WILDING SHIELD
Wellington v. Canty (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON. Wellington has drawn tile strong Canterbury side in the semi-finals of the Wilding Shield men’s interprovincial tennis competition at Central Park on Saturday. Wellington is the titleholder, but Canterbury has a side full of seasoned, experienced players, all capable of upsetting the home * side. The winner of the match will meet the other successful semi-finalist, Auckland or Hutt Valley, in the final on Sunday. Canterbury, holder of the women’s Nunneley Casket, will have a difficult job on Saturday when it meets Hutt Valley. Waikato, which eliminated the strong Auckland team, will play Southland. Boxing.—Valery Popenchenko, one of Russia's best-known middle-weight boxers, and a gold medallist at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, was killed last Friday in a fall from a staircase, Russian sports officials said. He was aged 37.
