WRESTLING SEASON
STRONG TEAM THIS YEAR A strong team generally speaking will be working under contract to the Dominion Wrestling Union this year. To Am-k landers, particularly, the inclusion of " Ken Kenneth, tho local heavy-weight, will be welcome, but it is interesting that yet another >.ew ZeaInnder is among the fir*l five announced. Ho is Fred Atkins, who has been wrestling for the past seven years under contract to Stadiums Limited, Sydney, and who is generally regarded as an Australian. Nevertheless he' was horn and educated on the West Coast of the South Island. The other three are all well-knowrt here—Pat Meehan. Jagot Singh and Joe Corhett. If is Corbett who has been selected to' meet Ken Kenneth in the opening match on Monday, and. if they give as good a display here as they did in their drawn match in Sydney, they will set the season off to an excellent start.
