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. White,
Norene, Bill Furceil. John Jo
achims. Fete Mundle, W y n
Wright, Jack Doyle. Bill Beifuss,
fierce Brown, Skiles Hoffman,
George Kassmusseii, Don FicU
ens, Jim Forter. and Dick Mc
tJintoe.
