1930 Cedrus Yearbook

were certainly not "out." Between January fourth and tenth they put on an amazing burst of speed and defeated Dayton "U," Transylvania, Findlay, and Bliss. This showed what they really could do. We were defeated by the Ohio State Reserves, but it is hinted, that it was only with the help of a couple of the 0.S. U. regulars. We went down again, after a hard fight, to our old rival, Wilmington, who had one of the best teams in their history this past season. Cedarville's hopes for further laurels received a severe shock when at the beginning of the second semester, "Smitty," alias "Bruiser," and Allen, alias "Choppy" quit school. Of course, this broke things up for a while, but the coach did not despair and at the close of the season, three or four of the Fresh- men were playing in there like oldtime veterans, and the prospects for next year look mighty fine. The Freshie boys gave a fine exhibition of basketball in the post season class tournament. They took the Senior's number. It seemed to be no trouble at all. And—they had the Junior team with its three or four Varsity mem- bers worried for three quarters, although the Juniors finally won. The moral is,—Juniors, beware of the Freshies next year. B. T.
