FOOTBALL DISPUTE
ITALIANS IN PARIS AN UNSUPPORTED PROTEST PAKIS, Augrust 29: The exigencies of football again upset Italians when a team from Hungary unexpectedly beat them I—o ih the semi-final of the Soccer University games tournament. Italy protested on the grounds that the referee, who was supposed to be a Czechoslovak, was actually a Hungarian.

Italy, therefore, refused to meet Latvia to decide third place and the tournament ended with the placed teams as follows: Germany 1, Hungary 2, and Latvia 3.
