Varga Beats Blake in Slow Wrestling Bout
Per Press Association NEW PLYBOTJTH, Last Night
Count Varga (.14.8) beat Whiskers Blake (15) in an uninspiring match by two falls to one. Varga adopted a policy of masterly inactivity, defying the more active Blake to shift him, but he emerged twice to do a little damage with headldcks. Because of Varga's stolidity it ,was the least exciting bout New Plymouth has seen for many years. There was a. lot of wrestling however, but almost no showmanship.
