It's unadulteratedly American by the sound of the game it describes, I always thought. I've not looked up Grantland Rice, all I can remember about him is that he was a sports writer for, presumably, a newspaper, before the war.

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"
