Water polo to Hungary
NZPA-Reuter Montreal Hungary won the Olympic water polo title yesterday and Italy collected the silver after a scrappy play-off match against the Netherlands.
The Hungarians, who had already made sure of the gold metal by beating Rumania 9-8. drew with Yugoslavia 5-5 yesterday. The Italians and the Dutch drew 3-3 in the final match of the tournament, which left both with six points from five games. But Italy won the silver because they scored more goals than their opponents, who had to be content w r ith the bronze.
