Hazee

In the testimony of the hazee appears the following: "That he had no objection to do what he did; that it was not forced upon him; they did not tell him to do anything; they asked him if he could and he said 'yes' […]

Baer's antics — which included the time-honored hazing ritual known as the hotfoot, in which the hazee's shoe is discreetly set on fire — masked his real intent: to develop a strategy to defeat Carnera.

Frequently, it all ends with the hazee feeling out of sorts—discouraged, frightened, angry, disgruntled.
