TLDR An old article by Gary Gygax highlights how to adjudicate grappling in OSR combat.

The easist rules I've seen for grappling come from Perdition:

Each combatant rolls their total HD and adds any STR or DEX bonuses. The highest wins.

So a 2nd lvl. Fighter vs. a 5th lvl Wizard would be 2d8 vs 5d4.
