Note about Harry Watson at the 1924 Olympics:

At the Olympics, Watson scored 36 goals in five games as the Canadian team outscored the opposition 132-3 over six games. In one game against Switzerland, Watson scored 13 goals.

I get that it was more or less Canada and then a bunch of C-level teams at that time, but this still doesn't seem possible.
