Tournament course

In the preliminary round, all four teams from North and West Germany prevailed against the competition from the other regional associations. The subsequent draw resulted in semi-finals between the North German and West German teams, so that there were new editions of the matches at the respective regional championships.

The regionally victorious teams from Hamburg and Mülheim prevailed again, albeit tightly and happily. The SV Police Hamburg was able to keep the game against the defending champion in Kiel open in front of 10,000 spectators, at halftime Kiel was only 5: 4. The Kiel team failed to score in the second section, while the Hamburg team was able to rely on their most dangerous attacker Otto Maychrzak in the crucial last ten minutes , who first scored a field goal and then safely converted a free throw to 5: 6. The Mülheim lawn athletes made it to the finals even happier: Rheinhausen led 4-0 in the first half in front of 15,000 spectators, but could not prevent the Mülheimers from catching up, but their victory, at the end of the second extra time it was still 6: 6 . Only in the replay in front of 20,000 spectators on the following weekend was Mülheim able to win, but again needed two extensions of the regular playing time until the 8: 6 win.

In the final in front of their own audience, the Hamburg police club was able to make the game even up into overtime after goals, but finally had to acknowledge the playful and combative superiority of the Mülheimers at the 6: 7 final score.
