The above results compare favorably with those of others: Uuech
Bunn of Stanford seid tha’ ike return to the centre circle ures
9-12 minutes (of the 40! plaving time. %-12 eaxane can be served
after each goal.

Madison Square Gerden Stetisticians state that time wested for
centre jumps, held bells, and out of bounds plays very from 3-123 sec-
onds, 10 min. of pleying time wes lost in 1 geme. Coach Edwards of
Missouri claims 4-8 minutes could be seved.

A New York Sun newspeper steted that “Experiments heve shown thet
with the other system in use (no centre jumvs) the time actually de-
voted to play is increased by about 15 per eent." This time gould be
saved of course by merely stopping the timing device. Coech Lonborg
hes results which show thet 5 minutes can be saved. 5 minutes seems,
therefere, a conservetive figure.

The score of the game enters into the considersetion. The smell-
er the score the less the time seved of course, but the more veolue-=
eble too. In = close game a few minntes mey meen every ii.re. “he
larger the- score, the more time saved.

In my own experimentel game the score wes 42-21, yesul tins from
26 field goals end only 3 fours
