Khrushchev warned that it could not be done. After a few months the experiment indeed collapsed.

"Unity cannot be achieved as long as African countries continue subversion...
...first period the first line of Blakey, Ikaunika, and captain Tim Taylor accounted for two more lightening-quick goals. Blakey pounced on a loose puck and drilled it past goalie Mike Hanson at 12:35, and at 12:54 Harry Howell scored on a long slap shot, with assists from Taylor and Ikauniks. Yale scored twice, on a backhand by Bill Hildebrand at 10:30 and a short drive by Frank Bishop...
