In fall 1940 a new electric scoreboard was erected on the slope of the Hill next to Alumni Memorial Building. The scoreboard featured an electric clock that provided the playing time remaining in fourths of a minute. Built by Post Sign Company, the scoreboard gave scores, downs, yards to go, and type of penalty. A fifth game official was employed as official scorer. The official scorer operated the electric clock, which replaced the field judge’s watch. The first official scorer was Wilson Collins, Knoxville High School coach.
