NEW WORLDS RECORD
MADE FOR FIELD GOALS

Alfred Griggs. OF the Exeter High
School. California. recently broke all field
goal-kicking records when he registered
fifteen goals from field in one game. The
score Of the game was III to nothing in
favor OF Exeter. against Hanford High
School. of San Francisco. During the
course OF the game Griggs tried seven
teen Placement goals and made fifteen
from distances ranging from fifteen to
forty-two yards. This Is the greatest per-
Torrance ever recorded In one game. The
high score and lack Of opposition gave
Griggs his many chances. but neyerthe-
less. the record is remarkable.

only to allow them to return when
word was given that no collection
would be taken up for the Mohawk
National game.
The old law which prohibited ath-
letic exhibitions on Sunday, and
which hung fire for some fourteen
months, was amended last spring which
allowed the sand-lotters TO play where
an admission was not charged di-
rectly or indirectly. Games have been
played during the past summer and
this fall and many of the spectators
have given volunteer offerings on such
occasions.
Manager Joseph Oliveri. of the
Vigilant football team, who has been
promoting the games this fall at the
park, was in Youngstown. Ohio, Sun
day with the local champions and
upon his return was surprised TO hear
of the p0li"n interference, and Inn

situation. Oliveri will make an at
tempt to have a correct interpretation
today on the existing regulation.
