GLOBE September 19 the Panthers invaded the Tigers home ground only to return de- feated by a score of 19-O. Our defensive stood up valiantly under a strong on- slaught,but our offensive couldn't quite reachlthe scoring territory. Just wait until next time. CASA GRANDE Out to avenge their first defeat the Panthers charged into the Cougars'home grounds. Peppy teamwork carried the Panthers to an easv viztorv of 19-G. In spite of the Cougars' famed Reed the Superior line stopped them time and again. M AMI The Panthers and Vandals clashed in a hard-fought, evenly-matched game at the Panther Field. The goals remained untouched throughout all four quarters-- the score O-O. This was said to be one of the best all-round games of the sea- son--too bad we didn't win. COOLIDGE The Panthers were left dazed by the Bears' tricky HTH formation plus speed super-delux. The Bears went over the Panther mountain with a 40-O score. Cap- tain Tameron led Superior's defensive by making ninety per cent of the Panther tackles. Good work, Joe. By the way, maybe the Army doesn't have a priority on P-38's. GLOBE Superior, under a handicap of three regulars on the bench, conceded the victory to the Tigers with a score of 6-O. It was a knock-down, drag-out game in which nHarry dcn't feel so good.n Elusive Bargon slipped through Superior defense for the one and only goal. Oh, for some kickers. FLORENCE In our annual rival football game the Panthers started their march by scor- ing three touchdowns--all of which were called back. nhercuryn Ramirez, dodging in and out of the Gophers, carried the pigskin for two of our called back touch- downs. Disgusted and broken hearted, the Panthers' defense slackened which allowed the Gophers to finish the game f?J 20-O. : VHFZSSII MIAMI November ll the Panther rooters witnessed the final game of the season at the Vandal Field. In the early stages of the game the Vandals took the lead and held it until the latter part of the game when the Panthers pushed down the field for two touch-downs, making the score 19-13. In the last few seconds of the game the Panthers reached the scoring territoryg then the gun went off--Time waits for no one! Good luck to the coming team for '45. May they carry on where the team of '44 left off. Our- congratulations to the outstanding players' of '44--Joe Tameron--lst string all Conferenceg 5rd string all-state. Jack Flanagan--lst string all Ccnferenceg Sterling Tucker--2nd string all Conference, and Ray Chavez--2nd string all Conference. Here's wishing success to the veterans of '44 who will and have entered in- to the greatest football game of their careers. Good hunting, boys.

Basketball Although the Superior Quinta did not have an undefeated se son, they ho ed remarkable playing and sportsmanship throughout every game. Our season began with two defeats to Miami and Tempe. Our third game, and first victory, was one of our most exciting and evenly'matched games of the year. Five periods had to be played before the victor could be decided. Superior came through winning 26-25. Another outstanding game of the basketball season was the game between Superior and Gilbert on the opponents'court. Trailing by a great margin in the last period, the Superior Five came from Sl-46 to the final 45-52. Even though we did lose, the boys did a grand job. In the district tournament, the Panthers went all the way to the top before being defeated by Gilbert for the Consolation.
