1922–23 FC Basel season	# 1922–23 FC Basel season ## Abstract The FC Basel 1922–23 season was their thirtieth season since the club's foundation on 15 November 1893. The club's chairman was Karl Ibach. It was his second period as chairman. At the AGM he took over the presidency from Carl Burkhardt. FC Basel played their home games in the Landhof in the district Wettstein in Kleinbasel. ## Overview For the beginning of this season the club hired the ex German international Max Breunig as trainer. He came from Karlsruher FV where he had been trainer for two seasons. Basel played a total of 32 matches in this season. 14 of these were in the domestic league and 18 were friendly matches. Of these 18 friendlies, six were home games played in the Landhof and 12 were away games. Nine test games ended in a victory, four were drawn and five ended in a defeat. In these tests Basel scored a total of 45 goals and conceded 28. Of these 18 friendlies, seven were during the winter break and one was a mid season game eight were played after the domestic league season had been completed. After just two pre-season friendlies Basel started in the 1921–22 Swiss Serie A. The domestic league was again divided into three regional groups, East, Central and West, each group with eight teams. FC Basel and the two other teams from Basel Nordstern and Old Boys were allocated to the Central group. The other teams playing in this group were Aarau, Luzern and Biel-Bienne and the two teams from the capital, Young Boys Bern and FC Bern. FC Basel played a mediocre season, winning six matches, drawing three and suffering five defeats, scoring 17 goals and conceding 22. With 15 points they ended the season in fourth position. Otto Kuhn was the team's top league goal scorer with four goals. An outrage and scandal after the 8th round match at the Landhof on 12 November 1922 against BSC Young Boys. It came to spme massive disagreements between Basel manager Breunig 's co-trainer Mr Sutter, the players of both teams and some fans. The Swiss Football Association started an enquiry immediately and postponed the match Basel against Luzern from 3 December 1922 to 18 February the following year. After an appeal the results of the enquiry ended with following decision: The club Basel was fined 200 Swiss Francs, co-trainer Mr Sutter was banned for three years, Basel's player Gustav Putzendopler was banned for six months, Young Boy's players Osterwalder and von Arx were both fined 20 Swiss Francs, Referee Josef Wieland received a life long ban for the top tier of Swiss football. The club Basel had to pay the costs of the court and it was decided that the team had to play two games behind closed doors. Because Basel won the appeal they did not have to play two matches without supporters, but the fine remained unchanged. Another outrage and scandal was that the team Young Boys sportingly ended the season as Central group winners. But before the start of the championship play-offs, the qualification match FC Biel-Bienne versus FC Bern (the game had ended 3–1) from 25.02.1923 was awarded 0–3 due to ineligible players of FC Biel-Bienne. So both Young Boys Bern and FC Bern were level with 22 points and consequently a play-off was to be held for the regional championship. Young Boys withdrew from this match. Thus FC Bern continued to the finals, which they won. After the play-offs finals had been completed, the qualification match Basel versus FC Bern (the game had ended 0–4) from 04.02.1923 was awarded 3–0 forfait because FC Bern had played an ineligible player. After this decision Young Boys were again winners of the regional group. The date of this decision was in September 1923 and there was not enough time left for a new Play-off Final before the next season started. Therefore no Swiss championship was awarded for 1922/23 season. ## Players Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules.

Empire Airlines (1976–1985)	# Empire Airlines (1976–1985) ## Abstract Empire Airlines was a regional airline serving the Northeastern United States beginning in 1976. Empire accepted an purchase offer from Piedmont Airlines in October 1985, the transaction closed in 1986 and after a brief period, Empire was merged into Piedmont. Piedmont was later merged into USAir in 1989, which in turn bought American Airlines in 2015. Founded by Paul Quackenbush, Empire Airlines began with a base at the Oneida County Airport serving Utica and Rome, New York. Much of its early growth came by picking up routes abandoned by Allegheny Airlines (the future USAir) as it concentrated on service to larger cities. Empire expanded throughout the early 1980s to destinations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. For a time, Empire aircraft also provided connecting passenger feeder service as a "banner carrier" for Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) operating as Pan Am Express at New York–JFK International Airport (JFK). In early 1983, Empire was operating Pan Am Express service with Fokker F28 twin jets between New York-JFK and Buffalo, Ithaca, Rochester, Syracuse and Utica/Rome in New York; Pan Am was operating an international and domestic passenger hub at JFK at the time. Toward the end of its existence Empire announced plans to phase out its Swearingen Metro II turboprop fleet and become an all-jet regional airline. Coinciding with this was a decision to reduce their presence in Utica and relocate their headquarters and most of their operations to Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR) which also served as a hub for the airline. ## History Empire was founded in the 1975 as Oneida County Aviation, a small carrier based in Utica. After the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act in 1978, the airline saw potential to grow a hub operation at larger nearby Syracuse using a fleet of 80-seat Fokker F28 Fellowship twin jets and smaller 19-seat Swearingen Metro II propjets. Empire acquired additional F28s from Philadelphia-based Altair Airlines after that airline shut down in 1982. In addition to hub flights at Syracuse, Empire offered direct flights from other medium-sized Mid-Atlantic cities like Rochester and Buffalo to major business centers like New York and Boston. Empire was named Air Transport World Regional Airline of the Year for 1984. Empire's success attracted the attention of Piedmont Airlines, a pre-deregulation "local service carrier" based in North Carolina. After deregulation, Piedmont expanded into the Northeast, starting with a hub opened at Baltimore–Washington International Airport in about 1982. Piedmont and Empire announced a definitive merger agreement on 2 October 1985, the purchase closed February 1, 1986, and Piedmont merged Empire into itself on 1 May 1986, which resulted in additional Fokker F28 jets being added to the Piedmont fleet. Syracuse joined Baltimore (BWI), Charlotte (CLT), and Dayton (DAY), OH as hubs in Piedmont's system. In about 1987, Piedmont opened an extension to the south concourse at Syracuse Hancock Airport to handle additional growth. The dominant pre-deregulation local-service carrier in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, USAir, saw Piedmont's growth into the Northeast as a threat to its lucrative and often previously monopoly routes from medium-size cities such as Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo. As part of the industry-wide consolidation of 1986–1987, USAir bought Piedmont in 1987. USAir operated Piedmont as a separate unit, including the old Empire Syracuse hub and F28 jets previously operated by Empire and then Piedmont, until Piedmont was completely merged into USAir in August 1989. By the early 1990s the old Empire Airlines hub was gone, its connecting traffic moved mostly to USAir's key hubs in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. USAir subsequently changed its name to US Airways which in turn was merged into American Airlines in 2015. ## Destinations served - New York Utica (Oneida County Airport)* - hub, later focus city Albany (Albany International Airport) Binghamton (Broome County Airport) Buffalo (Buffalo Niagara International Airport) Elmira (Elmira Corning Regional Airport) Islip (Long Island MacArthur Airport) Ithaca (Tompkins County Airport) New York City (John F.

