Gotch Gets Grapevine and Head Lock.

champion the grapevine hold
deserves special mention. Gotch
has pinned few dangerous opponents
with this hold for deciding falls. but
it Is among the foremost of the SUBJ

ing up to the effective combinations
with which he wins the majority of
his hard matches. The Hghtning-like
rapidity with which the champion
shifts from one hold to another be-
wilders his less alert opponents and
enables him to trick them into dan
gerous positions.
The grapevine as used by Gotch is
one of his famous shifts whereby he
secures his half nelson and crotch and
with such precision that it has caused
the downfall of some of the greatest
wrestlers in the world.
Gotch makes the grapevine shift

like a contented, lady-like sigh.

indicated that it was five minutes to

She's using her wireless phone for a
long message. Something wrong,

The dispatcher sprang to the glass
cabinet, where the leaping signal rays
had spelled out the news of the COM

and thrust his head into the rubber
protected glass receiving hood. Two
minutes later he stepped out and
shook his head.

MODERN DAIRY BARN

The place Of the dairy herd on the

an experiment which is being made
by the Texas experiment station at
the feeding and breeding station To-
Gated at the A. & NJ. College. The
construction OF a modern dairy barn
has about been completed and Di'
rector Youngblood viii maintain a
model dairy herd on the farm. The
skim milk will be fed to chickens and
hogs in experiment tests, the manure
will be used in fertilization investiga
lions. The cream will be sold to the
college creamery.
The barn as planned by Mr.. Young
