The C edrus Foreword AS the time swiftly approaches when we again shall depart from the halls of onr beloved Alma Mater— some of 11s for only a few short months, and some of ns forever as students of Cedarville College— it is well that we should prepare to take with 11s some record of the activities of the year. Thus, in the dim and distant future, when many a grain of sand has trickled through the glass of time, and the now vivid memories of the successes and failures, the joys and sorrows of our college days have been somewhat erased by the daily cares and trials of life, we may take down this volume, dusty, tattered, and torn, and live again those happy days spent at dear old C. C.
Dedication To Mrs. Clara Morton, who during the past nine gears has so humbly and efficiently served the College Club, and who during that time has so kindly been both friend and mother to the boys and girls with whom she has come in contact, do we dedicate 'The Cedrus of 1929. The Cedrus

The C edrus THE FACULTY THE Cedrus Staff considers it a privilege and an honor to place the name of Dr. McChesney at the head of the Faculty. Dr. McChesney, who has been a member of the Faculty for thirty-five years and President for fourteen years, besides rendering numerous services to the community and country at large, still finds time to teach Philosophy, Greek, Psychology, Logic, and Oratory. Dr. Jurkat, who became a member of the Faculty in 1897, besides teaching History and Languages, serves in the capacity of Treasurer of the college, and helps the Freshmen take their first steps toward securing their college degrees. Miss Leiving, since 1925, has been Registrar, Secretary to the President, and Professor o f French. It is to her reliable statistics that the students must refer their puzzling questions concerning credits and requirements. Under the supervision of Professor Borst, Director of Physical Education, the athletic teams representing Cedarville College have become better and more widely known. Also, Professor Borst has charge of the teaching of Spanish. Professor Hostetler, head of the Department of Education, has proved to be a most capable instructor of those subjects which tend to train students for more efficient teaching. This is the second year that Miss Bristow has been a member of the Department of Education. This year, as Director of Teacher Training, she managed the difficult task of providing a proper observation and student teaching program for prospective teachers. Miss Dean, one of Cedarville College’s own daughters, has been a most conscientious Professor of Latin and Bible during the past two years. Not onlv those in her classes, but the entire student body will miss her sunny smile when she leaves Cedarville. Miss Lust, Instructor lor Elementary Teachers, has maintained the reputation earned last year of being an inspiration to students and future teachers. Miss Brown has not been with us long, but she is recognized as a competent Professor of Mathematics and English, and we expect several Cedrus Staffs of the future to include her name in the Faculty list. Professor Steele came to us this year from Indiana, and in the capacity of Professor of Social Sciences and Public Speaking has won the approval and admiration of the entire student body. Professor Kuelirmann, also from the Hoosier State, is rendering excellent service in the Science Department of the college. We hope his plans for a more complete Science Curricula may be realized. Miss Parry, as Professor of Education, is a splendid example of efficiency She is also Dean of Women. Students enrolled in the Seminary are enthusiastic in their assertions concerning the way in which the Truth has been revealed by Reverend Ritchie in teaching Homiletics and Comparative Religions. Miss Berkley is well qualified for the position of Director of Music, and is giving excellent service to the college. She is to be commended for her faithful support of student activities. Mrs. Corrv has been with the college since 192(i. During the past two years she has given invaluable assistance in the Department of Music. This is the second year that Miss Burns, a graduate of Cedarville College, has been Instructor of Public School Music. Page Tw enty-one
t The Cedrus Faculty Crusts SOME teachers are crusty old things— I know you will agree, but wait until I finish the statement—crusty on the outside. Recently I have been making some pseudo-scientific investigations, and I here report my findings. One day I suddenly caught a gleam as of a jewel, in the vicinity of the heart, and having a pirate-like love for treasure-seeking, I began my search. I might explain that in my experiment, I chose to work upon the crust as near the heart as possible. It is only by very careful microscopic investigation that we are able to analyze this crust. It seems to be a kind of professional air. In some places it is composed of very close, attack-resisting cells, almost impenetrable, while in other places it is of a more porous nature. We find upon closer examination that the crust is made up of a number of layers, in some places only two or three, although in other places as many as thirteen have been found. With continual work for fourteen weeks deducting only the minimum amount of time for rest and nourishment, I finally, yet ever so gently passed through the twelfth layer. Let me give a warning. Don’t ever try to use force or coldness to try to get through the crust, because it won’t work. The best and surest method is to use warmth, and love, and sympathy. The crusts gradually melt before tools such as these. Well, what about the thirteenth crust? When I reached it I found it very, very hard yet warm and transparent. I realized it would be sacrilege to attempt to go farther. But my work had not been in vain. I had found a treasure! I could see it there in all its magnificence, under the thirteenth layer. It would be ruthless to expose it to the outside world, so I laid aside my tools and just sat and watched. The layers I had passed through began to cement themselves together again. Was I disappointed? No, my joy was boundless! I was satisfied. I knew what was down underneath. I had proved my guess. Don’t get the mistaken notion that the treasure is entirely hidden. Its sublime beauty emanates from it through all the crusts. How wonderful it is then, close at hand. Friends, this investigation was true. The conclusions reached are true. Underneath every outside crust there is something precious. I f you don’t believe it, experiment for yourself. Perhaps you don’t think crusts are necessary; perhaps you think this professional air should be thrown away. Let me ask you something: Why does the kernel of a nut have an outer shell? Why are the earth’s treasures often hidden so deeply? The same answer will apply. There is something infinitely precious, something sacred in the heart of a teacher, and it must be protected from knocks and injuries by thick coverings. Yet it’s there just the same and it’s worth the search. There’s more in the heart of a teacher than most of us ever realized, but still we’re thankful for crusts ! E. W. - ^ Page Twenty-tivo M