1934–35 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season	# 1934–35 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season ## Abstract The 1934–35 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season was the 28th season of play for the program. The team was coached by Nick Bawlf in his 13th season. ## Season The Cornell hockey team gathered together for the first time after the winter break. The team was looking forward to including some new blood from the freshman squad that had gone undefeated the year before. Unfortunately, the team wasn't able to get any practice in until just 5 days before their first game. The main problem was the same issue the team had faced since its inception: warm weather. When time came for their first game, the Big Red travelled to Syracuse to take on Colgate, who were using the Colosseum as their home rink. The lack of ice time hampered the Big Red and the team lost a close-fought game despite a strong performance from Oleg Petroff in net. The team was hoping to play a second game before the semester break, however, the poor ice conditions delayed the next game until early February. The time off allowed the team to practice more while coach Bawlf continued to shuffle the lineup. The changes led to a win for the Big Red in their second game with Guthrie netting both goals in the victory. The rematch a few days later ended with a similar result and the team had a more impressive 6–3 win. The team's final game was against a very strong Hamilton squad and they was soundly beaten, 7–1. ## Roster
Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards	# Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards ## Abstract Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards was an American street punk band formed to release the songs that Lars had written. Their songs include subject matter consisting of drinking, fighting, drugs, sex, prostitutes, gangs, and street life. They were the side project band of Lars Frederiksen from Rancid. The band members were Lars Frederiksen (vocals and lead guitar), Gordy Carbone (also credited as "Unknown Bastard") (vocals), Jason Woods, aka Big Jay Bastard, (bass), Craig Leg (rhythm guitar) and Scott Abels (also credited as "Skatty Punk Rock") (drums). While Craig did not appear on the first album, he was always been a touring member of the band. The band was formed after Lars' friend and bandmate in Rancid, Tim Armstrong suggested writing songs about Lars and his friend Ben growing up in Campbell, California. The band was then put together as an outlet to release these songs, as well as covers of Billy Bragg 's "To Have and to Have Not", Holland-Dozier-Holland 's " Leaving Here " (which was also covered by Motörhead). This first album was named Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards. Lars and Tim then got together to write the second Bastards album, Viking, this time the focus being more on Lars' recent life (with the exception of the songs "1%", "The Kids Are Quiet on Sharmon Palms" and "The Viking".) after having "got outta Campbell". The album also included cover versions of The Blasters ' "Marie, Marie" and the Anti-Nowhere League 's "For You". The song "Little Rude Girl" was originally intended to be used as a Rancid song, slated to appear on an aborted split 7-inch with Rancid and Richmond, Virginia, punk band Avail on Lookout! Records. The album was mixed by Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion. ## Pop culture On the Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh, above Drake's bed is a poster of the band. However, the word 'Bastards' on the bottom is censored by two bumper stickers. Also, professional wrestler, Sterling James Keenan uses "Mainlining Murder" as his entrance theme in 1PW and Ring of Honor, Major League Wrestling wrestler Vampiro uses "Dead American" as his theme. Former UFC fighter Chuck Liddell can be seen wearing T-shirts from the Viking album. ## Discography - Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards (2001) - Viking (2004) ## Videography - Dead American - To Have and to Have Not - Wine and Roses

'Tis Pity She's a Whore (film)	# 'Tis Pity She's a Whore (film) ## Abstract ' Tis Pity She's a Whore (Italian: Addio fratello crudele, lit. ' Goodbye Cruel Brother ') is a 1971 film adaptation of John Ford 's tragedy. It is directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi, who co-wrote the screenplay, and stars Charlotte Rampling as Annabella, Oliver Tobias as Giovanni, and Fabio Testi as Soranzo. The musical score was composed by Ennio Morricone. ## Plot In the city of Mantua, during the Italian Renaissance, Giovanni, the son of a propertied man, is sent to study abroad having never met his sister, Annabella, who is a couple of years younger than him. After ten years of separation, the now beautiful Annabella is reunited with her brother for the first time, as adolescents. The young siblings are immediately attracted and cannot help falling in love with each other. After struggling with their feelings for some time Giovanni and Annabella begin a secret relationship, and she becomes pregnant. Knowing that the world will condemn them, Giovanni leaves his father's villa, and Annabella accepts the marriage proposal of her suitor, the wealthy noble Soranzo. After Soranzo discovers that he has been the object of a deception, he makes plans for a bloody vengeance. ## Cast - Charlotte Rampling as Annabella - Oliver Tobias as Giovanni - Fabio Testi as Soranzo - Antonio Falsi as Friar Bonaventura - Rik Battaglia as Mercante - Angela Luce as Mercante's governess - Rino Imperio as Soranzo's servant ## Reception Italian film critic Marco Giusti writes that Rampling undresses as much as she can, but that it is Fabio Testi's physique that is imposing: Always naked and often framed at the height of his buttocks, it is causing the spectators some embarrassment. Giusti perfectly remembers the sight of Testi's big hairy buttocks on the screen of the cinema Verdi in Genoa. However, Teo Mora "forced" Giusti and Enrico Ghezzi to stage it at the Teatro dell'Archivolto in Genoa. Giusti acted as Soranzo, Testi's character; he has not done any theatre since. ### Accolades The film received two Nastro d'Argento Award nominations; Best Cinematography (Vittorio Storaro) and Best Production Design (Mario Ceroli).

(Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do	# (Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do ## Abstract " (Ain't Nobody Loves You) Like I Do " is a 1987 single by American singer La Toya Jackson. The song is taken from her fifth album, La Toya. It is one of only four songs by Jackson to have an accompanying music video. The song features a bridge sung by Mike Stock. The single was released in 1987 throughout Europe, excluding the United Kingdom. Despite being produced by the European trio Stock Aitken Waterman, who were big hit-producers at the time, the single failed to chart. The B-side of the single, " (Tell Me) She Means Nothing To You At All ", was released as its own single in France. The 12" singles include a longer version of the song. ## Background However, the single did fairly well on the German DJ charts. It debuted at No. 17 and stayed on the charts for several months. She also performed the song on the German television show Die Verflixte Sieben (with Rudi Carrell). The music video for the single was given little airplay and was never released on video or DVD. It didn't surface on the internet until March 2007. The Miami News described the number as "so unlike anything Stock Aitken and Waterman have produced that it seems a mistake to see their names on the credits. 'Like I Do' is funky, gritty and doesn't repeat every other verse 25 times." ## Music video A music video was filmed and released to promote the single. The clip is similar to Jackson's 1983 music video " Heart Don't Lie " in its colourful, cartoon-like cinematography and dance routines. The video can be found on YouTube and on various Jackson fan Web sites. ## Versions - Album version – 3:50 - 12" version – 7:26

1957–58 Rheinlandliga	# 1957–58 Rheinlandliga ## Abstract The 1957–58 Rheinlandliga was the sixth season of the highest amateur class of the Rhineland Football Association under the name of 1. Amateurliga Rheinland. It was a predecessor of today's Rheinlandliga. It was the second season in which the league played with two game divisions, East and West. The Rhineland champion was determined through a game between the division champions. The 1. Amateurliga was below II. Division Southwest until 1963 and therefore the third-class in the hierarchy. In the seasons 1956–57 to 1962–63 the league was played in two divisions (East and West). The two division champions played to determine the Rhineland champion. With the introduction of the regional league Southwest as second highest class, starting in the 1963–64 season, the Amateur league Rheinland was again combined into one division. Beginning in the 1974–75 season, the league played a role as a sub-team to the newly introduced 2. Bundesliga, where the Rhineland champion played in a relegation against the champion of the Verbandsliga Südwest and the Saarlandliga, for a position in the south divisions of the 2. Bundesliga. Starting from the 1978–79 season, the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar was introduced as the highest amateur class and this class was renamed to the "Verbandsliga Rheinland" and since then only fourth class. ## Results Rhineland champion was the winner of the East division, Sportfreunde Herdorf, after a victory over the West division champion TuS Mayen. During the subsequent rise to the II. Division Southwest, Herdorfe was not successful and had to remain in the amateur league. At the end of this season, SC Eitelborn, VfL Bad Ems, SV Ehrang and Fortuna Kottenheim had to move down to the 2. Amateur league. For the following season 1958-59, promoted from the 2. Amateur league were: - From the East division: SV Woppenrath, SV Trier-West - From the West division: TuS Diez, SV Hönningen For the following season 1958-59, teams that descended from the II.Division were: - From the East division: VfL Neuwied - From the West division: Germania Metternich SpVgg Bendorf, FC Urbar, Eintracht Höhr-Grenzhausen and SSV Heimbach-Weis switched to the West division after the season. SV Neuwied, SpVgg Andernach Amat., SC Sinzig and SC 07 Bad Neuenahr switched to the East division after the season.
1508 Kemi	# 1508 Kemi ## Abstract 1508 Kemi, provisional designation 1938 UP, is an eccentric, carbonaceous asteroid and one of the largest Mars-crossers, approximately 17 kilometers in diameter. Discovered by Heikki Alikoski at Turku Observatory in 1938, the asteroid was later named after the Finnish town of Kemi and the Kemi River. ## Discovery Kemi was discovered on 21 October 1938, by Finnish astronomer Heikki Alikoski at the Iso-Heikkilä Observatory in Turku, Finland. It was independently discovered by Hungarian astronomer György Kulin at Konkoly Observatory near Budapest on 30 October 1938. The Minor Planet Center, however, only acknowledges the first discoverer. The asteroid was first identified as 1935 FA at Uccle Observatory in March 1935. ## Orbit and classification Kemi is a Mars-crossing asteroid as it crosses the orbit of Mars at 1.666 AU. Because of its high inclination, it has been grouped with the Pallas family (801), an asteroid family of bright carbonaceous asteroids, as well as with the "Phaethon group", despite its untypical spectrum. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.6–3.9 AU once every 4 years and 7 months (1,685 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.42 and an inclination of 29 ° with respect to the ecliptic. The body's observation arc begins at Uccle in May 1935, more than 3 years prior to its official discovery observation at Turku. ## Physical characteristics In the SMASS classification, Kemi is a common carbonaceous C-type asteroid. In the Tholen classification, the body's spectral type is ambiguous (BCF), closest to that of a bright carbonaceous B-type and somewhat similar to a C- and F-type asteroid. ### Rotation period Several rotational lightcurves of Kemi have been obtained from photometric observations since the 1990s. Analysis of the lightcurves gave a consolidated rotation period of 9.196 hours with a brightness variation between of 0.25 and 0.55 magnitude (U=2/3/3/2). ### Poles In 2016, an international study modeled a lightcurve with a concurring period of 9.19182 hours. It also determined two spin axis at (352.0°, 72.0°) and (166.0°, 73.0°) in ecliptic coordinates (λ, β). ### Diameter and albedo According to the surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, Kemi measures between 15.78 and 17.98 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.084 and 0.11. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous asteroids of 0.057 and calculates a diameter of 21.86 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.03. ## Naming This minor planet was named after the Finnish town of Kemi and the Kemi River (Kemijoki), the largest river in Finland, on which the town lies. The naming agrees with the established pattern of giving high-inclination asteroids four-letter names. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 20 February 1976 (M.P.C. 3928).
