Bowerman To Get Bill Hayward Award Oregon track Coach Bill Bowerman has been selected as winner of the 1951 Bill Hayward Trophy by the Oregon Sports Broadcasters, and will be formally presented with the honor at a banquet Monday, April 21 at the Colmubia Athletic Club in __ Portland. BILL BOWERMAN The trophy is given in recog nition of his outstanding con tribution to amateur sports in Oregon for the year 1951. He is the first coach to win the four - year - old award, which was presented in 1950 to Chuck Holloway, leader of the Ore gon AAU. Bowerman is entering his fourth season as Oregon track coach, and his record is high lighted by a Northern Division crown won by his team in 1950. Asked for his reaction, Bow erman stated Wednesday night that he felt “very flattered." "I would have picked this award over any other, had I been in a position to choose, because of the connection with Colonel Bill Hayward,"he said. Bowerman performed as a 440 yard runner for the late and revered Coach Hayward at Oregon in the early 1930's, and it was upon Hayward’s recommendation that Bowerman took over the track job when the former retired in 1949. Bowerman also was a football end and letterman at Oregon; also he was vice-president of the student body and sports editor of the Emerald. His first year of coaching was at Franklin high school of Portland in 1935. After a year there, he moved to Medford high school, where his track and football teams were perenial state contenders. In World War II, Bowerman saw service as a major in the 10th mountain troops in Italy, and returned to Medford until called to the Duck post. He has also acted as frosh football coach at Oregon.