The C edrus WIGAL Margaret Chandler President James Beam .Vice-President Editli Wigal ..Secretary-Treasurer What can a few sentences mean, what can a few phrases say, what can a few words express about the class of twenty-nine? There are so many memories of the past year that crowd to our minds as we write the last will and testament of a group that has fought obstacles in order that its members may pass from Cedarville’s halls with a degree. And now that we are just on the verge of being thrust into life’s arms—are we glad? No, we have regrets and fears. Yet we know that the spirit of our Alma Mater leads us on to do our share of the world’s work. It amuses us to revert our thoughts to a September day in twenty-five when we entered college. Scraps, watermelon feeds, new acquaintances, and new friends are some of the assets of that Freshman year. As Sophomores we found that our prestige had increased slightly and our heads had swelled exceedingly. Then the name of Junior was fastened upon us. Yes, we felt it keenly, too, especially when our uppers called us “Twenty-nine Junior.” Yet we grew and grew. We gave a play that some called “Clarence.” We called it “A Lot of Work, Well Repaid.” This event helped us to entertain Twenty-eight Seniors to a banquet in Dayton. Just a few days ago, it seems, we passed through the September sunshine and heard the Freshies whisper “ Senior.” Today we are being measured for our caps and gowns. Tomorrow we will have a scroll of very white paper tied in college colors. Now, for a time, we must say goodbye to dear friends.' We are outside of the gates of college life, hut our pleasant thoughts and wishes still linger to join a throng of similar phantoms like ourselves that haunt the halls and campus of Cedarville College.

The C edrus Senior Farewell Song We have come to the end of a perfect day— Our school days now are o’er, But strange tho it seems, there are none of us gay With Commencement at our door. For four long years we toiled for this day; And, oh, how long it did seem. Now the goal is won— our books laid away— There are tears where smiles should beam. Yes, this is the end of a perfect day, But it brings its sorrows, too, For tho we are proud to be going away, We are sorry- to leave you, too. Our friends are the ones who make life glad, As we climb the steepest hill; It makes us so lonely, so serious, so sad, And loath to leave Cedarville.

