"A pretty little scene before the match came as quite a novelty in English
football. Three dainty ladies dressed in French national costume, with black
velvet coats, red, white and blue sashes and picturesque white headgear,
were escorted to the centre circle where the captains were about to toss for
choice of ends. Goodall and Delfour each received a bouquet of flowers and
were saluted by each of the ladies with a kiss on each cheek. This is a
custom always observed in France in an important match."

Match Report |
England beat France on
the Tottenham Hotspur ground yesterday by four goals to one. The last
time France appeared in an international match in this country was in
1910, when an amateur team beat them by 10 goals to one. French football
has, of course, made enormous strides since then, but it would be
hypocritical to pretend that they ever looked the equals of the English
team yesterday...
The first goal came after one of the Frenchmen had failed
to trap a goal-kick by Hibbs. The ball went on to Camsell, who ran
straight through the defence and drove in a terrific shot to the top
left-hand corner of the net. Ten minutes later Brook took a free-kick
just outside the penalty area, and shot so hard that the ball rebounded
from the net back on to the field. More remarkable than the strength of
the shot, however, was the convenient way in which the French players
left the way to the goal open...
A passing movement
led to Camsell and Crooks changing places, and Camsell, from the corner
flag, scored an extraordinary goal, the ball swerving on to the crossbar
and dropping over the line...
England, however,
went further ahead when a pass from Hall to Brook and a perfect centre
led to Grosvenor heading through. France went on trying hard, and the
goal they scored 15 minutes from the end was a proper reward for their
pertinacity, but the sad truth is that, as a team, they were outclassed
and outplayed. - The Times -
Thursday
7th December, 1933
"Another noticeable feature in the French game was a tendency to
jump with hands uplifted, and when one defender came down and his
elbow struck an opponent the Belgium referee gave a free-kick from
which Brook, with a splendid left foot shot, sent the ball into the
corner of the goal."
IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 5 December 1933 that the 21st Amendment to the United States
Constitution ended almost 14 years of alcohol prohibition. Black-market
gangsters had profited greatly from the sale of illegal alcohol during
the period.
