1936 Cedrus Yearbook

Cedarville 28, Franklin 22 Cedarville met their first real test of the season and came through with flying colors, defeating Franklin U. 28 to 22. Cedarville 37, Defiance 42 A somewhat stage-struck Cedarville five trailed Defiance 28 to 12 at the half, but showed their fighting qualities by coming back and nearly catch- ing the visitors. Cedarville 30, Wilmington 23 After years and years and years we finally did it! Cedarville hadn't defeated our traditional ri- vals in basketball for years but this year they killed the jinx by trouncing Wilmington rather handily 30-23. Cedarville 25, Defiance 26 The Yellow Jackets journeyed to Defiance and after leading most of the game lost a heartbreaker 26 to 25 for their second defeat of the season. Cedarville 27, Bluffton 54 It was unfortunate that the Yellow Jackets' only really bad defeat had to come before the Home- coming crowd but it just couldn't be helped. Bluff- ton had an unusually fine team and Cedarville was nervous: These two things taken together accounted for the size of the score. BASKETBALL Cedarville 32, Wilmington 21 Proving their ability to "come back," our boys went to Wilmington and in a rather listless game whipped them for the second time this season by the score of 32 to 21. Cedarville 36, Rio Grande 31 In an overtime game Cedarville defeated Rio Grande by scoring ten points in the extra period. Cedarville 41, Franklin 40 In one of the most peculiar games on record Cedarville managed to defeat Franklin by one point. Trailing at one time during the first half 17 to 1, Cedarville spurted and led at the half 23 to 21. Near the end of the game Franklin again led 39 to 28 but by a great last minute rally the Yellow Jackets pulled through. Cedarville 35, Bluffton 44 The Yellow Jackets dropped their last game of the season at Bluffton by the score of 35 to 44. First Row: Walker, R o s s, Gibson, Swaim, Smith, H. Wallace, Waddle.