She also plays the piano and does this very well. Good luck, Whammie. ROBERT THOMPSON— Bob is the wittiest member of our illustrious class. When a joke or cartoon is needed, just call on Bob. He rooms at the Nite Owl Frat. JOSEPHINE A U L D - Jo stands in the “ A” division—alphabetically, athletically, and otherwise. Just now she’s our Y. W. President with the emphasis on the “ our.” She also finds time to ride in a certain “ Chivvy” and seems very successful there, too. “We are back of you, one hundred per cent, Jo.” HARRY PICKERING— Harry is the M. D. of our class. He is also our star actor. When it comes to feeds, Harry certainly knows how to throw them. MRS. CAMMIE GORMLEY— Mrs. Gormley is our most studious classmate. She is a good worker, but finds time to smile at her friends.
I I BETTY HAYDOCK— Betty is one of our dependent toilers, never crabbing. Her heart is gone, too. It’s all right to trade even, isn’t it, Betty? ROGER STORMONT— Roger is one of the latest additions to our number, but he is just as faithful to the class of ’30 as he is in handing out the mail and making special deliveries. BETTY BADSTUBER— One of the jolliest lassies in the class. She may be short, but that doesn’t keep one from wearing jewelry, does it, Betty? BLAIR BRASEL— Blair is one of our best students. He hails from Illinois, drives a “Chivvy,” and is interested in the Y. W. LII.LIAS FORD— Lillias is one of our most faithful class mates. When you want anything done, just ask Lillias. If she says, “ yes,” you can depend on it being done, and done well. Page Th irty-seven
LUCILE TANNERIES easy to agree with Eucile because she’s so agreeable, and so consistently good. She “ aims to please” in class, on the basketball floor, and in the kitchen— and does it, too. Here’s luck to Alpha’s fair queen! FRANK GRAHAM— Small hut mighty, and a great hustler, is our Frank—with his heart gone, too. DOROTHY WOLFF— Dorothy is the girl from New Jersey who drives her own “Chivvy.” She is a capable business manager of class plays, and a singer. DALLAS MARSHALL— Dallas is our newspaper man. Between his editorials and rabbits he somehow finds time to go to Jamestown. HILMA RAISANEN— Hilma hails from the northern part of the state. You should hear her tell about the sunset on the lake. S'pose she was alone? ■I I 1 Page Thirty-eight
The C edrus JEAN MORTON— Jean, the life of the class, has a smile for everyone. She never misses a party, of any kind. PAUL TANNER— Our President, and oh what a joh ! Junior play, Junior-Senior Banquet, and a popular clamor for feeds keep Paul busy. He is doing a good job of it. FRANCES McCHESNEY— Very capable and stands first in all her classes. She has served the Y. W. as program chairman and done it well. A person upon whom you may depend, and her word is as good as gold. JAMES STORMONT— Jim will not be with us next year. We understand that he is going to fly high, wide, and handsome. Good luck, Jim! JANIS CARTER— Jolly Janis! It is impossible for the “ Blues” to overcome her laughter. And her saxophone has added to many a program at C. C. Page Th irty-nine
The Cedrus DORTHA FANNING— Dortha comes from Jamestown, and drives her own Ford. She is a very promising actress, and, oh my! that black curly hair! FRANCES BRADLEY— This is the first year that Frances has been with us. However, she has already proved her loyalty to the class. GEORGE GORDON— George is our basketball star. When it comes to the hardwood he is right there, but as to classes, that is something different. WILLIS KENNY— Willis is the football star from Wells- ville. He likes Cedarville very well. Many believe that he likes someone nearer home, too. PAUL ARMSTRONG— Paul comes from the fair town of Osborn. He likes to sleep pretty well, and we wonder if that causes him to be late at classes occasionally. j Page F orty

The C edrus LYON LEACH SNYDER FOSTER Sophomore Class Silva Lyon------------------------------------------------------------ Lorna Leach----------------------------------------------- Joseph Foster------------------------------------------------------------ _____President Vice-President ______Secretary Alberta Snvder_ _____Treasurer The second year of our sojourn at C. C. is drawing to a close. We have in these two years made a name for ourselves that shall long be remembered. Now, do not think us egotistical. We realize our shortcomings as well as our merits, but we believe the world has faith in those who have faith in themselves. We have kept that faith. Now we endeavor to convert the world. We are an intellectual lot. If you doubt this, hunt up our scholastic records. We do not profess to be book-worms—our aim is not to let studies interfere with our education. We are mighty. We took the freshmen scalps with little trouble, and less fuss. Our reputation had preceded us, and when the freshies saw the determined glint in our eye they became as so many lambs led to slaughter. Our feeds we have conducted with dignity and with pomp and glory, undisturbed by any attempt at rushing. We are athletic. Cedarville will long remember our contributions on the football field, on the basketball floor, on the baseball diamond, and on the sidelines—the cheerleader was one of us, and we are proud of them all. She will not soon forget the glorious sophomore victory, March 28, when both the boys and girls were proclaimed champions of the College Interclass Basketball Tournament. We would say more, but modesty is more comely than braggadocio. You will hear from us soon enough again. But wait! Hear us give one cheer— Sophs! RAH! Sophs! RAH ! RAH ! RAH ! SOPHS!!! C.

