Final round
There was controversy surrounding the Milan derby between Rossoneri and Inter. Diavoli wanted to use a foreign player, Sandor Ott, who in accordance accordance with international regulations was considered an assimilated foreigner, as he had played in Italy for five years, but the federation did not agree, confirming that there were two foreigners allowed in the championship, and that Rossoneri had indicated they were Jerry Rowse and Doug Brooks. Rossoneri accused president Enrico Calcaterra of siding with Milan, his home team when he played, and asked for an extraordinary meeting. Calcaterra resigned and the championship went on. As a precaution, Diavoli decided not to use Ott, although the player was on the bench for the game. The game was won by Inter 2-0 with goals in the first period by Giancarlo Agazzi and and in the final segment by Enrico Canapini.
Inter Milan then defeated Auronzo and Asiago to win the championship with 19 goals for and only two against. Diavoli finished second after dispatching their remaining opponents.
