WRESTLER CHALLENGES BOXERS
RED ATKINS of Australia, the professional wrestler now tourF ing New Zealand, came into "The Listener" office the other day and pointed out a passage in "S.B.’s" views on the subject "Do Wrestlers Wrestle?" published in "The Listener" on September 19. "S.B." mentioned that he had discussed his "curious views" (about wrestling) with another sports expert, two newspapermen, and one of New Zealand’s foremost boxers, and that he left Wallie Ingram (Station 2ZB’s sports commentator, to whom he was replying) to guess what the boxer said. Mr. Atkins would like to meet that boxer. In fact, Mr. Atkins would like to meet any boxer or number of boxers who have the mistaken idea that boxing is a superior sport to wrestling. As proof of his earnestness, he has issued a challenge, which is reproduced on this page, and he says that he will be only too glad to assist to settle once and for all whether a boxer can beat a wrestler.
