Great universities to recognize this in ten years
In ten years the great universities will recognize it as such. In the last year 26 persons in the country were killed in football. This exceeds deaths in the prize ring since 1701. People seek nature’s weapons over guns and knives, believing fists are safer, reducing penitentiary populations. Secretary Broadvick notes terms with Sullivan could book him as a fall attraction.
