ENGLISH TEAM IN BERLIN
SEQUEL TO MISUNDERSTANDING (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) Berlin; May ie. (Received May 16, at 5.5 p.m.) Aston Villa, after defeating Austria by 3 goals to 2, left the Olympic Stadium without exchanging, through a misunderstanding, the customary salute with the opposing team.

The tackling also led to unpleasantness, an Austrian once retaliating.
