WRESTLING WOODS AND CATALINO DRAW IN EAST BOUT There was a good, attendance at the Taihape Town Hall on Thursday, when the Rangitikei Wrestling Association staged a bout between Tony Catalino and Johnny Woods. The contest went the full eight rounds, and resulted Jn a draw, each wrestler securing a fall. In parts the bc-ut was very colourful, both men showing that they had a good knowledge of modern wrestling. The Spaniard secured his fall in the fourth session with a body press after he had tossed Woods with a reverse headlock. The score was evened in the next round when the referee awarded the Californian a penally fall when the Bacelonian persisted in .a -hold which seriously interfered with Woods’ breathing. The main bout was preceded by five amateur contests, the most willing of which was for the championship of Pukeokahu, between Boy Tahu and Jack Cooper. Eac-ih man gained a fall, and the title has not yet been won. The bout between Neill Pc-well and Ossie Partridge provided bright enter-, tainment, the decision going to Powell on points. Powell assumed the aggressive practically throughout and deserved his win. • The Mam Event.
