THE MATCH AGAINST ITALY LONDON, November 14. Continental capitals, from Paris to Belgrade, to-night publish long interviews with local footballers acclaiming Italy’s performance in holding England to a goal on foreign ground, while in Rome itself, now that fever heat lias died down, the result is characterised as defeat with honour. (England won by 3 goals to 2.) The match was more a battle than a game, as the Italians frequently indulged in fisticuffs. England’s captain, Hapgoocl, had his nose broken, while the Italian centre-half, Monti, was crippled and retired a few minutes after the start. Nevertheless, despite the knocks, the teams cheered each other at the finish. Signor Mussolini received regular reports on the state of the game. “ Perhaps it was a little rough on both sides. If England’s players are limping onrs arc mostly in bed,” said the manager (Commendatore Pozzo).
