By JACK BRYANT
It was on the nationally famous Rogue river in Oregon that the law,
in the form of a game warden, approaehed a grizzled, leather-faeed
veteran fisherman and asked to see his license.
The warden was surprised to learn, according to the license, that he
was talking to a green-haired, 160-year-old man, with red eyes, who
was nine feet tall and weighed 180 pounds. The name was Bill Hayward.
rrtin nncuror tiroes oocstr* t?ill nv_ - ____ .
plained that he felt as though he
had been fishing for more than a
hundred years. The rest was a
prank which had been played upon
the ardent sportsman by a friend
who had filled out the license ap
plication.
There is but a small part of the
colorful career of the veteran Bill
Hayward who is completing his
thirty-fourth year at this Univer
sity as track coach and trainer.
Widely Traveled
Of French-Canadian descent, he
spent his first eighteen years in his
home land, but since has traveled
over the United States, Australia,
and Kurope, during his seventy
years. As an athlete, he joined the
professional ranks traveling with
fairs and competing for prizes.
In one of these, Hayward enter
ed 22 events, mostly running, and
won nearly $4000 in one day. On
the same day, he entered a three
mile rowing contest in which he
held his own with fresher competi
tors.
Among his many athletic exper
iences, Hayward mured the coun
t>y with “Gentleman” Jim Cor
bett as a sparing partner in exhi
bitions, and this was before Cor
bett’s bare-knuckle battle with
John L. Sullivan.
Hard Fighter
Bill was something of a fighter
himself and was rated as one of
the best in his division. In one
fight he had his man going, but
when he delivered the knockout
blow he broke his arm. “I didn’t
itn^w it until nearly a month after
wards,” Bill said as he displayed
tne arm which has an unusual kink
at the wrist.
He started his long career as
trainer at Princeton, then followed
service at Annapolis, University of
California, Pacific University and
Albany college. He was asked to
work here at Oregon as coach and
trainer for the sum of ?150, not
including expenses. After two sea
sons, Bill was put in charge of the
men's and women's physical educa
tion departments.
In 1916 after leading the Univer
sity to 11 championships in 12
years, the yearbook was dedicated
to him and banquets were given to
honor him. He was responsible
for the wonderful condition that

the 1920 Rose Bowl football tean
was in which gave Oregon its vie
tory that year.
Coached Fire Teams
Besides his school athletics, Bil
was coach of city fire team anc
turned out several good hose
wagon teams.
Nearing his seventieth birthday
Hayward says, “I have lived a won
derful, full life and if I had it t(
live over I would choose the sami
course. I enjoy being with youngei
people. I have seen all the coach'
ing staffs come and never realizes
that I was getting old until son;
of my former students began tc

I am now I owe to the younget
boys who have kept me young.''
10-Seeond Man
He was one of the greatest al
around athletes of all times, 10
second man in the hundred, and a
star in almost every other event.
During his time h§ has been a
star in boxing, wrestling, golf, foot
ball, fishing, track, hockey, row
ing, lacrosse, rugby, basketball,
and other sports.
When Bill came to Oregon in
1904 Student Manager Virgil Earl
thought of him as an old man. But
found out differently. Hayward
was just as much a kid as anyone
else.
Trains Olympic Stars
Bill has been almost a perma
nent fixture with the Olympics. In
the 1924 Olympics, which were
held in Sweden, Hayward decided
to get a picture of the king. This
was strictly forbidden.
After waiting a long time, Bill
finally got a poor picture of the
king but wasn’t satisfied. Again
he waited in front of the palace
expecting the ruler to come out be
decked in braids and parapherna
lia. The only person he saw was a
small man in a sack suit. He was
surprised to learn afterwards that
the man was the king.
Named “Colonel”
It was in 1928 that the Oregon
team went south to play Miami.
Captain McEwan of West Point
was football coach and had the
i ha'oit of calling everyone by a ti
• tie.
When the team traveled south
they would stop and practice on
[ army fields. McEwan would in
I troduce his assistants and friends
■ as “sergeant,” “lieutenant,” and
when he came to Bill he had near
ly run out of titles. In fact, “Colo
nel” was about the only one left,
, so Trainer Bill Hayward was in
, troduced as “colonel” wherever
. the team went. Since that time he
has been “Colonel” Hayward to
persons who have never guessed
the truth.
One of his hobbies is photogra
phy. He has photographs plastered
around his office, in stacks of al
bums, and a plentiful supply else
where. Recently nearly 2,000 state
college students invaded the cam
pus celebrating their football vic
tory over the University. The al
ready outraged University students
were rapidly disposing of the in
vadei's in the chilly waters of the
mill race which runs through the
campus. Bill was in the midst of
the action with his movie camera
getting some clever action shots.
Friend of Champions
Perhaps no one person has had
as many friends in the sports.field
as Old Bill. Jim Thorpe, John L.
Sullivan, Knute Rockne, Pop War
ner, Amos Alonzo Stagg, and hun-■
dreds of others all over the United
States and i Europe have known
him.
His teams have held every rec- j
ord in the Northwest conference:
and several have held national and
world titles.
Bill Hayward has established a
record at Oregon which isn’t
touched by any track coach in the
country. He has retained his posi- j
lion at the “largest single factor
in the hostory of athletics on the
Pacific slope,” which was attribut- !
ed to him in 1911.
He says that he is writing a book
of his life which will soon be com
plete. However, you would have a
hard time convicing his friends
that the last chapter will never
be written.

