abstract: The 1964 United States presidential election in New York took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. New York voters chose 43 electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson and his running mate, President pro tempore of the Senate Hubert Humphrey, against Republican challenger and Senator Barry Goldwater from Arizona and his running mate and Chair of the Republican National Committee, William E. Miller. Johnson carried the state in a historic landslide, taking 68.56% of the vote to Goldwater's 31.31%, a victory margin of 37.25%. This is the only election in history in which a Democratic presidential candidate carried every single county in the state of New York. The staunch conservative Barry Goldwater was widely seen in the liberal Northeast as a right-wing extremist; he had voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Johnson campaign portrayed him as a warmonger who as president would provoke a nuclear war. Thus Goldwater performed especially weakly in northeastern states like New York: he wrote off the state and neighboring Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island from the beginning of his presidential campaign even before Kennedy's assassination. For the first time in history, a Democratic presidential candidate swept every Northeastern state in 1964. Not only did Johnson win every Northeastern state, but he won all of them with over 60% of the vote. New York weighed in as the fifth most Democratic state in the nation. Johnson dominated heavily Democratic cities such as New York City, the largest in the country, as well as the upstate cities of Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, which historically provided Democratic candidates an advantage. However, Johnson also swept every county in the state, including traditionally Republican parts of upstate New York and Long Island. Johnson carried all five boroughs of New York City, the first presidential candidate to do so since the landslide re-election of Franklin Roosevelt in 1936. In the borough of Manhattan, Johnson broke 80% of the vote, the first presidential candidate ever to do so. Brooklyn and the Bronx voted over 70% Democratic. Traditionally Republican Queens, narrowly carried by John F. Kennedy four years earlier in 1960, gave over 60% of the vote to Johnson. Even Staten Island voted Democratic, although it was the only county to give Goldwater more than 45% of the vote. Overall, New York City gave Johnson 73.02% of the vote, a citywide vote share no candidate would surpass until fellow Democrat Bill Clinton’s 77.10% in 1996. With 2,183,646 votes from the five boroughs, Johnson also received more votes in New York City than any other presidential candidate in history, setting a record that would hold until Democrat Hillary Clinton won 2,191,869 votes in 2016. Johnson's record of 4.9 million votes won by a single candidate in New York would hold for four years longer, being surpassed by Joe Biden in 2020. Johnson's 68.56% of the vote remains the highest vote share any presidential candidate of either party has ever received in New York State. His 37.25% victory margin also remains the widest margin by which any Democratic presidential candidate has ever won New York State, and the second widest margin by which any candidate of either party has ever carried the state behind Republican Warren G. Harding’s 37.61% margin in the 1920 Republican landslide. This result also made Johnson one of only three presidential candidates of either party who have been able to sweep every county in New York State, along with Harding in 1920 and his successor Calvin Coolidge in 1924. New York weighed in for this election as 15% more Democratic than the national average.

Most of these counties were in the far western reaches of New York where the Whig Party was strongest in the Second Party System, before the rise of the Republican Party and during which Democrats regularly won more than a handful of upstate New York counties. Unlike some analogous Northeastern counties where Johnson only won very narrowly, like Lancaster in Pennsylvania, Johnson won these normally Republican upstate counties by large margins over 25%.

# 1968 Tasmanian casino referendum

The **Tasmanian casino referendum** was a one-question referendum held on 14 December 1968, which concerned the granting of Australia's first casino licence to the Federal Group to operate the Wrest Point Hotel Casino in Sandy Bay.

## Background

The Wrest Point Riviera hotel was purchased by the Federal Group in the 1960s, and the new owners approached Premier Eric Reece about the prospect of the Tasmanian government granting a licence to create an entertainment complex and convention centre that would contain a small casino on the premises, citing that it would attract tourists during Tasmania's traditional winter "tourist slump". Reece agreed that a casino would be a tourism attraction in Tasmania Reece and together with health minister Merv Everett began to promote the development. Despite a vigorous campaign there was considerable opposition to the casino bill when it was introduced to parliament on 4 October 1968 as no casino licence had been granted in Australia before. Two weeks later *The Mercury* newspaper reported the bill was likely to be lost by one or two votes. Reece and Everett then withdrew the bill and on 31 October 1968 announced a referendum would take place to decide the issue.

