OLYMPIAD

(Continued from Page 1

The Chinese team was definitely eliminated from the Olympic bas- ketball competition yesterday when they lost their watch against Brazil in the consolation round by

a score of 32 to 14.

The outstanding player of the match was the Brazilian Albano, who alone scored 18 points for his side.

The defeat of the Chinese play- ers came rather unexpectdly, al- though the Brazilians had already Ishown during their previous mat- iches that they were an extremely

strong team.

As in their other

matches the Chinese were pursued | by ill-luck, since the ball often failed to enter the basket by the The Bra- narrowest of margins.

zilians, however, were clearly the, faster team yesterday, although the Chinese played an excellent; game in the centre of the field.
