IKE ROBINS MAKES RETURN
VICTORY IN WRESTLING BOUT.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Wellington, Last Night. In a slow-moving and not highly eventful wrestling bout to-night Ike Robin, the heavy Maori wrestler, made a successful “comeback” in a tussle with Peter Limutkin. Robin, who still claims the Australian and New Zealand heavyweight wrestling title, took the ring at 17st 121 b and was heavier by 3st 91b than his opponent. His first fall came in the third round, and he gained the decision in the next when a dislocated thumb made it impossible for Limutkin to continue. The big bout was not tho best of the evening. It was preceded by a fessional contest between Anton Koolman (Wellington) and Len Naylor (Auckland), which was the brightest piece of Wrestling seen here for a long time. Both men wrestled excellently but Koolman Was too clever for Naylor. From the effects of a fall in the third round Koolman was too dazed to continue.
