FOOTBALL The " St. M a ry's Peer ," composed of the veterans who tied the Galloping Gaels last fall , defeated the freshmen, 3-0, in a footba ll game providing a climax to spring practice, April 26. The margin of victory wa a second-quarter field goal by sophomore end, Beno K eiter.

The freshmen threatened to forge a head twice, once in the third and once in the foUJ::.th quarter. However, on both occasions the Peers topped the 1940 varsity on the nine-yard stripe.

The game was played on fairly even terms. The freshmen a ppeared to be very strong and since almost all sophomores a nd juniors played for the Peers, the closeness of the fina l score seems to indica te tha t the 1940 Flyer eleven should be very strong.

Bigge t disappointment for the fa ns was the absence of the Phillv Phantom, J ack Padley, from the lin~足 up of the Peer . J ack was out of the lineup as a result of a head injury he received when he collided with a tree in pa trolling the outfield for the Flyer baseba ll nine two days earlier.

Th~ injury later proved not to be senous.

BASEBALL During the past month the Flyers tretched their eason record to ix win a nd four losses. Victories have been scored over Cedarville, Miami, X avier, Ohio Wesleyan, Ohio U., a nd Cincinna ti. The Flyer have bowed before Cincinna ti, Ohio U ., Wilmington, a nd Wittenberg.

Reviewing the season record briefly: Fir t game with the Miami Univer ity Redskins, a nd the most thrilling of the eason to da te. U. D. scored two run in the first frame to give Pitcher Stapenhor t an early advantage. The Redskins came back in the third to tie the score a t 2-2. Howver, the Flyers pushed a run over the plate in the sixth to give them the game, as no more runs were scored by either team. Pitcher Stapenhorst allowed the Tribe but three hits, whi le his teamma tes garnered seven.

Then the U. D. nine went into a ta ilspin a nd lost three traight contests. Cincinna ti nosed out the Flyer , 7-6, as a result of listie playing by the Flyer nine. A~din g in ult to injury, little Wilmington College stepped out in front of Bauj a n's nine, 6-4. Before the Flyer came out of their spin , they dropped a 12-2 conte t to Ohio U. However, once the R ed and Blue

Votes for jack Padley, L ittle AllAmerican U. D. right halfback, to play in the All-Star game in Chicago, Ill., August 30, a re coming in fast.

Already over 200,000 votes have been gathered through the efforts of the tudent body and friends. The student body a nd friends will continue to work on thi project all summer, but their effort alone will not be sufficient to obtain 2,000,000 votes which will be needed to get J ack into the sta rting lineup. If the student body a nd friends complete their jobs, a nd present indications are that they will, the success or failure of the project depends on the Alumni body alone. If each Alumnus gathers 100 vote , thereby filling the ballot he recently received in the

nine came out of its spin, it really did some high flying.

X a vier, boasting of one of the best team s in the ta te, was the first victim, 9-2. Ohio Wesleyan fell in line, 8-1 , followed by Ohio U ., 2-1 , thereby giving the Flyer revenge for their earlier defeat a t the hands of the Bobcats. It remained for a n undefeated Wittenberg nine to break the Flyer ' winning trea k. D ayton held the lead until the ixth of this game, but at that time the Luthera ns scored six runs and the fin al score was 104 in favor of the Springfield team.

In the next game the Flyers avenged a previous defeat by trouncing Cincinnati unmercifully, 16- 3.

Stapenhor t went the route for the Flyers. Rema ining game on the schedule with Miami a nd Cedarville were rained out.

TRACK In spite of gloomy pre-season prospects, the Flyer track team finished the ea on with a record of three victories in the three dua l meets in which it engaged a nd thirds in each of the two tria ngula r meets in which it entered.

The third in the tria ngula r mee t with Ohio Wesleyan a nd Albion wa reported in the April Alumnu . Then the Red a nd Blue thinlies defeated the weak Wilmington College Quaker a t Wilmington. The first tria ngu la r meet held in the U. D. stadium since 193 1 found U. D. again taking

a third. This time, however, the Flyers made a remarkably good showing against the strong Wittenberg a nd Cincinna ti squad by garnering 45 Y2 point . Cincinnati Bearcat finished in front of Wittenberg.

Then a nother victory over Wilmington followed. Thi time the Flyers outclassed the Quakers, 87-44.

J ack Padley took three firsts, one econd, a nd a third to top individual scorers.

