would make him jump out of the
ring.
Farmer Burns had challenge to
whip any prize fighter in an empty
room. The challenge stood for years
without a taker.
DR.. Roller could whip any fighter
| in the world in a rough and tumble
fight, not because he could box, but
simply because he could wrestle.
Under certain conditions you can
convert an adversary's resistance
| to your own good ends. For instance,
/ suppose you wished to turn him TO
the right force him to the left ana
, he, thinking that you are in earnest,
will resist by exerting his strength
toward his right side. Now your mo-
ment for determined, definite action
has come. Your foe is straining in
the very direction you desire him to
go, SO, swift as a flash of light you
change your tactics and force him
to the right. Your power will thus be
supplemented by his own, IL you are
quick, for he will not have had time
to correct his error. .
Should a man ever fall and lose
his rife, or be partially disabled and
lose it. instead of being at his oppo-
nent's mercy, he is still as danger
Gus as ever, and the system provides
means whereby in an incredibly
short space of time the positions are
reversed by throwing your opponent
to the ground and leaving him de-
fenseless.
The system will give small men
more confidence in themselves to at
tack larger and more powerful men.
Once the small man masters this
system he is no longer despised. He
can then overcome brute force and
physical strength.

'' 'Strangler" Lewis on Tour
May Give ShOW Here

Before you get fresh with q re-
turned soldier find out If he trained
under Billy G. Sandow, manager and
trainer of Ed. Stranger" Lewis,
who is now making q tour of the
country and expects to be in Harris
bur shortly. Sandow and the "Strangz
Ter" put wrestling in the army camps
and what they did not show the
doughboys, is not worth talking of.
For rough and tumblee stuff these
experts took thousands of raw SOL
diers. and made them nifty with the
various throws and jolts, and not
only that but showed them how to
break an enemy's leg, trip him on
the run and a dozen other tricks
which SAVIOR much of the jiu jitsu.
Many of the soldiers found these
stunts useful in closing in on the
demon Hun.
Sandow gives some suggestions
for the wold-be wrestler which are
worth knowing, for instance:
When you have your opponent
! down and are the aggressors keep
him there by means of your Weight.
This will serve the double purpose
of preventing him from changing
his position.
Go through the motions quickly
and with vim, whether on the defen-
sive OR offensive.
When you are the under man,
keep on moving constantly, thus not
only preventing your opponent from
securing q hold, but also enabling
you in the change of position to Sc
cure q good hold on him.
Feature the strangle holds, for an
opponent may be made unconscious
by one of them.
Indulge in rough and unpopular
tactics, such as butting with the
head. Remember when you meet the
Hun nothing is barred. Any hold or
method of procedure is allowed,
strangle, gouge, kick, poke the fin
gers in his eyes or snap his limbs.
You can kill a man with a flying
mare or a strangle hold.
Be as aggressive as possible, then
your opportunities for success will
be increased.
This system of rough and tumble
wrestling is an unsurpassed means
of selfdefense. Get behind your op-
ponent as quickly as possible as it
it is the safest position.
Always watch an opponents feet
as much as possible. You can throw
your man with your feet as easily as
yOu Cdu Will your IldIluS anu dTIlS.
This system of rough and tumble
graphing is not only the most natur-
al method of selfdefense in the world
but by far the most effective.
DIR. b. f. Roller, the famous ply
sician-athlete and former American
champion wrestler, challenged Jess
Willard to go to the gymnasium with
a jury of newspaper men and city
officials and settle for once and all
the question of which is the better
method of selfdefense, boxing or
wrestling.
Willard did not accept the chal-
lene. The whole world must here
after acknowledge that wrestling
and no boxing is. the best means of
selfdefense.
Muldoon, one-time champion
wrestler, who trained Sullivan for
his fight with Mitchell, could handle
Sullivan at will. A mixed match was
proposed between Muldoon and
Mitchell, but Mitchell never accept
ed because he wisely listened to the
experts who told him that Muldoon
