' This was the statement made the other day by William F, Hayward, the famous trainer of the University of Oregon track team. When asked whether . he had concluded to accept several tempting offers that had been made him In the west. - BUI, as he la known : to every athletic follower on the coast, admitted that he had received three or fotir nice propositions from eastern In stitutions, but the veteran trainer will not go east if he knows himself. - Washington state waa one of the col ; leges hot after Hayward, and made htm i an unusual offer: last fall, but 6111 paid little attention to It However, "on the occasion of his visit to Pullman with . tee track team the other day he was - again approached by Pullman students - in athletic authority who urged him to . accept, the offer made. , t But BUI likes Eugene and he ' will - In all probability remain there another year at least He Is the Idol of the ., collegians and mighty popular with the : townspeople. Of course a great deal . dependa . on the vote on the university appropriation bill.
