league for the calendar year o
Basketball, baseball, track and
football-clear around the athletic
circle-all were won by the Fife
Trojans.
And all were coached by Bill
vinson. He must be a miracle
man.
But winning championships
and lots of them-is nothing new
10 Bill Vinson.
Tacoma and state high
school sport fans first heard
OF Bill Vinson In 1891 when his
Raymond Seagulls lost to the
Stadium Tigers In the finals
of the state basketball tour
nament.
The next year Vinson was at
Eatonville. And soon. the Tacoma
sports editors had standing
headline:
EatOnville Wins Again
For six years Wilson's Eaton
vile eagers rolled the victories.
Four times did Eatonville win the
Pierce county title in those six
years and four times did the Vim
son basketeers annex the West
Central district honors in five
tries.
In state tournament competition,
only one Vinson quintet has failed
10 place. In 1882 Eatonville placed
sth in the Glass B tourney. In
1888 no tourney was held and Vim
son says this was his wonder"
team.
In 1895 Eatonville won its
first two state tourney tests,
then lost 24-22 10 Prescott
and 1926 TO Lynden, thus
taking 9Th place. In 1886 the
strength of Eatonyille was
nearly that of Valleys state
champions. Eatonville lost its
first game, 1892, TO Everett
in overtime.
Everett lost only to Valley by
32-51 tally and Eatonville won
all the rest 10 take 5th place. The
} 1897 team lost its first two 10
Vancouver and Stadium.
MOVES TO FIFE
Then Vinson moved TO Fife.
Three football. two basketball
two baseball and two track cham
pionships have been competed for
BY teams coached by Bill Vinson
Fife has won five and tied for a
sixth Of these nine championships
at stake.
Baseball was won both years

slam in the Pierce County
1889.
Such a record is no accident.
Flies boys are no bigger. no fast
er. no better for athletic excellence
than any other Pierce county
school.
But It's the quiet confident
teaching that comes from Bill
Vinson, wise In the ways OF
imparting me ans OF doing
things just shade better
than the other fellow, that
makes the Fife athletes just
that winning edge the better.
Flies athletes are told before
every game that they are good
good enough TO win over the team
they are shortly TO play. That's
the only time Vinson tells his boys
they are good. But those boys
usually become inspired by quiet
confidence in them and they go out
and prove it,
Such are the ways Of miracle
man.
