WRESTLING & BOXING

Town Hall Tournament. The wrestling and boxing tournament to be held in the Town Hall tonight is creating much interest among the fans in the district, anti a large attendance is expected. The programme is presented under the auspices of the Waipuku Wrestling Club, whose activities in the two sports have found much favour in sporting circles. The wrestling bouts will be as follows:—A. Moyes v. Anscombe, A. Adams v. C. Webb; C. Moyes v. Ft. Mason; T. McCullum v. M. Prince; E. Erickson v. R. Barnard; R. Moyes v. R. Olson; T. McCullum v. M. Prince; T. Kovaleski v. D. Harris; T. Rowe v. W. Pitcairn; D. Donelly v. H. Stiver; F. Watson v. D. R. McClutchie;, C. Copestake v. L. Steiner; I. McCullum v. J. Lee; P. Roguski v. J. Martin; S. O. Blackhouse v. A. Scott; F. Moyes v. M. Belcher. The boxing matches will provide plenty of inteerst and amusement, as the members of two 10 a-side teams will compete. Bill Pellett’s team, comprising Roguski, Blackhouse, F. Moyes, I. McCullum, Copestake, Watson, Donelly, Erickson, R. Moyes, Adams and A. Moyes meet Jim Bates's team —Webb, Anscombe, Mason, Olsen, Steiver, McClutchie, Steiner, Lee, Martin, Scott and Belcher. These team matches will be a feature of the evening’s programme. Patrons at the Waipuku stadium recently were impressed with the exhibition given by Vestey’s team against Fryday’s in one-minute bouts, and to-night’s contests should prove no less satisfying. Exhibition bouts of boxing by Bill Thompson’s pupils including Loveridge, runner-up to our Olympic representative, will be staged between the wrestling bouts.
