As mentioned above, there are two or three players who can, to advantage, go without the regula tion canvas jacket and wear a jersey in its place. These are, first, the quarter-back, and sometimes the centre rush or snap-back, and finally, the full-back, if he be a kicking full-back only, that is, one who does not attempt to do any running. The team of eleven men is usually divided into seven rushers or forwards, who stand in a line facing their seven opponents a quarter-back, who stands just behind this line two half-backs, a few yards behind the quarter-back and finally, a full-back or goal-tend, who stands a dozen yards or so behind the half-backs. This gives the general formation but is, of course, dependent. Upon the plays to be executed.
