In the wrestling struggles Of the long
ago. when the sport had It's real mod
ern beginning, the ordinary attire was
worm but nowadays the wresstlers dl-
vest themselves OF anything in the way
OF superluous weight, or what IL cal
cuated to interfere with the perfect
freedom Of their movements, The an
cient Greeks and Romans, for instance,
wrcstled either IN state OF complete
nudity, or with a strip Of cloth around
the loins Modern wrcstlcrs wear skin
tights on their lower limbs with arms
and torso bare. In Turkey. however
leather drawers are tho rule, aud the
grip may be put upon them, IN swift
zerland, the drawers or the belt may
be grasped IN order 10 Secure hold.
Then, IN the earlier GreCan and Ro-
man contests, the bodies and limbs of
the wrestlers were plentifully anointed
with oil and grease, the object OF this
undoubtedly being TO prevent n hold
being secured 10y an opponent. our
modern articles Of agreement. however,
state explicitly that no oil or grease
shall bo used, and as set-of 10 the
method pursued by the anCiunts, who
rubbed their hands on the sand In the
arena, wrestlors Of today are debarred
from using resin, drug, or any prepara-
ton I'm oder TO increase the tenacty

Again, brutality IL sternly repressed
today Practically any hold or method
OF procedure was allowed In the days
of old. Men might strange gouge, or
snap the limbs of an adversary, pro-
vldcd they hal an opportunity OF doing
so. But In q modern match the stran-
gle hold Is not allowed, neither Is the
full Nelson, or the hang and many re-
ferees even refuse TO allow the arm

No matter what may be said, there

sometimes says:

don't know whether he was n miser

keeping your hands well in front OF

arms or gloves, while you are free to
punch when he let's his hands loose TO
swing. Eddie Hanlon Is this style OF
a fighter and Jimmy Britt is another
example,
A punch to the body Is far more effec-

not land on the point. A man who is hit

I'm not saying that the punch to the
Jaw is not a good blow II is. but you
have a much harder time landing on u
mans head than you have on his body.
A man might waste five or six rounds
without even landing squarely and then

the other man, Again you are taking
great chances with your hands in
punching for the head. Just see how

the man.
Going behind the door and getting
