The rough-and-ready Yugoslavs squelched U.S. hopes in the final game when they tied the Americans 5-5 but won the championship because they had outscored their opponents by a wider margin. The U.S. silver was only the country's third medal since a pre-Tarzan Johnny Weissmuller led a U.S. team to a bronze in 1924.
