	Frank Gotch
		Frank Alvin Gotch was born on April 27, 1878 on a farm near Humboldt, Iowa.
		Gotch accepted the dare, and they wrestled for nearly 2 hours, with the 21-year old Gotch pushing the seasoned champion to the limits of his ability before McLeod finally pulled out the victory.
		However, Gotch was angry at Hack for starting the dirty rumors, and he thus shot on Hack in the second fall to claim the sweep.

	FRANK A GOTCH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Frank Alvin Gotch was born April 27, 1878, on a farm three miles south of Humboldt.
		Frank was either pretty confidante, or he was displaying the naiveté of a young Iowa farm boy.
		Few men garnered the respect Gotch earned during his time as champion, and for many years afterward, every champion that followed him was invariably compared to the great Gotch, the "measuring stick" of that era.

		Gotch as a Gestapo for the Man is a sin.
		And Gotch knew it, as it’s immediately revealed that one of his great goals was to grapple with his teacher - who just happened to be one of the finest wrestlers in Humboldt.
		It seemed that because of all the insanity, Mama Gotch didn’t approve of her son rolling around with his teacher, so he “double-crossed” her by arranging her absence on that day.

	The Historian: WRESTLING'S HOLD ON THE WESTERN WORLD BEFORE TH... @ HighBeam Research
		Gotch stunned the sporting world with an upset in what Chicago Tribune writer George Siler described as "the most desperate mat battle in the history of wrestling."(29) The best two of three fails, catch-as-catch-can style match lasted for over two hours before Gotch slammed Hackenschmidt to the mat, forcing him into an eventual submission.
		One writer in Gotch's hometown penned the following panegyric: "From the remotest corners of Iowa--and from the vastness of the Dakotas, stalwart sons of the open prairie make their pilgrimages to witness the work of their idol--for in no small measure, Frank Gotch is a deity."(39)
		Gotch's pleasant--though sometimes rough--manner of meeting these foreign invaders and picking them up and slamming them around like sacks of grain and finally pinning their foreign shoulders to the mat, having toyed with them to his heart's content--perhaps that's what really has endured the husky Iowan to the followers of the wrestling game.

		Born in 1878 on a farm three miles southwest of Humboldt, Iowa, Gotch grew up in the rural Midwest, of which wrestling had been an integral part since the earliest pioneers.(24) His bucolic wrestling career began with impromptu contests that occurred anywhere from the school grounds to farm fields.
		Gotch fondly recalled, "We boys used to wrestle at the `sales' which were plentiful in those days.
		A 1913 confrontation between Gotch and another European champion, George Lurich of Russia--in reality he was from Warsaw, Poland--provides an interesting lens from which to view the wrestling phenomenon in prewar America.

		It is not improbable that at some future date the crown so ably worn by Frank Gotch, the Humboldt, Iowa, farmer, may rest on the head of the Kentuckian, for he is only a 'kid' in years as well as in the mat game, and still has plenty of time to 'grow.'"
