Coach Callen 11 8 Cedarville's basketball team, backed by experience, school spirit, and excellent coaching, lived up to the "Great Expectations" of its fans from the very begin- ning of the season. Ten returning lettermen, including all of last year's starters, were the nucleus of the Yellow Jacket cage squad which swept to a 7-game winning streak early in the season, knocking down such schools as Taylor, Indiana Tech, and Ashland and Bluffton of the Mid-Ohio League in the process. Coach Don Callan's charges also finished second in a mid-season tourney at Malone College, where star Dozier Carter was named to the all-tournament team. Outstanding performances were recorded by Carter and Gary Walthall, who placed high among the leaders in league scoring and rebounding. Seniors Norris Smith and Dave Jeremiah backed them up with double-figure point averages each. Dick Spencer and Sam Canine shared the other guard slot throughout the season. Spencer's 41 points at Taylor proved to be the major factor in Cedarville's conquest of the Trojans.
