No Fair, Ya Little Bully!
In judo—unlike more orthodox contact sports—the cry of protest should go: "No fair pickin' on the big guy." For the judo-ka, or devotee, operates by turning the other man's bulk and strength against him. This was what happened to hefty 11-year-old Norman Kleinberg at the Starlight Roof of Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria during the 11th semiannual shiai (tournament) of Judo Inc., an organization currently trying to teach this useful sport to some 500 U.S. youngsters. As a younger, more successful and slighter judo-ka explained scientifically after the valiant but fallible Norman's defeat: "He pushed when the other guy pulled."
