The < 'edar\'ill e All Star , were the at– tractiu11, a team cornpo ed o f former culler;e me ,,, but they proved no match fur the cu liege quintette, who 1hrew ba ket almus t at will, running up a core of 66 to their oppon e nts 17. The college has more material than u ual an d a very su ccessful sea son is p1 edicted . On Saturd ay evening, December H, the 'hawnee Independ e nts appeared a11d romped away with a fresh scalp at their belt but they rea li zed that they had been thru a basket ball game . ThPir team i cc,mposed of old stars and ha\'e been playing together for several vear . Notwithstanding this they had ~,, work like Troja ns to get awa y with the game by the score of ~ to 23. A ou r boys come back with their cus- to111ary nintl1 inning rally which ha been a characte ri s ti c o f their play for the past two years and ha turned mo re than one defeat into victory . <Jn December 20, our boys were again dt•feated in an extra time contest 36 to lH by the Carli le club, of Dayton. This was 0 one of the fiercest contes ted games ever played on the local floor. At no time wa. there more than thre e points difference in the score, the first half t·udc<l Iii tu 16 the second 84 to M. It touk 11early five minutes of extra play before another basket was made it be- 111g a one handed stab from the center ul the t1oor. But we should give redit where reclit is du e . W e In~, hut it was in a game wt,i c h . for the S(Led oi t he playing, a we ll a for its cleaniness is seldn,n equaled. In such, a v ictory is glory a nd defeat is no disgrace.

Cedarville started off with a ru h, but seemed to weaken a the ga me progressed . Hard ly ,rny of th e boys were in trim though, as bad cu lJ s a nd too many turkey dinners accomplished wonder in upsetting the equilibrium of th eir ph isique . The game was close and interesting and was welt worth th e price to e e it. SCHEDl l LE Fern SJ.:ASON 1911-' 12. Dec. 1, Cedarville All Star a t Cedar- ville. Dec. 9, Shr1wnee at Cedar ville .
