Bill Hayward’s Track Record Is
Almost Unbroken Line of Success
Has Developed Raw Material
Into Stars Who Achieve
Worldwide Fame.
William L. Hayward, Oregon’s famous
track coach, has a record of ulmost uu
b.oken success since his connection with
Oregon in 1!>04. The track teams which
he has coached have been defeated ia
only two /dual meets in that length of
time, and only once has his team been
the low point-getter in a conference
meet.
Every dual meet, with the exception
of the meets with O. A. C. in lOOfi and
3918 have boon victories for Oregon. In
most conference meets Oregon has
been the winner, and in only one meet,
the Northwest conference meet held in
Walla Walla, in 191.1. has Oregon, un
der the coaching of Bill Ilaywnrd, ever
Icon tihe team with the fewest points.
“The track prospects this year are
not promising, but are far from dis
couraging,” says Oregon’s famous track
coach, concerning the University’s
chances for a winning team this year.
“If we are to keep up to the standard set
>y past teams, we m'nist have more men
but, and those who are out must get
down to hard work.”

Bill wants at least five or six men
Out for every event, as after the try
Opts for the team, he must have three
tnen to enter for every event- At pres
ent most of the men are practicing
mostly on form, as the weather has kept
flown any show of speed. It remains to
he seen whether many of the men now
t bowing good form can also show the
necessary speed.
In the sprints, Rill has lined up Fos
ter, Mulkey, Masterson, Gamble and
1'hapman. These men are showing up
food so far, and Bill thinks later they
sill develop speed.

ieson and Anderson are showing up well.
In the half, Fecunughty and Arinon
tront are also showing good iorni. Nei
ther men have run the half before, and
Hill has before hip the job of develop
ing half inilers.
Several good distance men are out,
among them, Main, l’arr, Holding, Durno,
Trowbridge and Siehel. Durno, Hill be
lieves, will lie among the lenders of the
field in this event, but due to the late
basketball season, he will not turn out
out in a few day
Six Out for Hurdles,
lu the hurdles, Mnsterson, Still, Fee
naughty, Kates, Hollenbeck and Lind
ley are practicing nightly. In this
event, Still seems to be showing fire
form, and may develop exceptional
speed in this race.
Estes, Still and M. Brown are out
for the high jumps, while Bill has
hopes of developing some of his sprint
ers into broad jumpers. In the pole
vault, Bill has more new material out
of which to develop someone to slide
over the bar. Chapman, Bill believes,
will prove good at this, when he turns
out i na few days.
In the weights, Oregon will be espe
cially strong this year, as several husky
men are showing up good. Starr,
hstraehan, Gilbert, liunuuist and Dres
ser are all showing exceptional heav
ing ability.
One “find” has been Carter Brandon,
whom Bill intends to develop into an
all-around track man, as he lives one
man like this on the team.
Bill is not certain how his men will
turn out this year, as last year, due to
illness, he was unable to take charge
of the track team. As yet, he is un
able to tell very much about the work
the bad weather having kept the men
from going much actual running.

Oregon’s track schedule this year
culls for three dual meets, two Confer
ence meets U',d an indoor meet. The
first meet scheduled is the Columbia
Indoor Meet in Portland, April 12. Fol
lowing that a dual meet will be held
with Multnomah at Eugene, probably
April 17 or 24. Washington and Ore
gon stage a dual meet at Eugene, on
May 9. On May 10, Oregon meets O. A.
<J. at Corvallis.
The Northwest Conference will be
held in Pullman, May 24, and on May 31,
the Pacific Coast Conference at Seat
tle, both meets in which Oregon is en
tered. This makes a fairly full sched
ule, and one which begins on a date
barely a mouth away.
Since llill Hayward’s connection with
the University, he has developed sev
eral men who broke Northwest,, Pa
cific and even World's records, some of
which still stand. Such men as Dan
Kelly, who broke the world’s record in
l'.XXi for the hundred at 9 3-5 seconds
were developed by Bill, from inexperi
enced and green men. This record was
tied in 1914 by II. P. Drew.
Others of note, who were coached
and trained by Pill are:
Henry McKinney, who still holds the
northwest and coast record for 1(1 lb.
shot at 40 feet; Roy Zacharias, holding
the northwest record for throwing the
hammer, 155 feet, 10 inches; Martin
Hawkins, who tied the world’s record
in 1912 in the high hurdles at 15:01;
‘‘Moose” Muirhead, who still holds the
northw’est record for the high jump at
0 feet 2 1-2 inches; Ben Williams, pole
vaulter, who held the northwest record
in that event at 12 feet, 2 1-2 inches,
and who was developed by Bill from a
green aspirant with no experience of
any kind. His record has since been
beaten.
Some Records Still Stand.
Martin Nelsan, whose northwest rec
ord for the half mile of 1:57 2-5 still)
stands; Walter McClure, who held the
Northwest and Coast record for the
mile at 4:22 for two years; Mose Payne,
two miler, who holds both records for
that event at 9:35; Elton Houcks, quar
ter miler, who held for one year the
Northwest record in that event of 49
4-5 and Chet Fee, Oregon’s most fa
mous all round track man. who tied and
broke records in the javelin, pole vault,
high jump, shot put and hurdles, were
other Oregon men whom Bill Hayward
developed into track stars from inex
perienced and gram aspirants.
Of these men. Hawkins and McClure
were sent to represent the Unit 'd States
at the Olympic games staged at Stock
holm in 1912, while Dan Kelly repre
sented this country in those gam ?s in
London in 1908, when he took second
place in the hundred yard dash. Bill
Hayward accompanied Hawkins and Mc
Clure to Stockholm, and acted as train
er and coach for several others of the
United States team.
37 STARS STILL IN FLAG
Name of Cnaries A. Guerne Added To
List of Oregon Heroes.
The University service flag will still
retain 37 stars, notwithstanding the fuct I
that Iioy Johnson, ex-’15, for whom one
star was place in the service flag, is
not dead, for it was learned this week
that Charles A. Guerne, a graduate of
the University in 1912, died at Camp
Taylor of the Spanish influenza
Mr. Guerne was a principal and su
perintendent in several Oregon schools,
lie was superintendent of the Athena
schools and attended the New Mexico
State Normal School. At the time of
his death he was a member of the of
ficers’ training camp at Camp Taylor.
TUESDAY SET ASIDE
FOR REGISTRATION
Students to Sign Up For New
Term Before Vacation;
May Mail Money.
"And Tuesday shall be a day of reg
istration,” sayeth the faculty.
To old students of the University this i
means a day of long drawn out waiting
in line, of tired feet, and a depleted bank
account, due to the high cost of labora
tory fees and other varieties of learning
permits.
To the semi-new students who have,
perchance, never gone on a registration
expedition unaccompanied, it is suggest- '
ed by the same above mentioned faculty
that students arise early and avoid the
proverbial rush.
Students msut first fill out their reg
istration cards at the office of their re
spective advisers. Courses decided upon
and cards filled according to Hoyle, the
student proceeds to the comptroller's
window in the Administration building,
has his cards checked, and should he
have the wherewithal, he follows the
crow to the business office window and
pays his registration fees. In the cases
of the women, it is necessary that they
obtain the signature of the dean of wo
men before handing their passports at
the comptroller’s window.
If a student finds it altogether indis
pensabl? to interview father before pay
ing his fees, a special allowance has
been made for him by which it will be
possible for him to send in his money
by mail, any time before the 31st of
March, thereby gaining one more day of
vacation at home. The Monday follow
