U of D

Another Year!

IT true that the first year is always the hardest?

We hope. During the past year our efforts have been directed chiefly to building up an organization. Our Alumni Association has been established. Some classes are organized under the direction of a class secretary.

A number of alumni clubs have been formed and are functioning in various localities. The strength of the Alumni Association is contingent upon the support of each alumnus. The officers of each U . of D. Club have the plain duty of enlarging and keeping active their respective organizations. The officers must be active. Each class secretary must keep the class spirit alive. Tl)ose classes that are not yet organized with a chosen secretary should work towar d that end. The second year should show results. The Reunion Banquet last June clearly indicated what possibilities lie before us. The -Alumni Association must keep step with the advancement and expansion of the University. United effort is needed to accomplish results, and united effort will not be had unless each alumnus shows interest in the Association.

Our alumni officers of th1s year are up and doing.

Upon accepting their offices they did not retire to meditate upon it. We have one-hundred-percent active, enthusiastic officers, who are devoting time and effort to the development of a greater Alumni Association of the University of Dayton . They are men of vision and determination, who spare no effort to accomplish results once they have accepted a trust given by their fellow alumni.

The central alumni office has been established, a secretary devotes his full time and energy to alumni affairs.

Our lists and files are improving each day. Ther e remains not the good will but the concrete help of the officers and members of the Association. Pay your dues promptly, co-operate with us in sending in articles and items for publication in the "Alumnus", attend scheduled meetings.

Do something to further the up-building of your Alumni Association of the University of Dayton.

AS WELCOME news to the U. of D. alumni came the announcement on August 13 of the re-appointment of Father O'Reilly to the presidency of the University of Dayton. He has been president of the University for the past six years.

Father O'Reilly has been at the University almost continuously since 1903, serving as president here when it was yet known as St. Mary's College. He was provincial of the Easte:路n Province of the Society of Mary for five years during that time.

There is much satisfaction in the re-appointment of Father O'Reilly. The alumni feel, and justly so, that in the last six years considerable progress was made by . the University because of his leadership. The alumni have the satisfaction of seeing his efforts bear fruit and continue on. The alumni feel that he is heading a program which is building for the University of Dayton an educational institution which will in time be one of the greatest universities in the nation . The re-appointment of Father O'Reilly signifies to the alumni, 'Who have great faith in his executive ability, a re-dedication to service and leadership.

Ho me-Coming - a Magic Word That!

GRADS are carried through long vistas of college experience . .. old friendships are recalled . . . new ones created . . . the University is thought of as home, not just an institution. It is a home of which we are proud . You will return this year not only to get enthused, smash your hat, yell yourself hoarse at the football thrills, and to trip the light fanta stic at the Home-Coming Dance, but also to really experience, ac路 tually feel, the fine spirit, the unity, the striking college consciousness that pervades the campus.

Home-Coming of alumni, October 19, will be a gala event. It brings the U. of D. Flyers up against a strong eastern gridiron opponent, Boston College. For the first time Boston is playing in Dayton. The U. of D. stadium will be buzzing with alumni chatter before, after and between the halves. Reports from all sections indicate that the alumni will return in large numbers. Certain cities are to be represented by' large delegations.

And then .. . dance! The first Alumni Home-Coming -Freshman Welcome Dance is to be staged in your honor by the students. The dance is under the supervision of the Monogram Club. It will get unaer way at nine o'clock in the Eagles Auditorium on South Main Street with a peppy orchestra broadcasting victory notes. This dance is given in honor of the old grads and new lads.

1 Be there to get acquainted with future alumni, to welcome the freshmen, to receive the hearty alumni greetings from the U. of D. students, and to frolic with your old school chums.

A lu mni Sell Season Tickets

AS PROOF that a moderate amount of organized loyalty is worth mo:-e than an unlimited amount of uno路r ganized good will, a group of for ty spirited alumni iri Diiyton organized at the call and under the leadership of Martin C. Kuntz, alumni president, and sold five hundred and twenty-five season tickets for the football campaign. This is an increase of more than three hundred over the sale for last season.

We owe a vote of thanks to Martin, who was the donor of the entire campaign, including three dinner meetings.

It not only served to increase the sale of season tickets but also to arouse the spirit of the alumni and people in Dayton for the U. of D. athletic program.

This sales campaign is the forerunner of greater activity in the future. At the final pep banquet the worker s pledged to set a higher goal and fulfill that next season.

The purpose of an alumni association: "To create interest in the University among the alumni where that interest does not exist, and to mobilize it for the University welfare where it does."- Ohio State University Association.

