Ernest Barnes Honored At University of Arizona When University of Arizona at Tucson held its 44th annual University Week activities on May 9 and 10 Ernest L. Barnes, retired Medford in surance claims adjuster, was the honored guest. Barnes, member of the Class of 1913, at Arizona, and a track star in his own right, originated University Week in 1912. Last week end's activi ties were dedicated to him. "I don't really remember how I got the idea," Barnes told Abe" Chanin, Arizona Daily Star writer. "I was founder and editor of the uni versity newspaper ... and I was writing sports for the . . . Star. "I just figured we didn't have enough sports in the state. There were only four or five high schools in the Ari zona Territory in '11. I talked to anyone who would listen and the next year I got the okay to go ahead and bring the high school kids in for baseball and track. They also had some singing, sewing and spelling contests. But I wasn't interested in that. "I wanted the kids to know the university better and I guess the idea took hold." Phoenix Declared Winner Barnes recalled that things did not go so well the first year. He said the Phoenix high coach complained that Tempe had ineligible athletes. It was decided to let Tempe complete with a ruling to be made afterward. The committee left the deci sion up to Barnes. Phoenix and Tempe tied for the track laurels. The Medford adjustor had "a pretty keen eye for trap athletes even in those days" and decided that Phoe nix should have the title The Medford man was the university's half-miler and ran anchor on the relay team. He is modest about his ability. In 1907, running for Prescott, Ariz., high, he toured the half in 2:10. Barnes allowed that it was a pretty good time for those days. "At least, nobody could beat me in the Arizona terri tory. I guess the opposition was weak." Best in Nation Chanin points out, however, that Barnes' time was the best for a prep runner in the na tion that year. 1 In addition to the athletic events of the first University Week, oratory, algebra and music were added. This year the high school, representa tives coming to" 'the campus were entered in baseball, track, tennis, golf, gymnastics and smallbore rifle rivalry. Barnes, who spent his early life in South America and the West Indies, completed gram mar school education at Pres cott. He entered University of Arizona in 1909.
