To prove [2, Theorem 1], it is enough to remark that if x is a point or line of F4 which is fixed under H, then x is fixed under each subgroup of H. By Sylow's theorem, H has a subgroup H’ of order three. By [1, p. 420, Lemma 2.2], it follows that x is in the subplane of F4 generated by those elements of {A, B, C, D} which are fixed under H'. This subplane consists of a point only. Hence, x is in {A, B, C, D}, which is impossible. This argument can be used in many other cases.