Campus News Digest

By Paul A. Moorman, '30 STUDENTS ENROLL

Classes resumed at the University with nearly eight hundred students registering . for the coming two school terms, the first semester of which opened on September 18. There were about two hundred freshmen who matriculated on opening day, composing the largest group of students ever to enroll at U. of D. Included in the student list are boys from twenty-eight states as well as from Mexico, Hawaii and distant China and Japan. The University draws heavily from the Pacific islands as the Society of Mary, which controls U. of D., has a school in Honolulu.

With the resumption of classes for the year 1929-30, several important changes are in effect which are of interest' to alumni. Bro. Fred Hartwick, S.M., has been appointed principal of Chaminade High School, Dayton, and Bro .

Matt Haas, S.M., has returned to the University as has Rev. Joseph V. Trunk, S.M., who is connected with the Department of Education. Then Joseph Keller, '29, has taken up his duties as publicity director as well as instructor in journalism. John Buyer is assisting in the Department of History.

FACULTY CHANGES

DEAN OF LAW

.fudge Robert C. Patterson of the Common Pleas Court in Dayton has been appointed the new dean of the Law School following the resignation of Dean John Shea. Judge Patterson has been presiding in Dayton for the last twelve years. Plans are being made to have a day law school starting in 1930.

BAND DIRECTOR

Another new member of the faculty is Maurice Reichard, '22, newly appointed director of the band. Though Bro. Louis is still active in the workings of the music department, Mr. Reichard is taking charge of the active organization of the band. A turnout of fifty musicians made their appearance for the first night football game while they were equipped with brand new flashy uniforms on the Detroit excursion.

ADDITIONS AND CHANGES

Of interest to alumni of the Commerce and Finance Department, the schedule for classes this year calls for four afternoon periods in comparison ~ith the schedule of the past which called for no afternoon classes.

A new course is being offered this year to freshmen only in an Orientation study, an hour of which is given every Thursday morning. Registrar Rev. George J . Renneker, S.M;, has announced that a study in experimental psychology will be conducted this year. Prof. E. B. O'Leary of the Department of Commerce and Finance has returned to the University this year after conducting a student tour in Europe.

ANNUAL RETREAT

When the annual retreat was held for the the first three days in the last week of September, the students entered a remodeled chapel. During the course of the summer an entire new floor was laid and new pews installed while other changes are being contemplated for the near future. The retreat .was conducted by the Very Rev. f>rovincial Joseph A. Tetzlaff, S.M. EXPONENT EDITOR

William P. Keane hjis been appointed the editor oÂŁ the Exponent for 1929-30, the announcement coming at the first meeting held soon after classes were resumed for the year. The meeting was an enthusiastic start.

October 15, 1929

ALUMNI As it was decided that there were to be no DANCE frosh parades in the city this year, meetings . at various times were held on the campus and due to the fact that the first two home football games were at night this year, the freshman welcome dance was necessarily moved over to the date of the Alumni HomeComing Dance after the Boston contest. An elaborate program is being arranged for the Alumni Home-Coming -Freshman Welcome Dance.

A U. of D. Booster The following is an excerpt from an article by Rev. B. F. Kuhlman, D.D., which appeared in the August 31 issue of The Five Hundred, the K of C magazine. Father Kuhlman, an alumnus of U. of D. and donor of three prizes each year for the best essay in American History, opened his article by saying: "To which college shall I send my boy? To the University of Dayton, I suppose, will be the answer of 'most every reader of this article who has a boy of college age and who can afford to pay the tuition.

"But the . reader may be able to influence other fathers / who, for one reason or another, will not send their sons to the U.D. and yet are deliberating the question 'Where shall I send my boy?' " ----U.D.----

Athletic News and Comment

By Joe F reemas, '33

Thinking It Over

A Setback

DAYTON'S downtown coaches are bound to be pessimistic concerning the Flyers' chances for a successful football season due to the fact that Coaches Harry Baujan and George Fitzpatrick had very few veterans left over from the 1928 season. The forward wall, especially, has come in for quite a bit of publicity simply because Baujan had to build a new line with the exception of the ends.

But everything is not as bad as some people think. The line is not so green and we look for it to hit its stride after another game. Harry and Fitz have enough material to make any required changes.

In sharp contrast to the backfield of last year is the present one. Whereas in 1928 Ducky Swan was the main ground gainer, Baujan now has not only one threat but several. Bobby Lensch, Joe Cabrinha, Pat Gleason and Captain Gil Gowan should make Flyer followers forget past stars.

