CHAMPIONS BY SETBACK

by David K. Boynick ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 1, 1954

The hazards of accident, the hurdles of misfortune proved assets to this group of true sportsmen who overcame their handicaps and forged to the top. These are short biographies linked by afflictions conquered:- Glenn Cunningham, the famous miler, who suffered for years with severely burned legs; James Braddock, with his broken hand; Hamilton Richardson, a diabetic who became a tennis champion, and so on. Handled without undue sentimentalizing, this has its therapeutic value.
