I Qualifications OfTrackMen Vary, Says Bill I Fighting Heart Essential To All Cinder Artists According to Hayward Ability to Earn Letters Said To Change With Seasons “Track men,” said Bill Hayward g yesterday, “are like diamonds. They | come in all shapes and sizes. .1 ’ve I seen big milors and little milers; big | shot-putters and little shot-putters. I Sometimes the best men are bow-leg Iged, and sometimes they are knock kneed. You can’t tell a thing about I it until your man has developed I himself fully. But there is one P thing which all track men must ■ have, and that is a fighting heart!” There are a few exterior charae tcristies which give some hint as to I an individual’s track capabilities, I though the rules which these cliar acteristics are .supposed to illustrate ; inave befcn violated so often that they p have nearly become exceptions in | stead of rules. On a whole, accord I ing to Bill Hayward, distance men I have slight builds, quarter-milers 1 S are rangy, sprinters are between [ these two, hurdlers are tall, broad i jumpers are like sprinters but some I times shorter, liigh-jumpers are tliih and tall, weight-men are rather tall and .stocky, and polc-vaulters are ■.tall and strong. JLegs Only Necessity t!i!i doelaits that it is possible to make a tra.-k man out of any one if lie has two legs. "Any man, I don’t care who lie is, or how bad he is at first,” said Bill, "is practically certain of making his letter if ho will come out four years.” Last year nine letters were award ed in track, and there were chances for twice that many 'letters. If a man wins six points during the sea-j son, or one first in any one dual conference meet, or 011V point in the Northwest conference meet, he is en titled to the Oregon emblem. Chances for making points in the different events vary each year and in each meet, it all depends on the schedule, and on the relative strength of the teams competing. In normal seasons, there is usually .some one meet in which the weak est man has his opportunity. It is not necessary to lie a record-breaker to win a letter, declares Bill. Yes terday he listed some of the perfor mances with which it would be pos sible to win firsts. It is something ^ like this: Many Events Mile, I minutes .'15 seconds; two mile, 10 minutes; half-mile, around - minutes; 440 yards, around 52 seconds; 220 yards, around 23 sec onds; 100 yards, around 10 and two fifths seconds; 220 low hurdles, 27 seconds; 120 yard higli-hurdlos, 17 seconds; pole-vault, around 11 feet o inches; high jump, 5 feet 8 or to inches; shot-put, 43 feet; broad jump, 22 feet; discus, 125 feet; ! and javelin, 170 feet. Lill says lie has seen the shot-put non at 38 feet, the high-jump at' 5 feet 4 inches, the pole-vault at i under 1] t'eef, and (lie mile in 4 minutes and 40 seconds. It is not necessary to win firsts Id qualify. ►Sometimes men combine move than one event in their work, and take enough seconds and thirds to give I hem the needed points. Sprinters ollen are good with the javelin, and discus men are usually good with the shot. The only events which really re quire high, delicate coordination and therefore a little more experi i eiu-e than others are pole-vaulting iind hurdling. [ Rev. Kmciumon Sniitlf Rev.
