1927 Cedrus Yearbook

/ THE CEDiUS The northern road trip proved to be the disaster of the season as far as win- ning any games was concerned. Cedarville was doped to win at least two games, and was given an even break on the third. Some one "sure upset the dope bucket," because Findlay, Bluffton, and Kent State pushed their noses in the dust in three successive games. But to atone for all their losses, they defeated "Jerry" Katherman's Capital quintet and procured the sweet revenge they have been seeking for years. Capital lost only three games this season, one of them being by Muskingum, Ohio Confer- ence Champs,by one point. The win over them was the most impressive and well earned of the season. It well serves the purpose of a fitting climax to the '26-'27 history of Cedarville College inter-Collegiate basket ball. The wonderful team from Bliss, which downed Ohio Wesleyan, hasn't been forgotten, and a majority of the players class them as the best team that they encountered this season. The Business College boys were too tall for the Orange and Blue,so the two games with them were placed in the honorable defeat column. After the close of the regular collegiate schedule several games were booked with the leading professional teams of this section. The Delco-Light quintet from Dayton and the American Seeding Machine Co., team were met and disposed of in easy fashion; but the strong Dayton Troy-Fords bested our boys by a few points. All the games of the past season have not been mentioned in detail, but the writer in his limited space has tried to give a brief resume of the important and most exciting games. —L. M.
