WHAT'S

OF

WEIGHT-LIFTING
AT
ALEXANDRA
PALACE

1945,
At
Alexandra
Palace
recently,
a
weight-lifting
contest
took
place
between
W
Watson,
the
middleweight
champion
for
1946,
and
E.
Peppiatt.
The
contest
was
decided
on
the
three.
"Olympic
Llfts-The
Hands
Clean
and
Press,"
"Two
Hands
Snatch,"
and
"Two
Hands
Clean
and
Jerk."
Each
lifter,
had
three
trials
at
each
lift,
and
the
best
result
at'
each,
trial
was
recorded,
and
at
the
end
the
poundage
was
totalled.
It
is
not
enough
to
be
able
to,
lift,
the
weights
overhead
just
anyhow,
for
when
the.
weights
are
up
to
shoulder,
height,
the
contestants
have
to
wait
for
the'
Judge
to
clap,
his
hands,
and
then
the
weights
have
to
be
in
position
for
at
least
two
seconds,
During
this
demonstration,
the
two
men
almost
succeeded
in
lifting
three
hundred,
pounds,
but
they
began
to
tremble
and
it
was
fortunate,
that
some
men.
were
standing
by
to.
take
the
weights,
as
otherwise
the
three-hundred-pound
weights
would
have
crashed
right
through
the
floor.
Both
the
men
have
Just
represented
Great
Britain
at
the
World's
Championship
in
Paris,
and
they
told
of
the
Egyptian
competitors
who'
called
upon
Allah
for
help,
and
then
gripped
the
weights.
Our
men
felt,
that
this,
was
