The success of the Aiglons ( " young eagle " ) of the Côte d' Azur was less despite his commitment to the critically acclaimed Argentine center-forward Rubén Bravo rather average -scoring attack, but rather due to his good defense, which suffered the fewest goals in the league. Lens as stubborn competitor was home from only three points, but was away too vulnerable. In the mid-table made ​​especially cutting two teams with highly contrasting requirements for attention. The newly ascended "workers footballers" Sedan - Torcy, who had assumed the first place in 1953 professional status and almost completely going about its players a full-time livelihood, thereby distancing the "big Reims " at the end of two meters and also won this season the cup competition.
