"ENGLAND TROUNCE SWISS TEAM" - Yorkshire Observer

England, with five changes from the team that beat Italy, gave the Swiss 'B' team a football lesson at Bellinzona, yesterday, winning by five goals to none.
The match was a personal triumph for Mortensen, the Blackpool forward, who scored three times and paved the way for a goal by Pearson (Manchester United). The other scorer was Wright, Wolverhampton half-back. The Swiss team's only goal came 7min. from the end.

Although completely outplayed, the home team never gave up trying. Steffen, right full-back who has played with Chelsea, was the pick of the Swiss, whose poor finishing and wild shooting wasted many chances.
England had an early escape when Ashton, under pressure, put the ball just wide of the post with an attempted pass-back to Swift. The first goal came in 21min., when Pearson fed Wright 20yd. out. The half-back's shot looked harmless enough, but it trickled past the Swiss goalkeeper.
Aston, the full-back was injured in a tackle and collapsed, but recovered after attention. England were well on top by this time, and Pearson made an opening for Mortensen, who scored after 43min. Just before half-time Mortensen added a third goal from a pass by Mannion.

In the second half Pearson and Mortensen added further goals, the last being from the best movement of the match. Nicholson, right-half, put the ball through to Mannion, and the inside right flicked it on to Mortensen, who made no mistake.
The Swiss had their reward near the end when outside-left Ballaman beat Swift with a shot that just went under the crossbar. Match attendance was 10,000."
  

A representative English side treated 10,000 enthusiastic Swiss soccer fans to a delightful exhibition of football in beating the Swiss 'B' side by five goals to one in the picturesque stadium in the mountains of Southern Switzerland at Bellinzona yesterday.
Stanley Mortensen, the Blackpool forward, was in brilliant form, scoring three times, and having a hand in the goal scored by Pearson. The other English scorer was Wright. Ballaman scored for the Swiss seven minutes from the end.
In the 30th minute, Mortensen shivered the crossbar with a terrific drive which the Swiss goalkeeper never saw, while eight minutes before Wright netted with aground shot from 30 yards. It was not until two minutes from the interval that the next goal came. Langton put through to Mortensen who, with a first time shot, easily beat Eich. Only a minute later Mortensen again netted with a powerful right foot drive.
It was Mortensen again who made England's fourth goal which came five minutes after the interval. He found Pearson unmarked and the Manchester United forward calmly placed the ball wide of the Swiss goalkeeper. England's fifth goal was the result of a lovely movement initiated by Nicholson. In the 62nd minute he put the ball through to Mannion, who flicked it to Mortensen and the great marksman scored his third goal. The Swiss, although completely outplayed, did not give up trying and they earned their reward when Ballaman beat Swift with a shot that just went under the crossbar."
 

The English part after leaving Turin took the train for Bellinzona, where the match against Switzerland's 'B' eleven took place before a crowd of 14,000.
The game was one-sided from the start, and, except for a few isolated dashes by the Swiss forwards, most of the play took place in the Swiss half. The English team, which included all five reserves, gave a fine demonstration of how football should be played, and won by five goals to one.
