Several Incidents Caused by Ground Conditions:
Game Suspended For Few Minutes Tux went down fighting to a strong Portuguese side in the Semi-final tie of the International Cup played on the Race Course yesterday when they lost by six goals to two.
Portugal gained two early goals against the run of play, but the score atchalf time of five to one in their favour was only what everybody expected, In the second half, which was drab at times compared with the first half, they met a resolute Italian defence and were only able to add one more goal to their score.
The ground conditions were not good, and many incidents resulted from the ground conditions rather than from any desire on the part of the plyers to indulge in rough tactics, and it was rather unfortunate that th right half back of the Italian tet was ordered-off just before the close of the game.
the play was suspended for two or-three minutes in the second half, as the result of comments' which were resented by some of the sup-poPters of the Italian-side, and one pláyer was seen rushing over to the touch-line to deal with the offender.
"Muralore was the star of the front line, and in the first half he shot more than the other four men com-bitied. Carenza at times displayed sotho good ball control but was slow when in possession, thus giving the defence time to get up and cover the way to goal, Pumagalli also put over some good balls, whilst the inside men were inclined to put more effort than was necessary on the ball.
The Portugese middle line was satind, with Silva and Costa putting in a lot of powerful work. The backs were inclined to be erratic. The front line combined well in the first hal, adopting open methods, but in the second half they returned to those tactics which are a feature of the play of Clube Lusitano with the result that the Italian defence were able to hold them constantly in check. Mr. S. E. Burt officiated with two official linesman in support. A crowd estimated at about one thou-sahd were present at the kick-off.
D'Aquino, Costa, Silva, Costa, L. Rozario, S. Sousa, and H Collaco.
