Jim Thorpe - All-American Page #9

Grab him low. Down here.

The main thing is to keep your head up,

your eyes open and your back straight.

Is that clear?

Yeah, got it.

Gosh, he knows all about football.

- You're telling me!

- We're playing a big game next week.

- Will you help us, huh? Will you?

- Yeah, will you?

Yeah.

Sure, I'll help you!

There's some guy downtown

putting up a couple of medals.

We'd sure like to win them.

- Well, let's just play to win the game, huh?

- Okay, Coach.

Come on, boys, let's go!

Coach.

Here she comes!

And so Jim found himself

and was again on the true path,

the bright path, teaching and helping

young people everywhere.

This was his greatest victory

and tonight the state of Oklahoma

adds another great name,

another portrait to its hall of fame.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the man whose achievements and records

will live forever in the annals of sports.

Acclaimed by the American press as the

greatest athlete in the past half-century,

Jim Thorpe, All-American!