It seems we were caught with
cur respective shirt tails showing
when the Rex decided to hold over
"The Hurricane,” while we failed
to note the change. So, to rectify
matters, that which follows is a
preview on a picture most of you
have seen. But perhaps a few of
you are “Rex Gangsters” who revel
in Saturday matinees. To you
then, friends this is directed and
dedicated.
“Hurricane” differs little in plot
from the ordinary South Sea ro
mance. But in the other fields (di
recting. setting, action, drama) it
is decidedly superior. Moreover, it
has a native Apollo and Venus in
Jon Hall and Dorothy Bamour,
whose loops and 1 combs, ooo-la, la.
These two natives of the Isle of
Mauulviira manage to stir\i\e un
just law—French system of na
tive rule—and rampant in nature
—a hurricane Mowing through 20
minutes of film time. And when
things aro quite and peaceful,
there are some beautiful panoramic
scenes. If you have exen a dash of
, imagination yon can relax, forget
about rainy Oregon, and imagine
yourself hide-tanning.
■' it's a stow away above LUe av
erage; moreover, the other feature,
"Change of Heart," isn’t nearly as
boresome as the usual run of sec
ond features.

i! Editing Studen tsHigh
In Recent Time Quiz
By BILL SCOTT
Dean Eric W. Allen's editing class made the highest score in the
latest Time magazine quiz on current events given to all classes in
the journalism school.
The quiz, sent out by Time, weekly news magazine, once a month
and semi-annually, coverered a half year period. The quiz covered
developments of the past six months. ’
Matt Kramer, senior in journalism, made an 88, the highest score
itiivuv* hi tut 1 UC CUlLUIg «Jl£taS,
senior journalism majors, had the
highest class average, 66.6. In
1 second place was Prof. George
Turnbull's copy editing class with
an average of 51.2.
Surprise of the quiz was the
high rating of Turnbull's .10
o'clock elementary journalism sec
tion which placed third, with a
50.97 average. The journalism
class, composed mostly of fresh
man students, won out over two
upper division courses, publishing
and reporting. The publishing and
reporting classes had 50.5 and 47.33
averages.
The two journalism sections
taught by Prof. Charles M. Hulten
I'
had averages of .42.52, in the 9
o’clock section, and 39.7 in the 8
o'clock. It appears that the stu
dents grow brighter later in the
morning.
According to Dorothy Dill, sec
retary of the journalism school, the
test is just a two-day headache be
cause She and her assistant must
compile the data for the chart Of
the results which is posted on the
journalism building bulletin board.
The quizzes do not count on the
student's grade but the professors
regard them as a good way for the
students to test their newspaper
reading and knowledge of current
affairs.

Psychology School
Produces In ven tor
Teachers are sometimes of an inventive turn of mind, as was
proved when E. H. Porter, graduate assistant in the school of psy
chology, proudly displayed an old and battered chair in his office.
“It’s really a marvel,” he said.
The chair was a large brown one which looked as though the
stuffing would fall out at any mo
ment. The only outstanding thing
about it consisted of several pieces
if board attached to the base in
such a way that when it is pushed
nit it forms a foot-rest.
“This is real art,” he purred, as
he demonstrated the use of his in
vention.
A string attached to the footrest
on the left hand side of the chair
is used to pull it back in place.