1960 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting	# 1960 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting ## Abstract Elections to Baseball Hall of Fame for 1960 followed a system established after the 1956 election. The Veterans Committee was meeting only in odd-numbered years (until 1962). The Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) voted by mail to select from recent major league players, and as had been the case in 1958, elected no one. For the third time, the induction ceremonies in Cooperstown, New York, were canceled because there was no one to induct. This would be the last time until 2021 that no one was selected for induction to the Hall. ## BBWAA election The BBWAA was authorized to elect players active in 1930 or later, but not after 1954. All 10-year members of the BBWAA were eligible to vote. Voters were instructed to cast votes for up to 10 candidates; any candidate receiving votes on at least 75% of the ballots would be honored with induction to the Hall. A total of 134 players received votes; 269 ballots were cast, with 202 votes required for election. A total of 2,288 individual votes were cast, an average of 8.51 per ballot. Candidates who were eligible for the first time are indicated here with a dagger (†). Candidates who have since been elected in subsequent elections are indicated in italics. Copies of the 1958 and 1960 ballots are not available, reportedly listing "about 400" and 237 players, respectively. Eight candidates may have received votes for the first time who were previously eligible: Miller, White, Kress, Crowder, Danning, Keltner, Walberg, and Zachary (in table order). The votes for Ralph Kiner may have been write-ins; he played until 1955 and should have been ineligible. Lefty Grove received six votes despite the fact that he had already been elected to the Hall of Fame, in 1947. The next ballot for 1962 did not include a list of names. Twenty-six candidates who received at least one vote in 1960 may have been eligible for the final time: Edd Roush, Hank Gowdy, Bucky Harris, Dave Bancroft, Joe Sewell, Nick Altrock, Joe Judge, Howard Ehmke, Eddie Rommel, Wally Schang, Cy Williams, Bob Meusel, Joe Dugan, Babe Herman, Lew Fonseca, Mike González, Marty McManus, Jack Quinn, Bill Sherdel, Sparky Adams, Ray Blades, Heinie Groh, Bubbles Hargrave, Addie Joss, Freddy Leach and Hans Lobert.

Iduna (literature society)	# Iduna (literature society) ## Abstract Iduna was an important literary association founded in May 1891 by a circle of writers around Fritz Lemmermayer. Lemmermayer acted as a sort of "middle man" between an older generation of authors (which included Fercher von Steinwand, Joseph Tandler, Auguste Hyrtl, Ludwig von Mertens, and Josephone von Knorr) and a group of younger writers and thinkers (which included Rudolf Steiner, Marie Eugenie delle Grazie, and Karl Maria Heidt). The society had the descriptive subtitle of "Free German Society for Literature". The name Iduna was provided by Guido von List himself and is that of a North Germanic goddess of eternal youth and renewal. Richard von Kralik and Joseph Kalasanz Poestion, authors with specifically neo-Germanic leanings, were also involved in the circle. The circle dissolved in 1893 when the ' Literarische Donaugesellschaft ' (Danubian Literary Society) grew out of its ashes and was founded by Guido von List and Fanny Wschiansky.

1214	# 1214 ## Abstract Year 1214 (MCCXIV) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar, the 1214th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 214th year of the 2nd millennium, the 14th year of the 13th century, and the 5th year of the 1210s decade. ## Events ### By place #### Byzantine Empire - November 1 – Siege of Sinope: The Seljuk Turks under Sultan Kaykaus I capture the strategic Black Sea port city of Sinope – at the time held by the Empire of Trebizond (one of the Byzantine successor states formed after the Fourth Crusade). Emperor Alexios I of Trebizond leads an army to break the siege, but he is defeated and captured. His capture forces the Byzantines to accept tributary status to Kaykaus. #### Europe - February 15 – King John (Lackland) lands with an invasion force (accompanied by mercenaries) at La Rochelle; many barons of England refuse to join him in the campaign. John sends his half-brother William Longespée (Long Sword) to Flanders, with money to assemble a mercenary army there. John pushes the French forces northeast from Poitou towards Paris, while Emperor Otto IV marches southwest from Flanders. - King Philip II (Augustus) decides to defend the French territories by leaving a third of his army under his son, Prince Louis to confront John (Lackland) in the Loire Valley – while Philip heads for Flanders to raid the region. On July 2, John's forces are confronted by a French relief force while they besiege the castle of Roche-au-Moine. John retreats back to La Rochelle, but his rearguard suffers immensely by the French army. - June – Otto IV arrives in Flanders with a small army; four German nobles have joined him, but he is soon reinforced by troops of Renaud I, duke of Boulogne, Ferdinand, (jure uxoris) count of Flanders and the mercenaries under William Longespée. On July 26, Philip II arrives at the Flemish town of Tournai with his army (some 7,000 men), while the allied forces encamp 12 kilometers south at the Castle of Mortagne (France). - July 2 – The Papal Interdict of 1208, laid against the Kingdom of England, is lifted. - July 27 – Battle of Bouvines: Philip II defeats an army (some 9,000 men) of German, English and Flemish soldiers led by Otto IV near Bouvines, ending the Anglo-French War. The French forces have taken a considerable number of soldiers prisoner, including 131 knights and five counts with Ferdinand, Renaud I and William Longespée among them. - September 18 – Treaty of Chinon: John (Lackland) makes a truce with Philip II at the Castle of Chinon, and recognizes the Capetian (French) territorial gains at the expense of the Angevin Empire. - October 5 – Upon the death of their father, King Alfonso VIII (the Noble), and of their mother, Eleanor of England on October 31, Berenguela becomes regent of her 10-year-old brother, Henry I. - November 20 – A group of English nobles, after finding a copy of the Charter of Liberties, swear an oath at the altar of Bury St. Edmunds, to force John (Lackland) to acknowledge their rights. - December 4 – King William the Lion dies after a 49-year reign at Stirling. He is succeeded by his son, Alexander II, who is crowned as ruler of Scotland at Scone (until 1249). #### Asia - Spring – Emperor Xuan Zong of the Jurchen -led Chinese Jin Dynasty surrenders to the Mongols under Genghis khan – who have besieged the capital of Zhongdu (modern-day Beijing) for a year. He is forced to pay tribute (including some 3,000 horses, 10,000 'bolts' of silk and his daughter), along with subjugation to the Mongol Khan. Xuan Zong abandons northern China and moves his court to Kaifeng. - After securing all Jin lands north of the Yellow River, Genghis Khan receives a message that Xuan Zong has moved his capital to Kaifeng. He returns to Zhongdu and precedes the city with the help of thousands of Chinese engineers. The Mongols starve the city out (the inhabitants are forced to eat the dead). The garrison, with a short supply of ammunition for the cannons holds out for the winter. - In his campaigns in Liaodong, the Mongol general Muqali (or Mukhali) forms a newly Khitan -Chinese army and a special corps of some 12,000 Chinese auxiliary troops. ### By topic #### Education - June 20 – A papal ordinance defines the rights of the scholars at the University of Oxford in England. #### Religion - April 13 – Simon of Apulia is elected bishop of Exeter in England (approximate date). ## Births - April 25 – Louis IX (the Saint), king of France (d. 1270) - July 29 – Sturla Þórðarson, Icelandic chieftain (d. 1284) - Alberto da Bergamo, Italian Dominican tertiary (d. 1279) - Al-Qurtubi, Moorish scholar, jurist and writer (d. 1273) - Isabella of England, Holy Roman Empress (d. 1241) - Ottaviano degli Ubaldini, Italian cardinal (d. 1273) - Ugolino della Gherardesca, Italian nobleman (approximate date) (d. 1289) ## Deaths - January 25 – Taira no Tokuko, Japanese empress (b. 1155) - February 13 – Theobald I (or Thibauld), French nobleman - April 21 – John of Ford, English Cistercian prior and abbot - June 24 – Gilbert Glanvill (or Glanville), bishop of Rochester - July 27 – Stephen Longchamp, Norman nobleman and knight - August 18 – Pedro Fernández de Castro, Spanish nobleman - August 30 – Peter of Capua, Italian cardinal and papal legate - September 14 – Albert of Vercelli, Latin patriarch of Jerusalem - September 16 – Diego López II, Spanish nobleman (b. 1152) - October 5 – Alfonso VIII (the Noble), king of Castile (b. 1155) - October 18 – John de Gray (or de Grey), bishop of Norwich - October 31 – Eleanor of England, queen of Castile (b. 1161) - December 4 – William the Lion, king of Scotland (b. 1142) - December 8 – Sasaki Takatsuna, Japanese samurai (b. 1160) - Ala al-Din Atsiz, ruler of the Ghurid Sultanate (b. 1159) - Aubrey de Vere, English nobleman and knight (b. 1163) - Filocalo Navigajoso, Latin ruler (megadux) of Lemnos - Henry VI (the Younger), German nobleman (b. 1196) - Neophytos of Cyprus, Cypriot priest and hermit (b. 1134) - Robert fitzRoger, English Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk - William I of Cagliari, ruler (judge) of Sardinia (b. 1160)

1957 Nobel Prize in Literature	# 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature ## Abstract The 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded the French writer Albert Camus (1913–1960) "for his important literary production, which with clear-sighted earnestness illuminates the problems of the human conscience in our times." He is the ninth French author to become a recipient of the prize after Catholic novelist François Mauriac in 1952, and the fourth philosopher after British analytic philosopher Bertrand Russell in 1950. Aged 44 when he received the prize, Camus is the second youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, after only Rudyard Kipling (41). ## Laureate Camus made his debut as a writer in 1937, but his breakthrough came with the novel L’étranger ("The Stranger"), published in 1942. It concerns the absurdity of life, a theme he returns to in other books, including his philosophical work Le mythe de Sisyphe ("The Myth of Sisyphus", 1942). He also worked as a journalist and playwright with Caligula (1944), which received praises from theatre critics. Because of his friendship with Jean-Paul Sartre, Camus was labeled an existentialist, but he preferred not to be linked with any ideology. His other successful novels include La peste ("The Plague", 1947), La chute ("The Fall", 1956), and an unfinished autobiography, Le Premier homme ("The First Man"), was published posthumously. ## Deliberations ### Nominations Albert Camus was nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature on 11 occasions, the first time in 1949. He was nominated once in 1957 by a French professor of Anglo-Saxon language and literature from the Caen University, which he was awarded afterwards. In total, the Nobel committee received 66 nominations for 49 writers including Nikos Kazantzakis, E. M. Forster, Alberto Moravia, Georges Duhamel, Jules Romains, Ezra Pound, Saint-John Perse (awarded in 1960), Carlo Levi, Boris Pasternak (awarded in 1958) and Robert Frost. 12 of the nominees were nominated first-time among them Jean-Paul Sartre (awarded in 1964), Lennox Robinson, Jan Parandowski, Samuel Beckett (awarded in 1969), Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, André Chamson, Väinö Linna and Carlo Levi. The nominee with the highest number of nominations – 4 nominations – was for André Malraux. Four of the nominees were women namely Gertrud von Le Fort, Karen Blixen, Henriette Charasson, and Maria Dąbrowska. The authors Nurullah Ataç, Erich Auerbach, Arturo Barea, Ernst Bertram, Roy Campbell, Joyce Cary, José Lins do Rego, Alfred Döblin, Claude Farrère, Peter Freuchen, Rose Fyleman, Oliver St. John Gogarty, Sacha Guitry, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Eric Alfred Knudsen, Barbu Lăzăreanu, Wyndham Lewis, Malcolm Lowry, Mait Metsanurk, Christopher Morley, Gilbert Murray, Ralph Barton Perry, Clemente Rebora, Aleksey Remizov, Umberto Saba, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa died in 1957 without having been nominated for the prize. French poet Valery Larbaud died before the only chance to be rewarded. ## Award ceremony speech In his award ceremony speech on 10 December 1957 Anders Österling, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said of Camus: "Active and highly creative, Camus is in the centre of interest in the literary world, even outside of France. Inspired by an authentic moral engagement, he devotes himself with all his being to the great fundamental questions of life, and certainly this aspiration corresponds to the idealistic end for which the Nobel Prize was established. Behind his incessant affirmation of the absurdity of the human condition is no sterile negativism. This view of things is supplemented in him by a powerful imperative, a nevertheless, an appeal to the will which incites to revolt against absurdity and which, for that reason, creates a value."
130th Field Artillery Regiment	# 130th Field Artillery Regiment ## Abstract The 130th Field Artillery Regiment is a United States Army field artillery regiment, represented in the Kansas Army National Guard by the 2nd Battalion, 130th Field Artillery, part of the 130th Field Artillery Brigade at Hiawatha, Kansas. The regiment was originally organized in 1917 after the United States entry into World War I as the 1st Field Artillery of the Kansas National Guard. Later that year, it mustered into Federal service and was reorganized as the 130th Field Artillery, fighting with the 35th Division in the American Expeditionary Forces in France. After the end of World War I the regiment returned home and was demobilized, briefly reverting to its state designation. In 1921 it became the 130th Field Artillery again and was assigned to the 35th Division. Inducted into Federal service on 23 December 1940 for eventual service in World War II, the regiment was broken up on 1 March 1942 into the 130th (the former 1st Battalion) and 154th (the former 2nd Battalion) Field Artillery Battalions, which were relieved from the 35th Division on 27 January and 12 January 1943, respectively. The 130th Field Artillery Battalion remained stateside until 2 December 1944, when it was sent to Europe, serving in Germany in the final months of the war. The 154th was sent to Alaska on temporary duty on 27 July 1942, fought in the Aleutian Islands Campaign, and after its official relief from the 35th Division was later deployed to the Pacific Theater. Postwar, both battalions returned to state service, with the 130th becoming the 130th Armored Field Artillery Battalion. In 1959 both battalions consolidated as the 130th Artillery under the Combat Arms Regimental System.
