
Reviving an old and storied series with the powerhouse Minnesota team, a battle last fought in 1913, the Cornhuskers struck first and early, using the wind to their advantage in the passing game. The wind subsequently turned against Nebraska when the point after went wide. In the second quarter, the Golden Gophers powered in their own score, and their point after was good. That one point ultimately decided the game, as both teams managed to fight each other to a defensive, scoreless tie in the second half.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Minnesota
According to the university's yearbook, some media representatives considered Nebraska the winner of the game, if not the scoreboard. Officially, however, the result placed another "L" in the record against Nebraska, which moved the Cornhuskers to 2-11-2 against the Golden Gophers since the series began in 1900, farther away from their hopes of some day catching up with Minnesota.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Kansas
Any hangover from the Minnesota loss was quickly shaken off when the Cornhuskers made their second straight road game appearance and once again defeated Kansas with relative ease. The game was never seriously in doubt, and the Jayhawks suffered yet another loss in a long line of disappointments dating back to 1917. The Jayhawks were set farther back, to 9-28-2 against the Cornhuskers.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Kansas State
The Kansas State squad fought stubbornly and kept Nebraska's homecoming game in doubt until the very end. A mostly defensive event, Nebraska did not manage to get the game-winning score until less than three minutes remained on the clock to save the day and move up to 15-1-1 against the Wildcats since 1911.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Iowa
Nebraska scratched a lead from the field by putting the Hawkeyes behind 0-14, a score that held through the start of the fourth quarter, but Iowa did not roll over and give up. A couple of quick touchdowns late in the game put a scare into the Cornhuskers, but defeat was averted when an Iowa point after went wide, allowing Nebraska to escape Ames with a win, and improving them to 14-7-3 against the Hawkeyes.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Pittsburgh
Nebraska, failing to win against Pittsburgh since 1921, which was their only win to date in six tries, fought the favored powerhouse Panthers to a scoreless tie in Lincoln, notching a moral victory if not a scoreboard win. Pittsburgh managed only eight first downs on the day to Nebraska's thirteen, and the Cornhusker defense nabbed three very timely turnovers to keep the Panthers out of the end zone, handing both teams the third tie in their shared series.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Oklahoma
Oklahoma fought Nebraska at every turn and held on to a scoreless first half, but finally cracked in the third quarter when the Sooners allowed a Cornhusker field goal to break the drought. Oklahoma was still fighting to take the game back when the Sooner QB was tackled in his own end zone to hand Nebraska two more points to end the scoring. The win clinched the league title for Nebraska and moved the Cornhuskers ahead on the series to 8-2-2.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, Missouri
Missouri's futility in regaining possession of the Missouri-Nebraska Bell was extended yet again as Nebraska closed out the conference season unbeaten. The Tigers attempted to make a game of it, trailing by only a point at the halftime break, and successfully holding back Nebraska through the third quarter before finally breaking under the pressure and allowing the Cornhuskers to run off 14 points and pull away. Missouri's disappointment was made all the worse as they fell farther back in their record against Nebraska, to 6-17-3.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, Game summaries, SMU
After a year off since the first meeting of these squads, a scoreless tie, Nebraska and SMU squared off to settle affairs. The Mustangs became the only team on Nebraska's 1932 slate to manage a running touchdown through the Cornhusker line, but SMU miscues and lost fumbles in the first half gave Nebraska all the points they would need to secure the victory. The Mustangs and Cornhuskers never met on the field again, leaving the abbreviated series owned by the Cornhuskers 1-0-1.


1932 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team, After the season
Nebraska's domination of the Big 6 continued, as the Cornhuskers now owned four of the five Big 6 championships since the league's reformation. Coach Bible's teams were well-established as a force to be feared nationwide, and his Nebraska career record improved to 23-7-6 (.722). The Nebraska program enjoyed yet another improvement in the overall record, moving to 243-81-26 (.731), while the conference record was now up to a dominating 69-10-8 (.839).

