Moose Krause's
Tape Measure
Used by Stars

NOTRE DAME. Ind. 49, The
Moose" Krause tape measure
which has been used TO speed up
the measuring of first downs the
past three years at all Notre
Dame home football games, went
on the road, so to speak, last Fri
day night, when it was used at the
College All Stars Cleveland
Browns game, in Soldier Field,
Chicago.
Invented by Krause, Notre
Dame Athletic Director, the pro-
duct eliminates the Chain gang"
from the playing field at any
time during a game.
This first down tape has a
plastic hook which the head lines.
man places around the lead pole
of the "ten-yard sticks" and then
takes the tape to the nearest
chalk-line. The head linesman
then takes the tape to the referee
at the point of measurement and
if the ball is ahead of the hook,
first down has been made. If
no first down has been made, the
headlinesman merely winds up
the tape and puts it in his pocket.
He does not have to return to the
sidelines with the polemen and
supervise the exact re-setting of
the poles in their same position.
And as a result, good deal of
time is saved when the Moose"
Krause tape measure is used.

he added that the jurists prob
