SHORT GRID GAMES
 THIS MAY BE RECORD

While no attempt is made to retain records of the time taken out in a foot ball match, it is believed that the gross time consumed in the game between the University of Oregon ana the University of Washington is in the nature of a record for the conference According to George Varnell. who refereed the game. the tune consumed from the firing of the starting gun to the closing gun. was one hour and twenty five minutes. Perfect foot ball cannot be played in less than one hour and seventeen minutes. This in- cludes one hour of play and seventeen minutes allowed between periods.
 Under the circumstances the game referred to required only eight min utes in excess of the minimum time. Time is taken out for the following reasons: While the ball is being brought out for try at goal, punt out of kickoff; after safety or touch back after a fair catch has been made; during enforcement of all pen alties; when the ball goes out O. bounds or when player is disab bled
 To play a game in one hour and seventeen minutes is regarded as vir- tually an impoSsiblity.

 Turn to the left (wesO at a point two miles this (the Yuma) side of Arlington. or turn south at Arlington and be headed right at the two mile point In fact that is the way we have signed the road, and it is the surest way to get a party started right. as the turn off at the two mile point is apt to be passed up.
