1931 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS At Otterbein, Cedarville actually met the proverbial "steam roller." The entire line averaged well over 200 pounds, the tackles weighing 245 and 250. Even so, our boys held them to one touchdown in the first half. The final score was 25 to 0. • Our first home game was with Urbana Junior College. Urbana scored first and it looked for awhile like Cedarville would not score at all, but in the last half a punt was blocked and the fellows converted it into a touchdown in a few plays. The goal was missed and we had to be content with a tie score 6 to 6. The return game at Urbana ended 12 to 0 in their favor. Wilmington defeated us twice, the first time 20 to 0 and the second 12 to 7. The high spot of the season was the victory over Rio Grande, there. The last time Cedarville played football there the score was—painful to recall. But we got par- tial revenge by defeating them 34 to 0. If the team had been feeling as good and working so well together in some of the other games as they did in this one more would have been won. The season closed with a game at Morehead, Kentucky. After the long trip the boys could not seem to pull together and play ball SO we lost 7 to 0. When schools we played found out we had an enrollment of only 75 or 80 they shrugged their shoulders as if to say, "Here is another easy victory." Before the smoke of the battle cleared away they usually changed their opinion of our school and our boys. We may be small in numbers but when it comes to fighting there are very few who can beat us.
