It would be interesting to see a stat comparing the effect on the performances from different start times. Of slight interest is the editorial by Henry Chadwick published in the 08 Spaulding guide where he takes note of a movement in England where they set the clock 20 min forward on each of the 4 Sundays in April to gain more daylight hours...I kind of like that idea to daylight savings instead of what we in the U.S. eventually settled on. Anyway, enjoy your thoughts...If you were to do a statistical look I think you would have to find the time of sunset for exactly where the game was played as there was no uniform daylight savings time across the nation and states and localities including cities were free to adopt it or not ...don't think it was until Nixons term that it became more national...keep up the good work and roll on...
