Game Of Tour

Viennese Defeated At Soccer

Berlin, May 15,

The Aston Villa Club of Birming- ham, which accepted the invitation to play a series of matches against the German football teams, defeated the Viennese representatives by 3 to 2 goals in the presence of n crowd of 100,000 spectators at the Olympic Stadium here yesterday,

The victory of the British players physical was due to their better condition and superior tactics. The first goal was shot by Aston Villa's outside right, Broome, in the seventh minute. Shortly before the interval, the Viennese centre-forward equalis- ed.

After the interval the Austrians' tools the offensive, but an excellent defensive combination play of the Britons frustrated all thole attacks. The failure of their best efforts, com- bined with terrine heat and physical strain, apparently undermined the morale of the Viennese players ably weaker so that the Britishers were enabled to score twice in succession, giving Aston Villa three to one lend.
