Austria v Germany

UNOFFICIAL Wien-Favoriten) Fritz Dirtl 18 Albin Siegl 15
This was not an official Test Match as the organisers were not prepared to pay an extra fee to the FIM for official approval. The FIM retaliated by not allowing the teams to be billed as Austria and Germany, so it was re-billed as Vienna v Munich - though the two teams were of course full international teams. Leopold Killmeyer 16 Josef Hofmeister ?
Josef Kamper 14 Sebastian Wiesent 12
Josef Chalupa ? Fred Aberl ?
Josef Worschnigg ? Gerhard Hofmeister ?
Franz Aigner ? Fred Hamberger ?
Franz Schenk† (Aut, res) ?
Local reserve Schenk replaced the injured Gerhard Hofmeister in 3 rides in the second half of this Test Match.

1952 Fri 18.07 : Graz Austria 82 Germany 73
This appears to have been a scheduled 24-heat match which was abandoned after 16 heats. Each race
comprised 6 riders, scoring 4-3-2-1-0-0.
Many thanks to Charles McKay who supplied all the details of this match (including the heat
details below) from one of the most confusing, badly-written, poorly filled-in programmes I have
ever seen!
