Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989 :A number of sports bodies met in Wellington this week to consider raising funds by starting football pools in New Zealand. However the P.M. is not in favour, and opinion seems to be that the country is already adequately provided with facilities for gambling, so it looks as though "Catch the Kiwi" will become the country's biggiest annual sporting event. 1966.
