# 1924 Kenosha Maroons 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.

## Background

The Kenosha Maroons played their sole home game on the company athletic grounds of the Nash-Simmons Motor Company. The team's stars were halfback Dick Vick of Washington & Jefferson College and Lou Usher, a tackle who played at Syracuse.
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.
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. 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.
