Football Injuries At The College Of The Pacific 1924 To 1933, Robert L. Breeden

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The interest in football injuries has increased with the increased enthusiasm for the sport. The coach is finding it more and more important to have all of his players in the best possible condition to withstand the terrific strain under which they must compete. The public wants to see a well played, exciting game, but the days of brutality seem to be vanishing. The average fan would rather see the best players play in the game than to have them sit on the bench in plaster casts.

This has led to a series of quite wide-spread investigations dealing with the …

Ice Hockey, Arthur Peterson

Bachelors’ Theses

Because of the drastic rule changes in ice hockey during the last few years all established systems of offense and defense must be radically changed or abolished. Besides adding more speed and scoring to the fame the rule changes have brought about a standardization of the game, causing the amateur and professional interpretation of rules to mean about the same. The usual official rules of any game are far from a description of the game, and the most descriptive literature on the subject is lacking in the definiteness of the rules. The present thesis aims to combine these two elements, …

The History, Development, And Technique Of Soccer Football, Stanley R. Kezele

Bachelors’ Theses

Soccer football, in comparison with other great sport activities in the United States, has not been publicized to any representative extent either in the press or through literary discussions. As a student of the game I have been unable to discover any available authoritative work that embodies presentation of all its important points in necessary detail.

From a number of pamphlets, booklets, and articles, an attempt has been made to organize the diversified knowledge that seems of most value, together with additions of my own. Several moot questions, especially in the technique, have been studied carefully, and those standpoints considered …

The "New Deal" In Physical Education, William J. Luoma

Bachelors’ Theses

It would have been an interesting study to investigate the history of physical training, and to trace the different opinions, events, and epochs which have shaped and characterized the development of this important phase of education. The development of these different exercises and the influence they would have upon the development of the people would also have been an interesting study.

Intramural Athletics In Senior High Schools, David J. Ritger

Bachelors’ Theses

I have written this thesis for it will not only be beneficial to me in regard to obtaining knowledge about the subject, but in later years, should I obtain a position as a physical director I will be able to take charge of intramural work of the school. The thesis is based on a variety of readings, including several books written by the more well known authors of intramural athletics like Mitchell, Elmer D. "Intramural Athletics and Play Days". Some of the material also was obtained through the auspices of two coaches of Wisconsin High Schools who answered and returned …

Organization And Administrative Relationships Of The Departments Of Physical Education And Health In Various Wisconsin High Schools, Joseph J. Kores

Bachelors’ Theses

The field of Physical Education is virtually a new field of endeavor. It has been coming into its rightful position in the field of Education so rapidly that our institutions of learning are wantonly neglectful of its importance.

The Board of Education of the State of Wisconsin requires that all High Schools shall have a Physical Education program. As a rule all High Schools fulfill this requirement. But as there are no specifications enforced, as to how the Physical Education program should be carried on, each school organizes its program according to its own tastes.

This survey clearly indicates the …

Intramural Athletics For The Small High School, Maurice R. Wood

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Intramural athletics, in the small high school should be a program of sports for all. The small high school with its limited financial and athletic equipment will do well to recognize the general trend of physical education by developing an athletic program of "activity for activity's sake".

Working in the physical education department of small high schools for the past four years, the writer is aware that there is a need for a program of athletics for all. The program presented in this thesis is the result of investigation and practical experimentation with intramural athletics for boys in the Live …

Line Play, William J. Wamtulonis

Bachelors’ Theses

Prior to 1896 the rules did not require more than one man on the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play. Under these rules, the famous "flying wedge" was developed, in which ten of the eleven men were in motion when the ball was snapped. The rules were later changed, requiring five men to be on the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play. This rule, together with its companion rule that "no player shall take more than a single step before the ball is put in play, save the one man who may …

Line Play In Football, Francis J. Linscott

Bachelors’ Theses

Line play in football has gradually evolved from a massed attack, as prevalent in the early eighties, to an open game that is in vogue today. Participants in the early days of football called this a "block game." The team in possession of the ball would not make any attempt to advance it if they were playing a superior team. This evil became so great, however, that a rule was enacted, whereby the team in possession of the ball must advance five yards in three scrimmages or suffer a penalty of ten yards. This was changed later on, and a …

Some High Lights On Science Club Work

Science Bulletin

"The success of the club is of course more dependent upon the director than upon any other one factor. The director should take no active part during the meeting, except when it is necessary to carry the boys over what is to them an insurmountable difficulty-his frame of mind should be that of a man behind the scenes, who having set the stage stands by watching the performance, ever-ready to step into a situation and set things right. The ability to do this properly comes with practice. It does not demand exceptional ability or personality - Next to efficient leadership, …

The Place Of The Green Leaf In The World, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

Why is a leaf? Ask the question of twenty-five of your friends and if five can give the correct answer I will be surprised. The green leaf is the food factory for the world. It is the plant organ that captures the energy of the sun and in the process of photosynthesis builds of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water and stores this energy in potential form. Later, through oxidation processes, this energy is released and does most of the work of the world. The green plant connects the inorganic world with the organic world and our energy is directly …

Colloids, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

The increasing importance of the chemistry of colloids is giving them a wide recognition in the general chemistry texts of college grade. In a lesser degree they are included in the high school books but the information is often so condensed as to offer little of value. The writer believes that two or three class periods near the end of the year's course should be devoted to this subject and this article will attempt to present basic fact upon which may be built a discussion of colloids for high school pupils.

Concerning Cottontails, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

The cornfield lay above a low bluff overlooking a swamp, and for half an hour I had tracked that cottontail through a perfect maze of weeds and cornstalks. Warming with the chase, I was determined to have that particular bunny if it took me all morning. if I had not known better, I would have thought he was teasing me. Time and again, his tracks led into a bunch of grass with every indication that he was there for the day, but always they led out on the other side.

Venereal Diseases, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Much has been said about what ought to be done about venereal diseases. Nearly everyone agrees that more education on the subject is needed, but that is about as far as it goes in at least ninety-nine cases out of a hundred. The result is that much erroneous information is surreptitiously passed about. Some young people have an abnormal fear of venereal disease and live in dread of acquiring it from all kinds of objects. Others, and this group is entirely too large, treat the subject entirely too lightly, and fail to respect the dangers involved.
