They are easier to topple over when thev're big. lie says. 1 Takah:-ishi has recently had a couple of matches in Idaho at Twin Falls and Po-catello Po-catello and he arrived in town yesterday. He has had thirty-two matches within the last year 01 t wo on t he coast and has never heeu defeated. Among his opponents oppo-nents were such well-kuovvn heavyweight heavy-weight grapplers as Romanoff, "The Belgian Bel-gian Tiger," Ernest Baker, i'eto Buzukos and manv others. Although he weighs but 140 pounds himself, 25u-pounders are easy for him, according- to the testimony of press clippings. In mati.' lies with catch -as-catch-can wrestlers Takahashi does not employ certain cer-tain tricks of the jiu-jitsu, because if hi did their use would probably result in broken bones or paralyzed nerves. An effort wii! be made by local Japanese Japa-nese enthusiasts to arrange a match in Salt Lake between Takahashi and some professional or amateur "strong men." |