Oh, the joy of our glad awakening, How we feel like shouting and singing, We are prompted to thank the God of Love For the day and the joy it’s bringing. The forces of teeming nature laud The Omnipotent ruler of all; And if we but listen and calmly wait, We can hear His stirring call. We find it thus whenever we roam In the beauty of God’s outdoors; When we pause and turn to Him in faith, He heals our heartaches and sores. i Page F orty -six

The Cedrus Freshman Class William North----------------------- President Areelia Ph illips----------------------------------------------------------------- Vice-President Esther Mae Hartman__________________________________________Secretary Leo Reed____________________________________________________________________ Treasurer On September 12, 1928, about fifty shy little Freshmen appeared on the College Campus for the first time, and tried their best to make a favorable impression on the upper classmen. The boys undoubtedly did, for they even gave them hair cuts free of charge, for which we wish to thank them. The Freshman Class of ’28 did its share of helping both the football and basketball teams and our hopes are high for our baseball stars. We are proud of our Fresliie athletes. Green bibs? Yes, they are among our souvenirs. Walk home barefooted? Yes, we like it. Freshmen? Yes, but hope to stay to be Seniors. PHILLIPS HARTMAN NORTH REED Page F orty -n ine

Second Year Normal Snyder llutan Wigal Leach Gilmore Kennedy Jones Yaple Clark Sortman Scott Hollingsworth Page F i fty -on e “ To teach, or not to teach; that is the question; Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous parents, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by marrying (? !? ) end them.” With Apologies to Shakespeare. The Normal Class of 1929 has already decided the above question and as June draws nearer we wonder if, after we have received that long, hard-earned, coveted sheepskin, we will be able to withstand those “ slings and arrows” which are aimed toward us. When we entered college in 1927 it was not long before the faculty and others could pick out the “ Normal Class” for we have held our own at class feeds, sports, and all kinds of parades. We found our number had decreased when we returned for our second year. There were those who felt the need of teaching that “ innocent age of childhood” this year. All of us who returned pat ourselves on the back and remark ‘ quality counts. Those who are surviving have found that it has not been an easy task to remain in this “ Normal” Class, as there are so many requirements for membership. We do not dare leave a class five minutes after the bell has sounded—at least not since—well, just ask one of us to fill in the blank. We wouldn’t think of going to class with unprepared lessons—it would be worse the next day. Neither would we try cutting class to snow-ball or play “ Fox and Geese” in the winter, nor to cut class to roller-skate, even though spring is in the air. Does not this prove to you how hard it is to remain in a “ Normal” Class? For two years we have been co-sufferers together (profs included). Now looking backward, we remember some hot days, freezing days, good recitations, bad recitations, dumb errors, and blissful ignorance, but we only hope our profs will forgive and forget, for we are on-lv “ Normals.” G. L. W.
Trumbo Finney Roseberry Bishop Huffman Kirby Corrill Violet ‘ Jones Miller First Year Normal Along about September 11, 1928, some few stalwart lads and lassies presented themselves at the gate of Cedarville College, to start, to begin, to commence, a one or two year formal course. At the gate presided Mr. Entrance Exam. We were detained there for a few hours, but after due consideration on his part it was decreed that we might pass through. In such a manner we became Freshmen. We wore the notorious bibs, considering that a great privilege. They were green, and what is so becoming and so cheerful (especially in the fall of the year, when everything else looks dead) as the color green? Yes, we had some haircuts—very close hair cuts. That kind deed was done for our great benefit—it saved our time, which is quite valuable. We did not have to take time off so often in order to get a haircut. The upper classmen were very considerate—maybe next year we can be as considerate—perhaps more so. In athletics we didn’t do so badly. We donated two girls to the basketball team. As our supply of boys was rather low, we could not spare any of them. So, really, we aren’t such a bad lot after all. We never lose our tempers unless we fail to control them.