DEFEATED but not disheartened is the University of Dayton football team.

The Flyers were handed their initial setback of the season by Detroit University before a capacity crowd of 25,000 people Friday night, October 4. The Titan scoreboard at the end of the contest showed Dayton 0, Detroit 18. But the score does not really imply what a battle it was before the Gem City cr ew was vanquished.

One thing that the game brought out which should please Baujan, Flyer mentor, is that Dayton has the ability to go against any strong eleven and make a creditable showing.

The Baujanites outplayed the Titans for practically one-half of the game. Twice in the first two quarters the Flyers were within striking distance of the goal only to lose the ball. It was not the bad playing on the part of the local players but the wonderful grid exhibition of the Detroit captain and halfback, Lloyd Brazil, who was chosen on the All-American eleven in 1928.

It was Brazil, aided by ten other players, who caused the downfall of the Hilltoppers. When Dayton was within the shadows of the Detroit goal and it appeared as if a touchdown was imminent, Brazil got in the way and spoiled plays. The Detroit victory can be credited to one man, Lloyd Brazil. He was the main cog in the Titan aggregation, appearing everywhere and spilling Flyer backs.

Once again, in the Detroit game, was demonstrated that odd quirk which allows a great halfback to be formidable whether or not he handles the J5all. While the Flyers were watching Brazil, "Snitz" Ross squirmed into and through an open field for the first touchdown. When the Flyers were watching Brazil, and he did receive the ball, it was a question of whether he would pass or run. The Red and Blue gridders were beaten by an honest-to-goodness football team, and that team had to play real football to win.

Dayton's center of the line which looked weak in preseason showings played surprisingly well. Smythe, .Jira, Poelking, Frankensteen, 'were bears on defense. And then there is Joe Andras who played tackle for the first half and end the 'last two periods. Undoubtedly he was the outstanding Dayton player. Time and again Joe would break through the Titan forward wall and smear plays. Poelking at center was strong, although his inexperience proved a bit costly in the light of the fact that Detroit chose to pass its way to victory.

The backfield, although a bit weak on aerial defense, played for the most part to advantage, especially Joe Cabrinha and Bobby Lensch. Lensch gained when any other Dayton back was stopped. It was he who carried the ball to the two-yard line.

All of which means that Flyer followers should not take this loss too seriously. There are seven more games on the schedule and some of these elevens if conquered would mean as much as a victory over Detroit.

- - - - U . D. -- - -

Had the Ohio Conference rule, which forbids colleges to use freshmen in varsity competition, been revoked this year many of Baujan's worries would have been over.

This year's yearling squad is without a doubt the best that ever went against the varsity teams in scrimmage.

Bill Belanich, freshman coach, has put together a team which would give many a college eleven a battle for honors. In Schnur and Fitzsimmons, fullback and quarterback respectively, Belanich has a pair of backs who have already given promise of future greatness. Nor are these two the only freshmen who showed that they know what the grid game is about. On the line Bill has some husky frosh in White, Brandel, Medley, Meyer, and several others.

All of this means one thing-that next year Dayton should have some brilliant prospects answering the call of the coaches. What wouldn't Harry give to have some of these first year men eligible for the varsity this season! /

-----U. D.----

The Flyers made an auspicious debut in the first night football tilt ever played in Dayton by trimming Indiana Central Normal 33 to 0. As was expected a few mistakes cropped out in the Hilltopper eleven. But Indiana was not a pushover for an initial struggle and had not -the players been in perfect trim the outcome might have been altogether different.

Baujan used practically the whole squad in order to see them under fire. Taking everything into consideration it was not a bad start for the local team.

- - - - U. D . - - - -

Those fans who have watched the candidates during some of their workouts have been treated to a battle royal going on for the fullback position. Pat Gleason, the fleet Hawaiian, and Jumpy Marshall are battling for the fullback post. Though Pat at present has had the call over Jumpy, it is not certain whether he will be able to start every game. Marshall has a world of power when he drives through the line besides being able to skirt the ends successfully.

---

-U.D. "' ---

What is perhaps the most radical change OJ;} the team is the shifting of Joe Andras, stellar 1928 end, to a tackle berth. Starting the season as an end, Andras was shifted to tack-le, where he proved highly adaptdble. The faculty for being adaptable is now to result in another change.

Baujan is shifting him to a guard position, where his weight is needed.

Deaths OTTO FLOTO, '78, nationally known sports writer, died at a Denver hospital on August 4 after a long illness.

