...Chicago, huge Primo Camera stalked warily about the ring, actually retreating from but trying to make it look as Krakow though he were ("Kingfish" advancing Levinsky), against 197-lb. Harry fish-peddler, who looked like a pigmy in the ring with his 6-ft. yin. 270-lb. opponent. In the first round, an upward right-hand sweep from Kingfish Levinsky landed on the side of the pendulous Camera jaw, caused the monstrous Camera knees to buckle. Thereafter, wary and furious by turns, using all his weight, reach and slight knowledge of tactics, Carnera managed to maul, push, lambaste Levinsky enough...
Under the dim lights of the New Lecture Hall this evening there will be a pageant of the nations, not that gala event which blesses the sawdust ring, but the more serious conception of international pageantry produced under the direction of Phillips Brooks House. The Harvard Model League, of all the 20,000 in the country, is said to be the best, but even so, one wonders.

One was blubbery Ed ("Strangler") Lewis, recognized by the New York State Athletic Commission as the heavyweight wrestling champion of the world. The other was crook-nosed Ray Steele, whose challenge the Commission had ordered Lewis to accept...
...Eddie Forbes raised Lewis's shaggy right hand, pronounced him still champion. Referee Forbes's announcement was inaudible in the loudest, most prolonged booing (20 minutes) that has ever occurred in Madison Square Garden. The bout had not ended in a fall. Instead, after stumbling about the ring with their heads locked like two foolishly embattled elks, Lewis and Steele separated, glared, grunted. Steele whacked Lewis on the face with the back of his hand. Referee Forbes warned him to refrain. Steele whacked Lewis three times more. Instead of disqualifying Steele, Referee Forbes warned him again. A wrestler...
