Pugilism Started in 900 B. c.;
Euery Fight Ended in Casually

This bird Theagenes came from
Thasos, Greece, and won something
like 1927 fights-everyone to finish.
In those days finish" meant the need
of an undertaken for the vanquished
warrior.
Cestus is Used
For in that era of the history of
Greece, where fighting with the hands
is supposed to have originated, lar
ripping contest always featured the
athlete carnival in the Pancratium.
The festivities would start with a long
series of elimination bouts and be
climaXed by a battle between champi-
on and the ceStuS was used.
The cestus was nothing more nor
less than a pair of gloves, which fitted
over the hands-and from the knuck-
lie part of the fingers protruded sharp
and murderous spikes.
The boys would set their little
selves down, usually on a flat faced
rock. They'd be so close to each
other that their knees would interlace
and their noses would be within an
| inch or two of the humping mark.
Time would be called and then the
fun" began.
Few Blows sufficed
| Ponderous fists would drive huge
and cleaning spikes into the face and
/ the head of a foeman Sometimes the
man, lighting fast with his hands and
with terrific power in his hands and
arms, as was Theagenes, could win a
| fight with one or two blows.
Like a lightning flash, the spiked
fists of Theagnes would dart forward
and striking their target, perhaps
would pierce the skull of the other
man before he even could lift his
arms. He would sway, perhaps top
pie slightly-and then a few more
blows to the temple, or back of the
ears-and then the Highland another
life-would be over.
Thesus, whose dad was King Aegus
/ of Greece, is presumed to be the cote
who originated that form of fighting
| far back in 900 B. G. 1t was private
stuff for a while, inasmuch as even the
| hardest Greeks in those days weren't
very keen about it. But about 50t
B. c. when a new and more blood
1 thirsty breed of Greeks had come into

into the Olympic games. 1t went

Quoted with bare fists.
But as a sort of sop to the extreme
ly blood thirsty for having rulet

English pugilistic powers permittet
the boys to kick, gouge and bite a

satisfying.

By FRANK G. MENKE

It is sometimes regrettable that the
rules of pugilism have been slightly
altered with years since the game be-
gan.
If the old regulations, which called
for battling with glove-spiked bands
to an absolute finish still prevails,
sportdom would be spared views of
bozos who make living under false
pretence of being fighters.
Often there's wonderInent as to
what fighters of today-those bold,
fearless, "I'll fight anybody-in-the-
world" fellows-would do if they sud-
denly were challenged by Theagenes

Many farm tools and machinery
rust and rot out rather than wear out,
| according to farm mechanics men at
the state college of agriculture at
Ithaca. The best way to prevent this
depreciation, which, unlike wear, goes
on both winter and summer If the
tools are exposed, is to use paint and
grease to save the cost of new tools
or pnrts in the .'pring. A little paint
on wooden parts prevents wTping,
checking, and rotting, oil on wearing
surfaces of cultivator. moving ma
chine. or binder. and common axle
