PACIFIC COAST
i I
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Novi 3—The de
\ elopement of the Ameiiean intercol
legiate game of football on the Pacific
coast, both in offense and defense,
gradually is making useless the pre
sent nomenclature of the various
names for the backfleld positions. To
the mass of spectators this is not ah
apparent as it is to the sporting writ
er who reports the game and attempts
to compile a lineup.
Left and right halfbacks constant
y are reversing their positions, the
juarterback and fullback evchange
places and no fixed combination ob
tains in any succession of plays.
According to Pete Smith, coach of
the St. Mary’s college eleven, “We
have four backs. They change about
:n practically every play, so.that you
can’t sry uiat one man Is playing
quarterback or halfback. He plays
both."
This, in a nutshell, describes the
dilemma in which the sporting writ
er reporting a game is placed when it
comes to making up the final sum
mary of the lineup. There are as
many quarterbacks playing in the full
back position and doing the punting
as there are men regularly assigned
to that position. The uselessness of
attempting to describe a backfield
man as playing in any one particular
position is becoming more and more
apparent, both because of the diffi
culty of doing so and its Inaccuracy.
Whether this eventually will lead to
a blanket, designation of “backs” with
out further identifying nomenclature,
remains to be seen.
That California will be represented
bv swlmm^-s iu the future who woll
capauly take the place of such men as
Rudy Ranger and Norman Rose when
they pass out of active competition
Is one of the tasks that the Olympic
club of this city has set for itself.
In order to foster the sports among
the small boys, this club has a —un
ior and Juvenile membership which
constantly is being afforded opportun
ities for competition at which valuable
prizes are offered to the winners. As
a result there are nearly a hundred
youngsters, ranging In ages from 5
years to 18, whose interest has been
enlisted and who are seriously im
pregnated with the ideas of striving
to become future champions.
Among these boys are a number of
youngsters who are developing into
remarkable cleancut divers and it is
not unusual to see the boys not more
than ten or twelve years old negotia
ting the regulation high dive of 32
feet. It is a spectacle which affords
a thrill to the onlooker which the
grown performer is unable to fur
nish.
