Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Griffith holds the football to his side as several players run towards him on the field. The valued players of the Maroons and Shamrocks are reviewed in detail. Photograph appears with the article, "Pro Teams To Tangle," Los Angeles Times, 13 Oct 1935: 23. Handwritten on negative: Pro Game - Gilmore Stadium - Homer Griffith with ball 10-6-35 Text from newspaper caption: Homer Griffith, former Trojan satellite, is shown breaking away for a healthy chunk of yardage against the Hollywood Braves in a pro football game at the Gilmore Stadium. Hand, on the extreme right, made the tackle. Note the clipping on the left. There was no penalty on the play, however, because pro rules do not recognize such fouls. The Maroons and the Shamrocks will be the rival pro gridders in today's football offering. Text from negative sleeve: 2532 - Pro-Game Gilmore Stadium Homer Griffith Sunday Oct- 6-35 [stamped:] [illegible]
