1934 Cedrus Yearbook

HOMECOMING GAME Cedarville met Defiance on the local floor in the homecoming game this year, and the gym full of alumni, faculty, students, and others witnessed one of the hardest fought, nip- and-tuck games that was ever played on the home court. From the very first blast of the whistle to the final shot of the gun at the close of the last overtime, the game was played hard and fast with neither team ever leading the other by a margin of more than six points. At the close of the regulation playing time the teams were tied in score at thirty-eight apiece and after a few minutes rest continued the fight for a period of three minutes. At the close of this period the teams were still deadlocked at 40-40. Another rest and another three minutes of fighting. Another shot. Another checkmate in score, 41 all. And so on, far, far into the night until 11:30 o'clock, when the game came to an end, with Cedar- ville leading Defiance by one point, 44 to 43. This game was the season's high water mark for thrills and spectacular playing, and every member of the squad was used at some time during the contest.
