HAYWARD
SENDS BACK
2 OFFERED
Oregon’s Trainer Asked to Accept Money for Special Favors
Shown Former Students—Fathers in Both
Cases Offer the Bribe to
Hayward.
William H. Hayward, Oregon’s peerless track trainer and conditioner
of athletes, has, while he has been at the University of Oregon, received
two bribes through the mails. Both of these have been in the form of
checks, and both have been returned to their sender by Mr. Hayward,
with a curt letter of refusal.
One check was for $10, and was received last winter. The other was
for $100, and was received a year or so ago. Both offers were from
the fathers of former University of Oregon students, who had little track
ability. The bribes were conditioned upon extra attention to be given the
two students, and they also requested hat he young men, neilier of whom
are in the University at this time, be allowed to demonstrate their ability
through success in competition.
The wo checks were drawn in favor of William Hiiyward, and both
were returned to the men who offered them.
DORRIS PULLS
SENIOR CO-ED
OUT OF DANGER
Bess Cowden Loses Bet as to
the Swimming Ability of
Junior.
Ben Dorris, manager of the 1915
Oregana, came near saving the life of
Miss Bess Cowiden, a prominent sen
ior in the University, last Wednesday
afternoon, after lie had accepted her
dare to try to rescue her from the
Mill race while she struggled against
his efforts.
As both students are excellent
swimmers, a discussion arose as to
the ability of Dorris to pull a per
son ashore against his will. The
actual test was then agreed upon.
Miss Coiwden dove into the race late
in the afternoon at Bond's boat
house, and Dorris followed her, div
ing from the second floor of the
Shack.
Miss Cowden tried to shove Dor
ris under, but could not, and she was
instead ducked by Ben, swallowing
three large gulps of water in the
immersion. This bothered her. Dor
ris then put his arm around her neck,
and won his bet by swimming to the
landing.
Newspapers, according to Profes
sor James Henry Gilbert, are nothing
but “purveyors of organized gossip.”
Yea, verily. The Emerald-Bulletin
feels flattered to think that it has
even passed under the observation
of the Doctor. Although the front
page is no place for editorial com
ment, we should like to ask the Doc
tor what he would substitute for
these “purveyors.” Possibly, Edison
records.

University 'piggers,” the gates of the
I. 0. O. P. cemetery may be closed to
the public after sundown, if the peti

co-eds, is heeded by the board of
managers of that burying ground.
After a quiet investigation oof af
fairs, Miss Guppy has declared the
burial park to be a public nuisance
and has brought the matter before
a local lodge, asking them to place
the lid on evening strolling through
the cemetery.
Several prominent University stu

fight the proposed closing law and
will send a delegation to attend the
meeting of the board, at which time
the matter will be thoroughly dis

Dean Guppy will take ni case the peti

made against the enforcement of any
rules restricting their personal lib

STUDENTS FORGE
GAME TICKETS
Graft and corruption are rife
among the certain University stu
dents. Not content with swindling
the student body management
through ordinary means, they have
stooped to cheating their fellow stu
dents, as well as themselves.
The latest method of robbery res
orted to was to print a lot of bogus
"1 have paid” tags on a printing pr<3ss
owned and operated at the Phi Delt
house, and then distribute the spur
ious tickets to 'the crowd at the O.
A. C.—Oregon frosh baseball game.
The necessary reperattfon was de
manded and complied with.