1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis
The 1932 dismissal of Premier Jack Lang by New South Wales Governor Philip Game was the first real constitutional crisis in Australia. Lang remains the only Australian premier to be removed from office by his governor, using the reserve powers of the Crown.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Background
Early in 1931 Jack Lang released his own plan to combat the Great Depression in Australia; this became known as "the Lang Plan". This was in contrast to the "Melbourne Agreement", later known as the Premiers' Plan, which all other state governments and the federal government had agreed to in 1930. Lang believed that the Depression was essentially caused by overseas bankers who were greedy for even more money and that this deflationary plan would only secure their wealth.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Background
Key points of the Lang Plan included the reduction of interest owed by Australian governments on debts within Australia to 3%, the cancellation of interest payments to overseas bondholders and financiers on government borrowings, the injection of more funds into the nation's money supply as central bank credit for the revitalisation of industry and commerce, and the abolition of the Gold Standard, to be replaced by a "Goods Standard," whereby the amount of currency in circulation would be fixed to the amount of goods produced within the Australian economy. The banks had indicated that if he paid the interest they would advance him an additional amount which was greater than the interest, thus giving him a positive cash flow.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Background
Lang was totally opposed to the Premiers' Plan agreed to by the federal Labor government of James Scullin and all the other premiers, which called for even more stringent cuts to government spending to balance the budget. In October 1931 Lang's followers in the Australian House of Representatives crossed the floor to vote with the conservative United Australia Party (UAP) and bring down the Scullin government. This action split the NSW Labor Party in two – Lang's followers became known as Lang Labor, while Scullin's supporters, led by Chifley, became known in NSW as Federal Labor. Most of the party's branches and affiliated trade unions supported Lang.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Background
When the United Australia Party Government of Joseph Lyons came to federal power in January 1932, it passed the Financial Agreement Enforcement Act, forcing the NSW government to adhere to its debt commitments and to cut government spending. In response, Lang withdrew all the state's funds from government bank accounts so that the federal government could not gain access to the money. Governor Game advised Lang that in his view this action was illegal, and that if Lang did not reverse it he would dismiss the government. Lang stood firm, and issued a leaflet in defiance of Game.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Background
Game then reluctantly decided to exercise his reserve powers and called Lang to Government House to dismiss him. However, Lang was not the first to hear of his dismissal. The pianist Isador Goodman, who had been befriended by Sir Philip and Lady Game, was at Government House for dinner that night. There were a number of interruptions, and Goodman asked if he perhaps ought to leave. Game replied "No, that's not necessary, you see, I am about to dismiss the Premier".


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Background
Gerald Stone, in his book 1932, states that there is evidence that Lang considered arresting the governor to prevent the governor from dismissing him. The possibility of this was sufficiently high that the armed forces of the Commonwealth, who would have come to the assistance of the governor, were put on alert.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Dismissal and result
On 13 May 1932, Game dismissed Lang's government, and appointed UAP leader Bertram Stevens as premier. Stevens formed a coalition with Michael Bruxner's Country Party and immediately called an election, at which he defeated Lang's NSW Labor Party in a landslide, with the NSW Labor Party losing 31 seats.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Dismissal and result
This was the first case of an Australian government with the confidence of the lower house of Parliament being dismissed by a vice-regal representative, the second (and as of 2020, most recent) case being when Governor-General Sir John Kerr dismissed Gough Whitlam's government on 11 November 1975.


1932 New South Wales constitutional crisis, Dismissal and result
Game himself felt his decision was the right one, despite his personal liking of Lang. He wrote to his mother-in-law on 2 July 1932: "Still with all his faults of omission and commission I had and still have a personal liking for Lang and a great deal of sympathy for his ideals and I did not at all relish being forced to dismiss him. But I felt faced with the alternative of doing so or reducing the job of Governor all over the Empire to a farce." Lang himself, despite objecting to his dismissal, conceded that he too liked Game, regarding him as fair and polite, and having had good relations with him.


1932 New South Wales state election
The 1932 New South Wales state election  was held on 11 June 1932. This election was for all of the 90 seats in the 30th New South Wales Legislative Assembly and it was conducted in single member constituencies with compulsory preferential voting. It was a landslide victory for the UAP/Country Party coalition of Bertram Stevens, which had a majority of 42 in the Assembly.


1932 New South Wales state election
The 29th parliament of New South Wales was dissolved on 18 May 1932 after the Governor, Sir Philip Game dismissed the Premier Jack Lang (see the crisis of 1931–32) and commissioned Bertram Stevens to form a caretaker government. Lang's  government had a majority of 20 at the time of the dismissal. In this election, the Australian Labor Party (NSW) and the Federal Executive of the Australian Labor Party, which had separated in 1931 (see Lang Labor), endorsed separate candidates. The ALP (Federal) had candidates in 43 seats but none were elected. The parties were re-united in 1936. The campaign was marked by mass Labor Party public meetings including, allegedly, the largest public meeting in Australian history when Lang addressed 200,000 people at Moore Park on 5 June.