1917 Macquarie state by-election	# 1917 Macquarie state by-election ## Abstract The 1917 Macquarie state by-election was held for the New South Wales state electoral district of Macquarie on 28 July 1917. The by-election was triggered by the death of Australian Labor Party MP Thomas Thrower, who had died only three months after being re-elected at the 1917 state election. Labor preselected as their candidate Patrick McGirr, a member of the Parkes Land Board and the brother of Greg McGirr, the state member for Yass. McGirr was selected overwhelmingly from a broad field that included Iron Trades Federation secretary E. M. Davies, Amalgamated Railway and Tramway Association assistant secretary R. Corish, radical Sydney Wharf Laborers' Union president William McCristal and unsuccessful federal or state election candidates T. Lavelle, I. A. Vitnell, Tom Brown and W. J. Boston. The preselection process for the new conservative Nationalist Party was somewhat chaotic, with different meetings of local interests and organisations that had come together to form the new party recommending different candidates to the state executive. The eventual executive decision largely came down to two candidates: Wellington miller Murdoch McLeod and Dubbo businessman H. T. Blackett, but also saw some support for former federal MP Ernest Carr, who had lost his seat at that year's election, with McLeod ultimately endorsed as the candidate. A third candidate, former federal MP Frank Foster, is often recorded as having contested as an independent or "Independent Nationalist", but campaigned for his own new minor party, the Australian Producers Co-Operative Party. Foster had been a Labor MP until losing his seat in 1913 and had left the party in the 1916 Labor split, but had not joined the Nationalist Party and had instead sought to form his own party taking a middle position between the two parties. McGirr won the by-election, finishing 239 votes ahead of McLeod with Foster a distant third, an increase on the Labor majority from the general election. McGirr was reported to have polled well in the larger centres while McLeod had performed better in the rural booths. The pro-Labor National Advocate newspaper in Bathurst described the result as a "magnificent success" that showed that the party was recovering from "the defection of the renegades" in the 1916 party split; they also noted that the result in the usually marginal seat was "the greatest for over nine years" and suggested the margin would have been larger had it not been for Foster's candidacy. The more conservative Evening News in Sydney downplayed the result, stating "the two parties simply maintained their respective positions: no advantage has been gained by either side", but drew attention to the Nationalist failure to win the seat despite dedicating tremendous resources, stating "the eloquence of nearly every Minister in the New South Wales Government was released upon the electors of Macquarie, but it fell short of success. This needs some explanation." ## Results
Ludwig Byström	# Ludwig Byström ## Abstract Ludwig Byström (born 20 July 1994) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently an unrestricted free agent. He most recently played for Nürnberg Ice Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). He was drafted 43rd overall by the Dallas Stars in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. ## Playing career Prior to being drafted, Byström played with Modo Hockey in the Elitserien during the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons. During the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, Byström was drafted in the second round, 43rd overall by the Dallas Stars. On 16 July 2012, he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Stars. However, he was then returned on loan to Modo. On 29 April 2013, Byström was reassigned from Modo to league rivals Färjestad BK for two seasons on loan. At the completion of the 2014–15 season with Färjestad BK, Byström embarked on his North American career in reporting to the Stars' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate in Texas on 12 March 2015. On 17 June 2017, the Stars re-signed Byström to a one-year, two-way extension worth $650,000. On 10 November 2017 Byström was traded to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Reece Scarlett. He was immediately assigned to Panthers' AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds. On 31 May 2018, he signed a one-year contract extension with the Panthers. Following the 2018–19 season, his fifth season in North America, unable to break into the NHL, Byström as an impending restricted free agent from the Panthers opted to return to Europe, securing a two-year contract with Finnish club, Oulun Kärpät, on 16 May 2019. ## Career statistics
1971 BRDC International Trophy	# 1971 BRDC International Trophy ## Abstract The 23rd BRDC International Trophy meeting - formally the GEN/ Daily Express BRDC International Trophy - was held on 8 May 1971 at the Silverstone Circuit, England. The race was run to Formula One and Formula 5000 regulations, and was held over two heats of 26 laps each, the final results being an aggregate of the two. Graham Hill emerged the winner in the unique Brabham BT34 lobster-claw car, designed by Ron Tauranac. It would be the two-time World Champion's last victory in a Formula One race. The 1971 event was also notable as one of the few competitive outings for the Lotus 56 gas turbine car. However, suspension failure on only the third lap of the first heat resulted in early retirement for driver Emerson Fittipaldi, although the car held together for long enough to take third place in the second heat. The race incorporated Round 5 of the 1971 Rothmans European Formula 5000 Championship. ## Results ### Final aggregate Note: a blue background indicates a Formula 5000 entrant.
1925 Miami tornado	# 1925 Miami tornado ## Abstract The 1925 Miami tornado was an intense tornado that struck Dade County, Florida, on April 5, 1925. It remains the deadliest tornado to affect the South Florida county, and it is estimated to have been the most intense tornado to strike the Miami area. The tornado caused five deaths and produced damage totals that were estimated near $200–300,000 (1925 USD). 35 people were also hospitalized because of injuries. The tornado remains the only tornado to cause multiple fatalities in Dade County. While officially unrated, it is estimated that the tornado likely produced F3-level damage based on photographs taken after the passage of the supercell. ## Summary The exact path and strength of the tornado are uncertain, since it occurred prior to modern records which began in 1950. The first tornadoes to directly receive damage ratings on the Fujita scale occurred in 1971. The 1925 tornado was first reported in its formative stage over the Everglades near Hialeah, where several golfers noted a funnel cloud around 1:00 p.m. Hail was reported with the parent thunderstorm prior to the sighting of the funnel cloud. The slow movement of the storm was accompanied by a large number of people outside during the Sunday afternoon, which led to a considerable number of reports; several reports originated from passing motorists. The vortex touched down around 1:15 p.m., and the tornado was described as a "very slender" funnel that frequently lifted from the ground for brief periods. The debris swirling around the rotation was compared to smoke from "burning oil." Later, as it passed west of Miami, the slow-moving tornado passed over and destroyed the state's largest dairy farm, killing one person and injuring 20 people. Losses from the farm reached $100,000. The tornado eventually intensified and destroyed numerous properties northwest and north of the city of Miami, causing at least three deaths. Some residents successfully attempted to flee in automobiles, though the cars were wrecked and some were thrown for distances. The tornado became obscured by rain, weakened, and dissipated over the northern portion of Biscayne Bay, though it destroyed some power poles along the eastern half of its damage path. Hail associated with the storm was measured to 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter, damaging automobiles and residences' roofs. The damage path was less than 100 yards (91 m) in width, and the funnel was visible for nearly one hour. The thunderstorm that spawned the tornado also affected the communities of Ojus, Little River, Biscayne Park, and Lemon City, having traversed the region from Homestead to Fort Lauderdale. In total, the tornado demolished nearly 50 residences. Five fatalities were related directly to the tornado or injuries from flying debris. One of the deaths occurred inside a restaurant; the building was demolished and a cookstove thrown 100 yd (91 m). Hundreds of people were homeless after the storm, and several residences were destroyed at Biscayne Park.

