...Holy Cross fans like a particular kind of football-good, crisp football. The crowd on the far side rose to its feet after defensive back Mike Jordan collided with big Pete Varney, causing Pistol Pete to get up a little slowly. It was the play of the day.

With an epic command of abusive language and a pistol in his pocket, Stillman presided from 1921 to 1959 over the gloomy New York City arena where Jack Dempsey, Georges Carpentier and Primo Camera-among thousands of others-worked out during their careers. "Big or small, champ or bum," he said, "I treated 'em all alike -bad. If you treat 'em like humans, they'll eat you alive...
