URUGUAY-ARGENTINE MATCH IN MONTEVIDEO STADIUM,

It does not often happen that keen football enthusiasts in Europe have an opportunity to see the famous Uruguay and Argentine teams. The play of these South-Americans is shown to full advantage when theso two teama are playing together.

In July last there a championship match was played by these two teams in Montevideo. The stadium, which can seat 86,000 people, was! totally sold out. The match was followed with keen interest and won! by Uruguay.

Before the match and during the interval the crowd was entertained by music of a Philips "Volce of the Giant" Installation. The loud. speakers were installed on the "tower of honour" of the stadium. The reproduction given by this installation was highly appreciated by both Press and public. The CX6 transmitter in Montevideo broad- casted a report of this important match. Copyright 1080.
