Match Report |
BRUSSELS, May 16.--England to-day beat Belgium by four goals to one.
Belgium were the first to score, but Houghton scored from a penalty
kick just before half-time, and Burgess (two) and Roberts scored in
the second half. The game was played at the Daring Stadium. The play
of the English team was disappointing in the first half, but improved
after the interval...
Belgium took the lead after 40 min.
Versyp, the outside-right, got the ball and ran quickly down the wing.
Strange tackled him, but Versyp passed into Voorhoof, who ran on and
centred to Cappelle, who shot through...
Just before half-time
Moeschal, a Belgian half-back, handled the ball in the penalty area
and Houghton scored.
Clever play by Crooks on the right kept
England on the attack. He got clear away and after a fast run passed
in to Burgess, who scored England's second goal. Burgess scored the
next goal after a tricky dribbling run. England kept up the attack and
Roberts scored the fourth goal from close range...--Reuter. -
The Times - Monday 18th May, 1931
IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 16 May 1931 that
the great physicist, Professor Albert Einstein lectured on his theory of
relativity at Oxford University, in which he presented his intention to
identify the mathematical rules that govern the expansion of the
universe. His theories were held in such high esteem that the blackboard
that he used was taken away and preserved,
complete with his equations.
