Falcons Face Clock Rule In IFL Motion For 1970 Season
The Interstate Football League approved a motion requiring every team to have an electric clock for 1970. Red Hipp of the Hagerstown Bears initiated it, Harry Hopple of Chambersburg seconded it, five teams voted for, one against, and four abstained with eight reporting. Bud Ecker said reasonable time will be allowed to acquire clocks as Falcon owners hunt for one amid claims Frederick lacked a clock. Hipp withdrew protest to avoid league disruption. Hagerstown remains winless in two years. Summer flounders reportedly reach two to five pounds, with a 30 pound maximum noted.
