Stanislaus Zbyszko Has Taken Part in Almost a Thousand Bouts Without Defeat

Thursday nights wrestling match between Goho-Gobar, the Hindu wrestler. and Stan zbyszko, present holder of the worlds wrestling title, should be one Of the best bits of sport entertainment served to the fans of Birmingham in a long time. It will be a match of youth against age and experience this time, as the Polish grappler Is a good bit past the 40 year mark while the oriental boy is still young man. These two grap- piers meet at the B. A. c. Thursday night.
 Zbyszko has wrestled over s4O matches without defeat which is probably the most remarkable record that any wrestler ever held, the only man that ever threw the big Polish wrestler was Frank Gotch. who is considered by many to have been the greatest wrestler of all time.
 The big Pole has been wrestling regularly ever since his arrival In this country. and people who saw him when he was young and have also seen him now say that he Is even better than he was as a young man.
 To Have Worthy Foe
 The champion will have a very worthy opponent in both strength and skill. if the reports on Gobar are anything like correct. Gobar Is still very young man. but neverthe- less he has been wrestling for a long time, as he started the game when he was a youth. When he first started he showed remarkable ability and at. tracted the attention of a Hindu mo- bleman, who was very fond of sports. Ia 10 al in tow.
 From time to time he would ar range matches between Gobar and other wrestlers just for the amuse- ment of himself and a few friends. The big Hindu won every one of these matches with very little trouble and there seemed to be no opponent left for him to meet. Then the man who had him in charge sent out challenge to all the other noblemen to send their wrestlers to meet young Gobar.
 Wins Tournament
 This challenge resulted in a big tournament, in which nearly every wrestler in India took part Gobar emerged from the tournament an easy winner, and then determined to come to this country for a crack at the worlds title. Since his arrival here he has not been defeated and Is rcounting on wrestling the crown from the brow of the mighty Zbyszko.
 Aside from the main bout, which will furnish any fan nights enter tainment, there are also some good preliminaries promised and fans should witness the best wrestling program ever put on here.
