On Monday noon Julius Kühn and Kai Häfner arrived as substitutes at the team hotel the Germans and played against Denmark: they exerted themselves to, they did little wrong, they showed no fear. Häfner had scored three goals at the end, Kühn important results for 22:23 (53 minutes). Thus the Gummersbacher and Hanover had done what all other players had also done in the field:.
