GREECE-USA 8-1: According to a telegram from Brussels, the Greek armed forces team defeated that of the US 8-1 (5-0) in the soccer championship of the inter-allied military forces. As can be seen from the final result, the game was a walkover for the Greek team, which in the first half was ahead by 5-0, and restricted itself to repeating technical feats. The Greek team’s goals were scored by Ioannou in the fourth, 23rd and 32nd minutes, Panakis in the 14th, Nebidis in the 64th and Bebis in the 75th minute. The American goal was scored by Zerhazen in the 81st minute.
