Guaiba, 7th of April 1992. Rainy Tuesday !! 

Well friends,
	 Inter (Internacional of Porto Alegre) lost again. Once again, refe-
reeing played a big part on the outcome. The team played without 4 of its 
starters, took in a goal from a foul shot during the first half, and spent 
practically whole game in the adversary's side of the field. Also kicked 6 
shots on the crossbars, missed several headers, and failed to convert a number
of other opportunities. Well, anyways, this Sunday it's Inter vs Atletico/PR,
at the Beira-Rio. What's left now are 3 games at home, and 4 away. We need
7 points to be amongst the final 8 that qualify for the next round. I think
we'll make it !!


Results from the 12th round follow:

Cruzeiro      0 x 2 Sao Paulo
Paysandu      0 x 2 Botafogo - RJ

	 The Correio do Povo reported today that midfielder Gerson (Inter) is
seriously ill. It said that Gerson has undergone 2 examinations in Brazil and
one in France. Inter has pledged to pay for all necessary treatments, including
psychological. Nobody is saying much about what the desease is but it is widely
speculated that it is AIDS. A real shame !!
