CINDER PATH STARS
ASSEMBLE THIS WEEK
END FOR RUDE MEET
TEAMS FROM SIX CONFERENCE
COLLEGES TO COMPETE FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
OREGON TEAM HAS HARD RACES AHEAD
Hayward Finds it Difficult to Pick
Seven Men from Oregon’s Eleven
Point Winners.
Next Saturday afternoon, on Mult
nomah field, the greatest track meet
ever scheduled in the Northwest, will
take place when the stars of the six
conference colleges assemble to de
cide the Northwest championship.
The meet, which was mainly promot
ed by Bill Hayward, Oregon’s pre
mier trainer, will bring together the
greatest array of first place athletes
ever assembled in one meet in the
Northwest.
Despite the optimistic feeling in
evidence on the campus, Oregon will
probably have a hard fight if she ex
pects to bring home the bunting, and
a glance at the entries in the vari
ous events shows why Bill is having
such a hard time selecting seven men
who will be capable of bringing the
championship to Oregon.
In the 100-yard dash there are
four men entered, Courtney, W.; Kin
der, W. S. C.; Cook, Whitman; and
Baker, 0. A. C., all of whom do the
race in 10 1-5 or better. The same
men represent their institutions in
the 220 and run it all the way from
22 3-5 to 21 4-5. In the 440, Ritter,
W. S. C., does the distance in 51 2-5,
while Walters, 0. A. C., and Bloom
quist, Whitman, have run it in 51 3-5 ,
and 52 respectively. The half has
been run by Bartlett, W. S. C., in 2
minutes 1 1-5 seconds, while Smith,
O. A. C., has run close to the 2
minute mark. Barrit, Whitman, runs
the mile in 4 minutes, 40 seconds,
Stoky, W. S. C., has done it in 4
minutes 35 seconds, while Williams,
the O. A. C. man, who ran Huggins
off his feet here a few weeks ago,
can probably better the 4 minutes,
30 seconds mark.
In all the races, with the exception
of the 2 mile, remarkably fast time
has been made throughout the whole
Northwest. Nor are there any easy
points to be gained in the field
events. With Harris and Scott, of
Idaho, jumping 5 feet 8 inches, and
Bower, W. S. C., and Doyle, O. A. C.,
both going 5 feet 9 inches, the high
jump is a disputed contest. Oregon
has little opposition in the 120-yard
hurdles, but Hunter, of Idaho, can
run the low in 25 1-5 seconds, and
wall probably run close to first.
With Sherrick, of Washington,
tossing the hammer 141 feet, and
Philips, of Idaho, running a close
second at 135 feet, the outcome of
this event also is extremely doubtful.
McCoy and Neill, Whitman, and Love,
of W. S. C., all hurl the discus over
120 feet, while there are five entries
in the javelin, all of whom have
thrown the spear beyond the 150
mark.
Bill Hayward, in speaking of the
coming meet, said, “It can easily be
seen that Oregon will have to buck
against a great bunch of star men.
There are eleven Oregon athletes,
however, who could all undoubtedly
take places in the meet. The names
of Johns, Hawkins, Latburette, Kel
logg, Williams, McClure, McGuire,
Neill, Stuller, Huggins, and Boylen,
are well known on the campus, but
I consider it the most difficult part

HAYWARD’S IN JAKE
EASE VICTORY FROM
NORTHERN ATHLETES
SCORE LOP-SIDED IN SPITE OF
OREGON’S FEW
ENTRIES
HUGGINS MAKES TWO MILE RECORD
Field Events Show Better Action—
Neill Hurls Spear to 165
Foot Mark.
Last week Trainer Hayward took
twelve tried men and true on the
northern trip, and each of the dozen
athletes acquitted himself well. Had
the meet been held in Eugene, Ore
gon might have made the score more
lop-sided by entering a greater num
ber of men and picking up more sec
ond and third places, but, as it is,
everybody is satisfied, including the
prophetic “Obak,” who foretold an
82-to-58 score and thereby underes
timated rather than over-rated Ore
gon’s strength.
The time made in most of the
events Saturday was slow', due to the
poor condition of the Seattle track.
Hawkins’ work of 25 4-5 seconds in
the 220-yard hurdles, was the best
performance, this being a new track
record at Washington. In the high
hurdles Hawk went behind his past
record and was content with the time
of 16 seconds flat. He was the high
est point winner in the meet, taking
16 points, beside running the first
lap in the successful relay.
Oregon’s great distance men also
loafed in all their events, being
chiefly concerned with taking as
many places as possible. McClure
entered all three of the distance
runs, winning the mile and finnishing
behind Huggins and Boylen in the
two-mile and half, respectively. In
the two-mile even, Oregon took all
three places, and Huggins hung up a
new track record of 10 minutes 3 4-5
seconds. In the half, Boylen over
took Ilusly, of Washington, in the
back stretch on the final lap, win
ning easily in 2:04. McClure also
passed the Washington runner near
the finish.
In the field events, the records
made were somewhat better. Bill
Neill placed his name in the head
lines by setting a new Northwest
record of 165.4 feet in the javelin
throw, defeating Grace, Washington’s
spear artist. Ben Williams got
away with the pole vault at 11 feet
3 inches, which is another track rec
ord.
Captain Hob Kellogg came through
strong in the weight events, winning
the shot and hammer handily, al
though forced to relinquish his An
gora to Edmunds, of Washington, in
the discus.
The results follow:
100-yard dash—Courtney, Wash
ington, first; Johns, Oregon, and
('rites, Washington, tied for second.
Time, 10 1-5 seconds.
220-yard dash—Courtney, Wash
ington, first; Johns, Oregon, second;
Crites, Washington, third. Ti.me,
22 2-5 seconds.
440-yard dash—Johns, Oregon,
first; Husly, Washington, second;
Wright, Washington, third. Time,
56 seconds.
880-yard run—Boylen, Oregon,
first; McClure, Oregon, second; Hus
ly, Washington, third. Time, 2:04.
Mile run—McClure, Oregon, first;
Huggins, Oregon, second; McClelland,
Washington, third. Time, 4:47 2-5.
