Show SMOOTH DOME AND TURTLE NECK WINS TITLE j I s liy I1LLLY EV ANS. "Using my head won me tho wrestling wrest-ling championship and Is helping me retain it." Is the way Stanlsluus Zhysz-ko Zhysz-ko explains his victory over Stranglor Iyewls. On the surface one would take that statement to mean that ZbysskO outsmarted out-smarted Lewis In a measure he did, but Zbyszko when ho mu.de assertion that hl herul did the business was speaking from an entirely different angle. I he hendloek is the favorite hold of 1- -1 Stranglor Lewis. When all tho other1 holds have failed him.

In his second meeting with Lewis. ; Zbyszko time and again thwarted the I headlock by pulling in the old neck a la turtle. I Zbynzlto often wrestles minus the regular Mhoes. This fact has often caused much comment. He says It i much easier to break a toe hold minus the shoes than with them on I |
