    playing further following a protest by C.I.S.C.) – cf. "L'Imparziale", 7 Feb 1914, p. 2:
    "La squadra dell'A.E.A.S.I. in segno di protesta contro la squalifica del giuocatore
     Osman inflitta dall'U.I.S.S.E. ha dichiarato forfait non solo per il match di domani,
     ma per tutti gli altri incontri di campionato già sostenuti.".

of 9-10 February; it was refereed by a member of A.E.A.S.I.):
