	Columbia Journalism Review: Good sports -- Sportswriter: The Life and Times of Grantland Rice by Charles Fountain / Jim ...
		This is a sample of the early handiwork (1901, in fact) of none other than Grantlana Rice, a gentle, courteous Tennessean with a gift for hyperbole and sentimental verse who became the most revered and most successful sportswriter in America and probably, if the matter were researched, the whole world.
		Rice, born on November 1, 1880, near Nashville, got his first newspaper job on the Nashville Daily News as a $5-a-week reporter of sports and general news after getting a good education at Vanderbilt University.
		Fountain offers a judgment of Rice's impact quite contradictory to Lipsyte's: "He was [sportswriting's] pre-eminent voice in the decades when sport was coming to the fore in American society, a time when--to the newspaper reader--the sportswriter was as central to the game as the athletes themselves.

		GRANTLAND RICE, who died in 1954 at age 74, was a sportswriter for more than fifty years, became a national figure, and for most of his career stood at the top of his profession, more or less inventing literate sports coverage.
		Grantland Rice wrote the most famous lead in sports reporting, perhaps the most famous lead in journalism, about the ArmyNotre Dame game of 1924.
		In one of his many, and surprisingly good, poems that he worked into columns he coined the famous line: "not that you won or lost--but how you played the game." As will be sensed from these two quotations, Rice was and remained a sports idealist, his heroes larger than life.

		Grantland Rice, arguably the best-known American sports writer ever, was also one of the most highly regarded personally and professionally.
		Born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Rice attended Vanderbilt University and upon graduation began his journalism career with the Nashville News, moving to the Atlanta Constitution, then to the New York Mail and finally to the New York Tribune (later the Herald-Tribune).
		In 1930, his column, "The Sportlight," was nationally syndicated and strengthened Rice's position as the "Voice of Sports." What separated Rice's column from countless others was his writing style and the column's content: a combination of sport news, gossip, and commentary.
