I-IIS year s Wrestling team established a record of Wins unequaled by either of its predecessors: the Wilson Mat- men captured in the same year their second consecutive district Wrestling trophy and their first City Championship. The Rams, coached by Harry Bird, repeatedly Won meets through the fine efforts of the heavier Weights. Throughout the season, individual Wrestlers fought to gain varsity berths on the team. A very capable group of athletes, the '60-61 matmen defeated both Stadium and Lincoln to take the City Championship. On February IB, a big day for Wilson's Wrestlers, the team Won its second district Wrestl- ing meet and also sent seven representatives to the State meet held on the W.S.U. campus, from this competition Ieff Wood of Wilson emerged the State Champion in his Weight division. Taken all together, Woodrow Wilson had its finest group yet of Wrestlers, and the team established a record of victories Which future teams will find hard to equal or better.

YT' W ' l Record of 'Bl Baseball Team Shows Results NNQQQWM'-larva, Auf' 38 to 0, I think we've got them. HIS year Marv Scott, Wilson's baseball coach, Was fortunate in having a fairly experienced team With which to Work, his pitching staff, composed of seniors Bob Abel- sett, Ray Larson, Cfary Dyer, and Terry Parker, formed a strong nucleus for the team. The team also Was Well- balanced as a unit, strong on the bench and with plenty of good hitting potential. Loosing the services of Dave Smith early in the season, the squad counted heavily upon lohn Wynne and the brothers Parker. The Rams started the season off With a bang in the City League, defeating Lincoln, Stadium, and Bellarmine in quick order. Both of the first two games were pitching duals, Won by Terry Parker and Bob Abelsett, respectively. ln the Bellarmine game Abelsett pitched no-hit, no-run ball for seven innings as the Rams pounded out a 15-O Win over the Lions. The high ability shown in these three inaugural games proved to be a forecast for the rest of the season: Wilson defeated each of its adversaries at least once and finished again as top team on the City League totem pole.
