North Bend, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, Eugene and Springfield. Elkton was chosen as a meeting place because of its centrally to , cated position. I The big point of discussion centered around the Eugene High School football team and bow it fitted Jn to the newly re-districted I district S. Eugene took a new stand as to Its position, after an alool withdrawal from the league in 1951. Briefly in retrospect, the Eug ene principal stated in 1951 that his school was interested in a good schedule rather than in being considered for the district title. He continued mat Eugene would waive consideration of the latter, if necessary, to get the kind of schedule it wanted at Eug ene High. The league rules stated that each team in the district must play 1444 NORTH STEPHENS PHONE 3-7434 IVAN EDWARDS lit Class Construction Contracting or .

At the Thursday meeting, Eug ene was more than willing to dis cuss entry into the district, in spite of a "good" schedule. Other school representatives voted to allow Eugene in, if possible, it appears that Eugene baa a two year contract with the schools played last year and only has one open date on which to play Rose burg. That open date is Sept. 12 on which Roseburg is contracted to play Springfield in the opening dis trict game. Roseburg's only open date is Sept. 26, Springfeld is free only on Oct. 10. The juggling pro cess to get these dates in some pattern of coincidence was not set tled, but efforts will continue to straighten schedules in order to include Eugene. A step toward including other sports ui the same districts as football was revealed with the announcement that baseball dis trict' S would include Roseburg, Eugene, Cottage Grove and Spring field.
