# Owen Williams (tennis)

Owen Williams (born 23 June 1931) is a South African retired male tennis player and tournament director.
He was educated at the Selborne College, East London, Eastern Cape.
His best performance at a Grand Slam tournament was reaching the quarterfinals in the men's doubles at the 1954 Australian Championships and 1954 Wimbledon Championships, partnering Abe Segal and Trevor Fancutt respectively. His best singles performance was reaching the fourth round at the 1954 US Championships as the seventh–seeded foreign player. In the fourth round he lost in straight sets to Ham Richardson.
He retired from playing tennis in 1959 at the age of 27. After his playing career he became a tournament director. In the early 1960s he became the tournament director of the South African Tennis Championships. Under his directorship the tournament grew in popularity and stature and became one of the main tournaments on the tour. In early 1969, Williams became Tournament Director of the US Open at Forest Hills, the first full-time director in the tournament's history. That same year the African American tennis player Arthur Ashe requested a visa to participate in the South African Open but was denied by the South African authorities. In the following years he was again refused a visa, but in 1973 his visa application was finally granted and he accepted Williams' invitation to participate in the tournament on the condition that the spectator stands would be racially integrated. Afterwards Ashe and Williams established the Black Tennis Foundation aimed at making tennis accessible to every black child in South Africa. In 1981 Williams was hired as CEO of Lamar Hunt's World Championship Tennis (WCT) circuit and remained in that position until the WCT disbanded in 1990.
In addition to his tennis activities, Williams founded, owned and operated several businesses ventures including distributorships in Scotch whisky, chocolate liqueur and champagne, a sporting goods firm, a small publishing company and a public relations company. As part of the deal to sign Williams for the WCT organization, Lamar Hunt purchased his South African businesses in 1981.
In 1998, Williams partnered with chess legend Garry Kasparov to form Sports Management Strategies International in Palm Beach, Florida.

# Wally Hayward

Wallace Henry Hayward BEM (10 July 1908 – 28 April 2006) was a South African endurance athlete with a 60-year career. He became one of the greatest 100-mile runners in history. He won the Comrades Marathon five times and completed the distance of around 90 km the last time just before his eighty-first birthday.
He was born and died in Durban, South Africa. He died in 2006 just a few days before the annual Wally Hayward Marathon.

## Early life

As a teen, Hayward became an apprentice carpenter. A friend talked Hayward into taking a running job, to put in stakes for diamond mining claims. In 1927 at the age of 19, he joined a Boy’s Club and was invited to go running. In 1929, he read about the Comrades Marathon and wrote to the race director Vic Clapham. He was surprised to learn that the race was about 54–56 miles. He decided to enter the 1930 race.

## Comrades Marathon

He won the race for the first time on his first attempt in 1930 at age 21. In 1931 Hayward broke a bone in his foot while training for Comrades and was told by a doctor that some chest pain he was feeling was due to a strained heart. At age 23, he was told to never run again. He put running aside for a few years until a specialist told him the diagnosis was “rubbish” and told him to go home and put on his running shoes. By 1938 he was competing again.
Twenty years later he competed again and won it from 1950 to 1954, except for 1952 when he chose to rather represent South Africa at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. He finished tenth in the Olympic marathon event.
In 1951 and 1953 (first athlete under 6 hours) he broke the down-run record, and in 1954 he broke the up-run record and became the oldest man to win the race at age 45 (later overtaken by Vladimir Kotov in 2004).
In 1988 he returned once again to participate. He beat half the finishers with a time of 9h44m. In 1989, Wally finished 1min 57sec before the cut-off time at the age of 80. He held the record for the oldest finisher of the Comrades Marathon for 34 years, until it was broken in 2023 by Maros Johannes Mosehla.

## Other achievements

In 1953 he established records in the London to Brighton Marathon in 5:29:40, the Bath to London 100-miler in 12:20:28, and the 24-hour track race with 159 miles, 562 yards.
At the 1938 Empire Games in Sydney he won the bronze medal in the 6 miles competition and finished fourth in the three mile race.
Hayward fought in North Africa and Italy during World War II and in 1942 earned the British Empire Medal for bravery for his actions near El Alamein in Egypt.

## Personal life

Hayward married Gladys Catto in December 1934 and had one daughter, Gwenolyn in October 1935. They divorced in 1957. In 1971, Hayward married his second wife, Bertha Bland.

## Controversy

In 1953 he accepted a small donation towards his traveling while competing in Britain. The South African Athletics and Cycling Association declared him a professional, banning him from all amateur events. The ban was finally lifted in 1974.

# 1N4148 signal diode

The 1N4148 is a standard silicon switching signal diode. It is one of the most popular and long-lived switching diodes because of its dependable specifications and low cost. Its name follows the JEDEC nomenclature. The 1N4148 is useful in switching applications up to about 100 MHz with a reverse-recovery time of no more than 4 ns.

## History

Texas Instruments announced the 1N914 diode in 1960. It was registered at JEDEC by Texas Instruments no later than 1961, and was second-sourced by 11 manufacturers that same year.
The 1N4148 was registered at JEDEC in 1968 as a silicon switching signal diode for military and industrial applications. It was second-sourced by many manufacturers; Texas Instruments listed their version of the device in an October 1966 data sheet.
The 1N914 and 1N4148 have an enduring popularity in low-current applications.

## Overview

As the most common mass-produced switching diode, the 1N4148 replaced the older 1N914. They can be used interchangeably, and are cross-reference replacements for each other. They differed mainly in their leakage current specification, however, today most manufacturers list common specifications. For example, Vishay lists the same leakage current for both parts:
* 25 nA at -20 V, 25°C
* 5 μA at -75 V, 25°C
* 50 μA at -20 V, 150°C

### Packages

The JEDEC registered part numbers 1N914 and 1N4148 were originally only available in an axial package, but over time similar parts became available in surface-mount packages too.

#### Through-hole package

* 1N4148 in DO-35 glass axial package.

#### Surface-mount packages

* LL4148 in MiniMELF package.
* 1N4148W in SOD-123 package.
* 1N4148WS in SOD-323 package.
* 1N4148WT in SOD-523 package.
Note: Some 1N4148 family surface-mount packages are marked with "T4" text.
