This football board game was created by Howard H. Jones who was not only the President of the Municipal Service Corp. Ltd. which produced the game but was also the Coach of the University of Southern California Trojans 1931 National Championship team. He coached at USC from 1925 to 1940. In the game kickoffs field goals and punts use a special mechanical device that kicks the ball. On offense the player chooses one of eight possible plays to call and then spins an arrow which stops on letters. Then the defense spins the arrow and gets another letter result. The result of these two spins determines what happens to the ball and what happens in the game. The color-coded board/field measures 26 long by 25 wide and all the original components are included. Comes complete inside original box.
Letter of Provenance from the Newport Sports Museum.
