Ellery Charles 'Shy' Huntington was a quarterback and later multi-sport coach at the University of Oregon.
Playing and coaching career
Huntington began his football career as a quarterback and safety at the University of Oregon. He was the critical player in Oregon's Rose Bowl upset over heavily favored Pennsylvania in 1917, throwing a touchdown pass and intercepting three passes on defense as the Ducks won 14-0. [1] Huntington took over as head coach for the Ducks in 1918, and he remained at the helm for six seasons. He finished with a 26-12-6 record. In 1920, he coached the Ducks to a Rose Bowl berth; they lost to Harvard, 7-6. [2] He served as Oregon's baseball coach in 1919 and 1920, [3] and he coached the basketball team for one season, 1919-1920, achieving a record of eight wins and nine losses. [4]
