When Mike Yokel and Frank Nc
Carroll meet tonight at the Majestic
theater in their finish match, fans may
expect to see one of the fastest wrest-
ling cards that has been put on IN
Boise. Yokel is in the city and an

He is determined to win from the for

so. With the two grapplers in this at

some anticipation to a genuine mat

The Majestic theater will be devoted
exclusively to the wrestling card to-

FORECASTS FALL
OF FRANK COTCH
Mike Yokel Believes Joe
Stecher Will Win Mat
Championship.

That Joe Stecher will probably win
the worlds heavyweight wrestling
championship from Frank Gotch when
they meet Labor day, is the opinion of
Mike Yokel, of Salt Lake. Well known
mat artist who has met both Stecher
and Gotch in handicap matches, los
ing to the former and winning from
the latter. Recently at Salt Lake Yo-
KEEL met Stecher and was surprised at
the wonderful ability the Kansan
showed at the graphing game. The
latter part of the present month he
will go on with Frank Gotch in han
dicap match at Salt Lake.
"Getch is SO years old and has not
wrestled until recently for five years"
said Yokel "Stecher is % years old
and is wrestling all the time. Gotch
weighs 225 pounds; Stecher weighs 20S
pounds. Stecher is taller and longer
of reach than Gotch. He stands six
feet tall. He looks like a high school
boy, is very modest and in fact bashful.
But don't think for one little moment
that he does not know how ~ wrestle.
Say. he can put on a scissors hold
while you are standing UP and make
the hold effective on any part of your
body. His leg work is wonderful.
never saw a wrestler who had such de-
velopment in his legs or who could
handle them to such advantage. His
work Is deliberate. He never faces an
opponent but WI at he is determined to
finish the match in as short a time as
possible.
When Stecher is wrestling with you
he has habit of coming at YOU side
WAYS. This is somewh confusing.
He also persistently lifts enc or the
other of his legs for an opponent to
TAKE hold Of. Often when this is done
he falls backward resting one shoulder
on the mat While he fastens leg
scissors to his opponents body and
throws him. Once sure hold Is Sc
cured stecher never lets ge until he
has a fall
The fans at Salt Lake were greatly
impressed with Stecher We are now
trying to arrange a handicap match
with Gotch with the three wrestlers
who went on with him. This is being
done in order that fans can get a line
on Gotch as he Wrestles now. Why |
think ijtecher will win is because he is
young and has the confidence and pep
of youth Gotch Is getting old and |
am afraid that pep is not there. How
ever, who can tell. The tile holder
may prove that he is a greater cham
pion than ever"
Mike Yokel lost the worlds middle
weight championship which he held
for years to Pet Brown of Texas, but
just before leaving Salt Lake for this
city he arranged to met the Texan
again in return match 4 viii win
that title from Smith" said Yokel. III
1t is within my ability to do so and !
think that it is.
