The Splendid Splinter, Ted Williams, also treated baseball fans to a feat that has also barely been threatened since by having a season for the ages. During the 1941 Teddy Ballgame managed to record a batting average over .400 by finishing the season with an unparalleled .406 batting average. Although his average for the season is not the single season record for baseball, no player has hit .400 or better since.


1941 theatre strike in Norway
The theatre strike in Norway in 1941 was a conflict between Norwegian actors and Nazi authorities, during the German occupation of the country. The strike involved theatres in the cities of Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. The strike started on 21 May 1941, as a response to the revocation of working permits for six actors, after they had refused to perform in the Nazified radio. It lasted for five weeks.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Background
In Norway there was a state monopoly on radio, which was broadcast by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). When Norway was invaded by Germany on 9 April 1940, the Nazis seized control of NRK. A Norwegian Theatre Directorate was established, subordinate to the Ministry of Culture and Enlightenment.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Background
During the early period of the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, cultural conflicts did not surface. But eventually, about the turn of the year 1940/1941, actors started to express unwillingness to participate in German festivities, and to perform on radio. The resistance movement also issued a parole against radio performance broadcasts. On 14 January 1941 Minister Lunde issued a bull of excommunication, which said that any actor who declined to perform publicly, either on theatre, in radio or at festivities organized by the authorities, should not be allowed to work as an actor in Norway.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Background
This prompted theatre directors to gather in Oslo, and contact was established between the directors and the Norwegian Actors' Equity Association (NSF). There was a general agreement that Lunde's document violated basic civil rights, and that such violations were unacceptable. On 23 January board members of NSF were summoned to Reichskommissar Terboven's office, where they were told that German authorities supported the Ministry, and that violations would be met by the strongest measures. To be held responsible were both the actor herself/himself, the theatre director, the union representative, and the entire board of the NSF.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Background
Schwenzen, acting chairman of NSF, published the directives on bulletin boards at the various theatres. A strike parole, formulated by Gerda Ring and August Lange, was secretly distributed among actors, signed and hidden. The parole text said that if an artist should lose their work for non-artistical reasons, the undersigned were willing to take the consequence and go on strike. Subsequent negotiations between theatre workers and authorities eventually resulted in a document that was mutually accepted. In particular the document emphasized that actors could freely dispose of their spare time.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Strike
In early May 1941, seven actors eventually received a letter from the Ministry, in which they were ordered to play for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation when requested. The seven selected actors were Aase Bye, Elisabeth Gording, Lillemor von Hanno, Georg Løkkeberg, Gerda Ring, Lasse Segelcke and Tore Segelcke. Aase Bye was playing in Stockholm at the time and could not respond to the letter. The other six declared that they would continue their work at the theatre, but claimed their right to freely dispose of their spare time.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Strike
On 21 May, the six actors were called to meet at the police headquarters Victoria Terrasse for interrogation, and all six were revoked of their working permits as actors. On the same evening the theatre strike was effective on all stages in Oslo. From the next day, also the theatres in Bergen and Trondheim joined the strike. This was the first time during the occupation that a complete occupational group went on strike. The conflict quickly escalated, as the Nazi authorities did not accept such behavior.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Strike
On 22 May the theatre directors were summoned to the Gestapo and instructed to order the actors to resume performing. The instructions were accompanied with threats of strongest reprisals. On a meeting between directors and actors in Oslo on 23 May, the German threats were communicated to the actors. The meeting decided to keep on striking, with 110 against 18 votes. On 24 May the Germans presented a new ultimatum, they also arrested union representatives at the theatres in Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim, and the next day also central members of the Norwegian Actors' Equity Association.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Strike
At a meeting between all theatre directors and chairmen on 26 May, a letter of protest was signed and sent to Reichskommissar Terboven. The letter referred to Article 43 of the Laws and Customs of War on Land from the Hague Convention of 1907, which states that the occupant of a country shall respect the laws in force in the country. This letter was never answered. The strike continued. In June the Germans declared that the strike was regarded as a revolt against the Wehrmacht and der Führer.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Strike
The strike was mentioned in Swiss newspapers, and Germans announced that this now had turned into a high political affair. Negotiations continued until 20 June, when the actors agreed it was time to end the strike. During the negotiations various threats had been mentioned, including death penalties. The strike had lasted five weeks.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Aftermath
After the conflict the Ministry of Culture decided to take full control of the theatres. The board members of Nationaltheatret were replaced, and Harald Grieg, Francis Bull and Johannes Sejersted Bødtker were arrested and incarcerated at the Grini concentration camp for years. After the nazification of the theatres, a general boycott from the public became effective. Some actors continued to play during the war years, while others fled from the country after a while. Trøndelag Teater in Trondheim did try to carry on, with both subliminal and open satire against the Nazi authorities.


