Both matmen have well-established reputations, and are noted for their sensational tactics as well as for the successes they have achieved. They can be regarded as typical of the modern school of wrest ling which features brawn, brauis and speed, and their tactics. feature fiving tackles, drop-kicks, flying scissors holds, and other popular manoeuvres. The victories they have achieved over some of the best men in the game prove that they are ot the quality to which New Zealanders have become accustomed m recent years Mclntyre, who was born m Glasgow, but who has spent practically the'whole- of his life in. Missouri is ?>ver 6ft- in height and weighs more than 16 stone. Mead who hails from Los Angeles, is not quite so big, but is a particularly active performer, and the fact that he has drawn with “Strangler” Lewis and Dave Levin two former world champions and has beaten an ex-champion in All Baba, proves his class. He has also beaten Sandor Szabo, the Hungarian champion who drew with Earl McCreadj, in the'latter’s first match on returning to the -States. . q'he following amateur preliminaries have been arranged:—W. Bah.lerstone v. F. Holm. W. Croft v. J. Blanehfie'd. P. Peters v. M. McLean. _
