A Member of the Italian Olympic Basketball Team Jumps for the Ball. A member of the Italian team jumps for the ball as it narrowly misses his goal after a determined attack by the Iraq team at Harringay this evening. The Italians were the winnners of the match. Harringay Stadium was designed by Dr. Oscar Faber, the Arena was a stark modernist octagonal-shaped building which borrowed heavily from the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. It was erected adjacent to the Harringay Stadium in just eight months between February and October 1936.
