team notes: |
Political differences between the Croats and the Serbs have spread to
sport, and the Croat Football Association on 17 May, had ordered all
players under its jurisdiction not to play in international matches.
This meant that goalkeeper, Građanski Glaser,
and full-back Joza Matošić, cannot play. |

Match Report |
BELGRADE, May 18.--The inability to overcome the handicap of playing
in a sweltering heat and oppressive atmosphere, which severely taxed
their physical resources, coupled with an early injury to their left
back and captain, Hapgood, was mainly responsible for the English F.A.
team losing to Yugoslavia by two goals to one on the Belgrade Sport
Club's ground this evening.
Yugoslavia, whom the critics
considered played better football than they had ever done before, thus
had the distinction of beating England in the furst international
match between the two countries. The injury to Hapgood undoubtedly
weakened the defence, but England had only themselves to blame for
their defeat.
The English forwards had enough chances of
winning the match but they were frittered away. They were inclined to
overdo their movements and delayed their shooting, which was fatal
against the quick-tackling Yugoslav defenders...
It was
Glishovitch
[Glišović]
who, after spoiling a chance of scoring through getting offside, gave
Yugoslavia the lead after 16 minutes' play. From a mêlée in the
English goalmouth the ball went out to him and he gave Woodley no
chance with a good drive. Hapgood was apparently injured during the
scramble, for afterwards he limped badly, although he was able to
continue...
England attacked in the second half, and within
five minutes Broome, gathering a pass from Goulden, drove home a fine
shot to equalize...
After 18 minutes of the second half
Perlitch
[Perlić]
got away on the left. In a fine run he carried the ball down, cut in
past Male, who was caught out of position, and drove past Woodley for
Yugoslavia's second goal.--Reuter.

France beat Belgium, 3-1 in Brussels.
IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 18 May 1939 that a 29-year-old labourer, George Willis, was
acquitted of the murder of 85-year-old Frederick Paul.
The old man had been shot and then his body dragged into a pond.
Circumstantial evidence convinced the police that Willis was the
murderer, and that robbery was his motive, but after an elaborate
demonstration at Reading Assizes of Willis using a pair of tweezers that
Paul's son had said belonged to his father, to extract screws from a
watch, was enough to convince the jury that he was not guilty.