Page F i fty -th ree Seminary Cedarville Theological Seminary offers a tliree-vear course, at the end of which a diploma is granted, and in which the credits are accepted by the leading seminaries of the country. A larger number of students were enrolled in the seminary this year than usual. Those attending seminary classes were B. B. Fleming, E. S. Wones, C. V. McNeel, Howard Flatter, J. E. Rowsey, Myron McDonald and W. N. Mantle. The subjects offered included Systematic Theology, under Dr. W. It. Mc- Chesney, Comparative Religion and Homiletics, under Dr. Charles M. Ritchie, and Old and New Testament Literature, Church History and Greek1, under Dr. F. A. Jurkat. A splendid spirit of interest has prevailed, and the students are hearty in their praise of the manner in which the faculty has made clear many of the biblical and spiritual truths so much under discussion. 1 W. N. M. Another year unfolds itself, And Fleming, where is he? A sailing down the river Styx? Oh, say, how can this be? Has Charon grown too old to row His boat for you and me? And Wones, God bless him, let him live In peace and happiness; And let McDonald pass through life With portions of success; And Mantle and the other boys Be filled with jovfulness. G. W. D.
Department of Music HE studio of the department of music is located in the college library building which is but a short distance from the campus. The department is growing in more ways than one under the efficient guidance and instruction of Professor Lydia A. Berkley, M.M., B.M. Professor Berkley is a graduate of Lincoln Conservatory of Music and Hiram College Conservatory. She was a special student of Oberlin Conservatory of Music and Cincinnati College of Music. Professor Berkley was at the head of the organ department and instructor in piano in Buck- nell University, Pennsylvania, and in Mansfield State Normal, Pennsylvania. Before coming here she was employed as head of the piano and organ department of Eton College, North Carolina. Professor Berkley is assisted by Mrs. Helen Laughlin Corry, who is a graduate of the college of Wooster. Mrs. Corry is a very fine sopranist. She teaches most of the classes in theory and assists Professor Berkley in teaching piano and voice. The courses offered this year are Voice, Piano, Harmony, Notation, Sightsinging, Ear training and History of Music. There is quite an improvement over the previous department because of the added number of subjects offered, the increase in the number of lessons a week, and the efforts being made by the professor and instructor of the department to put as much thorough work into the lessons as possible. • Professor Berkley has charge of the Girls’ Glee Club, which is made up of more than thirty-five voices. Rehearsals are held regularly once a week. The club has appeared in public a number of times and has been received bv very appreciative audiences. A public recital is given every two months, and a private recital every month. The purpose of these is to demonstrate the accomplishments of the department and to give the pupils an opportunity for public appearance. The value of these recitals to the pupils cannot be over-estimated. The courses of study are outlined in such a way that, regardless of the number of years a pupil has studied, the degree of proficiency alone shall be the basis for recognition by the college in the granting of a diploma, showing that a prescribed course has been satisfactorily completed by the student. These courses should make strong appeal to the musically interested amateur as of great cultural value. There are plans in the making for better and more adequately equipped faculties in the department of music.

The secret of the success of the athletic teams lies in the long hours of strenuous practice under the direction of Coach Burst. As a result of Coach Burst’s faithful services, the calibre of Cedarville’s athletic teams has continued to improve during the three years that he has been here. Others who deserve mucli credit are the managers of the respective teams. \ eterans in this important work are Irene Shannon, who has managed the girls’ basketball team for three years, James Beam, who, for three years has been football manager, and James Lemon, who has managed the baseball team during the past three years. No doubt, only the Coach and the members of the teams know how faithfully these persons have labored. William North and I.eo Reed, contributions from the Freshman Class to Coach Borst’ s managing staff, although new at the work, managed affairs like veterans, and deserve the commendation of the student body.

We had lost Dave Adair, our fleet half-back, and Captain Nagley, our brainy quarterback, by graduation. Several of our other regulars did not return. Consequently, the outlook was not very bright. Yet, considering the material that reported to the call, C. C. gave a very good account of herself. Coach Borst gave his best to make a football team out of a bunch of men who had never played together before. The Orange and Blue showed on several occasions what it was capable of doing after once “ getting up steam. Sometimes we looked like world beaters and sometimes like a third rate high school team. Yet, as a whole, the football season was a success. Although winning only one game, the members of the squad gained a vision of clean athletics and fair play that will mean much to them in later life. For this we must give credit to Coach Borst.

The Orange and Blue opened the season September 29 playing Kentucky Wes- levan at Winchester, Kentucky. The Panthers were rated one of the best in the state, and they certainly looked as if they were capable of maintaining that reputation. The day was cloudy, and as the game began, it started to drizzle and continued to do so throughout the game. The bright spot in the game for Cedarville was Turner’s run after picking up a fumble. Although the final score was 30 to 6 against us, we had made a good showing against a good team. The next week we stacked up against our old foe, Antioch, at Antioch. Due to overconfidence and very poor football, we lost 31 to 6. Antioch was at her best and Cedarville at her worst. The following week hopes were revived somewhat, when Rio Grande came to Cedarville with a team of huskies. They outweighed us twenty pounds to the man, Page S ixty-three

