The position is shown on the left side of the above picture, Slip your left arm under your opponent's chest, get a firm hold on his left arm~the 'further arm'--near the elbow. Thrust your right arm under his chin and grasp his further arm with your right hand, Pull your opponent's further arm to. ward you. As you do so, bear against his side with your body. As a result of having one arm-brace pulled from under him and your weight bearing against him, your man should topple over on his side. If you should happen to be the man "Not that I know of.

I've figured it out." "It's lucky we weren't here," sald Aunt Margaret. "He might have killed us all." "IT might call in a finger print ex- pert," mused Mrs. Reese. 'It might be the print of some rogue. What do you think, Kenton?" Kenton looked rather queer. "Aw, I --L" he stammered.

Keep your hands spread far apart to make it more difficult for your epponent to get a strong grip. There is no reg- ular break for the further arm once it has been secured. Now let us suppose that by use of the further arm or some other hold you do roll your opponent over on his side. The next thing to do is to get his shoulders square on the mat. The "Jackknife" hold is one good way of doing this. Your opponent is lying on his side. Quickly thrust your left arm under his right leg at the knee. Place your right arm about Nis neck backwards; that is, instead of your right hand be- ing on the left side of his head when your arm is around his neck, it will be on the right side. This position is. illustrated by the right-hand of the picture printed here. Lock your two hands together, Bear down on your opponent's head and pull his knee up as though you were at- tempting to make head and knee meet. If the man is not quick to get hig head from under your arm you get a firm hold, nine chances out of ten he will have to twist over on his shoulders because of the strain placed upon his back by your hold.