The legislation to permit the referendum was itself highly contentious and did not pass parliament until 21 November 1968, after which the date of the referendum was set to be three weeks later on 14 December. With the vote on a knife's edge, it is alleged that the government deliberately proposed a question that was opaque. The question put to the people was:

> Are you in favour of the provisions of "Wrest Point Casino Licence and Development Act, 1968", the full text of which has been published in the newspapers?"

## Vote on the bill

Despite having a vote on the bill scheduled in December, and with the campaigning already underway, the state Labor government, realising they had the numbers on the floor of the parliament, brought the bill to a vote on 6 November 1968. After a non-stop thirty-hour debate and with the vocal opponent Mac Le Fevre overseas and not paired, the bill passed at 5am on 8 November 1968.

In effect, the electorate was being asked to vote on a bill that had already been passed.

### Summary

* Yes: 96,839 (53%); No: 85,862 (47%)
* Turnout: 92.67%
* Informal votes: 8,339

## Aftermath

The referendum passed by a margin of 6%, although the bill had already passed in October that year, granting the licence to the Federal Group. There was considerable opposition to the casino, and concern over the fact that a monopoly licence was awarded to Federal Hotels without any call for a tender.

The Wrest Point Hotel Casino was completed and opened in 1973.

In 1985, the casino introduced poker machines, to much opposition. The pokies have since spread around the state.

title: Rig category

abstract: In category theory, a rig category is a category equipped with two monoidal structures, one distributing over the other.

text:
# Rig category

In category theory, a **rig category** (also known as **bimonoidal category** or **2-rig**) is a category equipped with two monoidal structures, one distributing over the other.

## Definition

A rig category is given by a category $\mathbf {C} $ equipped with:

* a symmetric monoidal structure $(\mathbf {C} ,\oplus ,O)$
* a monoidal structure $(\mathbf {C} ,\otimes ,I)$
* distributing natural isomorphisms: $\delta \_{A,B,C}:A\otimes (B\oplus C)\simeq (A\otimes B)\oplus (A\otimes C)$ and $\delta '\_{A,B,C}:(A\oplus B)\otimes C\simeq (A\otimes C)\oplus (B\otimes C)$
* annihilating (or *absorbing*) natural isomorphisms: $a\_{A}:O\otimes A\simeq O$ and $a'\_{A}:A\otimes O\simeq O$

Those structures are required to satisfy a number of coherence conditions.

## Examples

* **Set**, the category of sets with the disjoint union as $\oplus $ and the cartesian product as $\otimes $. Such categories where the multiplicative monoidal structure is the categorical product and the additive monoidal structure is the coproduct are called distributive categories.
* **Vect**, the category of vector spaces over a field, with the direct sum as $\oplus $ and the tensor product as $\otimes $.

## Strictification

Requiring all isomorphisms involved in the definition of a rig category to be strict does not give a useful definition, as it implies an equality $A\oplus B=B\oplus A$ which signals a degenerate structure. However it is possible to turn most of the isomorphisms involved into equalities.

A rig category is semi-strict if the two monoidal structures involved are strict, both of its annihilators are equalities and one of its distributors is an equality. Any rig category is equivalent to a semi-strict one.

# Florida State Road 68

Known locally as **Orange Avenue**, **State Road 68** (SR 68) is a 4.5-mile-long east–west street in Fort Pierce, Florida. The eastern terminus of SR 68 is at an intersection with North Fourth Street (US 1-SR 5); the roadway continues east a short distance towards Indian River Drive (County Road 707) in downtown Fort Pierce without state or county designation. The western terminus is with Kings Highway (SR 713), just west of Interstate 95 (SR 9). West of Kings Highway, Orange Avenue transitions into County Road 68, heading west for another 25.2 miles (40.6 km), maintaining the CR 68 designation as it crosses into Okeechobee County before ending at an intersection with US 441.

Initially a key road in the citrus industry, SR 68 has since become an important commuter road providing the residences of central Fort Pierce with access to Interstate 95 (SR 9) 0.3 miles east of SR 713. The rural nature of the western end of SR 68 is slowly giving way to urbanization, a trend throughout the Atlantic coast of the State of Florida, as orange groves are gradually being replaced by residential developments.

