WRESTLING GIVES MORE
VARIETY THAN BOXING

Contrasted with boxing wrestling has
proved through the last few months that
matches are often won with great
variety OF holds. whereas boxing matches
are generally won by limited number
of well-known punches.
The favorite methods OF attack OF the
different prominent grapplers have be-
come familiar this winter and are be-
ing copied by the amateurs. Perhaps
the combination OF locks that wins the
most matches in a crotch and front
nelson. Every one Of the wrestlers
usually resorts to these tactics wherever
matches are won with holds above the
waist.
George Hackenschmidt. in the last two
months. has been successful in the de-
velopment OF the toe-hold, with Its ex-
treme leverage on the knee and thigh.
Hackenschmidt also employs the ham
merlock freely and is remarkably success
full at it. In some instances, he has
earned falls with a double hammerlock.
and Is also exceptionally strong on the
bar-arms and the arm locks.
Gotch's style has remained substan-
TALLY unchanged. The champion has won
the majority of his matches by his ability
to keep his adversary out of plumb
ing the other fellow so extremely
busy trying TO right himself that he
never gets quite ready to wrestle,
Gotch has maintained his speed and
skill throughout the season. although he
was not In good condition from the wres-
tlng point OF view when he again went
on the mat in January, Working on the
farm was right, so far as keeping the
big wrestler in health and strength went,

OF course many things happen during
