Roosevelt Fights for Harvard Heavyweight Final
In a historic boxing tale, Roosevelt then a junior defeats a taller heavier senior to claim the 140 pound division title. The match features a close first round with infighting due to Roosevelt’s near sight, a decisive second round won by the senior, a drawn third that forces an extra round, and Roosevelt’s ultimate loss weighed against the opponent’s longer reach. The anecdote ends with Roosevelt later greeting his rival on a train and inquiring about the man’s countryservice.
