THE BODY SCISSORS
WRESTLER UNCONSCIOUS LUKICH’S STRONG SQUEEZE SYDNEY, August 7. In the fifth round of his contest with Duke Biehina at Leichhardt Stadium, Tom Lunch obtained a body scissors hold, and applied such pressure that Richins was rendered unconscious. His seconds could not revive him, and he had to bo carried to his dressing room. Dr. MeAdam ordered his immediate removal to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, but after treatment he left the institution. When applying a body scissors, a wrestler wraps his legs around his opponent, locks his ankles together, and squeezes with his knees. The body scissors is Lurieh’s favourite hold, and ba frequently wins contests with it.
