WRESTLING CONTEST
Walker’s Bout With Rumberg
Patrons of wrestling were delighted with the display given Ijst Monday by Harry Manios and Hal humberg—it was one of the best exhibitions of honest, clever wrestling seen here for some time. For next Monday the Wellington Wrestling Association has arranged a match which should be equally as good—if not even better —the contestants to be George Walker and Hal Rumberg. It is anticipated that this,match will attract something near a record attendance, and for the occasion the assoe : ation has engaged the Winter Show Stadium. Arrangements also have been made for the match to be broadcast from station 2YA by a special Auckland announcer. Rumberg showed in his disnlav on Monday that he is a wrestler of class —strong, heavy, and yet quick on h's feet and with a wide knowledge of the game. Tt would appear. on paper, that Walker’s only great advantage may be in his long and varied experenco of the ring, for there is no doubt that he is one of the shrewdest as well as one of the most capable wrestlers ever seen in New Zealand.
