WRESTLING BROADCASTS
Sir,-It appears that again this winter we are to be afflicted with wrestling commentaries over the National stations. With evening programmes restricted as they are at present, it does tot seem right that wrestlers should benefit by half-hour periods of free advertising nearly every night of the week. If they are so fond of radio publicity let them go to the Commercial stations-and pay for it. Surely the YA stations do not want to lower their standards by broadcasting such cheap and vulgar entertainment. It is amazing how many people are duped by this so-called sport. The sporting instincts of many must be somewhat depraved if they can find satisfaction in watching exhibitions of hair-pulling, elbow-jolting, nose-biting, stomachpunching, face-kicking,. head-banging, 1eferee-bashine, ete. Why should radio listeners in New Zealand have to tol-
erate this?
