Of the match was the startling defensive
work of Morgan Belmont at back for
the Americans. Though. like Hartman,
only a four goal man, Belmont played
about three goals beyond his rating.
In the second half especially he was on
the advancing Argentlnians like hawk.
Many were the we'll directed hits which
Belmont interrupted and shot out TO
Stevenson who brought them down to
the hard hitting Rumsey.
