Enoch Bagshaw played end, halfback, and quarterback between 1903 and 1907 and was one of the first five-year lettermen in University of Washington (UW) history. He served as the head football coach at Everett High School from 1909 until 1920 and took the teams to consecutive national championships in 1919 and 1920. Coaching at UW, Bagshaw took the Huskies to two Rose Bowls and had a record of 63-22-6 upon his retirement. In spite of his record, the student council decided to let him go after the losing season of 1929. Bagshaw resigned, took a state job in Olympia, and died of a heart attack in 1930 at the age of 46. He was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 1980.

In this March 1929 photograph, Enoch Bagshaw (left) is attempting to find his ball in the rough while golfing with Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne at Broadmoor golf course.