## History

The historic western terminus of State Road 68 is about 42 miles (68 km) west of the current one. Originally, SR 68 extended from Micco Bluff Road in Okeechobee County west of Basinger near the Kissimmee River, following US 98-SR 700, Northeast 160th Street (present County Road 68), Parrott Avenue (US 441-SR 15), Northeast 224th Street (present County Road 68), and the aptly named Orange Avenue (present County Road 68) to SR 713 as it cuts across the wetlands and the orange groves of central Florida to Fort Pierce. All portions of SR 68 in Okeechobee County as well as the portion from the St. Lucie County east to Kings Highway were transferred to county control in the mid-1980s.

In the late 1990s, the alignment of SR 68 immediately west of US 1 was changed - Orange Avenue between N 7th Street and US 1 was made into an eastbound one-way road, carrying SR 68 along its 2 lanes towards US 1; westbound SR 68 was rerouted one block north of Orange Avenue along Avenue A. From US 1, Avenue A headed west as a 4-lane one-way street for two blocks before ending at N 7th Street. Traffic wishing to follow SR 68 west were forced to turn left onto N 7th Street, then immediately turn right one block later onto Orange Avenue and SR 68 west. A few years later, in the late 2000s, Orange Avenue between N 7th Street and US 1 was restored to two-way traffic, ending the ill-advised and short-lived Avenue A and N 7th Street's SR 68 designation.

# Florida State Road 681

**State Road 681** (**SR 681**), also known as the **Venice Connector**, is a four-mile-long (6.4 km) spur of Interstate 75 (SR 93) near Nokomis, Florida. The road operated as the southern terminus of the expressway in the early 1980s before Interstate 75 extended south to Naples.

## Route description

SR 681 begins at an interchange with US 41/SR 45 in Nokomis, heading north as a four-lane freeway. The road passes through developments, coming to a bridge over the Legacy Trail, a rail trail. The freeway heads northeast coming to an at-grade signalized intersection with Honore Avenue. A short distance later, SR 681 merges onto the northbound direction of I-75/SR 93 at an interchange.

## History

State Road 681 opened to traffic in 1980 when segments of Interstate 75 between Tampa and Naples were still under construction. At the time, it served as the southern terminus of Interstate 75. An access management plan, coordinated between Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Sarasota County, for SR 681 was adopted in December 2005 to establish access points along the limited-access road, reclassifying the road as a "modified limited access" road. The access management plan established the planned locations of at-grade intersections along SR 681 for future growth adjacent to the highway.

In April 2016, the final phase of Sarasota County's Honore Avenue extension was completed. The project extended Honore Avenue from SR 681 to Laurel Road, providing signalized intersections at both limits. This also made Honore Avenue the first contiguous road to run from Venice north to the Sarasota County line since 1982 when State Road 681 was constructed. Previously, US 41 and I-75 were the only continuous north–south thoroughfares linking Venice and Sarasota.

# Ring-imaging Cherenkov detector

The **ring-imaging Cherenkov**, or **RICH**, detector is a device for identifying the type of an electrically charged subatomic particle of known momentum, that traverses a transparent refractive medium, by measurement of the presence and characteristics of the Cherenkov radiation emitted during that traversal. RICH detectors were first developed in the 1980s and are used in high energy elementary particle-, nuclear\- and astro-physics experiments.

This article outlines the origins and principles of the RICH detector, with brief examples of its different forms in modern physics experiments.

## Ring-imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector

### Origins

The ring-imaging detection technique was first proposed by Jacques Séguinot and Tom Ypsilantis, working at CERN in 1977. Their research and development, of high precision single-photon detectors and related optics, lay the foundations for the design development and construction of the first large-scale Particle Physics RICH detectors, at CERN's OMEGA facility and LEP (Large Electron–Positron Collider) DELPHI experiment.

### Principles

A ring-imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detector allows the identification of electrically charged subatomic particle types through the detection of the Cherenkov radiation emitted (as photons) by the particle in traversing a medium with refractive index $n$ \> 1. The identification is achieved by measurement of the angle of emission, $\theta \_{c}$, of the Cherenkov radiation, which is related to the charged particle's velocity $v$ by

$$\cos \theta \_{c}={\frac {c}{nv}}$$

where $c$ is the speed of light.

