The debut of the current "national sport" at the Olympic Games unfortunately went badly. It is a great pity that stars of the likes of Andrade, Nasazzi or Petrone were not available to our Olympic team headed by coach Adam Obrubanski. The Poles performed as follows: Mieczysław Wiśniewski (Wisła Kraków), Wawrzyniec Cyl (ŁKS), Stefan Fryc, Zdzisław Styczeń, Stanisław Cikowski (all Cracovia), Marian Spojda (Warta Poznań), Wacław Kuchar, Mieczysław Batsch (both Pogoń Lwów), Józef Kałuża (Cracovia), Henryk Reyman (Wisław Kraków and Leon Sperling (Cracovia). Unfortunately, the first match turned out to be the latter. The Poles succumbed to the Hungarians as much as 5:0!
