League restructure

Due to increasing travel difficulties under war-time conditions due to World War I, Aberdeen, Dundee and Raith Rovers were asked to retire from the League at the end of the last season. Clydebank were elected to maintain an even number of teams. This meant the league was reduced to 18 teams.
