Taiwan team refused visas
(N.Z.P A.-Reuter—Copyright) HONG KONG, August 17. The Hong Kong Government has barred Taiwan’s leading girls basketball team, Luk Yung, from playing a series of exhibition matches. The Government has denied that the ban is to prevent possible political incidents occurring during the Chinese table tennis team's visit to the colony, which ended yesterday. However, the move has puzzled sports fans because there are two Taiwanese soccer teams and a judo team now in the colony.
