Special events
This " final of the pillow ", about the Gabriel Hanot wrote in Miroir des sports, it was " the most remarkable and brilliant for years," was in the last minutes of the game just before the crash. Several players of FC Metz beleaguered referees and linesmen because they had not seen the decisive ball Aznar, but over the goal line. From the stands it was raining red seat cushions, because many viewers - Trailer of Lorraine and neutral observers - shared this opinion and sometimes violently protested. After a long break the encounter was but brought to an end and the Cup of President Albert Lebrun, itself born in Lorraine, will be presented.
