Baseball Squad Gains Three Wins Ronnie Martin scores on a hit for G.W. against John Marshall. Under the leadership of Coach Oscar Kuhn, George Wythe’s first baseball team got off to a great start by winning their first three games. Almost dropping into the cellar, they went into a slump losing the next six consecutive games. This squad, showing Bulldog determination, fought back winning four out of the last six games and finishing with a 7-8 record. No one individual had a sensational record; Bill Smiley, Garland Smith, and Donald Cole were stand- outs. Every boy on the squad was proud of being a member of the first baseball team in George Wythe’s history.
