Swim Coach Vacates Post ForEducatsop By BILL STRATTON Mike Hoyman, varsity and freshman swimming coach at Oregon for seven years, who has led Webfoot tank teams to four northern division crowns and three mythical Pacific coast ti tles, announced his resignation from that post yesterday. In a letter to Anse B. Cor nell, he stated: “Under the pres ent setup I am being hampered in my professional development and advancement in the field of school health education, because of coaching duties. My relations with the ASUO and with the —» swimmers has been so cordial during the past 10 years that it is with regret that I find this step necessary.” Hoyman's Record Hoyman has a most enviable record. His teams have won more championships, and he has turned out more stars than any other coach on the Pacific coast. Only in 1934 and the 1041 season did his team fail to win the northern division flag. In 1934 they won the dual meet title, but failed in the conference meet, and placed second in the division in 1941. One of his most enviable was leading the mermen to vic tory over.the highly-famed Olym pic club. They had not been beat en in five years, and the Ore gon squad eked out a 38 to 37 win over them on their trip south this season. Division Meet In the northern division meet, Oregon amassed 88 points, the closest contender being Wash ington with 30. This was the first time such a score had been made in that meet and was also the first time any northern di vision team had taken evqptf first place. Perhaps one reason for Hoy man’s continual success, is the fact that he is never beaten on paper. Before the Washington meet this year, Oregon was a decided underdog, but Hoyman couldn’t agree. He remarked that no team could beat him on pa per; they had to do it in the pool. Hoyman was absent during 1939 and 1940, when the coach ing duties were taken over by Ned Johns and Russ Cutler. No statement has been made as to who will be his successor, and no appointment is expected until the athletic board meets April 13. ’’I*’’ H.S. Hoyman’s Book Published, Distributed The second volume of "Develop ing Health Instruction in Oregon High Schools,” by H. S. Hoyman. assistant professor of physical education, and specialist in school health education, has been pub lished and distributed to Oregon high schools. The book deals “mostly with nu trition, first aid, and communica ble diseases, and affords a cur riculum guide for high school teachers and principals on nine najor health problems.
