» f939 « THE COACH . - . Coquille High, this year had the exceptional luck to secure for its coach, E. E. Leslie. Mr. Leslie, more generally known as “Spike,” has had wide experience in both playing and coaching and already has proved his ableness in both. “Spike” joined the Coquille High School faculty this fall. Although supposedly retired from active coaching, he consented to fill the vacancy unexpectedly left by Hal Hatton. Coach Leslie played football in Sacramento, California, for two years before his family moved to Coquille. After his arrival in Coquille, he played as fullback for the Red Devils. He played the position of tackle on the Oregon Team during his sophomore, junior and senior years, and with the team in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, California. Since he graduated from college, “Spike” has served as Freshman Coach at Oregon, Coach at Montclair State Teachers College in New Jersey and Assistant Coach at Pennsylvania State. This year is “Spike’s” first year at Coquille High, as coach, and it has been the most successful year, in football especially, that Coquille has had for several years. During the football season Coquille played seven games of which they lost one. That game was lost to North Bend, who went undefeated throughout the entire season. Coach Leslie produced a fairly successful basketball team. However he introduced a new system of playing which proved rather difficult to the boys, and the season was half over before their winning began. While we only placed third in the county, the coach has a lot cf excellent material which, with his coaching, should produce a championship team next year. “Spike’s” track team proved the most successful of all, however, when it defeated Marshfield in a dual meet. 84 to 38. and then took the county meet at Myrtle Point. In baseball Coquille surprised the other schools in the county by walking away with the annual baseball tournament held in Coquille. Coquille payed three games in the tournament, and swamped all opponents by large scores. In the last game, played to decide the championship, the Red Devils defeated Myrtle Point, 17 to 5. Although he has been here only a year, the results he has produced have given us reason to believe that Coach Leslie will bring forth many more excellent athletic teams in the future.

» J-aurrl « THE SQUAD FOOTBALL . . . Coach “Spike’’ Leslie’s first season at Coquille was one of the most successful experienced by the school for the past several years. The conference race was a dog fight during the 1938 season and the outcome was very much in doubt until the Coquille-North Bend game in which North Bend won the championship by a score of 32 to 13. In the first game of the year against Newport at Newport the Red Devils demonstrated an amazing amount of drive and an equally amazing passing attack but very little finesse in beating Newport’s team 19 to 0. On October 1 the rapidly improving Red Devil team outfought, outplayed, and outscored an inexperienced Marshfield eleven by a score of 28 to 6. Not until Coach Leslie had all his reserves in, were the Pirates able to get inside the Red Devils’ 30-yard line. With two well earned victories to their credit the Red Devils next turned their guns on the Myrtle Point Bobcats. After a rough and tumble, knock down and drag out game the Red Devils came out on top with a 20 to 0 win. Coquille was never seriously pressed throughout the whole game. The fourth game of the season was played against the Tigers of Bandon. Leading by only one point at halftime, the Red Devils snapped out of their sluggishness to score 28 points in 9 minutes and win by a score of 35 to 6.
