Auditor Won’T

Sign

Guadacanal Club Has Troubles

WHEN the Guadalcanal Club met at its annual general meeting in Honiara, BSIP, on January 27, the auditor refused to sign the balance sheet for the second year in succession.

The incoming committee subse quently voted to put the matter of an £l,BOO deficit for 1954 in police hands.

The incom ing Committee is expected to put affairs on a better footing, tl A 1 Lolotai, a Samoan, won the professional wrestling championship of Hawaii in the heavyweight class and also a golden belt, awarded to him by Ring Magazine. Lolotai, weighing 230 pounds, defeated Bollas, a 240-pound opponent in a battle that lasted 61 minutes before a decision was reached. Lolotai gained the only fall of the match.
