OREGON, 9; 0. A. C., 0.
This tells the tale of the first batttle to be played on Oregon’s
new turf athletic field this afternoon.
Twelve thousand fans witnessed the contest, which was one
of the hardest battles ever fought in Eugene. Every available
seat in the grandstand, and bleachers was taken and thousands
lined the field on all sides.
Oregon fight proved to be the undoing of her rival for the
second time in succession, since her first, defeat in 10 years in
1917. From the time the game began until the timers ran onto
the gridiron after the final quarter the famous spirit was all
there, and whenever the Aggies managed to get a little advantage
it was but for a short time.
Oregon s two quarterbacks, bteers ana Manerud, were tne
great ground gainers for the Varsity. The husky ex-Marine
played a wonderful game while he was in, but he had to be taken
out at the middle of the third quarter because of injuries.
The rest of the contest was all Manerud’s. The midget
general filled Steers’ shoes in great style and made gain after
gain around the Aggie ends. Not content with making yardage,
he placed the ball squarely between the goal posts for Oregon’s
final three points from the 20 yard line.
Huntington made Oregon’s first touchdown during the sec
ond quarter after a wonderful march down the field by line
plunges and passes, together with a 50-yard return of one of
one of Lodell’s punts.
Just before the game began Governor Ben W. Olcott an
nounced to the stands that the new Oregon gridiron had been
named Hayward Field by the student body of the University in
honor of Trainer Bill Hayward. The veteran ti-ainer received a
wonderful ovation from the crowd.
The stands were a mass of color, the Oregon rooters being
bedecked in the green and yellow at the north end of the bleach
ers, and the Aggie followers in the black and gold at the south
end. The Oregon stand was very effective in that the women all
wore chrysanthemums according to an ancient custom.
The yelling was superb. The stands were in an uproar dur
ing the entire contest and when the two were yelling at the same
time nothing could be heard but a great din from both stands.
The weather was ideal for an Oregon victory. The light
rain that fell in the forenoon did not affect the field in the least
and Oregon’s backfield was able to show its true form as a re
sult.
Quite a number of changes were made in the lineup of
both elevens during the fray either for injuries or otherwise.
Trainer Bill Hayward was forced to make five changes from the
original lineup before the end of the clash, while the new Aggie
trainer, Mike Butler, made a like number.
It was a very clean game in every respect. There was only
one penalty outside of the penalties for offside, which were rather
common. Both teams were anxious to get at each other and as
a result the officials had a difficult time in keeping onside.
Rowell did most ot O. A. U. s yardage making. During tne
second half the huge Aggie fullback carried the ball on almost
every down and time after time he made yardage through Ore
gon’s line. However, one man could not play the whole game
and as a result Oregon managed to down him after the end of
the third quarter.
In the last quarter Manerud kicked to Reardon who fumbled
on his own 10 yard line. Bartlett recovering. Manerud made 7
yards around left end, but the opponents intercepted a pass on
their own 1 yard line and kept Oregon from scoring "another

"HAYWARD FIELD” IS NAMED OE
OREGON’S NEW ATHLETIC EOF
Dedication Speach Made By Governor Ben Olcott
Before Game, Gridiron is Named in Honor
of Varsity’s Famous Trainer
Hayward Field was the name accepted this morning for the
new athletic field. The action was taken by the committee ap
pointed by President Stan Anderson a few weeks ago.
It is indeed fitting that the new Oregon gridiron .should be
named after Oregon’s oldest mentor, William Hayward. The
veteran trainer has been greatly responsible for Oregon’s success
for the past 17 years and is one of the most well known trainers
in the country.
“Bill,” a's he is known to all of Oregon’s followers, made his
debut in the capacity of trainer in 1902 and has aided every coach
since that time in keeping the University among the leaders of
country in an athletic way.

did not finish.
Work on Oregon field has been
under way for the past two years
and final plans were n6t adopted un
til similar fields throughout the
country were examined and their
construction studied. The site for
1 he new field was given to the student
body by the University, while the
student body financed the erection
of the grandstand and bleachers.
Cost is $7,000
The estimated cost to the student
body is $7,000. 'Phis includes the
cost of the grandstand, with dressing
rooms, lockers and showers, bleach
ers and sidewalks. The new grand
stand will seat 4,000 people under
cover, while the bleachers will ac
commodate some 0,000 more. Mater
al for the bleachers was obtained
Tom the old Kincaid field bleachers,
they have been rebuilt on substan
tial foundations at an approximate
cost of $1000.
The field itself has a well tiled
Inise of gravel averaging over 20
inches in depth with a crowned cen
,er, forming the foundation for the
flaying field. This base is uniform
ly covered with 14 inches of sandy
loam soil, easily pervious to water,
curving with the crown of the gravel
base and providing a drainage sys
tem which should keep the field free
from water under the most adverse
weather conditions. For a playing
surface this loam is covered with a
good coat of grass, raised under the
special supervision of Oregon’s vet
eran superintendent of grounds, 11.
M. Fisher.
Quarter-Mile Track Provided
Provisions are made for a quar
ter-mile track, not to be completed
until next season, which will encir
cle the football field and afford a 220
yard straightaway in front of the
grandstand. Accommodations for
the field events are arranged so these
can be held in front of the stands
also.
A baseball diamond is planned for
the south side of the field but will
not be completed m time for this
reason’s games. Seating facilities
for the diamond will be afforded by
turning the south side bleachers
around and constructing a new set
of bleachers on the west side of the
new diamond.
With the dedication of the new
field, historic old Kincaid has to give
way for the accommodation of the
rapidly growing University. Many
an Oregon football and track victory
has been fought out on old Kincaid
and much sentiment is attached to it.
With the destruction of Kincaid many
an old Oregon grad here for Home
coming will find the foundation of a
number of sacred traditions takea*f
away. Kincaid has furnished >£ne
