fr.- • SOn BASKET BALL One week after the closing of the foot ball season the call for basket ball was sounded. Some twenty-five or thirty men responded, and the early days were spent in hard drill and practice. The players left from the previous season were: Taylor, Curr ie, Collins, Davis, Arthur, Wright, Wickerham, and Markle. Though the season of last year was not a success,the men left were to be re-vamped into a successful and spirited team. "Pop" Warner had a real job in turning this group from an in dividual team into one of great team play, and he succeeded in wonderful style. Though the season opened with two defeats at the h ands of the Willis Business College, of Springfield, and the Boring-Yanks, of Xenia, the team did not lose spirit but profited by mistakes and came back strong. The third game was a victory over the Ohio Mechanics Institute, of Cincinnati, and the fourth was also a victory. The Omega Tau Psi Fraternity, of Springfield, were defeated . The two following games were lost to the Sabina Independents in an overtime engagement, and to our greatest rival, Antioch. Both games were of a high calibre but we were hardly in true form. A trip to Cincinnati resulted in two victories for Cedarville: The Cincinnati Gym was defeated, and the Ohio Mechanics Institute fell for the second time at the hands of Cedarville. Our team displayed real playing a bility in these two games and old Cedarville was proud. As though to take all the j oy out of life, we were again defeated by Antioch. Our boys were not up to form and all luck seemed to be against us. We then won a game from the Boring-Yank s and all was right again. The last game of the season was with the Ohio Nor thern University. This was one of the best games ever played by the Cedarville College team. The Northern team, though much larger and seasoned, was held to a 15 to 15 tie during the first half. In the second half our opponents were able to better us and we were defeated though not depressed. Great spirit was displayed throu ghout the game and the team fought hard to the end. The season as a whole was a success compared with previous standings in late years. The varsity and the substitutes, who deserve a great deal of credit, are congratulated upon their success in the effort to bring our record to a higher standing.
