Drake. &Az/AG-11 The 1940 baseball season saw the return of Dayton University to the schedule. With only five lettermen back the Cedarville nine lost the opening game to the strong Dayton crew. An early defeat at the hands of Wilberforce was avenged by a 4-3, 12 inning victory later in the season. Another high light of the season was winning both games of the double-header with Bluffton. Faced with the heaviest schedule in the history of the school we are looking forward to a successful season in spite of a heavy loss from last year. Bob Reed, first- string pitcher who did splendid work last year, will be missing from the lineup because of illness. Jim Northup, who received a knee injury. in the Wilberforce game last year will be back in his usual backstop position. Elal Thomas and John Sanders will be expected to carry on the pitching duties. John Brill will be the initial sacker with Ned Brown taking care of the shortstop position. John Reinhard is the only letterman for the outfield. The remaining positions will be filled from such capable material as Arthur Geake, Bob Guthrie, Layden Wilson, "Lucky" Logan, Hank Campbell and Walter Drake. This year the team will be under the supervision of Coaches John Mills and Howard E. Thompson.
