\LLEY AND NARANJAN SINGH WRESTLE TONIGHT GOOD CONTEST EXPECTED : Much controversy has been aroused j in sporting circles regarding the out- j « ome ot' this evening’s wrestling con- i test between Tom Alley and Nar&njan I Singh. Both men are undefeated in j New Zealand, and the relative merits of each have been discussed without any finality being reached about who | is the better of Lite pair. (Treat interest is being taken in the j match and the heavy booking of seats j points to a crowded house. Tom Alley has established himself a great favourite in Auckland, where bis • lever displays of scientific wrestling, J his. agility and general ring demean- j our have given him a warm place m , rim affections of the sporting public. ; The Indian has a host of followers, \ most of whom are confident that he | • an defeat Alley. Xaranjan has been 1 in solid training for the bout, anti ' realises that he will have to put in all he knows to win this contest. During his stay in New Zealand the Indian has not once been pinned in a contest, and it will be interesting to see if Alley* can get a fall. Vance made the Indian submit to a toehold and that is the only fall the dusky gladiator has dropped in New Zealand. Many people are anxious to see Alley get tin* crucifix, his pet hold, just to see if it can be broken, the opinion being that if anybody can j escape from it once it is properly ap- j plied, it is the elusive Indian. Xaranjan also has a few pet holds, and it will be interesting to see how Alley will fare.
