VOLUME XXXIV UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EUGENE, TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1933____Page 4 The Story of Bill Hayward (Editor’s note—This Is the first of a series of articles on the life of Colonel William E. Hayward, Oregon track coach, now entering his thirtieth year of service at the University.) * » * By BRUCE HAMBY TjUIIEN an outstanding athletic coach of today reaches the pinnacle of fame his life story be comes news. And this story usual ly starts off with an account of his early life, interwoven with tales of his early prowess. The life of r. football mentor will con tain stories of his stardom as a gridiron player; basketball, base ball and track coaches are usually former stars themselves at the particular sport which they teach. But a story of Bill Hayward must be a little different. In the first place his career hasn’t just reached its pinnacle. Bill has tast ed success many times in his life. And the story of Bill’s early his tory is as different from the life of present day athletes as the most rabid sport follower could imag ine. cjoionei wnnam u. i-iaywaru, 10 use his full name, started coach ing track at Oregon on April 18, 1904. He Is now starting on his thirtieth year at Eugene. That p(art of his life alone would fill pages and pages. The stars he has coached, the interesting personali ties he has met and known, and the very character of the man him self could easily be used as ma terial for a book. But it is the early life of Hayward that is little known and that is the purpose of this all too brief sketch. Three-sport athletes of today are looked upon as unusual speci mens of humanity—the very fact that they compete in three or mpre branches of sport make them news. What a pity it is that there was no such system of of newspapers and sport pages in Hayward’s day, for he would surely have been con sidered one of the wonders of the sport world. Track, rowing and lacrosse in the summer; wrestling, boxing and ice hockey in the winter. That was the sport calendar of the youthful Hayward. And he ex celled in all of them. From the time he was a youth around To ronto, Canada, he was considered a great athlete; it was part of his life. His entrance into athletic3 was a natural course. He first be gan to take part in them while still in school. Later he entered competition further afield and soon became known as one of the greatest foot-racers and track ath letes of the 1890's. (To be continued Wednesday) Honorary Admits Freshman Woman * ■ Ruth May Chilcote, Klamath Falls, freshman in business admin istration, has been honored by Beta Gamma Sigma, honor fra ternity in business administration, because she has made a grade av erage of approximately 2.8 for the last two terms, which is the high est of any freshman this year. She is the first woman ever to be awarded this honor. Miss Chilcote’s name will be en graved on the Beta Alpha Sigma plaque within a few days, it was announced from Dean H. V. Hoyt's office yesterday. Since 1921 this award was only given to freshman men majoring in business admin istration, but last year the group decided to include women in the fraternity. l I Mothers’ Day ....

Hayward v.’ii! be hon ored May 19 at a banquet spon sored by the Order of the “O.” The affair, which is open to the public, is being planned on a grand scale and all former athletes trained by the veteran coach have been mailed invitations. The banquet will follow the an nual Oregon-Oregon State track meet which will he held on the af ternoon of that day. On the fol lowing day Oregon’s prep track squads will meet for the state ti tle, climaxing a week-end that should live long in the memory of track fans. Coached Olympic Teams "Oregon's Grand Old Man of Athletics” has long been promi nent in the sports world. He is not ’only well known by followers of sport in the United States, but his fame has also spread abroad via the many triumphs of his pu pils in the Olympic games. During the past quarter century Hayward has