Knowledge of the particle's momentum and direction (normally available from an associated momentum-spectrometer) allows a predicted $v$ for each hypothesis of the particles type; using the known $n$ of the RICH radiator gives a corresponding prediction of $\theta \_{c}$ that can be compared to the $\theta \_{c}$ of the detected Cherenkov photons, thus indicating the particle's identity (usually as a probability per particle type). A typical (simulated) distribution of $\theta \_{c}$ vs momentum of the source particle, for single Cherenkov photons, produced in a gaseous radiator (n~1.0005, angular resolution~0.6mrad) is shown in the following Fig.1:

The different particle types follow distinct contours of constant mass, smeared by the effective angular resolution of the RICH detector; at higher momenta each particle emits a number of Cherenkov photons which, taken together, give a more precise measure of the average $\theta \_{c}$ than does a single photon (see Fig.3 below), allowing effective particle separation to extend beyond 100 GeV in this example. This particle identification is essential for the detailed understanding of the intrinsic physics of the structure and interactions of elementary particles. The essence of the ring-imaging method is to devise an optical system with single-photon detectors, that can isolate the Cherenkov photons that each particle emits, to form a single "ring image" from which an accurate $\theta \_{c}$ can be determined.

A polar plot of the Cherenkov angles of photons associated with a 22 GeV/c particle in a radiator with $n$=1.0005 is shown in Fig.2; both pion and kaon are illustrated; protons are below Cherenkov threshold, $c/nv\>1$, producing no radiation in this case (which would also be a very clear signal of particle type = proton, since fluctuations in the number of photons follow Poisson statistics about the expected mean, so that the probability of e.g. a 22 GeV/c kaon producing zero photons when ~12 were expected is very small; *e−12* or 1 in 162755). The number of detected photons shown for each particle type is, for illustration purposes, the average for that type in a RICH having $N\_{c}$ ~ 25 (see below). The distribution in azimuth is random between 0 and 360 degrees; the distribution in $\theta \_{c}$ is spread with RMS angular resolution ~ 0.6 milliradians.

Note that, because the points of emission of the photons can be at any place on the (normally straight line) trajectory of the particle through the radiator, the emerging photons occupy a light-cone in space.

In a RICH detector the photons within this light-cone pass through an optical system and impinge upon a position sensitive photon detector. With a suitably focusing optical system this allows reconstruction of a ring, similar to that above in Fig.2, the radius of which gives a measure of the Cherenkov emission angle $\theta \_{c}$.

The resolving power of this method is illustrated by comparing the Cherenkov angle *per photon*, see the first plot, Fig.1 above, with the mean Cherenkov angle *per particle* (averaged over all photons emitted by that particle) obtained by ring-imaging, shown in Fig.3; the greatly enhanced separation between particle types is very clear.

### Optical Precision and Response

This ability of a RICH system to successfully resolve different hypotheses for the particle type depends on two principal factors, which in turn depend upon the listed sub-factors;

* **The effective angular resolution per photon**, $\sigma $
    + *Chromatic dispersion in the radiator* ( $n$ varies with photon frequency)
    + *Aberrations in the optical system*
    + *Position resolution of the photon detector*
* **The maximum number of detected photons in the ring-image**, $N\_{c}$
    + *The length of radiator through which the particle travels*
    + *Photon transmission through the radiator material*
    + *Photon transmission through the optical system*
    + *Quantum efficiency of the photon detectors*

$\sigma $ is a measure of the intrinsic optical precision of the RICH detector. $N\_{c}$ is a measure of the optical response of the RICH; it can be thought of as the limiting case of the number of actually detected photons produced by a particle whose velocity approaches that of light, averaged over all relevant particle trajectories in the RICH detector. The average number of Cherenkov photons detected, for a slower particle, of charge $q$ (normally ±1), emitting photons at angle $\theta \_{c}$ is then

$$N={\dfrac {N\_{c}q^{2}\sin ^{2}(\theta \_{c})}{1-{\dfrac {1}{n^{2}}}}}$$

and the precision with which the mean Cherenkov angle can be determined with these photons is approximately

$$\sigma \_{m}={\frac {\sigma }{\sqrt {N}}}$$

to which the angular precision of the emitting particle's measured direction must be added in quadrature, if it is not negligible compared to $\sigma \_{m}$.

