'HIS year Track has enjoyed one of the most successful seasons it has had in many years at Santa Rosa Hi. Veteran material, with a good turnout of prom- ising new candidates helped give our track its best campaign in many seasons. Teaming up with Analy, to start the season, a dual meet against the Berkeley Yellow jackets resulted in a hotly contested event in which Berkeley won by virtue of a winning relay team. The Orange and Black Team journeyed to the East Bay Region the following Saturday to engage the Piedmont Highlanders. Santa Rosa dropped this meet to their opponents in a driving rainstorm 33-66. Reversing the decision of last year, the Panthers defeated their ancient rival, Analy, in the annual dual meet. In this keenly contested meet, the Panthers nosed out a victory when Gambogi staved off Blank's drive in the final lap of the relay, 582-54k the final score. In the next two events, Santa Rosa broke even, winning from Lowell High, 72-52, on the local track, but losing a close meet to Tamalapis. The high light of the latter was the 11 foot, 7 inch vault of Talbot. The North Bay League meet at Vallejo witnessed one of the best affairs of the season. Talbot distinguished himself by receiving a gold medal emblematic of his attaining first place in the pole vault, breaking the League record with a winning leap of 11 feet, 6 inches. Qualifying eighteen men in league trials and winning C Class was the last performance of the local tracksters before the final event of the season. Analy won the trials by five points, with Santa Rosa second and Petaluma third, and Sonoma bringing up the rear in the A Class. 7,RAcK TEAM ' l L Ae- 19' itiifi . , !,q 2 g I - P I.

Baseball 9 ITH league competition much stronger than in former years, the Panther nine had to battle to break even in games won and lost. At the opening of the season, Coach Fortier found two veteran players missing in Paul Asti, and john Ford, both of whom had been selected as all-league performers. However, all the other members of last year's team reported for service, with a fairly strong team as the result. In its practice season, the Panthers won from the junior College 5-2, and Healdsburg 4-25 but lost to Sonoma, Healdsburg, and to St. Mary's. In the first league contest at Analy, the Orange and Black received a 6-2 setback, but came back a week later to take the Petaluma Trojans for a 4-5 count in an exciting con- test. The third league encounter was with the Analy Tigers, which was won by us after a hectic battle, the score being 4-2. That left the Panthers with one league game to play at Petaluma the following week, which resulted in a Panther victory 2-1. The varsity lineup included Zappa and jones, pitchers, Re, catcher, Gambogi, first base, Olson, second base, Duggan and Topaz, third base, Mike Barbieri, short- stopg Gozzarino, Capt. Bertoli, Bianconi, and Christian, outfielders, and Lawson, Caven, King, Pfaff, P. Barbieri, and Benelli. The outlook for the next year's nine appears to be very good, although the team loses by graduation Zappa, Bertoli, Topaz, Christian and P. Barbieri.
