Vienna, Nov. 14.-Hundreds of police had to be called to clear the field near the end of the international soccer match here today in which Austria beat Sweden 2-1, when a large number of the crowd of G0,000 invaded the pitch: after Sweden had scored from a penalty.
Austria were leading 2-0 when the penalty was award- ed three minutes before the final whistle. Gunnar Green scored for Sweden from the spot to reduce the arrears and ̧.· a large number of Austrians, who apparently considered. the penalty unjust, rushed on to the field to demonstrate.
