Show WAR'S OPPORTUNITY fOR-A GOOD BOXER "I should think," says Emll Thiery, the athletic trainer, "that a good boxing and j wrestling Instructor could find a swell Job j right now at the seat ofj war. ' Of course, war as conducted nowadays. Is mainly long-range fighting,- but every now and then there Is a rush, a furious charge, and a personal mix-up. A good - teacher of boxing and wrestling could show these fellows Just what to do In close quarters, with guns empty. The Japs, I hear, have their own. system of fighting, called Jiu-Jutsu, Jiu-Jutsu, so the Russian army- would offer the best field .for a good Job. Of course, the blows, etc, would have to have Russian Rus-sian names. There .would be the left hookovltch.' the right crossoff, the swing-okln swing-okln and the punchsky on the Jawafeff. In wrestling tactics there would be the hammeroft lockavitch, theetrangle hold-Iff hold-Iff and the half-Nelsonleff. 'It-wouldn't take long to master these names, and the Russians would pay 2500 a month to a ' - competent instructor." - j |
