The ground conditions for the final that was played immediately after the Pakistan-Holland bronze medal game, were wretched, but Balbir sent India on their way with a goal early in the match and another just before half-time. Pat Jensen and Trilochan Singh scored one apiece on resumption as Independent India retained their hockey crown. Incidentally, Nandy Singh himself was a late replacement for Reginald Rodrigues who was quarantined on arrival in London due to a throat infection. Rodrigues was also involved in another incident during the ship journey to London. Rodrigues, after being disciplined by manager A.C. Chatterjee, sneaked into the official’s room, took the costly presents and the wallet containing documents and traveller’s cheques, and threw them into the sea. Joint Manager Pankaj Gupta investigated and identified Rodrigues as the culprit.