Due to this being the NFL's last 12-game regular season and the addition of the Dallas Cowboys giving the league 13 teams - meaning each team was required to have a bye during the season - the 1960 Lions are the last NFL team that did not play its season opener until October: Detroit drew its bye during Week One, which was in the last week of September. Ironically, in the next season in which each NFL team had a bye week (in 1966, due to addition of the Atlanta Falcons giving the league 15 teams), the Lions did not have their bye until Week 15 (the last week of that season). ## Regular season ### Schedule - Thursday (November 24: Thanksgiving) - A bye week was necessary in 1960, as the league expanded to an odd-number (13) of teams (Dallas); one team was idle each week. ### Game summaries #### Week 9 Thanksgiving Day game ## Standings Note: Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972. ## Playoff Bowl The first Playoff Bowl game for third place was played at the Orange Bowl in Miami, the week following the NFL Championship game.

180th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery	# 180th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery ## Abstract The 180th Field Regiment was a unit of the Royal Artillery, formed by the British Army during World War II. First raised in 1940 as infantry of the North Staffordshire Regiment, it was converted to the field artillery role in 1942, serving as a reserve unit in Home Defence. It was disbanded before the end of the war. ## 8th North Staffordshire Regiment In July 1940, shortly after the British Expeditionary Force was evacuated from Dunkirk, the North Staffordshire Regiment formed a new 8th Battalion. (A previous 8th (Service) Battalion had been raised as part of Kitchener's Army during World War I of 1914–18.) After initial training, the battalion joined a hone defence formation, 205th Independent Infantry Brigade (Home), when that was formed by No 5 Infantry Training Group on 10 October 1940. After briefly serving under 1st Infantry Division, the brigade was assigned to the North Midland Area command. It joined Lincolnshire County Division when that became operational on 27 March 1941. As the name implies, the division served in coast defence in Lincolnshire. As the invasion threat receded, the 'County' divisions had served their purpose and most were disbanded in November 1941, many of their infantry battalions being converted to other roles. 8th North Staffordshires left 205 Bde on 29 November and was selected for conversion to a field regiment of the Royal Artillery. ## 180th Field Regiment, RA 180th Field Regiment, RA, officially came into existence on 1 March 1942 with most of its personnel drawn from 8th North Staffords. It was organised with three batteries, Q, R and S, each to be equipped with eight Mk II 25-pounder guns. The batteries were redesignated P, Q and R on 11 March, and finally numbered as 174, 175 and 176 Field Btys on 1 January 1943. For some months the regiment remained under War Office (WO) control, then at the beginning of December 1942 it was assigned to Northern Command. On 26 December the regiment joined 48th (South Midland) Division, which had just been designated a Reserve division under GHQ Home Forces. As a reserve formation, 48th (SM) Division was not expected to serve overseas but to supply reinforcements to units and formations that were on or preparing for active service. 180th Field Rgt was using as a holding regiment: on 11 January 1943 it was joined by a number of additional batteries from disbanding regiments: - 138 Fd Bty from 167th Fd Rgt of 76th (Reserve) Division - 146 Fd Bty from 169th Fd Rgt - 156, 157 and 158 Fd Btys from 173rd Fd Rgt of 48th (SM) Division However, 173rd Fd Rgt was reformed in 76th (Reserve) Division on 20 July, and its original batteries returned to it, together with 138 Fd Bty. After D Day in June 1944, the reserve formations in the UK supplied large reinforcement drafts to units of 21st Army Group, depleting their strength. On 31 August, 180th Fd Rgt and its three original batteries (174, 175, 176) were disbanded while 146 Fd Bty and the regiment's remaining personnel transferred to 120th (South Midland) Fd Rgt, which joined 48th (SM) Division the following day and served with it as a holding unit until the end of the war.
