at Misery, a circumstance resented
by the coy.boys,. who believed the
place should be as Important to all

their contempt for this a1oof be-

came through the fence and raced

Push Hard with Straight Arms

BY px. E. D. ANGEL

You've got to have speed for the handspring, Beppo told the boys, especially at first. After you get It in good style you can do handspring from standing position but it IS easier if you take a little run-or rather quick step or two toward the mat.
 Nov, there is another point that you must keep clearly in mind and that IS the position of your body. You have been doing tricks based on the roll- over, with the body curled up, but in the handspring you must keep the body rigid--for all of your body must clear the mat"
 As Beppo concluded his explanation he took two or three quick steps on the mat; when his right foot was advanced he bent forward and touched the palms of both hands to the mat as his legs shot up. There was not the slightest pause for his body was pushed vigor- ously in the air and his hands left the mat an instant before his feet touched He did not land on the mat with q dull. heavy thud, but as light as | feather and his legs and body were perfectly straight.
 They found that they could get ovel an right and land on their feet bu

each time they tried they would fail on their backs. As Allen fell back Beppo noticed that he half turned and put his hand down to break the fall and the little clown seemed very angry about 1t and told them that they must not try to save themselves by putting their hands back on the mat as that was very easy way to break an arm or sprain wrist.
 What will we do if we can't do that?' asked Allen. Watch me and you will sec" replied Beppo and he did a handspring. As his feet touched he fell back in imitation of the boys but instead of putting hand back to save himself he came quickly to sitting position--then on his back and contin- ued rolling backward all curled Up until his feet touched the mat.
