Q u e'. no Q . - - Q Santa Rom 22-Pelaluma 21 In one of the most hectic and hair-raising four periods of basketball play that has ever been seen around Eggville, the Panther varsity proved its worth on February 10, when it took the highly-touted Petaluma Roosters into camp for a 22 to 21 score in the Petaluma gym. Chub Groom started the fire-works for the Panthers by sinking a pretty shot before the game was a minute old. Before the Roosters knew what it was all about the Panthers had accounted for six points, and Petaluma took time out in a game effort to stop the Panther onslaught. From then on the playing of both teams tore loose and a deluge of baskets were being tossed into the respective rings of both teams. Although the Panthers were caught in a tie score several times they were never headed. The score-board at half time read 15 to 12 in favor of the Orange and Black. The second half kept the fans on their feet from start to finish. Towards the end of the game the Panthers were leading by a slim margin but Petaluma came back strong to tie the score at 21 all. At this point Groom with but a few seconds to play dribbled through the entire Leghorn quintet to sink a pretty shot but he was fouled on the play and the goal didnt count Chub was awarded a free throw which he made good and won the game Together with Groom was Guelfo Poli who played a great floor game and had an eye that was plenty dangerous for the opponents Pelligrini and Burgess work as guards was above reproach Groom was high point man with 11 markers while Poli followed a close second with 9 Santa Rom 16 Analy 17 Santa Rosa High Schools Fighting Panthers together with Coach O W Fortxer were dealt about as hard a blow as has ever been dealt to any team on February 17 when the Analy Tigers came over as second best to the Panthers and defeated them by one point margin before the largest crowd in the hoop history of this institution in the big game of the year The first half was all Panther glory the Tigers were outplayed in every department of the game and according to the score at the half which was 11 to 4 in the Panthers favor Santa Rosa had the game on ice But in the last half for no reason at all the ice melted and the Panthers offense together with the defense cracked and sank before the determined Tiger rally During the last few minutes of play the Panthers on the short end of the score came to life and outfought the Tigers but it was too late Analy had registered another basket and the game ended amid the groans of Panther followers and the joyous cries of the Sebastopolians This defeat eliminated the Panthers from the league race and gave the Tamalapais Indians a team that failed to make a basket off the Panthers the title in this section of the C I F McGuire and Pelligrini turned in their usual good game at guard positions while Groom and Poli at the shooting berths were highlights of the evening the former being high point man with 8 points to his credit 5 ! l Q !
