There are several weaknesses in the present scoring method. First of all, it gives too much weight to the personal opinion of the referee, who, lacking hard-and-fast rules, usually sends close bouts into an overtime session.

Such a wrestler could gain an early time advantage and then merely stall or hang on for dear life until the end of the bout...
Well aware that the damages asked by Apex would surely sink Branch No. 1 (whose income is $175,000 to $180,000 a year in dues from 15,000 members), Defense Attorney M.

Well it might, for even the Loyalists assumed that when peace came...

I. with his wife and two small sons, Artist Grosz instead apprenticed himself to the art of oil painting in 1934, has worked hard at it ever since. Last year his explosive Street Fight stirred visitors at a Whitney Museum annual (TIME, Jan. 3, 1938); single "Studies in Textures" have appeared elsewhere. Last autumn George Grosz became a U. S. citizen. This week he was finally ready for his first one-man show...
