Show PLANE DROPS BALL A novel kickoff was witnessed at an international football match which took place in Vienna Vi-enna recently between Austria and Hungary. Both teams were lined up, ready for the start, but it was noticed they had no ball. An airplane, however, suddenly appeared ap-peared on the horizon, hovered over the playing field for a short time, and then, to the huge delight de-light of some 50,000 onlookers', slowly glided down until it was 50 feet above the center. Then the pilot dropped a football, and as soon as the ball touched the ground the referee's whistle sounded and the match was on. Having got rid of its bomb, the airplane mounted again and made off amid the cheers and laughter of the crowd. |
