With Headington United now the largest club in the city, they were renamed Oxford United. The name change proved controversial, both for the Headington supporters, and those preferring to watch Oxford City at the White House Ground.
Oxford United were champions of the Southern League, but at that time, promotion was not guaranteed. Instead, the champions could apply to join the Football League, whist the lowest four league clubs would have to reapply to stay in the league.
Oxford's application was unsuccessful, with Exeter, Barrow, Hartlepools United and Chester all being re-elected to remain in Division Four.
