ENGLAND HUMBLED

BY BELGIUM

In An International Football Match

LEG-WEARY TEAM IS

CRUSHED

Brussels.

England suffered her most crushing indignity on the Con- linent with a surprising defeat by 3 goals lo 2 at the Brussels Stadium. Belgium, though not ranking in the first ten nationa on the Continent, inspired by Austria's win, smashed their way to victory by sheer dash and deterraination, and the will-to-win spirit.

They won, despite the fact that they were a goal behind in the first minute of the game, and from the point of individual skill wero definite- ly inferior. In

team work and

stamina, however, they made ample

atonement,

Until they had scored after 17 mindes in the second half the Belginns never looked like winning. Sagar, had not a single shot to save, but once they equalised the Belgians ran riot, nad in the next 15 minutes they placed the issue beyond doubt with two further posla.

During this period they put the leg- weary Enginud team to shame,

Although by trying Crayston in the forward line in place of Cunliffe Eng- land rallied, they could not wipe out the Belgian ascendancy.

Never do I hope to see another England eleven In such poor light. It is no wonder that the continentals had

BAD TEAM TACTICS

Team tactics were bad, the morale unworthy-of-international players.. and the plans of campaign, especially of the forwards, far too orthodox.

While making allowances for the fact that their opponents were faster and filter and the refereeing poor,| England failed dismally as a team.

The chief qualities of the Belgians were speed and the ability to make nent, short passes. Without hesita- tion, I say that a good Second Divi- slon team would beat them five times; out of

six.

The idea to be put forward at the meeting on June 26 is the conversion at the of the present hard court K.C.C. into badminton courts by the erection of a building.

If the scheme materialises It will be possible to provide two courts and tho game will be played under perfect conditions.

It is also likely, that in the event of the K.C.C. giving approval to the pro- ject, the llangkong Badminton As cation will be invited to participate ing fund and thereby enjoying the by making contributions to the build- privilege of sharing the courts with the club.
