There has always been prejudice
against the nightstick. Magistrates
have been shocked by the appearance
of prisoners who looked as II they had
passed through the feeder of a pulp
mill. But take any of the above men

stick.
1t might Ice we'll for readers of this
article to study these holds and learn
them. If you do this and prove success

the bigger he is the easier you will
handle him and the harder you VIII
throw him. Why not try it?

inside waist hold. Suppose a policeman
walking along his post Is suddenly set
upon by an insane man who grasps him
around the waist. The policeman, IN
order to break the hold of his antag-

seat of the trousers with the right hand
and then pushes the left hand to the
mans face. hooking the thumb under
the nose. The next move is to force his
antagonist backward. which will result
in the hold being broken with ease.

Handle Prisoners Humanely

explained that if "'e admit been so

had always been a pickpocket.
When Iggins was started off to the
station house he put up "A pretty stiff

High School Notes.
(By Thomas r. Wilson,

Saturday afternoon the FL Centre
High School football team won the
county championship by defeating the
Imperial team, 26 to 0. 1t was the
fastest game of football ever played
here. 1t was a hard fought game
from start to finish. The teams were
well matched and showed careful
training in every respect. One Of the
features Of the game, however, was
the fumbling or the part of Imperial.
-Four times they carried the ball far
into FL Centro's territory, only to lose
it On a tumble.
Captain Tilton Of Fl Centre won
the toss and chose to defend the north
goal. FL Centre received the kickoff
and Immediately started to carry the
ball down the field by series of end
runs and line plungcs. They met with
strong resistance on the fve-yard line,
but finally Hobby recovered a tumble
and carried it across for a touchdown.
JiltOn failed to make The kick this
time. After "a short period of play
back and forth the quarter ended with
score El Centre, 6; Imperial, 0.
The second quarter was nearly =
repetition Of the first. Captain Til
ton carried the ball across for touch
down by line plunge. He again
failed to make the kick. The score at
the end Of this quarter was El Centro,
IL; Imperial, 0.
The third quarter was the hardest
Of all, the ball just passing up and
down the field, neither side scoring.
The last quarter was the fastest. In
the first part Tiiton carried the bali
across for touchdown by an end
run. This time he made the kick. The
score now stood: Ell Centre, 10; I'M
perial, 0. Imperial received the kick
off and started for a touchdown. They
reached CentraPs five yard line and
then lost it on tumble. FL Centre
took the ball and Aten received for
ward pass and, having a clear field,
made the fourth and last touchdown.
Tilton made the kick and the game
