1926 Cedrus Yearbook

EDRUS-1926 they could play the second team. The Brill Bros. was a team composed of pro- fessional stars from Xenia and Beaver, and they had little trouble in running up a large lead in the first half, but this proved their undoing. A man noted for his wise sayings- once remarked that "pride goeth before a fall," and theirs was no exception in this case. With many points to their credit, they invited the first team to finish the game. The invitation was accepted by three of the first-string- ers, and in ten minutes'time they had evened the score and were leading the Brills when the game ended. If space permitted, a great deal more could be written about the wearers of the Orange and Blue. They were not victorious all the time, but they did win the majority of the games. They are to be congratulated for the clean sportsmanlike manner of their conduct throughout the season. Each year our team is gaining both in fame and victories, and with the advan- tages of the new gymnasium they will win more and greater trophies for the Orange and Blue. BASKETBALL SCORES OP. CC.

Though not a pennant-winning team and with but few great victories to its credit, the team of 1925 was far from a failure. The outstanding victory was the game with the Clifton A. C.'s, a club composed of semi-professional men. This club is considered the best team in the Clark County League. Also,in their annual struggle with the Alumni, the Yellow Jackets were victorious. With the 1926 season just starting, much is expected by the wearers of the Orange and Blue. Page Eighty-one
