Pathex Motion Pictures 29 Qrantland Rice SPORTLIGHTS And Features Devoted to General Sports and Athletics from Pathe News and Pathe Review • Recognized throughout the length and breadth of the United States as one of the foremost writers on sports, Grantland Rice is considered by many the logical successor to the late Walter Camp as the Dean of athletic authorities. Rice's Sportlights of the world of play portray the distinct contribution to American life made by the ideals of sportsmanship in "playing the game for the game's sake." "Football Chances" Grantland Rice Sportlight Produced by J. L. Hawkinson No. E 1 One Reel $1.75 Fast and slow motion views of the Syracuse University squad, showing methods of tackling, punting, and other football activities. Also some snappy action between Penn State and Georgia Tech. "Golf Form" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 2 One Reel $1.75 Golfing theory and demonstration— from the primitive shepherd's crook and the round stone to the perfection of experts like Bobby Jones and Gene Sarazen, who are shown in action, then at slow speed, that every stance and movement may be revealed. "Boxing Form" A Grantland Rice Sportlight No. E 3 One Reel $1.75 For the boy — Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney and Jim Corbett demonstrate some of the blows used in boxing. The fighters are first shown at top speed, then slowly, that every movement can be studied and reproduced by a student of the "game."
