University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The High School Dramatic Club, Lucille L. O'Brien

Bachelors’ Theses

The choice of topic for this thesis is an outgrowth of work with high school students in dramatic club activities. Though the work is intensive at times, the informal spontaneity and sincere enthusiasm which accompany it provide real enjoyment. The choice and the scope of material are intended to meet the needs of beginning and advanced groups, to motivate individuals who are seeking self-expression, and to suggest activity for leisure time. Certainly the appeal of the work should be utilised to make the dramatic club an intimate, joyous, and creative project for teachers and students alike.

Track And Field Sport Past And Present, J. Arthur Miles

Bachelors’ Theses

This is a brief account of the last half-century’s history and. development of track and field athletics in the United States.

Backfield Play In Football, Charles Joe Wild

Bachelors’ Theses

Twenty-five or thirty years ago the selection of a football team was mainly a matter of picking out the biggest and strongest men on the squad. The weaker or lighter men were eliminated during the first weeks of practice by a series of scrimmages and by other hard bodily tests. It was a common belief that the men who withstood these first drills were the men who were of varsity caliber. One of the common methods of training a team in the early days was to have the men spend hours falling on the ball. This useless practice was supposed …

The History Of Development Of Stadia, Carroll C. Roark

Bachelors’ Theses

Athletics and athletic games have been a part of man's life ever since his beginning. Naturally, in order to play these games, he had to have a place in which to play. He could not go out into his own back yard or his neighbor's and hold a chariot race or track and field meet. Special places had to be devised for the holding of such contests. Hence, began the development of what was to become our modern stadia. It is my purpose to trace the history and development of these places, from the earliest sources possible, up to our …

Regulation Of Motion Pictures For Children, Mary Elizabeth Coffey

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is not to condemn motion pictures. The writer realizes the important role the films play in educational, social and recreational life today. But because all pictures are not suitable for child audiences (nor does the writer believe that motion pictures should be produced only on child level) the writer in the course of this study will recommend some specific form of regulation of motion pictures for the vast child audience.

Defensive Football, Rollie Joseph Halfman

Bachelors’ Theses

I selected as the subject of my thesis "Defense Against the Running Attack, " because I believe it is the most important single factor of football. Probably it is not so "flashy" as repeated successful offensive thrusts, but surely more dependable and much easier physically and mentally on your football team.

Another reason why I am writing on this subject is to endeavor to show the fellow who sits in the stands on Saturday afternoons that defensive play is just as com­plicated and needs as much or more quick thinking on the part of the player as offensive play. On …

Lineplay In Football, Walter A. Plewe

Bachelors’ Theses

After playing, watching, and reading about football, the writer is convinced that the line of a football team is the deciding element which will determine the success or failure of that team. Yes linemen! Of course they are of some importance the average spectator will say, but look at that backfield, watch those runners, passers, kickers, they will win the game for us. There is a true example of the football for who will watch the Saturday afternoon game, read the Sunday morning headlines, and consequently be more convinced than ever that line play is only incidental. This is not …

The Child Guidance Center, Elizabeth Hauser

Bachelors’ Theses

It is the purpose of this study to indicate to some degree the need for scientific child guidance, to show how child guidance centers have developed, how they are operating, and what they are trying to accomplish. This account is primarily descriptive of the typical workings of the more important clinics in …

Center Play In Football, Arthur Lorenz Krueger

Bachelors’ Theses

Let us go back to the early eras of football, when the game was more or less a rough and tumble affair and when men depended upon brawn and strength to gain heights in the game. The little man was often left out of the game, and usually only one light man made any college football team, the quarterback. On the other hand the heaviest man usually was the center. He was expected not only to pass the ball but also to lead interference on line smashes which constituted nearly the whole offense of old-time football; and he had to …
