Eustace-Gobar event will undoubtedly
create more than usual interest
Eustace, who halls from Wakefield, is
always popular before a Kansas gath
ering, and Gobar is a wrestler of real
championship class. The Hindu met
Stranger Lewis at Wichita last fall
and succeeded in pinning the present
champion the first fall with a toe hold.
Lewis secured the second fall and de-
cision by the referee but the popular
newspaper decision gave GObar the
match.
In matching Eustace and Gobar,
Rigby has succeeded in bringing TO
Topeka one of the largest wrestling
bouts ever staged here. Eustace will
have to win over Gobar in order to
remain in the running for champion
ship matches. On the other hand the
Hindu will have to defeat the Kansan
or content himself with wrestling the
lesser lights of the game Because of
the caliber of the two matches and
the local popularity of both Eustace
and Buckley, Rigby is expecting the
event to draw big and announces that
tickets will be available by the last of
the week
