‘The Cup Final Grasshoppers-Servette drawn’, can still be read on Paul Klee’s picture ‘Alphabet 1’, and ‘National-Zeitung’. This is the match of 18 April 1938, in which the striker Walacek misses out on making the Swiss national football team (for the time being). He will not be playing in the international match against Portugal in May 1938. Orelli starts his research from here, spinning the memory thread backwards.
