COACH HAL HATTON BOOSTED BY GREGOR Y IN SPORTS COLUMN HATTON SAID TO BE PINCH hitter in football . Gregory Says: “Hal Hatton Becomes Coach at Hermiston, So Now Watch Football Hum There. Harold Hatton, graduate of the University of Oregon, and Pendle ton high school, elected to coach in the Hermiston high school next school year, comes highly recom mended by sports writers acquaint ed with those most prominent in the realm of athletics. In Saturday’s Oregonian the entire column of "Gregory’s Sport Gossip" was devo ted to Hal Hatton. We reprint the article for the benefit of our read ers. ”1 read the other day that Her miston high school in eastern Ore gon has elected Harold Hatton, the ex-University of Oregon fullback un der Captain John J. McEwan, as its football coach. Unless Hal has changed vastly In the four seasons since he hung up his varsity suit, that means the Hermiston kids will learn some football. Also, they'll have lots of fun. And unless I miss my guess, based on what Hal used to do himself, a good many of their games will be sensational victories pulled out of the fire in the last few minutes of play. Hal was a sweet pinch hitter in football. Both when he played for Pendleton high and at Oregon, he was one of the lads who rises to occasions. Always at his best with the going hardest. Foot ball teams, especially high school teams, reflect the personalities of their coaches, so 3912328523512 miston.

I If, aa I suspect, he threw it away, he could still fiddle sweetly on a borrowed instrument. “A long time ago when Hal was running around Pendleton just out of knee pants, he took up the study of the violin. Did nicely, too. Learn ed to play some lovely scales and to saw tunefully at the opening bars of "O Sole Mio.” For a few back strokes he could even hold the lilt ing strains of the fox-trot in "The Arkansas Traveler.” Hal gave one notable violin con cert. A private concert, to cheer the pillow of an ill schoolboy friend. The Idea of this concert for the no ble purpose mentioned originated with Hal’s brother Dee, who nomi nated himself a sort of combination manager-impressario for the young virtuoso. As far as it went, the concert was a grand success, though I regret to add it had to be chopped off amid ships. Hal had progressed through his fifth set of scales and was about to start on "O Sole Mio" when the friend suffered so violent a relapse that Hal and Dee were rushed from the sick room. After this experience Hal abandoned the violin, but un doubtedly could pick up where he left off and master the remainder of "O Sole Mio,” should the emergency arise. Such, for instance, as In the dressing room between halves. If he felt a little music would stimulate the boys. "Hal was one of those natural "money players.” Eastern Oregon never produced an athlete who so unfailingly could come through in the pinch in almost any old sport. Nor is there any concealed joker to that remark. I meant it seriously. "Just one instance—swimming.
