+ Meeting reserves were Austrians Hans and Erich Sidlo. One of them joined Denmark's Berthelsen in heat 11 as replacements for Bech and Pander, but Sidlo's point APPEARS to have been credited to the Austrian team!
+ Australian Jack Biggs was listed in the "England" team, but was replaced by Welshman Williams.