### Particle Identification

Given the known momentum of the emitting particle and the refractive index of the radiator, the expected Cherenkov angle for each particle type can be predicted, and its difference from the observed mean Cherenkov angle calculated. Dividing this difference by $\sigma \_{m}$ then gives a measure of the 'number of sigma' deviation of the hypothesis from the observation, which can be used in computing a probability or likelihood for each possible hypothesis. The following Fig.4 shows the 'number of sigma' deviation of the kaon hypothesis from a true pion ring image (*π not k*) and of the pion hypothesis from a true kaon ring image (*k not π*), as a function of momentum, for a RICH with $n$ = 1.0005, $N\_{c}$ = 25, $\sigma $ = 0.64 milliradians;

Also shown are the average number of detected photons from pions(*Ngπ*) or from kaons(*Ngk*). One can see that the RICH's ability to separate the two particle types exceeds 4-sigma everywhere between threshold and 80 GeV/c, finally dropping below 3-sigma at about 100 GeV.

It is important to note that **this result is for an 'ideal' detector**, with homogeneous acceptance and efficiency, normal error distributions and zero background. No such detector exists, of course, and in a real experiment much more sophisticated procedures are actually used to account for those effects; position dependent acceptance and efficiency; non-Gaussian error distributions; non negligible and variable event-dependent backgrounds.

In practice, for the multi-particle final states produced in a typical collider experiment, separation of kaons from other final state hadrons, mainly pions, is the most important purpose of the RICH. In that context the two most vital RICH functions, which maximise signal and minimise combinatorial backgrounds, are its ability to *correctly identify a kaon as a kaon* and its ability *not to misidentify a pion as a kaon*. The related probabilities, which are the usual measures of signal detection and background rejection in real data, are plotted in Fig.5 below to show their variation with momentum (simulation with 10% random background);

Note that the ~30% *π → k* misidentification rate at 100 GeV is, for the most part, due to the presence of 10% background hits (faking photons) in the simulated detector; the 3-sigma separation in the mean Cherenkov angle (shown in Fig.4 above) would, by itself, only account for about 6% misidentification. More detailed analyses of the above type, for operational RICH detectors, can be found in the published literature.

For example, the LHCb experiment at the CERN LHC studies, amongst other *B-meson* decays, the particular process *B0 → π+π*. The following Fig.6 shows, on the left, the *π+π* mass distribution without RICH identification, where all particles are assumed to be *π*; the *B0 → π+π* signal of interest is the turquoise-dotted line and is completely swamped by background due to *B* and *Λ* decays involving kaons and protons, and combinatorial background from particles not associated with the *B0* decay.

On the right are the same data with RICH identification used to select only pions and reject kaons and protons; the *B0 → π+π* signal is preserved but all kaon- and proton-related backgrounds are greatly reduced, so that the overall *B0* signal/background has improved by a factor ~ 6, allowing much more precise measurement of the decay process.

### RICH Types

Both focusing and proximity-focusing detectors are in use (Fig.7). In a focusing RICH detector, the photons are collected by a spherical mirror with focal length $f$ and focused onto the photon detector placed at the focal plane. The result is a circle with a radius $r=f\theta \_{c}$, independent of the emission point along the particle's track ( $\theta \_{c}\ll 1$). This scheme is suitable for low refractive index radiators (i.e., gases) with their larger radiator length needed to create enough photons.

In the more compact proximity-focusing design a thin radiator volume emits a cone of Cherenkov light which traverses a small distance, the proximity gap, and is detected on the photon detector plane. The image is a ring of light the radius of which is defined by the Cherenkov emission angle and the proximity gap. The ring thickness is mainly determined by the thickness of the radiator. An example of a proximity gap RICH detector is the High Momentum Particle Identification (HMPID), one of the detectors of ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), which is one of the five experiments at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN.

