[2] An episode that is noted in association with the Swiss Cup, was the second-round replay away against FC Lugano on 22 November 1931.
Then, Basel's Alfred Schlecht scored the winning goal early, not even two minutes after the game had started.
However, shortly before the end of the match referee Hans Wüthrich did not blow his whistle and award a penalty after an alleged handball by a Basel player.
It was some eight hours before things were settled enough for the police to able to bring both the referee and the entire Basel team to safety, by ship over Lake Lugano.
[4] Josef Remay had a bleeding head, Hermann Enderlin had a hole above his eye, Leopold Kielholz and goalkeeper Paul Blumer were also hurt.
[5] In their season 1932–33 Basel advanced to the Swiss Cup Final due to a 5–3 win in the semi-final, in which Hufschmid scored the first goal, against Lausanne Sports.
After suffering relegation to the 1st League (second flight of Swiss football) in 1938–39, during the 1941–42 season Basel achieved promotion to the Nationalliga as they beat Bern in the play-offs.
After his playing career the Austrian ex-international Anton Schall, who suffered from a rare heart condition, moved to Switzerland and took over Basel as club trainer for the 1946–47 season.
Schall led Basel to win the Cup, but he died shortly afterwards at the age of 40 years during a workout on the football field.
He scored his sole goal for the Swiss team on 29 October 1933 in the 2–2 draw with Romania during the 1934 FIFA World Cup qualification game.
