Hawley played both rugby and football for the Bears from 1961-65 and is known as one of the best American-born rugby players to ever play the game … tabbed “King of the Lineouts,” Hawley helped revolutionize the game with his tremendous aerial skills … playing for the legendary Miles “Doc” Hudson, the 6-4 Hawley led Cal to an undefeated record vs. U.S. competition in 1965 and to a 5-2-2 mark during a team trip to Australia and New Zealand when rugby experts predicted the Cal squad would go winless on its tour … on the football field, he was an accomplished defensive back and wide receiver who caught a long pass for a touchdown to beat Iowa State in 1963.
