He played football and baseball at Texas A&M and Bethany College in West Virginia and was captain of the West team in the firstE ast-West Shrine football game in 1925. At WSU, Bailey’s baseball teams won or shared 12 Northern Division pennants and were second 11 times. The 1950 team was runner-up for the NCAA title and Bailey’s Cougars were seventh nationally in 1956. He was player-coach of “Bailey’s Angels,” barnstorming basketball team made up of WSU sports greats which toured the Northwest and entertained thousands. Bailey, who retired after the 1961 season as WSU’s winningest coach in any sport, died in 1964. wsucougars.com 2 2009 Cougar Baseball 3,313 fans attended WSU’s 10-4 victory over No. 2 Arizona State, April 12, 2008. “BOBO” BRAYTON, 1962-1994 Fredrick Charles “Bobo” Brayton was
