Orgy Of Hand-Shaking As AMERICANS SCORE SMASHING 86-58 BASKETBALL VICTORY OVER RUSSIANS
But Uruguayans Steal The Show By
Knocking Out The Referee
Helsinki, July 28,
The United States basketball team, sparked by the sterling play of Clyde Lovellette and blg Bob Kurland, scored a smashing victory over the Russlan team, 86-58, in the Olymple Basketball Championships today, but the long awaited duel between the two rivals failed to produce any fireworks and was rather dull after a near riot following the Uruguay-France contest. The United States team was lead- ing 39-22 at halftime,
The irate Uruguayan team completely stole the basketball show when two of their players knocked out the referee, Vincent Farrell, and another, challenging French rooters in the stands, had to be subdued and carried from the court by four policemen. There were' only two minor scuffies in the U.S.-Russian contest before 2,500 spectators who had jammed the tiny