To wind up the season, Pad! y took five firsts a nd accounted for half of the D ayton score of 51 points in the Ia t track meet of the year, which was with Ceda rville a t D ayton . Cedarville cored 39 points.

GOLF-TENNIS In pite of much ado earlier in the sea on about whether or not U. D . would have intercollegia te golf and tennis, some competition in both sports was met by the Flyers the past month. The golf team has won three ma tches a nd has tied one, whi l the tennis team lost its single ma tch. The mashie swingers inaugura ted the eaon by tying Miami a t O xford .

The Flyers showed much improvement in their second ma tch a nd defeated a strong University of D etroit team, 10-8, a t D ayton. In spite of the Hilltop victory, medalist honors went to Detroit's number one man, Bablish, who is the former We tern Amateur champ. Then the Red a nd Blue (Co ntinued on page 7)

>> MIAMI VALLEY ALUMNAE CHAPTER

SAN FRANCISCO Dear Jim: H eeding your despera te a ppeal in the April issue of the " Alumnus" for pictures of the schola rs of the old school, I took my little Brownie to see wha t I could see.

It so ha ppened tha t I learned tha t a meeting of some of the m~mbe rs of the California chapter of the D ayton Alumni was to be held on M ay 12 at the ranch of the Fresno Pork Tycoon- Ray Tyler. So there I went to sna p a few snaps.

Enclosed are a few of the results.

R ay, as you will no doubt remember from last year when you were out here with the team, is a very loyal and enthusiastic booster for U. of D. However, Ray feels that there a re not enough "rooters" for D ayton on the West Coast, and he pla ns to solve tha t little problem by raising his own "rooters," as you will note from one of the pictures enclosed. I make this expla na tion so that the "Dayton" pennant which appears in the picture will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted.

M a tt Marzluft thinks Tyler h as a good idea so adds his hope that they grow up to be big, strong "rooters."

The other picture shows the boys a t ease, a nd I hasten to add tha t those are real lemons a t M a tt's fee t.

So there you are, Jim . California has tried to do its bit to help you out.

(Signed ) H arry C . H eider, 2101 Livingston St., O a kla nd, Cal.

by President Tod M a kley and a ttended by upwa rds of seventy-five alumni, the meeting was an outstanding success in every sense of the word.

A stinging editorial in the Exponent anent the Russo-Ja pa nese war contained the followin g : " Remove the Czar a nd the autocrats tha t surround his throne and allow the peasa nts to declare for or against a continuance of the war."

A feature of the an nua l Alumni reunion a nd meeting was a baseball game between the old "Old Boys" a nd young " Old Boys." The oldsters' lineup was as follows: H enry Unverferth, Joseph Ferneding, John Graves, John M. Kramer, Albert Hochwalt, Cha rles Swadener, Theodore Lienesch, Charles A. Bueker, Doc Averdick. The youngsters' team was as follows: Rudolph Schneble, Doc Hochwalt, H a rry F erneding, R .

P. Burkha rdt, Jr., S. F. Bucher, Dick Hollencamp, Louis Moosbrugger, Wm. Stoecklein, John Maher. (Joseph Walter was a ppointed official underta ker a nd head of the ambulance crew.)

Shilohs, a team composed la rgely of Alumni, defeated the var ity in baseball, 6 to 4. M alloy pitched for the Flyers; Emerich was the catcher.

My Dear Jim : Excuse this fa miliar talk, as of old friends. But the Alumnus gives you the above name and so-Besides you and I are in the same boat. In fact you are steering in it a fter me. Look up "Alumni Notes" from 1905 or so to 1909. Only the boat was not rigged out in tho e ancient day as it is now. The Alumnus is really a ttractive and pulsating with new life. ames galore a nd da tes (the other kind ) which the Old Boys look for first- like Schaefer, Rya n, Anderton, Whalen, Grimes, Ferneding, H ellmuth, K enn in g, Blume nth a l, Schoen, Mill e r , Zorn , Tr a in or, Schlitzer, Wong Leong, and so on a nd so on .

You must be a smart fishermanputting $5 .00 on your hook . Well, your ba it caught this poor fi sh- hence the enclosed photo - some of my prized mementoes, with all the beauty a nd dignity of old age.

Thanks for mailing me the Alumnus. Keep up your fin e work. Wishing you every blessing for it.
