WRESTLING TO-MORROW
REAPPEARANCE OF KATAN Some of the wrestling matches which have been held in Auckland in recent years will not be forgot for a iontr time, and particularly fresh in the public's mind are the memories of tho hectic clashes last year between Lofty Blomfield (New Zealand champion) and John Katan (Canada). Accordingly, the news that these two are to be matched again in the Auckland ring to-mor-row night, will be welcomed. Katan will always be remembered as the man who combined in large measure the more outstanding qualities of his two countrymen. Earl McCready and Jack Forsgren. He can apply a variety of specialty holds at, the most unexpected moments. Tn Australia he has been tbe lion of the 101 l season, and has drawn huge houses wherever lie has wrestled. Blomfield, however, has beaten Katan before, and has no doubt that he can do it again.
