IMoie than five hundred trackmen, representing virtually
evei} school in the state, are expected to enter the eighth an
nual Hayward relays to be held this afternoon at 1 p.m. on
Hav\\ ai d field. I he event will draw the best trackmen in the
state; individual competition in the pole vault, discus, broad
jump, football throw, and 100-yard dash is provided in addition
to the 15 lelays in the A, B, and C events, the relays, a brain
child of Col. Bill Hayward, will become a permanent fixture
at the I diversity and at present the Hayward relays surpass
anv' event on the west coast of a similar nature.
■*C°1- Kil1 fashioned the relays after the famous Penn relays
in the east and although competition is limited to Oregon high
school athletes the event has gained nationwide attention.
Three divisions, class A, B, and C, have been established
and schools are classified on the basis of enrollment. Class A.
500 or more students; class B, 150 to 500 students, and class C,
under 150 enrollment.
No Admission Charge
There will be no admission charge and everyone in attend
ance is assured of a first class meet. The Eugene high school
band will provide the music, and events are scheduled to start
at 1 p.m. Relay competition will begin after an address by
4fcting President Orlando J. Hollis at 2 p.m.
Officials in charge of the relays are instructed to clear the
track of all nonparticipants. High school contestants should
sit in their assigned area until their particular event is called,
according to Col. Hayward. These rules should be observed by
everyone because the relays are scheduled to the exact minute
and unless the rules are observed the meet will become a long
and drawn-out affair.
Hayward Relay Records
Two class A records and one class B record fell to the way
side last year when Jefferson and Grant, both of Portland, set
new marks in the distance and sprint medley and Mollala an
_nexed the distance medley in the B division. There is some
doubt as to whether any new marks will be set today but in
any case the fellows can try to beat an}' of the following- times
or distances.