After taking most of the next week fairly easy in order to get rid of our bumps and bruises, we journeyed to Kent State Normal. The trip was made by bus. It started to rain Saturday morning, and by afternoon it had settled down to a steady drizzle. The football field was mud—mud, three inches deep— sticky, cold, wet mud. Water one to two inches deep stood all over the field—and still it rained. However we played football. We came home on the short end of a 26-0 score. What a day! What a game! But best of all, what a trip! Let’s give three cheers for Coach Borst! After having such a lovely time at Kent, the members of the team decided to really enjoy themselves for once. We played Antioch that week, which made two reasons for having a good time. Before the game it was decided to give Antioch the short end of 50-0 score, or near that. The half ended 26-0 in our favor. We were slightly more than half way there. In the second half we let down and merely defeated them 39-0. We couldn’t rub it in too much. The whole team functioned like clock-work with nearly every one sharing in the scoring. The only things to

A successful season is determined by the work accomplished with the amount of and kind of material with which a coach has to work. Coach Borst taught raw recruits who came out at the beginning of the season to work in harmony and to play clean, hard football. W e h o p e t h a t in th e fu tu r e y e a r s C .

When the season 1928-1929 was over seven games had been won and fourteen lost. Although not up to last season’s record, this year’s record is one of which no college should be ashamed. With only one regular graduating, the outlook for next year is not so dark as might be. We hope that next year’s team may have the success that has been allowed the two fine teams of the past seasons and bring more athletic honors to old C . C . Page S ixty-seven
The C edrus The season started the same as that of last year with a win over Antioch— this time to the tune of 42-25. The outlook was bright for this year’s team, although critics predicted failure. The next game C. C. invaded the stronghold of the “ Green Tornado” but Mr. Weimer and cohorts were again too much for the Yellow Jackets, and we lost 37-24. But we resolved to do better when they came to Cedarville. "A: *iV*r We played the University of Cincinnati the next game and held last year’s Ohio Conference Champions to a 32-28 score. This game was an indication of what the Yellow Jackets could do when at their best. Meeting another strong Ohio Conference team, Muskingum, in the next game Cedarville gave their best, but lost 31-29. The score was tied four times, and there was not a time during the game when more than two or three points separated the two teams. Very few small colleges care to meet three former Ohio Conference Champions in six days; Cedarville did that very thing. The third game was with the strong Ohio Wesleyan five, rated by critics as one of the best in the country. Our team was somewhat tired out by the hard fought Muskingum game two days before and lost an uninteresting game 52-18. Ohio Northern felt the sting of the Yellow Jackets for the first time this year, and it left them in no playful mood. We gave them the short end of a 41-29 score and made them like it. This was C. C.’s second win of the season and the first win of 1929. . Cedarville athletic teams nearly always have bad luck when they journey to Rio Grande. This year was no exception— as in football so in basketball. Playing on a smaller floor than usual, the Borstites lost 30-17. Page S ix ty -eigh t

T he Cedr us Indiana is noted as a basketball state, consequently when we lost to Hanover College on their own floor 36-27, the defeat was no disgrace.

W e c am e h om e on th e sh o r t en d o f a 44-21 s c o r e . Meeting another Ohio Conference member, St. Xavier, we lost 28-12. The Irish always have a good team and this year was no exception. It was worth it to take such a score from such a foe. However, when we lost 42-34 to Findlay the defeat did not go so well. We resolved to give them the time of their lives when they came to Cedarville. For the last two years Cedarville has defeated Wilberforce on their own floor. Last year we won 29-28. The colored lads evidently decided before the game that this should not happen again. They carried out their intentions to the letter, so we could do nothing but come home with the score they gave us. It happened to be 34-23. Springfield Business College furnished fair opposition for C. C. next. They simply couldn’t keep the pace we set, and had to be content with a 53-29 score. Bliss invaded C. C. the next week with intentions of making us take the medicine they had given us at Columbus. We were waiting for them. What a game! We made them take their own dose, and did it to the tune of a 33-28 win. Hanover furnished the next opposition. Their game here was the first of a trip for them. We hated to make their trip a success, although wishing them the best of luck; so proceeded to defeat them 32-31 in a fast and furious game. Then we met Antioch there for the second game with our old rivals. Last year we defeated them twice in every sport. But they were determined things should be evened up this year, so they sent us home with a 34-31 defeat. Rio Grande simply couldn’t be stopped here, and we lost our second game to them by a 34-24 score. Springfield Business College, smarting under their earlier defeat at Cedarville, gave us better opposition at the Y. M. C. A. court in Springfield than had been expected. We had a hard time winning, but finally put the game on the right side of the column by a score of 37-35. Page S even ty
