SPORTS, NOISES, AND FILMS
Three New Quiz Sessions At 3ZB
HRISTCHURCH sportsmen, and Rugby followers in particular, were well represented at the opening broadcast recently from a large city store of the 3ZB Sports Quiz. In this session, questions relating to some nominated branch of sport are sent in by the public, and competitors chosen from players prominent in that particular sport are invited to face the microphone and test their knowledge under the critical quizzing of "The Rep," 3ZB’s new sporting personality who is in charge of the session. At the first broadcast even such an experienced player as J. Rankin was hard put to it tc answer some of the knotty Rugby problems tossed at him. It is intended that every branch of active sport, from wrestling to table tennis, will be dealt with in turn, Friday night at 7.45 o'clock is the time, In another quiz session recently started over 3ZB, listeners are required to identify a series of strange noises, varying from a key being rattled in a keyhole to milk being poured out of a jug. The response by listeners has been startling. According to the rules of the session, competitors must bring their list of answers to a city store, where a prize of one guinea is awarded for the first correct list, with a sixpenny block of
chocolate for every other competitor with a correct list. What’s That Noise? is broadcast at 3.15 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Yet another new quiz is the Movie Quiz, broadcast by 3ZB at 3.30 every Monduy afternoon. Questions relating to every aspect of the film industry are asked, and there are prizes of free theatre seats.»
