team notes:

It was decided on 17 April that the team that beat Scotland on 5 April is the team to face Germany and Austria.
The injury to Marsden that prevented him from playing in the second half is more serious than at first thought. He has been admitted to hospital suffering from concussion of the brain, as well as suffering an injury to his spinal column.

    Match Report

BERLIN, MAY 11

The Association football match between England and Germany at the Deutsches Stadium here yesterday ended in a draw, each side scoring three goals. It was an excellent, clean game, the result being in doubt till the last. Most unfortunately Marsden, the English left-half was severely hurt, apparently in a collision with one of the English backs, early in the game. He played on, but at half-time was unfit to continue. He was taken to hospital, and the German Football Association is seeing to it that he has the best care and treatment. The nature of his injury is not clear, but it is understood that the doctors are satisfied with his condition.

Every inch of the Stadium was packed with people. The last Anglo-German match, played in 1913, ended in a draw. Yesterday's game, however, was the first in which 11 of England's best had met a German team, and, football having taken a firm hold of the German imagination, it was the biggest sporting event of its kind for years. The English team took the offensive and held it until half-time. In the eighth minute Watson cleverly took the ball past several defenders and passed near the goal mouth to his inside-left, Bradford, who shot straight and true...

After 20 minutes the German forward line broke away and their inside-left, Hoffmann, of Dresden, who scored all their three goals, equalized with a delightful shot. England continued to dominate the game, missing shots at goal, until Bradford again scored with a low, fast shot from 20 yards out, the best shot in the game...

The absence of Marsden had thrown the English defence out of balance, and before it had adjusted itself the Germans had drawn ahead. Hoffmann scored from a centre and again from a pass from the centre half-back, Leinberger, who ran the ball through the defence until he was in a good position. Both shots were swift, and Hibbs had little chance to stop them. With half an hour to go Germany led by three goals to two...

Jack, at inside-right, maintained the attack at high pressure, and 12 minutes before the end equalized after some fine passing in which the English forward line moved down the field with the ball. As he approached the goal Jack passed out to Crooks, on the right wing, ran past the German left back, and received the ball back again from Crooks in the ideal position for heading into the net--a delightful goal. And that was the end...

Last night the representatives of the Football Association were the guests at a dinner given by the German Football Association. Three members of the teams which met in the first Anglo-German match 31 years ago were present; J. Bache, who then played for England and is now the trainer of the Mannheim Club, and Dr. L. Schricker and another member of the then German side. - The Times - Monday 12th May, 1930

IN OTHER NEWS...

It was on 9 May 1930 that the Grayson County Courthouse at Sherman in Texas was burned to the ground by an angry mob trying to get at George Hughes, an African-American farmhand accused of assaulting his employer's wife. The mob prevented firefighters from tackling the blaze by cutting their hoses. Hughes died in the fire and his badly-burned body was taken out and tied to a car to be dragged through the streets into the segregated business area, where shops, a hotel and homes used by black people, were looted and burned, and Hughes's body was strung up. The town was placed under martial law for the next two weeks, but only one of the ring-leaders went to prison for the racially-motivated violence.
