Wilson Track Victory
Emphasizes Teams
.An-Around Ability
By George Huber

There's no secret about Wilson
Highs monopoly on the interhigh
track and field championships. They
take a lot of boys and give them
lot of practice. Emphasis is on de-
veloping fair entries in every event
rather than one or two standouts.
It's been done before elsewhere, by
Hardy Pearce at Central and Dutch
Usilaner at Tech in previous years,
but the coaches at Wilson go for
track more than anything else, since
Joe Carlo put across it's first win
ming team in 1943. The Tigers won
again yesterday for the fifth year
IN row, although they took only
two first places. They couldn't beat
individual standouts from some of
the other schools, but they were deep
enough to pick up many points for
second, third, fourth and fifth places.
All in all, Wilson scored in all
except two events, 16 boys plus two
relay teams contributing to the
Tigers Appoint total. No boy placed

Tom Ferrick, whose duty it is tt
shoulder other pitchers dilemmas
and receive little recognition in the
process Of wiggling out of numerous
unenviable predicaments, rapidly il
establishing himself as the coolest
most capable Washington relief
pitcher since the dazzling days o1
gigantic Fred Marberry.
Seven times this season Ferrick
has been waved to the mound In
relief roles and the extent of the
damage inflicted against him totals
one run in IA innings. That lone
rum. ironically, cost him a defeat
but otherwise Toms pitching In
crucial moments has been superb.
Toms earned run average this
season is 0.64, a remarkable record
which is appreciated chiefly by Bobo
Newsom, Sid Hudson, Early Wynn
and Walter Masterson, for whom he
has protected decisions. Ferrick is
becoming a lucky charm for the
Mats, for five of the seven games
in which he has appeared have
been won by Washington.
Has Yielded Only S Hits.
Ferrick has only one victory
achieved after pitching two score
less, hitless innings against Cleve-
land and tanning Les Fleming, Pat
Seerey and Joe Gordon successfully
in the 10th inning. His value to the
Mats isn't being underestimate by
the Mats pitchers, who recognize the
burly, 6-foot pinch, 210-pounder
as a champion in a crisis.
Only five hits have been ratified
off Ferrick's pitching and all have
been singles. He has walked four
and struck out seven. Cleveland is
the only club which has viewed him
twice and in five innings against
him the Indians haven't mustered
a hit.
1t was Ferrick who saved a 5-A
decision for Masterson last night as
the Mats overcame a 4-run deficit to
spank the New York Yankees be-
fore gleeful throng of 24,547. Tom
pitched the final inning after Mas

hitter in the eighth and he dis

a run in the first inning and they
