Install Fool-Proof Clock at Illinois

Champaign, Ill. - The field judge's stop-watch will be a thing of the past at Illinois football games from now on, following the installation of an electric clock in Memorial Stadium.


The time, by quarters, will be official to the fifth of a second, and spectators, as well as players and officials will be able to tell at a glance the time remaining.


The clock, with a dial 12 feet in diameter, will be operated from the sidelines. A horn will sound automatically when a quarter ends.