served on the coaching staff of the United States Olympic team. He has for many years acted as head trainer for all of the Web foot athletic teams, and has re nown as a conditioner of men. In an article on Hayward’s life, Roy Craft, Register Guard sports, editor, writes the following: “Although Bill Hayward has been identified with sport in Ore gon for many years, he is in real ity a national figure. After nearly 30 years, as a Webfoot coach, Hay ward may rightfully be claimed as our own ...” Hayward I.ntided "Hayward’s story, if it could be properly told, would be rich with the humor of a man who lived by his brains as well as by the speed of his legs. It would be colored with the rugged beauty of a char acter who has had an important part in the training of hundreds of fine young athletes. It would be dignified by the mighty men of 50 years of sports who knew Hay ward, fought with him, played with him, and talked with him, and it would be touched with the devo tion of thousands of Hayward’s admirers who populate the Pacific slope. “There are great coaches, great runners, great fighters and great oarsmen, but when Bill Hayward’s friends meet soon to pay him hom age as he starts his thirtieth year of coaching at the University of Oregon, they will be honoring one of the greatest all-around athletes of all time.” CAMPUS LUNCH OPENS WEEK-END FRIDAY AT 12 luncheon, and other features are to be presented. Hot food will be brought every 15 minutes to the four tables erect ed to accommodate the hundreds of students and their mothers. The menu this year will consist of sliced meat loaf in a big buttered bun, potato salad, olives, pickles, potato chips, punch, and ice cream. Kwama and Thespian, women's service organizations, are to do the serving, assisted by Skull and Daggers, sophomore men's service group. Efficient service is being planned. Assisting Miss Card on the com mittee work are: A1 McKelligon, assistant chairman; Edith Peterson, serving; Harold Birkinshaw, con struction and cleanup; and Louis Vannice, grounds. The four serving tables at which the lines will form are to be dec orated in green and yellow, and will display signs to guide the lines as they are served. A noise demonstration is being planned for an official ushering-in of Junior Week-end at the lunch eon. One at In.:rmary Patients at the infirmary are limited to one. Nell Halstead is undergoing treatment. William Russell was released yesterday afternoon. And strawberry short cake was served at dinner! Babe Ruth's locker in the dress ing room at Yankee stadium usu ally is a foot deep in unopened letters and telegrams from admir ing fans. The Babe would need a full-time secretary to answer all of them. Oregon’s Greatest Here’s Oregon’s veteran track mentor, Colonel Bill Hayward, with lii/i star pupil, Ralph Kill, Olympic Games’ star, taken when Hill was at Oregon. A story of Colonel Bill’s eventful life begins today in the Emerald. He is now in his 30th year of coaching Webfoot track and fiidd teams. State Prep Meet Records Will Be Hard To Better No Outstanding Preppers Present Themselves in Early Distriet Meet If advance reports can be be lieved there will be few, if any, records broken when the top notchers among Oregon’s prep trackmen meet at Hayward field May 20. There are many preppers throughout the state who have been turning in some good marks in both track and field events, but none seem to stack up to the per fection needed if any of the ex isting records are lowered. It would, however, be a little too much to expect all the exist ing marks to stand up against the onslaught on the n^ore than 200 high school athletes who will com pete in the state classic. Never has a year gone by without at least one mark being either equaled or broken. The records, as they stand now. are: 220-yard dash: 22.4 seconds. Made by O. Gorecsky, Columbia, in 1913; Rengro, Franklin, in 1925; and Charles Fyock, Franklin, in 1930. 880-yard run: 1:56.8. Made by V. Windnagle, Washington, in 1912. Mile run: 4:29. Made by P.

