These two wonderful factors made it possible for Cedarville College to complete her football schedule as well as she did. At the start of the season it looked as if the squad would be the best that ever represented this institution on the gridiron. Thirty fellows,several of them having real football ability, came out for practice regularly and Coach Borst was highly elated. The usual training grind did not bother the players, as is the general rule, and every one anxiously awaited the opening date with St. Xavier. The first game found Cedarville facing great odds. The field was slippery, the rain was still falling, and the little yellow Jackets were outweighed thirty pounds to the man. Cedarville battled hard and their fine spirit was ever present, but the weight and height of the Musketeers were not to be denied. Therefore the long end of a 54 to 0 score remained in Cincinnati after the game. The following week end was spent with the Quakers at Earlham. The Yellow Jackets managed to use their sting a couple of times but they could not cope with the Hoosier aerial attack. Cedarville rallied in the last quarter with driving line plays but it was too late. Earlham had the game won 23 to 13.
