:
Oxford City Making Heavy Claim For Expenses
ENGLISH F. A. TAKING UP MATTER
The Oxford City F. C. Swiss tour, organised as usuál by Mr. J. R. Benson, was marred by a most unfortunate incident unprecedented in the history of these ventures. The first match was against Kreuz.} lingen and was played in the evening In floodlight, the kick-off being ni 8.15. The City player were entirely unfamiliar with the conditions under which this game was played. Ther failed to do themselves justler and were well beaten by seven goals to LWn.
Apparently this defeat seems to have convinced the munnger of the Kreuzlingen Club that the City team was not up to the standard he had been led to believe and things began to move.
However, the Cly played a second match against Lustenun (Austria) and were again beaten by 2-1.
