FRACAS AFTER FOOTBALL
RIOTING AT NAIROBI GUARDS FIRE ON ERITREANS LONDON, Nov. 18. (Received Nov. 19, at 10.30 p.m.) The Times Nairobi correspondent says a riot originated through fisticuffs between two opposing players during a football match, African Rifles versus Italian deserters. The referee stopped the game and a general fracas followed, the Eritrean spectators seizing firewood and attacking the military players and spectators. Then the guards fired on them and in 30 seconds quelled the trouble.
