SWISS TOUR BROUGHT TO ABRUPT END
Oxford City Making Heavy Claim For Expenses
| ENGLISH F. A. TAKING UP MATTER The Oxford City F. C. Swiss tour, organised as usual by Mr. J. R. Benson, was marred by a most unfortunate incident unprecedented in the history of these ventures.
The fired nich was against Kreus-[ lingen and was played in the evening In floodlight, the klek-off being at 8.16. The City players were entirely! unfamiliar with the conditions under which this game was played. They failed to do themselves fustice and were well beaten by seven goals toi twa,
Apparently this defeat seem to have convinced the mannger 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 City played a second match against Lustenau (Austria) and were again beaten by 2-1.
