I asked how would he know that?
He said he still owns a copy from his early years of officiating

I think it may have been a Point of Emphasis in 1925.
As for me, I chew gum for the first 3 minutes of the game. Then I stick on on the bottom of the ball and tell a dribbler that if I see gum on his hand, I know that he carried the ball!!
On a more serious note, I've tried chewing gum while working a game a time or two and it just gets in the way.
