Says McClain.
GROWING DEMANDS OF
UNIVERSITY TO BE MET
Baseball Diamonds, Tennis
Courts, Needed for
Completion.
In the midst of what used to he a
spongy swamp, the University and stu
dents have built within the past three
years, what is generally conceded to be
the best athletic field on the Pacific
coast. Hayward Field, some few years
ago was damp and muddy, abounding in
marsh buttercups and mosquitoes. To
day, however, its appearance is greatly
altered. In place of the rushes and
'swamp grass, is a fine gridiron of turf,
surrounded by a seating capacity of 7200.
It is estimated that more than .$13,000
has been expended in converting the
marsh into the up-to-date athletic field
upon which the Pacific Coast Conference
.track meet is to be held to-day.
“Experts—men who have participated
in meets in the last two years.” said
(Marion F. 'McClqjn, former graduate
manager “say that this is a much better
track than the one at Washington and
also superior to the track at Stanford,
where the conference meet was held last
year.”
Work on the track was sttarted last
summer. After the grading was com
pleted. an eight-inch drain pipe was laid
around the field in the center of the
track, with smaller laterals every 20
feet.providing perfect drainage. The pipes
were covered with 10 inches of coarse,
crushed rock, three-inch layers of fine
rock, then four inches of cinders mixed
with som* clay as a hinder and topped
off with fine, screened cinders.
The truck runs completely around the
football field, is a quarter mile in length
and 24 feet wide, providing eight lanes
three feet wide, for as many runners.
The football field, about which the
row track is built, was started in 1919.
The swamp was drained, by means of
large and small tiles connecting with the
Agate street sewer. The ground was
leveled off and covered with T4 inches of
gravel and a like amount of river-bottom
loam, in which the grass seed was sown
The field is higher in the center, which
facilitates drainage.
Governor Ben W. Olcott dedicated the
field at the first game played upon it (a
victory over O. A. C. in the fall of
1919). and christened it Hayward Field
honoring the veteran physical trainer of
Oregon’s athletes.
According to Mr. McClain, however
work on the field is not to cease with
the completion of the race track. Many
plans have been made for the future
which will make Hayward field the ath
letic center for the men of the Univer
sity. When the project is finally com
pleted. it will provide several basebah
diamonds, football practice fields, tennis
courts and a building for the use of the j
athletes. j
“The brunt of the expense thus far.'’
he said, “has fallen upon the student
body, which seems rather unfair, consid
ering that the improvements are of a
permanent nature and not Tor temporary
use alone.”
Tn addition to the new athletic fields
which must be constructed to meet the
growing demands of the University ath
letics. said Mr. McClain, provision must
be made for a greater seating capacity
than the bleachers and grandstand now
afford. More than 48,500 passed through
the gates at the O. A. C.-Oregon game
at Corvallis last fall, and, since Hayward
field will accommodate but 7200, accom
modations must be provided for even a
larger body for the Homecoming game to
be played with O. A. C. here next fall.
Hayward field when completed, with
its turf gridiron, its race track, including
a 220-yard straightaway, and grandstand
surrounded by tennis courts, baseball
diamonds and football practice field, will
give to the University adequate and mod
ern facilities for the furtherance of l>h> -
sical training and athletics on the Ore
gon campus.

NEW HALL IS TRIBUTE
TO FRIEND OF WOMEN
Distinctive Unit In Quadrangle Is Named
In Recognition of Mrs.
Campbell.
The latest addition to the women’s
quadrangle. Susan Campbell hall stands
as a tribute to one who has done a great
deal for the women of the University
Mrs. p. L. Campbell. The plan of this
quadrangle is to have a part of the cam
pus devoted to buildings which are direct
ly concerned with the welfare, comfort
and education of the University women.
The Woman’s building. Hendricks hall
and Susan Campbell hall are the three
units of the quadrangle already complet
ed. and a domestic science building, which
is to be erected just back of the 'Admin
istration building, will complete this part
of the campus building program.
The new' hall, while it seems to be p
great deal like Hendricks to the casual
observer who sees it from some vantage
point on the campus, is in reality quite
distinctive in itself. The general plan of
the two halls is the same, with the excep
tion of the fact that Susan Campbell
has no dining room, but the interior deco
ration is decidedly different.
The dignified colonial atmosphere of
the Hendricks drawing-room has been
replaced in the new hall by old English
.furniture, blue cretonne hangings from
London, and woven rugs. This variety of
treatment does away with any of that
tiresome sameness which is so ofteD
found in halls of residence on other uni
versity campuses.
In the basement there is a recreational
room, provided with a piano, where the
girls may come to dance or for fireside
parties. The suites are furnished with
study tables, comfortable chairs and
conches.
About 7o girls are now living there
with Miss Mabel Withycombe as house
mother. The twTo halls are to be added
to in the future as the demand arises, so
that 500 girls can eventually he housed.
