We hope and expect to achieve good attendances for the participating nations,” said OC President Franz Beckenbauer.   The games referred to are Argentina-Tunisia in Cologne, Japan-Mexico in Hanover, Australia-Argentina in Nuremberg, Greece-Japan in Frankfurt, Australia-Tunisia in Leipzig and Greece-Mexico in Frankfurt. Horst R.
