Can You Beat It?

IT must be eight years ago that Maurice Van Staveren packed his bags and left Wellington to take over the northern branch of Van Staveren Bros., Ltd. He's been m Auckland ever since, and is to-day one of the Queen City's best-known commercial men. Maurice has a sporting record that takes a power of beating. Indeed, few men can boast having been interested m so many branches of sport. He played tennis and

hockey, often

fought a battle m the hempen square, was an excellent swimmer and long-distance diver, and knows more about the mysteries 6f ju-jutsu than most of our wrestlers. But a crocked knee has got him off the athletic field of late years.
