Webfoots Colonel Hayward Bows Out As Oregon Enters ND Meet Colonel Bill Hayward sends his last team northward today, as the University of Oregon Webfoots entrain for Seattle and the northern division track and field finals on Saturday. Hay ward fielded his last team on the field that bears his name— Hayward field—May 17 and recorded a decisive win over his bitter valley rival, Oregon State. And it will be with the thought of “winning the last one for Bill” that the Oregon cinder squad will enter the Seattle meet. Hayward is forced to retire at the end of the current season be cause of a state board age regula tion, but he will be on hand next year in an advisory position. Oregon's chances of winning top honors in the ND finals are very slim. Favored to win are the Washington Huskies with Wash ington State in the darkhorse role. The ailing arm of Lou (Rocky) Robinson may hold the fate of the Webfoots. He is the only man in the northern division to exceed the 200-foot mark, but two weeks ago reported an arm injury that has prevented him from extending himself since that time, and he will not make the trip. In the. 1946 finals it was the failure of the Ducks in the jav elin department that lost them a victory ns they, finished nine tcnths of a point b e h i n d the winners. Bill Kydd captured a win for Oregon, hut Holiinson (who had been tossing the spear for just a few weeks) and Dick Shelton, who had a sore arm, failed to place. Grandstand coaches have al ready labeled the final event of the’ afternoon the mile relay as the decisive event. Washington State is favored to win with a best mark thus far of 3:21.4. Oregon rates a third but may be capable of an upset should Hayward and Assistant Coach John Warren have their sprinters in top form. No comment has been made at track headquarters, but Jake Leicht leading off, Dave Hen thorne running anchor, and Wally Still, Carl Maxey, Hal White, and gtu Norene available to run the -No. 2 and 3 spots, Oregon may rate a good chance of winning the event. Top events for the Ducks should be the sprints with at least two places in the 100 and" 220. It is not certain that Henthorne will run the 440, but should Hayward so choose, the Klamath Falls speedster may give WSC's Joe Nebolon his stiffest competition of the year. With Javelin Tosser Robinson definitely staying home, sprinter Jake Leicht was the only doubtful man late last night. Leicht, de fending champion in both sprints, has been bothered with a pulled muscle and has worked little since the Oregon State meet. He may work out lightly today before Hay ward makes his decision as to in cluding hint on the traveling squad. Tim 1 raveling squad as an nounced last night included Hen t home. Still, Maxey.
