...lived on not because it had great wealth, for Harvard has been again and again most desperately poor. It has had, of course, no army, no material force of any kind to make it prevail. It has not been the ward of a great sovereign or of a munificent state.

Product of a bootleg boxing circuit which flourished in upstate New York when promoters were too poor or too parsimonious to pay for licenses, Ambers is 22, untemperamental, attached to numerous other D'Ambrosios by those ties of affection which all right-thinking young pugilists consider themselves conventionally compelled to profess.
