Yesterday “Bill” Hayward, the mention of whose name brings a thrill of pride to the heart of every Oregon student, ■ came down from the farm where he has been waging his fight to “beat the knife” and regain his health for the past ten days, ;■ to get the track men started along the right road. Scarcely strong enough to be out, he met with the thirty-five or forty men who answered the first call, looked them over and mapped out a course of training for each. There was nothing Xo inspire him in the way of prospects. In that entire group of men there was not one who had ever worn the spikes under Oregon colors — not a man with a record be- j hind him to indicate that he housed the possibilities of a point winner. They were all green, probably the most inexperienced bunch of material with which Hayward ever faced an intercol : legiate season. But they were willing and with that the coach who has kept the Lemon-Yellow supreme on‘track and field year after year was satisfied. He looked the situation square in the face, frankly admitted that he did not see where Oregon had a chance to keep up the record of former seasons and set to work making the best of a bad mess. There was nothing of the “what’s the use” sentiment in the Coach’s attitude—that is not the Hayward way of doing things and it is not the Oregon way. He started out to build a team in the same manner the United States is building an army out of civilians. He cast aside the remembrances of record holders that have graced his squads in the past and set to work on the material at hand with the same enthusiasm he would have ex hibited over a crew of conference champions. In a lesser de gFfe he has been confronted with the same situation before and every time with results that surprised the most optomistic. The University has confidence that he could do it again single hand ed, if circumstances had not set themselves against him. Many coaches in Hayward’s position today would do ex actly what he refuses to do and the thing he would be justified in doing to protect his own interests—forget track and get away where he could secure the rest his health demands. But “Bill” is an Oregon man, probably the truest of type that the Univer sity has ever known. He realizes that Oregon needs him this year more than ever before and he has answered the call regardless of what the cost may be. There is room for a lot more of that spirit in the University, not only in athletics and other varsity activities, but also in the everyday life of the students. One of the things Hayward did yesterday was to call for more recruits. He wants every man who can “put one foot be fore the other” to turn out for track and it is up to the men to respond. There is a lack of something in the man who won’t turn out when his Alma Mater needs him, though he stands not the slightest chance of making the team. But even the “man” is lacking from the make-up of the student who can throw “Bill” Hayward down in the face of what he is doing this year. (Continued from page one) fight is looked for before the second sucker is chosen.

ROSENBERG TAKES FIRST FOR OREGON Wins Over Seven Other Orators in State Contest; Dwight Wilson President for Next Year. Pacific University Second, Mc Minnville Third and 0. A. 0. Fourth on the List. Abraham Rosenberg won first place in the intercollegiate oratorical contest for Oregon last night, over representa tives from seven other colleges in the state. His oration, “Your Name Hon ored Yesterday, Today Loathed; What Will it Be Tomorrow,” was easily 'the most impressive of the evening. Rosen 'berg won first place from every judge on composition, and took one first, one second and one eighth in delivery. Aft er he had spoken no doubt existed in any spectator’s mind as to who would win. His splendid delivery commended at tention through his whole speech. He was the most deliberative of all the con testants, taking 15 minutes for his speech. Martin Bernards, of Pacific Univer sity, was second, with the oration, “The Soul of Belgium,” and Irl McSherry, of McMinnville College third, with the oration, “Democracy versus Autocracy." “The Stake,” delivered by .T. I. Stuart, of O. A. C., was ranked fourth. The other colleges competing were Oregon Normal school, Willamette University, Pacific College, and the Eugene Bible University. Awarded Medal. Rosenberg was awarded a gold medal for first place, besides making his foren sic “O.” The judge on composition were F. M. Padelford, of the University of Washington; W. R. Davis, of Whit man College, nud Q. M. Miller, of the University of Idaho. The judges on de livery were Ilopkin Jenkins, of Port land; H. H. Herdman, of Portland, and Justice Henry Bean, of Salem. Dwight Wilson was chosen president of the association for next year, at a business meeting of the delegates held Friday afternoon. Merwin Woolford, of Pacific University, was elected vice president. Herold Ennel. of Willamette, secretary, and Bernard Mainwaring, of O. A. C., treasurer. Oregon holds the contest next year. Banquet for Delegates. After the contest a banquet was given in the basement of the Methodist church, where the event took place. AValter Myers responded to the toast for Ore gon, "After Them All.” Oregon’s delegates returned today, re porting a fine time and a splendid r* ception by Willamette students. Before the contest started, the different col eges gave their yells and songs. Rosenberg's victory keeps up Oregon’s record of never getting below first or second in the contest. BEZDEK FAMILY THRIVES IN EAST, WRITES COACH Oregon Gridiron Wizard Leaves Chicago for Pittsburg; “Wo Have a Great State.” Things arc going well with the TVz dek family in the east, despite hard win ter weather and the war, according to a letter from Oregon’s football wizard received on the campus this niorn.ng. Saving that they were leaving Chicago for Pittsburg Monday evening, and ask- ] ing that his Emerald be sent to the of fice of the Pittsburg baseball club, Roz dek wrote: “How is every little thing on the cam pus? It seems years since T left. “We had a great time at Pasadena. The army gave us a scare, but we finally beat them by a good margin. It really was an Oregon reunion—five Oregon men on the Marines end five on the Camp Lewis team. Ilarry. we have a great state! And they all performed in grand style. “The big three. Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, have re-established intercol legiate athletics. Evidently the experi ment tthese schools cancelled all of the intercollegiate contests when the 1 nited States entered the war! was not a suc cess. even during war times. From what l hear, the movement was unpopular from the very beginning. Uncle Sara wants machinery which turns cut fight ing men kept going. "1 have heard a great deal about the military side of the University. Colonel Leader must be a Hive wire.’ The Uni versity is to be congratulated.” Professor and Mrs. fr. E. IV Cou and Mr. and Mrs U. E. Chambers were Thursday evening dinner guests of Kappa Kappa Gamma.

With between 350 and 400 books sold, and the field narrowing, the contest for sales is becoming more keen. The prize money will be very closely contested, judging by the present status of sales. Rufus Eckerson hpads ithe list, with more than 100 sold. Lillian Hausler and Lillie Miller are close seconds, with nearly 100 each, while Helen McDonald is third, with 73. The engraving is well under way at Hicks-Chatten company, in Portland, and the printers will soon go to work. Copy is nearly all ready and will all be in before exam week.
