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.

Un the Cinder Track, WW Varsitg Runner' THETRE off to new records. HE Wilson track team, coached by Dan lnveen, got off to a fast and furious start by winning the first contest of its l96l season, a non-conference meet with Franklin Pierce, and in this inaugural competition the Ram track- men showed a degree of ability which marked them then and during the rest of the season as a team difficult to defeat. Their record this sason was close to ideal: they took eleven firsts out of thirteen events and tied for first in one meet, leaving only one loss for the year. On April 7, Wil- son's runners edged Lincoln by a score of 591f2-SSM, re- peating their win over Franklin Pierce, and on April 8, George Alexander broke his own three mile record in the annual Daffodil Marathon, eclipsing by 24 seconds his year- old mark of l6:77 and leading the Rams to a first place finish in the high school division. On April 14, the Ram cindermen handed Stadiunfs Tigers their first dual meet track loss in two years by scoring a 5l1f4-563f4 win in the last event, eliminating with this victory a major obstacle on the Way to the City dual meet title.
