Montgomery, who has not been

savage body attack that forced his
lighter opponent to retreat. Costan-

Any one but Costantino might
have been knocked out, especially in
the sixth when Montgomery swarmed
over him driving home lefts and

storm and came back strong in the
last four rounds, actually winning
the ninth and tenth.
Spectators showered the ring with
cigar butts and cigarettes when
Montgomery kept hitting Costantino
after the bell had ended the fourth
round.

Marshall of Washington-and better
gyms We also could stand change
of rules.
I'm the pro game we play three
15-minuGe periods instead of the
colleges two Commute periods.
That's all right because we have
to lengthen our game a little to
combat the colleges double head ers.
The big reason we aren't doing
any better" continued Russell, who
still plays twice a week with the

playing facilities. Then, too, we
should put the emphasis on polished
playing instead of the roughhouse
stuff We feature now.
"All it would take to clean out
the roughhouse boys is for officials
to call fouls more frequently. That
would eliminate the clowns, make
the game faster and cleaner. With
that kind of game and with the
proper promotion, we'd do all right
just as well as the colleges.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-American
soldiers fighting Japs hand to-hand
must be merciless, tough and, above
all-young.
Karl Pojello, 60, Lithuanian born,
who has appeared throughout the
world as a professional wrestler, is
convinced of that today after en-
gaging in bloody, battering, bone
crushing battle with a Jap jiu- jitsu
artisan encounter fought before
selected audience of Is.
Pojello, skilled wrestler, weigh
ing 205, was positive he could make
any jiu-jitsu instructor surrender
by using wrestling tactics. He
knows now that man, skilled in
the defensive science of jiu-j itsu,
can knock out a man with little
jerk in less than two seconds if he
gets hold at the throat. Amer
ican- born Tamura Masato, 80 years
old and weighing only 143 pounds,
did exactly that.
Wrestler Passes Out Early.
Those who watched the match in
a second-foor room of a Loop build
ing included Navy and marine off,
GERS and Avery Brundage, former
president Of the National AAU. One
idea Of the match was to determine
whether men in the service need
more wrestling or jiu-jitsu training
for hand-to-h combats on the
battlefield.
The principles agreed that all
rough stuff, such as kicking in the
groin, was out. All wrestling was
to be done on the mat.
Pojello, who fought for four years
in the First World War, was game,
but his age and lack of condition
was a tremendous handicap. After
few preliminary moves, Pojello
slammed his opponent to the mat
and they quickly squirmed to the
