1927 Cedrus Yearbook

1921 THE CEDIZUS 19Z7 With but two days rest, Cedarville opened football relations with Antioch again. The Yellow Jackets nearly flew over the last white line on several occasions but lacked the necessary punch to score so the game ended with the teams dead- locked as far as scoring was concerned. Journeys were made to Bowling Green, Capital and Defiance the following Saturdays with Cedarville receiving the smaller numbers of the scores. The latter game was the battle of the sea. Many the time a player in the bottom of a "pile up" had to hold his breath to keep from strangling. By this time though the squad was reduced almost to the minimum; many of the players had dropped out of school and th e few that always quit after the first weeks of practice had done so. Borst, with h ardly enough men to compose a first team, wouldn't give up. On he labored with the few men he had left, and it was these few men with their fighting hearts that held Rio Grande 13 to 0. Then came the big surprise of the season, that is for Antioch. Nearly every- one predicted an overwhelming Antioc h victory, but the Yellow Jackets were primed for the set-to. Each team registered a touchdow n, but Antioch's try for point after touchdown counted while Cedarvill's w as placed in the negative column. In the last game it was just a case of too much Bluffton quar terback; he was one of the best open field runners that has ever performed on a l ocal gridiron. Now we have reached the end of our journey. The peace pipe is passed on to future teams and we hope that their success may be termed in victories and fighting spirit combined.
