WRESTLING
BOUT FOR TO-NIGHT The Canterbury Wrestling Association has been particularly fortunate in securing a match of outstanding appeal for tonight. when the contestants will be Norman "Rusty” Westcoatt. champion of Hawaii, and Frank Judson (Massachusetts). who gave such a fine display in his first match here. Westcoatt. who will be making his first appearance in Christchurch, is the idol of wrestling enthusiasts in his native country, and has everything that is considered necessary to complete the successful modern wrestler. Westcoatt is an outstanding type of athlete and his wrestling is marked by speed, vigour, and aggression, together with the employment of unusual and spectacular manoeuvres. He has no superiors in the use of the popular dropkick, and "his flying tackles and surfboard holds are also worth seeing. Judson will closely resemble Westcoatt in physique, and his mat style is such that there will be much to interest and excite* the spectators when the two men come together.
