EUGENE HIGH TO STAY WITH ASSOCIATION KirOHNl'l, Ore.,- JJec. 30 ' (A P) Kugeng 'high school football fans wero indignant touay over me rui Ing of the stalo high school athletic association that only full time teachers muy coach football teams at schools which are members of the association. Kxpectntlons are, however, that Charles (Hhy) Huntington, former t'niverslty of Oregon slar and later head coach at the university, will be retained an coach of the Eugene high school next year. Huntington has a teacher's ct' tiflcate and probably will bo cm- ployed as a full time teacher to ; comply with the athletic assocla- illon's ruling. The feeling here in- lated against, but tho probability Is that the school would not with draw from tho association.
