  • Notes 
    • Findagrave claims Griff's real name was Griffin.

      Griff was named for Griff Callicut, a Baptist preacher and friend of his father.

      Griff took a new job as athletic director in Hattiesburg, MS in 1930, but stays only a short time, resigning in March 1931. The newspaper had no real comment on his resignation. This may have been due to his health.
