Rush, of Blenheim, competing in the heavyweight class, collapsed during an interval in a bout with R. Nicol, of Southland, and was carried from the ring unconscious. He was admitted to hospital, and underwent an operation, but succumbed to-day. The bout was not strenuous, and Rush did not appear to receive a blow to cause any serious injury to the head which would account for his collapse.
