1927 Cedrus Yearbook

THE CEDRUS 1927 1.111 11II11111 11111!PI BOYS'BASKET BALL SQUAD CEDARVILLE COLLEGE BOYS'BASKET BALL OF'26-'27 The curtain has been lowered on Cedarville College basket ball for the season of '26-'27. This season has left behind it many impressive victories, and those games that were not won can be classed as honorable defeats. A total of twenty- six were on the schedule this year, with the Yellow Jackets using their stinger to annex twelve victories; but the other fourteen had to be placed in the defeat column. The schedule was, however, the stiffest that any Cedarville team has encountered in years. Two Ohio Conference teams were met and also many other formidable teams including Bliss, Earlham, Urbana, Wilmington and Wilberforce. So, taking it all in all, the Yellow Jackets deserve a world of credit. At the start of the season the players and Coach Borst were both deprived of their necessary facilities, on account of the tardiness of the contractors working on the new Alford Memorial Gymnasium. The prospects were bright from the start. Several veterans were available and a likely crop of new material was on hand from which to pick. There was Captain Little whose guarding ability was of the highest; Rockhold, the "Grand Old Man" of Cedarville College basket ball, who had held down the back guard position for three years; Nagley, diminutive southpaw forward and veteran of two campaigns. Gordon and Orr had well exhibited their skill the year previous, as had Jacobs and Evans. —JINN
