The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-08-09

The outbreak, second serious one of the games, climaxed bitter water polo match between the Brazilian and German teams.
 The game was scarcely one mif- ute old before the Brazilians be- gan to object to decisions by Bola Komjati, Hungarian referee.
 Spectators sided with the South Americans and repeatedly booed the referee. They howled down pleas by the official announcer to Remember that both these play CTS and the referee are our guests.
 The players protests became louder. The booing increased.
 At last the final whistle was blown.
 Three Brazilians, including har- rel-chester goalie. l.. Da Silva, made for the referee.
 The crowd was in an uproar. Screams of the announcer begging for order were lost in the booing.
 Three BraziIians. dripping with water, reached Komjati. Before stadium attendants could come to his aid. he had taken a couple on the chin.
 President Struck
 The Los Angeles police depart ment, represented by 10 of its stur diest, went into action. So did Leo Donath. president of the Hungarian Polo association. Before police es- tablished his identity, he also re- ceived a couple of blows.
 A meeting of the International Swimming Federation was called immediately. An hours delibera- tion brought disqualification of the Brazilian team of II men.
 The following statement was is- sued: M
 "The entire Brazil water polo team has been disqualified from further competition in the Olympic games, and in case Da Silvia, Blanco or Serpa (charged with in- stigating the attack) are entered in the swimming events, they will not be allowed to compete. Further action may be taken"
