Among the missing from yesterday's session were Matt Botsford and Dexter Lewis. Botsford, who was second in rushing and fifth in total offense in the Ivy League before getting hurt in the Ohio game, has a bad elbow. Coach Lloyd Jordan reported, "I don't know exactly how he is, but I do know there isn't any break in the elbow. His arm is in a sling, and I imagine he'll be out for quite a while...
Referee's Elbow. For a couple of minutes in the last round, the Kid came to life. But it was too late to impress the judges. Later, in his dressing room, Gavilan really turned it on. He bawled, bellowed for justice and retired from the ring in rapid succession. To hear the Kid tell it, Referee Pete Pantaleo massaged him in the clinches with a bony elbow; Blinky Palermo polished him off just by being there. "I give boxing back to Philadelphia," wailed...

Sriswasdi charged out of his corner, butted Kaeh in the chest, kicked him in the thigh, and clipped him on the back of the neck with a wicked elbow. By the middle of the second round, both fighters were smeared with blood. The music rose to a frenzied tattoo. With every blow, the 8,000 Thais in the stadium chanted for more blood. Sriswasdi jerked Kaeh's head down and kneed him viciously under the chin, blocked a feeble counterpunch, spun his man around and jabbed at his ribs with both elbows. Dazed, his opponent backed away. Sriswasdi took...
...skulduggery included outfitting his men with leather elbow guards which looked so much like a football that defensive tacklers went wild trying to find the ball carrier. Harvard Coach Percy Haughton put an end to that by threatening to paint the ball red, white and blue. But the Indians had an unending supply of good-natured guile. Once before, Quarterback Frank Mount Pleasant had waited patiently for the right opportunity, shoved the ball under Teammate Charlie Dillon's jersey, and almost beat Harvard with a hidden-ball touchdown...