BEAUTY OF RECITAL MUSIC, DANCES PLEASE (Continued from Pape One) the Gaillard, a difficult court dance with foot patterns so intricate as to call for gymnastic experience. This fact makes it difficult to un derstand how the court ladies in I their heavy brocades and stiff i clothing were able to perform it. Sports Oddities HUNTINGTON, W. Va.—(AP) —The relative speed of a college sprinter and a cottontail rabbit was put to a test here the other day. Norman Bias, Marshall college’s star sprinter, had just jumped from the starting holes in a prac tice dash when a bunny darted out in front of him. Thus challenged, Bias gave it the gun. For the first 100 yards it looked like a dead heat, but from there on the pace told on the challenger, and at the furlong Bias swept past him in a cloud of cinders. * * * BROUSSA, Turkey — (AP) — A Frenchman has made (he first de scent on skis of the Turkish Mt. Olympus, which rises 8,125 feet above sea level. G. Guiollot, pro fessor in a Turkish school, skiied from the summit of Olympus to the town of Inegueul, a distance of 62 miles. * * * NEW YORK—(AP)—The state of Montana presents the United States Golf association with a wide open field for missionary work. Although there are 36 golf clubs within the state borders, not one belongs to the national asso ciation. Only 8 of the 36 are 1S hole courses, and none of them has grass greens. For 13 years the Butte country club was the only club in the state. It was organ ized in 1S99. * * * LOS A N G E L E S — (AP)— George Stainback, star outfielder of the Los Angeles baseball club, is insured for two legs and one arm. Each of the new “find’s” legs was insured for $25,000, while his right arm was valued at as much more. UPKEEP OF AUTO IN EUROPE IS EXPENSIVE (Continued from Page One) order to secure money for the up keep of roads. While traveling, Mr. Hall wrote several stories for the Morning Oregonian. His home is in Lake view, Oregon. When asked about his profes sion, Mr. Hall replied that he in tended to be a publisher. And, he added, “I want to remain in Ore gon. I prefer it to any place in the world that I have seen.” “Things in Europe,” he said, smil ing to himself, "are old the soil has been cultivated, worn out, re juvenated; the trees are old and worn out while civilization has been here too short a time to make the country seem old.” “It’s vir ginal territory here,” he said— and then, repeating his statement, "I want to remain in Oregon.” i Joe Gordon, Frosh Baseball Star, Has Many Pet Peeves By HAZLE CORRIGAN There is one freshman that j Johnny Londahl is glad to have on his team. He is Joe Gordon, one time best shortstop for American Legion junior teams west of the Rockies. The most remarkable character istic about Joe is the way he combs his hair, or doesn't. He dis likes getting up in the morning, being interviewed, and cranking his Ford. This Ford, the model of which might be anywhere from 1920 to 1923, is just another of the cam pus wrecks bearing a single light, blown out tires, a leaking radiator, and no top. Eut the im portant thing about this particu lar Ford is that it is the object of so much affection on the part of the frosh star. He can hit hard. But Eugene high pitchers have a jinx, or he tries too hard—the result, lie makes a rather sorry spectacle after a tilt with the Eugenians. Joe is known to be very bash ful, but inside information indi cates that he has a mania for calling up girls, talking for a half hour at a time, without revealing his identity. It may be bashful boys who do that—or not. Down in California, he maintains, he was a hero, saving a girl named Ruby ! from drowning. There are two things he likes I -—raiidng the kitchen, a nightly occurrence, and not having an as signment for chemistry. He thinks that he might make a good pole vaulter. Of course, he has never tried it. Yes, and he does think he can pitch baseball. One thing more, he thinks he'd like to set heads for the Emerald. Joe Gordon is the best baseball player that the frosh have Impasted for years, according to campus sports authorities. He was a stel lar player for Jefferson high in Portland during high school days. Simmons To Give Initial Recital of Season Tonight Rose Simons, who has success fully presented recitals in years before, will give her first recital of this year tonight at 8 o'clock in the school of music auditorium. Miss Simons, who is a graduate student, was one of the soloists in the ''Messiah,” recently presented in Eugene. Robert Gould will ac company her. The program follows: Anonymous (Arr.

The normal schools are budget ed to operate on a 12-month basis, and the summer session on these campuses is regarded simply as a fourth quarter; consequently there will be no extra appropriations for the summer work at LaGrande, Ashland, and Monmouth. The summer schools are largely self-supporting, figures available to the state board indicated, but it is difficult to estimate the amount of income to be expected from student fees this year, owing to the long delay in making an nouncement of summer school plans C. Wisliard Appointed Head of Council Picnic At an interfraternity council meeting held yesterday afternoon in Johnson hall. Chuck Wishard was named chairman to make ar rangements for a picnic to be held Sunday, May 21. The place for the affair has not as yet been se lected. Past members of the coun cil have been invited to attend. Ed Martindale of Phi Delta The ta fraternity presided over the meeting as president of the organ ization for the first time. Other new officers are Howard Bobbitt, vice-president; and Hal Birkin shaw, secretary-treasurer. I ONLY 6 MORE DAYS— i To Do Your Mothers’ Day Shopping to?

