*Duc& 'J’ladbi “Pfal fo4*44*\ I alented athletes representing high schools in all sectors of the Northwest will meet Friday and Saturday for a track meet honoring the memory of one of the greatest figures of (Jrcgon athletic history. His name, of course, was Colonel William Hayward, and the cinder meet will be the annual Hayward Relays on Hayward Field, Haywards highly-succcssful coaching methods brought na tional fame to the athletes of the i 'Diversity of Oregon. Mans of l‘H tr.uk stars competed in the Olympic games. Molded Moeller Haring his 44-year tentire as Oregon track coach, Havward developed some of the greatest athletes ever seen on the Pacific t oast . . . Han Kelley . . . F.d Moeller . . . (ieorge Y a ruf f . . , I,cs SteCis . . . < ieorge Rasmussen . . , the list goes on anti on. Hayward’s third season at Eugene (1906) featured the bril liant performances of the great Dan Kelley, who broke the world record in the 100-yard dash and then shattered the 220 ^ yard dash record during the same season. Hayward took Kelley to the 1908 Olympics at London and entered him in one event the broad jump. Versatile Kelley went into action—and took second place! Hayward journeyed to Stockholm for the next Olympic gath ering two years before a murderer .at Sarajevo precipitated de velopments which generally inconvenienced most of the people of the world, including Olympic Haines directors. Oregon’s Mar tin Haw kins placed third in the high hurdles during the 1912 affair. Hayward rarely missed the Olympic Games, but he didn't produce another world record-breaker until Ed Moeller set a new mark for the discus in 1929. Another universal record toppled in 1936. Although many peo ple believe that (ieorge Rasmussen is the greatest pole vaulter ever seen in Oregon colors, he never reached the heights attain ed by Hayward’s George YarofT, who jumped 14’6l/;>” fur a new record in 1936 and went up to fourteen feet and seven and live eighths inches during the following season. Steered Steers Hayward came up with another "find” mi 1941 as Webfoot Les Steers high-jumped 6 feet and 11 inches for a world record per formance w hich has never been equalled. Hayward also contributed to the development of Rasmussen, who vaulted to the NCAA co-championship in 1947 and again in 1948. Another Hayward pupil, Boyd Brown, won the National A.A.U. javelin crown in 1939, 1940, 1941, and 1942. Inciden tally, Brown holds the Northern Division record (223 feet, 6 inches), although Oregon s Chuck Missfeldt threatens to set a new mark during the present season. Missfeldt unleashed a brilliant toss (225 feet, 11 and three fourths inches) during the Willamette Relays two weeks ago. but this performance, unusual under any conditions but addi tionally surprising so early in the season, does not find a place •Til the Northern Division record books. Missfeldt Missed Missfeldt was restricted by a strong cross-wind during’ the Duck-Husky meeting at Seattle last Saturday, hut he managed to hurl the spear 194 feet, 5 inches. Even Missfeldt is profiting from Hayward's encyclopedia of track knowledge. Missfeldt’s coach, Bill Ilowerman, acquired natch of his cinder-savvy from his college mentor, who was none other than old Colonel Bill himself. Bowerman, in addition to running the. middle-distance events for Bill Hayward’s powerful track aggregations, also performed on the gridiron under the watchful eye of Clarence W. “Doc” Spears. Bowerman highlighted his pigskin career with a brilliant 87-yard touchdown gallop against the 1931 Washington Huskies as Oregon won 13-0. The present Duck track tutor also played Prosit basketball at Oregon, served as vice-president of the student body, and was a member of Friars, a senior honorary. In addition, he was a member of Alpha Kappa Psi (men’s national commerce honorary). Phi Delta Kappa (men’s na tional education honorary), Sigma Delta Psi, Scabbard and Blade, and Order of the O. Bowerman also was sports editor of the Emerald, and he wrote a lively and interesting daily column. His ingenuity was quite evident—he ended one of his columns with this unusual •dibit of “poetry”: “Well this ain’t so hot. Pardon me while I stop. I prefer hashish to Ogden gnashes.” Unless we are sadly mistaken, tomorrow’s Emerald will in clude excerpts from the Works of Bowerman, McCall Named Top Speaker For Breakfast Mr*. R, C.
