 Ite £tvuj, Epxviti Sports at Cedarville College in 1941-42 were directed by new instructors. C. D. Pyatto was the athletic coach and Miss Margaret Hysell was physical education director for ihe girls. counted on as main-stays. Other letter-men, John Roinhard, a senior, and John Sanders, sophomore were also slated for heavy duty. Pyatte then began classifying his other play- ers according to ability and experience. He watched Layden Buck Wilson, Harold Cony. Paul Stonobumor, Fred Lewis, Millard French. Lauroll Flory, Dave Galcy, and Keith Wright in action. None of these players had had any previous extensive experience on a college varsity, but out of these, were to be chosen two, or possibly three starters. Coach Pyatte issued the call for the base- ball squad soon after school started. Because of the decrease in the enrollment, barely enough boys reported to compose a team, but, after a few weeks of practice, the squad had rounded into shape and gave signs of develop- ing into a fairly good ball club. The team had a pair of practice games scheduled with Wilmington College in the fall, but was able to play only one of them. That game played at Wilmington was decisively in favor of the Quakors; still there wore possibil- ities for a winning Yellow Jacket team, it was thought. Coach Pyatte was of the opinion that, for some reason, the squad did not play the type of baseball of which they were fully cap- able in that opening game and he looked for- ward to a bettor result in the next meeting of the club. However, rainy weather followed by coldness cancelled the game and sent the boys insido for their alhlotics. During the fall the girls were participating in soft bail and other out door activities under the direction of Miss Hysoll. When the adverse weather began. Coach Pyatte lost little time in starting the basketball practices. About fiftoon boys wore on hand for the initial practices. This squad had nearly a month of practice before the season opened. During this time. Coach Pyatto experimented with various combinations. He had only four lettermen to work with and it was evident that he would have to use some of his freshmen or other untried talent in important roles. R. Henry Hank Campbell and Harry Stonebumer. both sophomores who starred on the preceding Cedar team and were named to the second I.O.C. all conference team last year, were By the timo the team was ready to open the season at Tiffin University, the coach had chosen the following lineup to represent the orange and blue in that oponing I.O.C. game: forwards, Harry Stonebumer and Harold Corry; center, John Sanders; and guards. Hank Camp- bell and Buck Wilson. That team battled to a 35-31 loss with only two subs getting into the game, John Reinhard and Keith Wright. Fresh- man Corry led the losing battle with 10 points. The next engagement was at Wilmington. The rivalry between the two teams having been sharpened by a home and home painting visit, both squads scrapped through a nip and tuck second half to a 33-27 result. Wilmington's first half superiority told the tale as the last period was almost even. Stonebumer racked up 17 points after going in as a sub. and he was ably supported by a hard fighting Cedar team. Otterbein's overwhelming victory proved a terrific let-down to the whole team. A hot band of Ottors, oponing their season on their home floor, swamped the Cedars 59 to 35. Although Cedarville was never in the gamo at Earlham, they showed heretofore hidden scoring power. A loose defense cost them an- other gamo however, 66 to 44. The next game proved no better. Ball play- ing out of their class and without the services of Corry who withdrew from school. Cedarville lost 74-35 to Dayton University. A vast supply of reserve talent for Dayton seemed to de- moralize our boys, but both Campbell and Stonebumer turned in good scoring games. Getting back to their own league the Yellow Jackets were nosed out in a heart-breaker. The defeat by Indiana Tech 42-41 was hard to take. THIS I S CEDARVILLE COLLE

Sponti co U u e L ior Cedarville led 22-16 at the half and ap- peared to have their first victory of the season. Another bittor pill was the fact that it was an- other I.O.C. game. Sanders added tho scoring punch which almost netted the win. Coach Pyatte placed the next game in the hands of his rookies; Fiery. Lewis, Galcy. Wright, and Paul Stoneburner were given their starting chances against Giffin. They respond- ed nobly and, helped by tho regulars later on. they chalked up the first win for the hardwood campaign, 55-33. Tho 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. Tho regular starting five played the entire game and emerged with a well dcsorved 35 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 v ith 21 points and P. Stoneburner connected for 14 points on long shots. Cedarville. v ith P. Stoneburner hitting again and H. Stoneburner making an all season high of 24 points, ran roughshod over Tiffin 62-42. Tho 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 mooting of tho two teams. Cedarville ended the season with three wins and 11 losses, not an enviable record, but the cagers heve offered no alibis or complaints, and neither will we. Surprisingly enough we find that Cedarville. despite some landslide scores were only out scored 685 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 v ith 201 points; Campbell was next with 137. Cedarville finished second in tho I.O.C. conference, behind the co-champions Indiana Tech and Tiffin U. Campbell and Stoneburner wore 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 plcry. Meanwhile, Miss Hysell's girls' team had their annual home and home series v ith the Wilmington lassies. In January, our girls were guests at the Clinton County school. The fightin' Quakorettes dined the Cedarville girls after pasting a lopsided defeat on them on the baskotball floor earlier in the afternoon. The C. C. coeds 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 tcumey 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. E I N N I N E T E E N FORTY TWO
