WRESTLERS STRIVE AGAIN
What The WreStlers
Say Of the Mach

Mike Yollei-I never expect to
meet better, stronger or more
skillful middlsweight wrestler than
Gehrins. He is remarkable
wrestler. even better than his VIC
tories in the past would indicate.
I believe that if the match had con-
tinued indefinitely I would have
won by sheer endurance. / was in
excellent condition. and was pre-
pared TO wrestle all night ard all
day Thursday, if necessary. This
match has taught Ire much, and
believe that if 1 ever meet Gehring
again I will thzov him.
Henry Gehring-When l came to
Salt Lake I knew 1 was to meet
tough wrestler, but I had no idea
he would be as tough as I found
him. Yokel is much better
wrestler than Willoughby, although
Willoughby is considered a wonder,
and Ackerman isn't in his class at
throw Yokel, aud wes surprised
when the match lasted two hours.
After that it began to get more
serious. I knew that Yokel could
not throw me. yet 1 was surprised
aS his strength and endurance and
his wonderful defensive work. If
meet Yokel again il will be after
have trained long for the match.
and am fully prepared for him.
Then / believe I can throw him.
Tonight's match was the toughest
of my career as wrestler. and If I
ever throw Yokel I Will regard it
the greatest achievement Of my
wrestling career.