Mr. Floto had been ill for about a year, being stricken in September 1928 with epilepsy while on a trip to the west coast. He is survived by his widow and a brother, William, of Wichita, Kansas.

Mr. Floto organized the old Floto dog and pony show, out of which grew the Sells-Floto Circus. 路 Mr. Floto was known perhaps more for his circle of friends, famous in the world of sport, than for his writings on sport subjects. As a friend of Jack Kearns, he urged the development of Jack Dempsey.

Mr. Floto was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, January 12, 1863, and was educated at U. of D. LESLIE R. CONLEY, '29, died on September 2, 1929, at Cincinnati Ohio.

UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON ALUMNUS

[Page 8]

------------------------------------~-----

Vote on New Alumni Constitution The proposed new constitution for the Alumni Association, as submitted by the Con.s titution Committee and approved by the Board of Governors, was offered to the alumni on April 15, 1929. It was published in the April 15, 1929, issue of the University of Dayton Alumnus, so that any proposed changes or additions thought advisable might be sent to the alumni secretary. This constitution will be submitted to a direct vote of the members of the Association next month. A ballot will be enclosed with the November issue of the Alumnus. If anyone desires · a copy of this new constitution before balloting, kindly notify the alumni secretary.

Gift to Chemistry Department The Department of Chemistry has been favored through the generous interest of Mr. Victor Emanuel who purchased and donated to the Department a complete file of Liebig's ANNALEN der CHEMIE, the series beginning with the first volume which appeared in 1832 and coming down to the present day. This set of ANNALEN was the only set of the original publication available on the European continent at the time. The University is deeply indebted to Mr. Emanuel for this great contribution to the Chemical Library. The donor has also put additional funds at the disposal of the Department for the purchase of chemical literature.

Dayton U. of D. Engineers Club

Alumni Visitors at U. of D.

The U. of D. Engineers Club, composed of engineering graduates of the University residing in Dayton, resumed their monthly meetings in September.

This club was organized three years ago for the purpose of bringing a closer relationship between the engineering alumni and for the presentation of papers of a technical nature. Its existence is solely for the intellectuar advancement of its members. Regular monthly meetings are held with an average attendance of twentyfive. A number of interesting papers have been read and the discussions following have been very instructive. Increased activity along this line is being planned for this year.

At the September meeting the following officers were installed: Wilbur Yackley, '20, president; Russell Summers, '21, vice-president; Harold Melia, '24, secretary; and John Russell, '25, treasurer. Elmer Steger, '23, then gave a very interesting talk on "Aeronautics." He discussed the theory of flight, lifting power of planes and the instruments needed for safe navigation.

The officers and members of the club wish to extend an invitation to all the engineering alumni to attend these meetings.

Any information about the club can be obtained by calling the secretary, Harold Melia, at Main 2076 or at East 406-W. There are no dues in this club.- E. G. Sander.

average cost of a year's instruction here is just $550 per student, exclusive of interest on plant investment. There is no escape from the conclusion that each student is paying $400 less per annum than the actual cost of his instruction."- University of Virginia Alumni News.

A ONE-MAN FOOTBALL TEAM day. Many thousand people are in the stands at U. of D. staI T'Sdium,a gay a vivid kaleidoscope of colors. From above, a bright sun shines down on a brisk autumn afternoon. The referee's whistle shrills and the contest is on! Eleven U. of D. Flyers bear Dayton's football hopes against a dangerous opponent.

But what's the ma~ter ? Only one ma n on the Dayton t eam is playing football! The others are walking aimlessly about- some are talking among themselves, others are waving to friends in the stands. It's all mere fancy, of course, because University of Dayton teams are not made of such weak stuff.

That, however, is exactly the kind of a football team the alumni of Dayton U. are putting on the field. Actually less than a one-man football team.

Approximately 2500 students passed through Dayton U.'s halls. About ha lf are graduates. Only six per cent of these former students are members of the U. of D. Alumni Association.

These keyed-up players, the six percent, are giving the University of Dayton an active alumni association. They a re doing their sh a re to help pay the ex penses of publishing the University of Dayton Alumnus and of maintaining the Alumni Office.

As we st and we ma ke up a good, spirited team-- but entirely too weak.

Those who are playing are playing together. B'ut think of what we might do if we could put an eleven-man team on the field instead of a one-man ·aggregation! . If you have not paid your dues for 1929-1930 (and the fi scal year closes December 31), make out your check for fi ve dollars NOW, and then mail it to the alumni secretary .
