1956 Japan v USA

Japan v USA - 1956

The USA Olympics Team toured the Far East ahead of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and played two games in Japan, defeating Japan 5-3 in Tokyo and Japan All Kansai 6-0. However the tour didn't seem to do the USA team any good as they were trounced 9-1 by Yugoslavia in their first round match in Melbourne.

The official programme for the game against Japan All Kansai is shown below.
