1942 Cedrus Yearbook

MI SpwIs wallowed for Cedarville led 22-16 at the half and ap- peared to have their first victory of the season. Another bitter pill was the fact that it was an- other I.O.C. game. Sanders added the scoring punch which almost netted the win. Coach Pyatte placed the next game in the hands of his rookies; Flory, Lewis, Galey, Wright, and Paul Stoneburner were given their starting chances against Giffin. They respond- ed nobly and, helped by the regulars later on, they chalked up the first win for the hardwood campaign, 55-33. The regulars came back with a vengeance against a powerful Wilberforce University team. Displaying better than usual team play, our boys made it tough for W. U. in the first half, leading 19-17 but went down fighting in the second half 37 to 31. The game which Cedar cagers would rather disregard is the one at Morehead, Kentucky, State Teachers College. It was a combination of an off night for the Jackets and a definitely on night for the Ky. lads. The result was (sh) 90-37. Cedarville received a severe set back at Van Wert where they played Giffin U. again. Coach Pyatte's rookies given another chance were apparently lost, and before they were yanked and the regulars inserted the margin of victory had been made. The final score was 51-44. Harry Stoneburner made thirteen con- secutive free throws after missing his first three. He ended the game with a total of 19 points, while Campbell was next with 16. One of the best performances of the year was on the Indiana Tech floor at Fort Wayne. The regular starting five played the entire game and emerged with a well deserved 36- 25 decision. Smooth team play was the form- ula which meant victory. The home coming crowd suffered with the team in an overtime defeat at the hands of Bluffton, but not before many breathless min- utes of good basketball were played. Camp- bell was high point man with 21 points and P. Stoneburner connected for 14 points on long shots. Cedarville, with P. Stoneburner hitting again and H. Stoneburner making an all season high of 24 points, ran roughshod over Tiffin 62-42. The campaign closed with another thrilling close loss to Wilberforce U. This time it was the Force that built up a first half lead only to have Cedarville threaten it strongly in the final period. A 39 to 34 score was the result of the second meeting of the two teams. Cedarville ended the season with three wins and 11 losses, not an enviable record,.but the cagers have offered no alibis or complaints, and neither will we. Surprisingly enough we find that Cedarville, despite some landslide scores were only out scored 686 to 553, an average of 49 points for the opponents against 39.5 for the Jackets per game. Harry Stone- burner led in individual scoring honors with 201 points; Campbell was next with 137. Cedarville finished second in the I.O.C. conference, behind theco -champions Indiana Tech and Tiffin U. Campbell and Stoneburner were named on the all Conference team for the second time. For the first time in the history of the col- lege, the freshmen were crowned champions of the intramural basketball program. A series of six games were played among the class teams. The freshmen annexed the title by de- feating the sophomores in the final round of play. Meanwhile, Miss Hysell's girls' team had their annual home and home series with the Wilmington lassies. In January, our girls were guests at the Clinton County school. The fightin' Quakerettes dined the Cedarville girls after pasting a lop-sided defeat on them on the basketball floor earlier in the afternoon. The C. C. co-eds returned the compliment to the Wilmington girls in March, but were lam- basted by another one-sided score. In intramural ping pong tournaments, Martha Shaw and Laurrell Flory won the hon- ors in the girls division and in the boys' divis- ion, respectively. The tourney was open to all students and faculty members. The baseball squad has been greatly handi- capped this spring by bad weather and the shortened college year. They will, however, meet several of the surrounding schools in spring games. Track and tennis were postponed because of the shortened college year. IN NINE TE E N F 0 R TY TWO
