1930 Cedrus Yearbook

was a freak in every respect. This game started in a downpour of rain and the downpour did not stop until nine innings were over. At the beginning of the fifth inning the water measured one foot at home plate. The team was not equipped with bathing suits, nor used to leaded feet, so we list. It is a singular fact, that in the return game with Dayton at Cedarville only two innings could be played because of rain. Anyhow, we weren't beaten. This year a new league was formed by the coaches of four schools with our coach at the head. The schools were Cedarville, Antioch. Wilmington, and Wilberforce. The league was therefore called the C. A. W. W. League. This added to interest as well as some other phases. Other games which we played were two with Wittenberg and one with Defiance, the latter being the occasion of our second trip of some distance away. Each team in the League had three games with each other team so we were well supplied with games both at home and "abroad." At the time of this writing, it looks as if Cedarville might have a real ball team this year. A number of the regulars are back and also a most promising group of new material. Our hopes are high. And perhaps the next Cedrus will show more games in the winning column. A Toast by Coach orst B. T. N 0 greatertribute can be paid to our athletics at Cedarville than to say that they are clean, fair, and free from all scandal. When one considers the type of boys that engage in athletics at Cedarville College, free from all flattering inducements and bribes, one can readily see why we have the "TRUE SPORTS." Our boys play the game because they like it not because they are paid to do it, and I don't know how many times I have heard this expression,"A fine bunch of boys, where do you find them? Athletics will be better in all branches during the coming seasons, espe- cially football and baseball. At the present writing it looks like we will have a fine bunch of Freshmen to select from when September rolls around. Our boys have not always won, as our records show, but at least they have always given their best. On every occasion they have been true Sports- men, taking defeat rather than gain through unfair methods. To these men goes the best that C.C. has. We are very thankful to all those who help make them the kind of boys we are proud of. Let us dedicate a new Aim, "Bigger and Better Sports at Cedarville Col- lege." Stxty-six
