Grantland Rice

Famed Sportswriter of the 1920s and 30s. From Woodlawn.

"For when the One Great Scorer comes

To mark against your name,

He writes - not that you won or lost -

But how you played the Game."

(from the poem "Alumnus Football")

Not a grave. From Memorial Grove in Van Cortlandt Park. Very unassuming, neat section remembering a couple of dozen members of the miltary. The most recent passing of the departed that I observed was recorded in 1950.