1941 theatre strike in Norway, Aftermath
Its director Henry Gleditsch was warned several times that there might be an imminent crackdown on his theatre, and advised to flee to the neutral country Sweden. Gleditsch did not do so. In October 1942, the authorities declared martial law in Trondheim following the Majavatn affair. The opportunity was seized to apprehend Gleditsch, and he was promptly executed. Trøndelag Teater was subsequently nazified and, similar to other such theatres, boycotted.

Junior center Bill Bornheimer, who had starred for Georgetown the previous year, scored 23 points against American in the second game of the season.

He also provided a strong defensive presence and was an important rebounder for the team.

Georgetown would institute an accelerated graduation program the following season because of World War II, causing him to graduate in January 1943 and making him ineligible for varsity play in 1942–43, so he did not return to the team during his senior year.

1941–42 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap

As the season began, most were expecting Illinois to be in the thick of things for an Intercollegiate title. The team returned 8 players from the previous season's championship team and, though it had lost Norbert Sterle to the professional ranks, the rest of the team should be better with more time to practice. Coach Heyliger scheduled 16 games for the Illini, including a showdown with eastern power Dartmouth, but was unable to come to terms with their Big Ten rival Minnesota.

Illinois was set to begin their season on December 8 against the London Athletic Club and ended up played the game on the same day as the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Due to the outbreak of the war, the status for most players was up in the air. Starr Owen and Gil Priestly enlisted in the army, but were given special permission to remain enrolled at Illinois for a time. Both players were able to participate in the two Dartmouth games before Christmas and the team needed every advantage to take on the powerful Indians.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
Unfortunately, permission for both players was withdrawn on the day of the game and the Illini had to go without two of their best forwards. Instead, the starting forwards for the team were the Eveleth boys, Roland DePaul flanked by brothers Mario and Aldo Palazzari. The Illini scored early in the game but their offense couldn't get another past the Dartmouth netminder for the remainder of regulation. The Indians tied the score mid-way through the game but were equally stymied by Ray Killen.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
The game broke open in the overtime session and Darmouth scored three goals in quick succession to take the first game. The second match happened two days later at home and both teams looked much better on offense. Illinois built a 4–2 lead early in the third but could no longer contain Dartmouth's star player. Dick Rondeau, who already had a goal and an assist to that point, took over and scored two unassisted goals (one with 15 seconds remaining) to tie the game and send the two teams into overtime. With just 30 second left in the extra session he scored his fourth of the night to tip the scales in favor of the green, leaving Illinois heartbroken over their lost sweep of the Indians.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
Due to Minnesota's refusal to play Illinois, Big Ten bragging rights would be determined by how the two teams fared against Michigan. The Illini sent 13 men to Ann Arbor, losing Joe Brooks to a broken hand, but the Wolverines were missing 4 players due to academic ineligibility and were soundly defeated in both games. The three Minnesotans were front and center, scoring 10 goals and 16 assists combined in the two games. The following week the team played host to Michigan Tech and throttled the Huskies, earning the Illini's second shutout of the year. With the team's record at 6–1 they were well on their way to winning an Intercollegiate title but the team was about to suffer major losses.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
