1929 Cedrus Yearbook

T he Cedr us Indiana is noted as a basketball state, consequently when we lost to Hanover College on their own floor 36-27, the defeat was no disgrace. Hanover ranks among the leaders of the liardfloor game in the Hoosier state. W e m e t an o ld f o e , B l i s s , th e n e x t w e e k a t C o lu m b u s .

It was worth it to take such a score from such a foe. However, when we lost 42-34 to Findlay the defeat did not go so well. We resolved to give them the time of their lives when they came to Cedarville. For the last two years Cedarville has defeated Wilberforce on their own floor. Last year we won 29-28. The colored lads evidently decided before the game that this should not happen again. They carried out their intentions to the letter, so we could do nothing but come home with the score they gave us. It happened to be 34-23. Springfield Business College furnished fair opposition for C. C. next. They simply couldn’t keep the pace we set, and had to be content with a 53-29 score. Bliss invaded C. C. the next week with intentions of making us take the med­ icine they had given us at Columbus. We were waiting for them. What a game! We made them take their own dose, and did it to the tune of a 33-28 win. Hanover furnished the next opposition. Their game here was the first of a trip for them. We hated to make their trip a success, although wishing them the best of luck; so proceeded to defeat them 32-31 in a fast and furious game. Then we met Antioch there for the second game with our old rivals. Last year we defeated them twice in every sport. But they were determined things should be evened up this year, so they sent us home with a 34-31 defeat. Rio Grande simply couldn’t be stopped here, and we lost our second game to them by a 34-24 score. Springfield Business College, smarting under their earlier defeat at Cedarville, gave us better opposition at the Y. M. C. A. court in Springfield than had been expected. We had a hard time winning, but finally put the game on the right side of the column by a score of 37-35. Page S even ty