1941 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship	# 1941 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship ## Abstract The 1941 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 55th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association 's premier inter-county hurling tournament. The championship ended on 28 September 1941. Limerick were the defending champions, however, they were defeated by Cork in the provincial series. The championship was won by Cork who secured the title following a 5-11 to 0-6 defeat of Dublin in the All-Ireland final. This was their 12th All-Ireland title, their first in ten championship seasons. ## Foot-and-mouth disease There was major disruption to the format of the 1941 championship due to a serious outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in many parts of Munster and south Leinster. The championship was run on a knockout provincial basis as usual, however, there was a certain amount of tweaking required to cope with the situation. In the Munster championship Limerick defeated Waterford in the semi-final of the competition and qualified for the Munster final. Cork were drawn to meet Tipperary in the second semi-final, however, this game was cancelled by the Munster Council at the behest of the Department of Agriculture. As a result of this it was decided that Cork would play Limerick and the winners would represent Munster in the All-Ireland series. The delayed Cork-Tipperary game took place after the All-Ireland series, however, since Cork had already beaten Limerick this was now deemed to be the Munster decider. Tipperary won that game. It was a similar story in the Leinster championship as foot-and-mouth disease ravaged southern parts of the province. Kilkenny were drawn to play Laois in one of the earlier stages of the provincial competition, however, the match could not take place and Kilkenny were given a bye into the Leinster final. The Department of Agriculture subsequently brought out an order that Kilkenny could not play in the Leinster final until the county was three weeks clear of the disease. The result was that Dublin were nominated to represent Leinster in the All-Ireland series. A delayed Leinster final was played after the completion of the All-Ireland final with Dublin defeating Kilkenny. ## Teams ### Overview Six teams contested the Leinster championship while five teams contested the Munster championship. Galway, who faced no competition in their own province, entered the championship at the All-Ireland semi-final stage. No team from Ulster participated in the senior championship. ## Results ### Leinster Senior Hurling Championship ### Munster Senior Hurling Championship First round Semi-finals Finals ### All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship ## Championship statistics ### Scoring - Widest winning margin: 23 points Cork 8-10 : 5-2 Limerick (Munster final, 14 September 1941) - Cork 8-10 : 5-2 Limerick (Munster final, 14 September 1941) - Most goals in a match: 11 Cork 8-10 : 5-2 Limerick (Munster final, 14 September 1941) Laois 5-7 : 6-11 Dublin (Leinster semi-final, 20 July 1941) - Cork 8-10 : 5-2 Limerick (Munster final, 14 September 1941) - Laois 5-7 : 6-11 Dublin (Leinster semi-final, 20 July 1941) - Most points in a match: 18 Laois 5-7 : 6-11 Dublin (Leinster semi-final, 20 July 1941) - Laois 5-7 : 6-11 Dublin (Leinster semi-final, 20 July 1941) - Most goals by one team in a match: 8 Cork 8-10 : 5-2 Limerick (Munster final, 14 September 1941) Offaly 8-4 : 2-2 Westmeath (Leinster first round, 18 May 1941) - Cork 8-10 : 5-2 Limerick (Munster final, 14 September 1941) - Offaly 8-4 : 2-2 Westmeath (Leinster first round, 18 May 1941) - Most goals scored by a losing team: 5 Laois 5-7 : 6-11 Dublin (Leinster semi-final, 20 July 1941) - Laois 5-7 : 6-11 Dublin (Leinster semi-final, 20 July 1941) - Most points scored by a losing team: 8 Kilkenny 1-8 : 2-8 Dublin (Leinster final, 2 November 1941) - Kilkenny 1-8 : 2-8 Dublin (Leinster final, 2 November 1941) ### Miscellaneous - Cork win their 12th All-Ireland title to draw level with Kilkenny and Tipperary at the top of the all-time roll of honour. It is the second time that "the big three" share the title of roll of honour leaders. - Cork's defeat by Tipperary in the delayed Munster final left the team with the unusual distinction of being the first All-Ireland champions and provincial runners-up. ## Player facts ### Debutants The following players made their début in the 1941 senior championship: ### Retirees The following players played their last game in the 1941 championship: ## Sources - Corry, Eoghan, The GAA Book of Lists (Hodder Headline Ireland, 2005). - Donegan, Des, The Complete Handbook of Gaelic Games (DBA Publications Limited, 2005). - Horgan, Tim, Christy Ring: Hurling's Greatest (The Collins Press, 2007). - Nolan, Pat, Flashbacks: A Half Century of Cork Hurling (The Collins Press, 2000). - Sweeney, Éamonn, Munster HUrling Legends (The O'Brien Press, 2002).

1922 Burmese general election	# 1922 Burmese general election ## Abstract General elections were held in Burma on 21 November 1922 to elect members of the Legislative Council. They were the first elections in the country's history. ## Electoral system The Legislative Council had 103 members, of which 80 were elected; 58 "non-communal" seats elected by a common roll, and 22 "communal" seats reserved for ethnic minorities (eight for Indians, five for Karens, one European and one Anglo-Indian) and business groups (two for the Burma Chamber of Commerce, and one each for the Burmese Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Indian Chamber of Commerce, the Rangoon Trades Association and Rangoon University). A further 21 seats were appointed by the Governor (a maximum of 14 of which could be government officials) and there were also two ex officio members, the two members of the Executive Council of the Governor. All citizens over the age of 18 were enfranchised as long as they met certain requirements. Suffrage in the 44 rural constituencies was based on taxation - in Upper Burma voters had to pay household tax, whilst in Lower Burma they had to pay the married rate of capitation tax. This requirement disenfranchised most of the peasantry. In eight towns with urban constituencies the same requirements as for local elections were applied. Of the country's 12 million population, only 1.8 million were eligible to vote, as the Shan States and some border districts were not part of the election. Separate seats were established for Karen, Eurasians and Europeans. Candidates had to be aged 25 or over. ## Campaign The election was contested by moderates and radical nationalists. Whilst the moderates aimed to change the system from within, the nationalists campaigned for separation from India and home rule. The General Council of Burmese Associations called for a boycott of the election, although one faction formed the 21 Party to contest it. Candidates were accused of selling out to the British authorities, and voters were intimidated by campaigners calling for a boycott and nationalist monks. Of the 80 elected seats, 24 were uncontested. For the remaining seats there were 162 candidates. ## Results The 21 Party led by U Ba Pe emerged as the largest in the Council with 28 of the 58 non-communal seats. The Progressive Party won around 15 seats, and the remaining seats were won by independents. In Rangoon three moderates and one "extremist" were elected. Voter turnout was very low, at just 6.9%. ## Aftermath Following the elections, the Progressive Party gained in strength as several of members representing communal or commercial seats had joined it. Governor Harcourt Butler formed a mixed cabinet, including members of both parties; U Maung Gyee of the 21 Party was appointed Minister for Education, Local Government and Public Health, whilst Joseph Augustus Maung Gyi of the Progressive Party became Minister for Agriculture, Excise Control and Forests. In addition, U Maung Kin was appointed Minister of Home Affairs. The other cabinet members were the Governor and a civil servant as Minister of Financial Affairs. When U Maung Kin died in 1924 he was replaced by U May Oung, and later in the year Joseph Maung Gyi was made a High Court judge and was replaced by U Pu.

1917 Utah Agricultural Aggies football team	# 1917 Utah Agricultural Aggies football team ## Abstract The 1917 Utah Agricultural Aggies football team was an American football team that represented Utah Agricultural College (later renamed Utah State University) in the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) during the 1917 college football season. In their second and final season under head coach Jack Watson, the Aggies compiled a 7–0–1 record (4–0 against RMC opponents), shut out four of eight opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 267 to 26. The team was regarded as the strongest squad fielded by the school to that time. At the end of the season, both Denver and Utah State were undefeated against Rocky Mountain Conference opponents. A game between Denver and Utah State was proposed to determine an undisputed conference champion, but Denver's faculty ruled against the game. Denver officials claimed the title and asserted that the Utah Aggies "have a right to claim nothing more than a tie for the honors." Despite the controversy at the time, Utah State does not claim a conference championship for 1917 and lists the seasons as a second-place finish in its media guide.