Lee, as he is known to most of his friends, has resided in this lit tle Oreogn village all of his life, so if there is' anything you would like to know of eastern Oregon or western Idaho the Webfoot baseball star can supply you with plenty of information. Chester had a rare honor of win ning 10 varsity letters while go ing to high school in Vale. Lee played end on the football team for three years, guard on the bas ketball squqad for four years, and played shortstop on the baseball team, which he captained the last of his three years as a member of the squad. In basketball Lee won honors as all-eastern Oregon guard. After graduation from the Vale prep school in the spring of 1929 the promising young athlete en tered the University, where he started a successful college base ball career. As a member of the frosh nine, Chester held down the third base position. In his sophomore year he was switched over to the first base position, which he has held since. His first year as a var sity abseball man the Vale youth tapped the horsehide for .312, and last year he connected with it for .357. This year Lee will wind up his college baseball career and from all predictions the big east ern Oregon boy should shine on the diamond. Chester is business administra tion major and when he receives sity baseball man the Vale youth for Portland, wnere he will be employed on the business staff of the newly reopened Weinhard brewery. Lee likes to spend his leisure time in the mountains hunting wild animals. Classified Ads LOST—In vicinity of College Side Inn, on Thursday evening, April 20, a Chi Psi fraternity pin.

Guerard To Speak at Installation Banquet — Dr. Albert Le6n Guerard, pro fessor of literature, Stanford, wil! ] be the speaker at the annual in stallation banquet of Phi Beta j Kappa and Sigma Xi to be held May 20, Dr. George Rebec, dean of the graduate school, announced yesterday. Dr. Guerard is the author of sev eral books, including “The Life and i Death of an Ideal,” and was on the Oregon campus during the 1931 summer session. In commenting on Dr. Guerard, Dr. Rebec said, “He is deeply in- 1 terested in movement of the world | along all lines including all things such as contemporary political and | economic events. His subject has not yet been announced, but he will probably deal principally with movements of the mind and ideas. Dr. Guerard occupies a position somewhat similar to what is re ferred to in Germany as a profes sor of culture history.” Mrs. Thomas, Visitor Mrs. W. H.

Squad While Oregon’s track and field athletes spent a day of rest Sat urday, the other four major cin der squads in the Pacific North west went into action in the first meets of the season. In Corvallis Hec Edmundson's Washington squad ran through a downpour of rain to score an easy 831-3 to 47 2-3 victory over Oregon State, while uj5 in Pullman, Washington State’s conference champs smoth ered the Idaho Vandals under a 114 to 17 count. Despite poor weather conditions in both meets, times were good. In the Corvallis meet, Mush Dun kin, Orange hurdler, provided the highlight of the day when he set up a new field record of 14.7 sec onds in the 120-yard high hurdles. He beat out the crack Husky stickers, Dan Bracken and Gene Frost, by more than a yard. Cougar athletes had a big day in turning back the Vandals. They scored clean sweeps in four events, the 440-yard dash, the pole vault, two two-mile run, and the discus throw. Dick Nichols won the quarter in 49.9 to set up a new meet record. Another mark went by the boards when Dunker, husky Cougar weightman, beat out his highly touted team mate, George Theodoratus, to win the shot put with a heave of 49 feet, 2 y2 in ches. Ken Wills, Washington State miler, turned in a good perform ance when he lapped the Pullman oval four times to turn in a 4:22 mile. Oregon meets Washington Sat urday in Seattle, and the outcome of this meet will determine the squad in the Northwest capable of challenging the Cougars’ suprem acy.
