1908 THOMAS TOURING CAR

teredo among the 32 contestants -in
a 450-mile endurance run. : ,
: Four Thomas Forties finished
with perfect scores not "nearly,
perfect" or merely "mechanically
perfect," ; but absolutely : perfect.
Not an adjustment, not a sln-
le .nut, touched on the lone:, .
ard, racking, 450-mile trip. t
There is a reason for this,vand the man who. will carefully investigate the Thomas Forty can readily, see' and

STAY ATI1SITY
Famous Trainer Will Pass
Up Tempting Offers for
: Oregon; University.
'1 would rather stay with the state
university for tie salary I iq retting
-.as physical .-ractotthatt..jW;3n.yJ
other college for more money."
' 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. If the people-agree
with the arguments of the Xlnn county
grange and the college has to close its
doors for want of financial support,
, Hayward will be compelled to beat It to
some other nlaca. . '.
, Hayward (s the greatest trainer that
ever came to tnis coast, notwitnst&na
lng the reputations achieved by ")ad"
- Moulton and Cristy, In the California
colleges. He "rave A. C. Gilbert the
f vaulting form that enabled him to break
.-- a world's record at Tale. He brought
Dan Kelly from obscurity and made hlra
? the greatest sprinter in the world. For
tnese two feats alone he should become
lamous. j.
He has been - extremnlv u'ecessful
with young athletes. His freshmen at
' the university this year have been ex
traordlnary ... performers, many -times
wlnnlnar over veterans, tf he remains
-- at the university next year ' and has
about the same bunch of men as this
j year there will undoubtedly be some
new moral maoe next season. .
