Last week at Cheyenne, he
picked up $1,600, one of the big
gest purses in his seventeen year
. career. At this writing, the 25-year-old
contender was hign
scorer in bull riding at the
Casper, Wyo., rodeo.
Often, Griffith enters every
event in a rodeo. His big win,
$2,643, at the Calgary Stampede
last year, helped make him tne
nation's 9th leading money
winner in rodeo's meanest event
brahma bull riding.
At the rodeo finals last year,
he competed with a broken
wrist and finished in the money.