In a DIRC (Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light, Fig.8), another design of a RICH detector, light that is captured by total internal reflection inside the solid radiator reaches the light sensors at the detector perimeter, the precise rectangular cross section of the radiator preserving the angular information of the Cherenkov light cone. One example is the DIRC of the BaBar experiment at SLAC.

The LHCb experiment on the Large Hadron Collider, Fig.9, uses two RICH detectors for differentiating between pions and kaons. The first (RICH-1) is located immediately after the Vertex Locator (VELO) around the interaction point and is optimised for low-momentum particles and the second (RICH-2) is located after the magnet and particle-tracker layers and optimised for higher-momentum particles.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer device AMS-02, Fig.10, recently mounted on the International Space Station uses a RICH detector in combination with other devices to analyze cosmic rays.

# 1973–74 Dumbarton F.C. season

The **1973–74** season was the 90th football season in which Dumbarton competed at a Scottish national level, entering the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. In addition Dumbarton played in the Stirlingshire Cup.

## Story of the Season

### Players

Following the last day escape from relegation in the previous season, it was hoped that this season would show a vast improvement, and to this end Davy Wilson gave up his playing boots to become assistant to manager Alex Wright.

Missing from the first XI was Charlie Gallagher who retired after 3 seasons at Boghead with 96 appearances and 40 goals. In addition Jake Bolton was given a free transfer after 3 successful seasons and 111 appearances in a Dumbarton shirt.

Amongst those joining up were goalkeeper John Taylor from Queen's Park, and full backs Peter McQuade and Don Watt from East Fife and Celtic respectively.

### August

The first game of season 1973-74 saw Dumbarton host a first round Stirlingshire Cup tie against Clydebank and easily triumphed 3–0.

The next day a 16-man squad left for a training camp in Spain – the first trip abroad for the club since 1922. During the trip they played a friendly match on 7 August against Spanish regional side LLloret de Mar, winning 5–1.

On their return it was straight into League Cup business where Dumbarton had been drawn in a tough section along with Ayr United, Morton and Hibernian. And so it was to prove as the first four matches yielded just one point - a 1–1 home draw against Morton was all that there was to show, against the loss of all three away games - 2-0 v Ayr United, 1-0 v Hibernian and 1–0 against Morton.

Meanwhile, Dumbarton accepted a £40,000 offer from Dundee for Tom McAdam, but left it up to the young striker to decide as to his future.

On 25 August Dumbarton played the return League Cup tie against Hibernian at Boghead, crushing the Easter Road side 4-1 and leaving the door still open for qualification to the next round. The subsequent 1–0 home win against Ayr United four days later confirmed this and a lucrative second round tie against Rangers. The good news continued as McAdam decided to remain at Boghead.

### September

The new league season commenced on 1 September with a home tie against Dundee United, but despite having the visitors under siege for most of the match, Dundee United won the match 2–1.

The following weekend it was a trip to Brockville to play Falkirk but this time the Dumbarton pressure was converted into goals with a 3–2 win.

On 12 September the first leg of the second round League Cup tie was played against Rangers at Ibrox. Dumbarton were missing John Cushley and Brian Heron, and the previous season's Scottish Cup winning side easily brushed the Sons aside 6–0.

Roy McCormack joined Cushley and Heron on the injury list when Ayr United came to Boghead for the league fixture on 15 September and in a disappointing game the home side lost 2–0.

The bad results continued a week later at Gayfield when a one-goal advantage and barrowloads of other chances were thrown away to lose 2–1 to Arbroath.

The final game of September however saw Dumbarton pick up their first home league win of the season with a deserved 2–0 win over Partick Thistle. On the same day Dumbarton signed teenager Iain Wallace from junior side Yoker Athletic – a player from whom much would be heard from in the future.

So at the end of the month Hearts led the way in the league with 8 points, a point ahead of Motherwell. Dumbarton were in 13th place on 4 points.

### October

On 6 October Dumbarton visited Bayview and Dumbarton came away with both points after an 88th minute Paterson goals secured a 1-0 league win over East Fife.

Four days later, Rangers cruised through to the quarter-finals of the League Cup by following up their first leg 6–0 win with a 2–1 victory at Boghead.

