1924 Kenosha Maroons season
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox NFL season
The 1924 Kenosha Maroons season was their sole season in the National Football League. The team played its final game on November 9, abruptly ending their year a record of 0–4–1.[1]
Background
The Kenosha Maroons played their sole home game on the company athletic grounds of the Nash-Simmons Motor Company.[2] The team's stars were halfback Dick Vick of Washington & Jefferson College and Lou Usher, a tackle who played at Syracuse.[2]
The team's final game, played in Buffalo, New York, was reckoned at the time to been the longest excursion ever undertaken to play a professional football game — over 1,000 miles by rail, via Chicago.[2]
The best players from the team finished the season playing with the counterparts on the similarly shuttered Hammond Pros on Thanksgiving Day as part of a touring agglomeration known as the Kenosha All-Stars.[3] That team lost to the Rock Island Independents in a game at Douglas Park, 10 to 6, in front of what was reckoned the smallest crowd to ever see a pro football game in that city.[4]
