Amateur Champ

Eddie Eagan, American Rhodes scholar, won the English amateur heavyweight boxing championship.

Eagan (who while an undergraduate at Yale three years ago was petitioned by Dempsey to be his sparring partner) was pitted against one Hulks in the final. " Eagan, full of vigor, dropped his opponent to the floor with a forceful body blow. Hulks' head struck the boards rather heavily and the referee stopped the contest."
