WILL SHOW MOVING PFC-
TURES OF CONTEST.

A glimpse of the Oregon Washing.
ton football game of last season
which was the hardest and most sem
sational game played in the north

pie tonight when William Hayward,
physical director at the University OF
Oregon unwinds his reel In the high

Hayward, who Is perhaps the best
known trainer in the west and whose
methods have long kept the U. of o.
supreme on the track and field for
many years will speak upon the mod
ern trend of physical culture in the
schools. He Is contending for sys-
tenn of physical instruction that Will
benefit the entire student body in
stead of making a demand upon the

rut into effect at the university. While
it Is still the strongest and most Wig
orous men who get in the limelight'
the weaker are getting the same at
tention and are having Just as much
sport II not as much glory.
The speaker will illustrate his lee
ture with stercopticon slides and with
moving pictures taken by himself Be-
sides the Oregon-Washington game
he will show, by the movie method
the proper form OF jumping. running
and pole vaulting. "Bill' makes no
claims to being an orator but he IL
an authority upon his subject and
what he says is well worth hearing
both by the boys and the girls and
their parents.
