COACH HAL HATTON

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

"Football isn’t the only sport in
which Hermiston Is likely to see ex
citing times Hal also coaches base-
ball, basketball, track and tn a
pinch could give lessons on the vio-
lin. 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. I
don't know if they have a swimming
pool at Hermiston, but If they have
