Sport of Kings. — College Wrestlers

Sport of Kings.

College Wrestlers

A new club has been formed. Whom does it cater for: All those interested in Running, Football. Hockey, Boxing, Tennis, Rowing—in fact any branch of Athletics.

What is this wonderful Club? Let me tell you, it is a Wrestling Club.

The sport of all the greatest nations of the past. The method by which these two great nations developed the youth of their countries. The oldest athletic sport in the world, modernised, speeded up, and taught: by one whose knowledge and skill is perhaps unrivalled in the world to-day.

This is the chancy you have been waiting for. Develop yourself by wrestling. As an all-round training ground for any branch of athletics, this sport is unrivalled.

In Anton Koolman, Middle-weight Champion of the Southern Hemisphere, the club has secured an instructor whose skill and ability are unquestioned. He had defeated all the leading amateurs of his class before turning professional, whilst as an instructor his success has been amazing. He has at present nearly all the leading amateur wrestlers in Wellington under his charge. It is this man whom the pressmen have described as the sawn off Hercules who will initiate you into the mysteries of the fascinating sport.

Roll up to the Gym. any Wednesday night and find out for yourself.

All information willingly given by F. W. Ongley Hon. Secretary, who will be only too pleased to answer any queries relating to the club.