While second and third on the team in scoring, sophomores Mario Palazzari and Roland DePaul left school to sign with Akron, a farm team for the Cleveland Barons. Clint McCune also left school, following Owen and Priestly into the military. While McCune's loss was not a surprise, losing two of the three Eveleth players was, particularly since neither had informed Heyliger or Aldo Palazzari of their intentions. The rumor at the time was that both players had poor grades and were going to be ruled ineligible after the semester break anyway. Joe Brooks was ruled ineligible after failing an exam. The team almost lost Amo Bessone to the war but he was able to receive a deferment while "Bibbs" Miller had to return home to report to his draft board.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
As the team was preparing for its rematch with Michigan Tech, they received more bad news as Aldo Palazzari's GPA had fallen below the required 2.75 and he was now ineligible for the remainder of the season. The team ended up losing Russ Priestly and Lou Ferronti for academic reasons as well, leaving Vic Heyliger with just 8 players (2 of them goaltenders) by early February. Somehow, the crippled team managed to earn a tie with MTU in the first game before suffering a seemingly-inevitable loss in the final match. After the game two games against Colorado College were cancelled due to constraints of the war. A second series was still scheduled for early March.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
Before their next game against the Paris Athletic Club, Illinois lost team captain Joe Lotzer when he had to return home after the sudden death of his mother. Before the game, however, the team finally received some good news; Lou Ferronti had passed a special examination and was allowed to participate in the game. With new add Twitchell and defensive convert Benson on the starting forward line, Illinois fought a hard-earned victory over the Canadian amateur club. Benson's hat-trick in the second period lifted the Illini to victory and gave them hope that they could finish out the season well.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
Lotzer returned for the next game against Brantford A.C. but the team was routed by a 4-goal third period from the visitors. They recovered for a 5–3 win in the second match to earn a split. A week later the team headed to Colorado to take on the Colorado College. The Tigers were a tough team but had had a rough go early that left them with a losing record. Illinois was slow out of the gate, shooting just 22 shots in the first game and fell 2–4.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
The Illini recovered a bit in the second game, earning a 3–3 tie, but their claim on a second intercollege title had taken a hit. Despite their misfortune, however, the team could end the season on a high-note against Michigan. The Wolverines had given the Illini a gift by defeating Minnesota in one of their four games, meaning that the Illini could claim an (unofficial) conference championship with two wins. In the first game the depleted Illini were still heads-and-shoulders above the Wolverines and outshot their opponents 49–27 en route to a 6–2 win.


1941–42 Illinois Fighting Illini men's ice hockey season, Season
Illinois capped off its season with a convincing 9–4 win to seal a conference title. The game was highlighted by an assist from Jack Gillan in his final game; the goaltender made a save and the puck rebounded half-way down the ice where it was picked up by Benson and slipped to Ferronti, who ended the scoring on a 10-foot shot. It was likely that most of the team had played their final games as most were expected to be drafted shortly thereafter.

Nevertheless, its role enlarged in the second half of 1942 when football joined in.


1941–42 Panhellenic Championship
The 1941–42 season was the one with the least sports activity during the years of The Occupation. Its known for sure that 2 friendly games were organized. One was between Olympiacos and Ethnikos Piraeus with a result of 4–0 in favor of the former, in which Nikos Godas also scored, who was the most emblematic figure of a football player in the vortex of the events of the time. The second would not be held, but it would be remembered for the protest that started during and afterwards the cancelation of the match.


1941–42 Panhellenic Championship, The friendly that turned into a demonstration
In the spring of 1942, the Union of Greek Athletes had arranged that Panathinaikos and AEK Athens would play a friendly game at the German-ordered Leoforos Alexandras Stadium, which had already acquired headlights from the USA, something pioneering for the time. About 15,500 spectators showed up, with the players having arranged most of the proceeds to go to the needs of Hospital "Sotiria".
