Santel is recognized the world over as one of the best mat men that ever stepped into the padded circle cir-cle and is pronounced by eastern scribes as one of the greatest exponents expon-ents of the game. In fact, some scribes have stated that Santel even had Steelier. Lewis and Caddoek cheated when it comes to cleverness. In one of his recent tilts Santel defeated de-feated Vladek Zbyszko in a two-hour contest at Boise. Zybszko agreed to throw the. lightweight title-holder twice in two hours, but failed to pin San-tei's San-tei's shoulders to the mat during the contest.
