More than 70,000 wildly excited Belgian football fans saw their national XI triumph 5-4 over the mighty Hungarians here today after trailing by two goals at half- time.

Hungary led 3-1 after 45 minutes, but they were allowed to score only one more goal in the second half while the Belgians ran riot.

The Finnish team at the Melbourne Olympics will be the best trained sports unit which Finland has ever sent abroad.

Finnish setbacks in the last two Olympic Games meetings in London and Hekinki are believed to have been largely caused by the uneven quality of members' of the team. This year, the Finnish sporting authorities have decreed that every man and woman representing Finland at the Olympic Games must be of top quality and in perfect trim.
