Lerer Say It's His Last Year as Coach
Linfield Henry Lever, who has done a splendid Job with the"

at coaching. Come the end of the semester and the gent who has
been the boss of the Wildcats almost as long as they have been a
part of McMinnville will call It quits. No. he won't leave Linfield.
He's merely Inactivating himself as a coach. "I'll rind something to
do around the campus," he'll tell you. "even If It's with a broom."
Ami we'll bet if it does come to that, of his own choosing of course,
he'll center operations near the ball diamond In the spring, the
football field in the fall and the gymnasium in the winter. . . . In

coach.
Officials of the organization
said that while' they didn't object
to Howell they did object to the
failure of university officials to
consult the association on their
choice of a coach.
"Idaho university is giving the
coaches the run around," said
Rulon Budge, president of the
Idaho Coaches association.
"The coaches are the ones who
will give the school athletes, but
the school turns around and pays
no attention to recommendations
of the association and go ahead
and appoint their own men,"
Budge asserted.
Association members expressed
the opinion that "under such cir
cumstances it doesn't pay to be
a good high school coach."
