UNDER THE BLEACHERS
By Mark Seeley
Under the bleachers .............
—
Two or three handsful of fans
glimpsed Coquille's Red Devils Mon­
day evening in a test for Hal Hat­
ton’s team against the Bill’s Place
quintet. And at the end of the eve­
ning’s play, the fans were all in
agreement that the high school boys
“have something there.” Bill’s Place
went down by a count of 26 to 17v
This win for the Red Devils is the
second in as many frays this season,
Arago losing to the locals, 38 to 35,
last week.
Though Bill’s Place has not had
the conditioning opportunities en­
joyed by the high school, this fact
should in no way take any color
from the 26 to 17 win. The red and
white handled the ball better, shot
with more accuracy and produced
points by means of fine passing on
the most part. Teamwork in -all but
a few instances dominated the play
of the youngsters.
Naturally Bill’s Place will be
stronger in a week or two. Then the
independents might be masters, ex­
perience proving to be too much of a
barrier for the red and white. But
Monday night Hatton’s lads showed
much.
Hatton has a squad of twenty casaba
handlers.
Noteworthy is the fact
that among this number which, in-
eludes the “A” and “B” teams, fif-
■ieen-of—the--total are Ffeshnien or
Sophomores. Of the boys who saw
As for the Bill’s Place group, the
Coquille independent club which will
combat other town teams and trav­
eling outfits, the situation was aptly
summedf up by Bill Fortier, himself,
when he said, “My boys need a few
more stiff practice sessions." This is
true, and a few more sessions may
produce a fast team in the Bili”s
Place ranks.

Manager Harold Stevens has ar­
ranged a game with Hansen's Con­
tractors of Marshfield in the Com­
munity Hall Monday evening, while
Thursday a trip will be made to meet
the strong Myrtle Point quintet.
Stevens gave me a list of eleven
players on the club. Several are
newcomers, replacing many of the
old standbys who have forsaken the
game or have departed. Of the new­
comers Charlee Kash is a former cen­
ter at St. Mary’s College; Jim Duffy
is a Bonneville and Roseburg for­
ward; Vic Bean, another forward,
comes from La Grand; Bill Walker,
guard, was a 1937 Red Devil; Lee
Collier, forward, is an Arago prod­
uct, and Eddie Moore has seen action
as a Coquille high forward.
