67 CLASS 1 — Travel, Sports, Manners and Customs REEL NO. TITLE PRODUCER when cutting a cigarette in half while held in his partner's teeth ; the high diver at the country fair must not fail to hit the water in the seemingly small tank scores of feet below him ; the falling artists must not fail to fall just so, and the team who come down the chute in two small cars — the first one doing a loop in the air while the second passes under him — must time their act to a split second.

Starting with some splendid scenes of outboard motor racing on a lake in California, we see in turn Gar Wood's fifty-mile-an-hour day cruiser; Gene Tunney and his high speed motorboat on Biscayne Bay, and then some motorboat racing in Tampa Bay.

The steel steeds of the Steeplechase replace saddle horses; Flying Swings are a substitute for airplanes ; the Dipping Waves of steel give their riders the motion of the ocean waves. In similar ways the Tumbling Barrel, the Giant Coaster, the Shoot-the-Chute, the Spinning Tables and others offer the amusement and thrills of their counterparts to their riders and spectators. 685 feet standard length Rental $1.00 1137 Code CEFIR Spartan Diet Sportlight Edited by Grantland Rice Modern Spartans are seen here indulging in rigorous pastimes. The subject opens with a class receiving boxing instructions, after which we see Jiu Jitsu demonstrated by Japanese, a fast game of Soccer played by two teams of Hawaiian girls, and some football plays between the Army For maximum enjoyment
