Decade Old Record

Beginning back in 1968 in
the 63-47 free-for-all with
Tulane, Carrington's string
extended over 19 contests and
eclipsed the old record of 35
set by Clemson's Lon
Armstrong ten years ago. In
that Tulane game, Jim missed
his first attempt and then
booted seven conversions to tie
another ACC mark for PATs in
a single game which he
matched two weeks ago in the
VMI game. Carrington's streak
was broken on his fourth kick
when the middle of the
blocking wall collapsed and
allowed a screaming Indian
through to bat the ball down.