The following weekend it was Aberdeen who came to Dumbarton in the league and after a closely contested game it was the visitors who left with the points after a Drew Jarvie goal was enough to complete a 1–0 win.

Unbeaten Hearts hosted Dumbarton on 20 October. Hearts were frustrated by a Dumbarton defensive line up and the match ended in a 0–0 draw – although things could have been worse for Hearts as in the last 10 minutes a penalty claim was turned down as Roy McCormack was upended in the area and an unmarked Willie Wallace missed the target from eight yards.

A week later the Sons travelled to Shawfield in the league to play Clyde and in a fast flowing attacking game Dumbarton achieved a comfortable 3–0 win. After the game Alex Wright's position as manager was made full time.

At the end of October Celtic and Hearts led the way in the league with 13 points, while Dumbarton had climbed to 8th with 9 points.

### November

Dumbarton celebrated Alex Wright's first game as full time manager on 3 November with a second successive 3–0 win this time against Motherwell at Boghead – and at the same time moved into 6th place in the league.

However the unbeaten run came to an end a week later when Dundee held on to record a 2–1 win against the Sons at Dens Park.

On 17 November Dumbarton were back in winning ways when they came back from a half time 1–0 deficit to beat St Johnstone 2–1 at Boghead with two Brian Heron goals.

The following weekend saw Celtic visit a muddy Boghead and while silky football was little in evidence, goals from Kenny Dalglish and Bobby Lennox were enough for the visitors to see off the Sons.

This meant Celtic headed the league at the end of the month with 21 points from 12 games – 3 points ahead of Hearts. Dumbarton were in 13th place with 13 points.

### December

Bad weather caused postponements for a number of weeks meaning the next game took place on 15 December at Cappielow against Morton. A goal in the first half put Dumbarton ahead but two goals in quick succession early in the second half followed by the ordering off of a player from each sides turned the match on its head and eventually Morton finished as 3-1 victors.

The following week Dumbarton entertained Rangers at Boghead and a powerful display by the visitors in the first half was enough to earn both points in a 2–0 win.

On 29 December Dumbarton were on the road again this time to Tannadice to face off against Dundee United and in a superb display topped off by four goals from teenager Andy Gray, the home team devastated the Sons by 6–0.

The same weekend long term utility player Kenny Jenkins announced his intention to emigrate to Australia. Over five seasons Jenkins had played 175 matches for Dumbarton and had scored 22 goals.

So 1973 ended with Celtic pulling further ahead in the league with 27 points from 16 matches played – 6 ahead of Rangers, while Dumbarton had slipped to 13th still with 13 points.

### January

The first game of 1974 brought winless Falkirk to Boghead, but it was to be Dumbarton who would suffer their fifth straight defeat with the Bairns breaking their duck in handsome fashion, 5–1.

On 5 January Dumbarton visited Somerset Park to play Ayr United and the plan to stem the leaky defence appeared to work as a Ross Mathie goal was sufficient to take both points.

A week later Arbroath came to Boghead and in the first half it looked as if the previous defensive frailties had returned as the visitors led 2–0. However a freak goal by Colin McAdam where a free kick taken 5 yards inside his own half bounced on the penalty spot and over the goalkeeper followed by a Willie Wallace strike changed the whole complexion of the game. Thereafter it was all Dumbarton and a Ross Mathie hat-trick completed an amazing 5–2 win.

Away from the domestic scene, Scotland had qualified for the World Cup finals and Dumbarton made an amazing offer to one of Scotland's future opponents Zaire to play a friendly. Current SFA rules prohibited club sides from meeting international teams but the plan was to play a select XI. As it was the proposal never came off.

On 19 January Dumbarton travelled to Firhill to play Partick Thistle but despite both teams playing attacking games the game finished in a 0–0 draw.

Three days later Dumbarton paid a nominal fee to Norwich City for the transfer of Alan Black who had in fact left Dumbarton 11 years earlier on a free transfer.

The following week Dumbarton headed north to Arbroath in the third round of the Scottish Cup. It was not however to be a repeat of the fine win a fortnight earlier as the home side recorded a 1–0 victory to advance to the next round.

