Eugene high school football fans
were indignant today over the rul
ing of the suite high school nth-!
letic ..association that only fullj
lime teachers may coach football
fans were indignant today over the
ruling of the slate high school ath
letic association that only full time
teachers may coach football teams
at schools which are members of
the association.
Expectations are, however, that
Charles (Shy) Huntington, former
University of Oregon star and later
head coach at the university, will
be retained as coach of the Eu
gene high, school next year.
Huntington has a teacher's cer
tificate and probably will be em
ployed as a full time teacher to
comply with the athletic associa
tion's ruling.. The feeling hero
indicated that Eugene had been
legislated against, but the proba
bility is that the school would not
withdraw from the association. .;
PORTLAND, Ore. ;Dec. il.lP)
John L. GhrV, secretary 'of the
Oregon High School Athletic as
sociation, denied that the associa
tion had rescinded any rule re
garding the Illegality of using
legal guardianship as a means or
evading eligibility rules of the as
sociation. The denial was issued following
nppearance in eastern Oregon
newspaiwrs to the effect that the
rule, when Hnker high was sus
pended from the state association
recently, had been repealed in the
sourse of the annual association
convention here over the week
end; -
Oary said the confusion prob
ably was due to the fact that -two
amendments to the constitution of
the state athletic body were pro
posed nt the convention, both of
them dealing with "legal guardian
ship," but no action was taken.
