The Cameroonian minister for sport and youth, Joseph Owona, visited the "Invincible Lions" of CAMEROON (Group B) at their hotel hotel near TOULOUSE yesterday. He promised them a surprise before their match tonight against AUSTRIA. Only two of the players from this African team play their club football in the first division of the Cameroonian championship : Pierre NJANKA (6), of Olympique Mvolyé Yaoundé, and Joseph Cyrille NDO (15) of Coton Sport Garoua. The Invincible Lions' coach, Claude LEROY, sent a message of encouragement to his opposite number Henri MICHEL, coach to the "Lions of the Atlas", MOROCCO, just before the latter's Group A match against NORWAY in MONTPELLIER, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