The top of the league at the end of January had Celtic still in front with 34 points from 19 games played – but it was now Hibernian who were the nearest challengers, 6 points behind. Dumbarton were in 11th with 18 points from 20 matches.

### February

After a free week Dumbarton travelled to Pittodrie to play Aberdeen in the league, While the game ended in a 3–0 defeat it was overshadowed by bad injuries to two players. During the game Dons young striker Bobby Street broke his leg and Sons goalkeeper Lawrie Williams suffered a fractured cheekbone.

On 16 February East Fife were the visitors to Boghead and not for the first time this season the name of the ground was playing true to its name. Appropriately the goals were scored from headers and finished in a 1–1 draw.

The following weekend Hearts arrived on league business and while the playing surface continued to cause problems the visitors managed to leave with both points after a 1–0 win.

At the end of February Celtic continued at the top of the league with 36 points from 22 games played, still being chased by Hibernian, now 5 points behind. Dumbarton maintained 11th place with 19 points from 23 matches.

### March

The Boghead surface continued to cause problems as Clyde arrived to play their league fixture on 9 March but it was the visitors who adapted quicker to the conditions and went into an early lead. Nevertheless, a 16-yard strike from Wallace in the second half was enough to earn Dumbarton a point.

The next match occurred on 23 March with an away tie against St Johnstone and it looked like Dumbarton were easing towards both points with a 2–0 lead. The home team's goal on 69 minutes seemed to be only a consolation as the game moved into time added. Then St Johnstone's Muir scored a quick double which turned the match on its head - only for Colin McAdam to mount a last gasp counterattack and score the equaliser in the 93rd minute.

In midweek, Dumbarton took a rest from league business to visit Firs Park in a Stirlingshire Cup semi final tie against East Stirling – only progressing on penalties after struggling to a 2–2 draw.

The following weekend Dumbarton visited Celtic Park to take on the team going for their ninth title in a row – but it was the underdogs who shocked the Celtic crowd going in at half time 2-1 up. Kenny Dalglish levelled matters but back came the Sons with an 18-yard strike from Peter Coleman – only for Dixie Deans to equalise with 6 minutes to play.

### April

On 6 April Hibernian came to Boghead, and once again Dumbarton led the way at half time by 2–1. However Hibs fought back and were level by the 60th minute only for John Bourke to push Dumbarton ahead once more three minutes later. But for the third week in a row the result would finish as a 3–3 draw as Cropley scored a last minute goal for the visitors.

Three days later Dumbarton travelled to Motherwell and despite a spirited performance it was the Sons who left pointless in a 2–0 defeat.

Dumbarton had now gone 9 league games without a win and relegation worries were not far away. On 13 April the Sons arrived at East End Park to play fellow strugglers Dunfermline, and despite taking an early 2–0 lead it was the Fifers who came back to snatch a 3–2 win.

Things did not get any better four days later in a midweek match against Hibernian at Easter Road, with Hibs strolling to a comfortable 3–0 win.

However, on 20 April, relegation woes were finally dispelled with a 1–0 win over Morton – the first league success since 11 January.

This was followed up with a second successive 1–0 win at Boghead on 24 April – this time against Dunfermline.

In the final league game of April – and the seventh game in 3 weeks – Dumbarton travelled to Ibrox to play Rangers. The home side were easily the better side but had only a Fyfe goal to show for their superiority at half time. However two Scott goals early in the second half decided the tie, with Heron scoring a consolation goal in the 3–1 defeat.

Four days later Dumbarton took on Stirling Albion at Boghead in the final of the Stirlingshire Cup, with the home side just failing to retain the trophy after losing a penalty shoot-out following a 2–2 draw.

### May

The final game of the league campaign presented Dumbarton with the opportunity to claim 10th spot in the league and a place in next season's Texaco Cup – and first half goals from Heron and Bourke were sufficient to beat Dundee 2–0. However, as it happened the qualification rules were amended and the Texaco Cup dream was not to be.

### Post Season Review

While Celtic had scooped their record ninth title in a row, Dumbarton had their best league campaign since 1918.

During the season Roy McCormack made his 300th appearance for Dumbarton (on 23 February against Hearts). In addition Billy Wilkinson made his ‘century’ of appearances in a Dumbarton shirt against East Fife on 6 October.
