Dear Alumnus: All signs point to 1940 as ma rking the best a ttended Homecoming in Dayton's history. We hear reports from the variou Chapters to the effect that they are sending entire delegations. Chapter h eadqu ar te r~ a re being set up a t the variou downtown hotels. Also, letters have been received from Alumni in so-called " isola ted" spots telling us tha t they a re counting on being on hand for the big affa ir. So it looks like this ' is our year !

On page five you'll find a complete acco unt of th e ac tiviti es planned for the week-end along with the names of those who a re arranging the various events.

Affa irs a t the university are being ha ndled by the Spirit Committee, headed by George Qua tman, Jr. S e le c tion o f th e Hom eco min g Queen , decora ting of the campus and stadium a nd between-the-h alves demonstra tion s, will be under the direction of this fine undergradua te organization. Our front cover this month carries a candid camera shot of two students, H enry R echtien '42, assista nt editor of the Alumnus, a nd M a rtha Speckma n '44, conferring along these lines with Tod Makley '1 3, president of the Miami V alley Cha pter a nd general cha irman of the Homecoming.

Alumni, we welcome you back to your university. W e can assure you a grand time and a flood of memories. So come back to D ayton for the week-end. You'll never regret it!

The response to the sta tement for 1940 dues was encouraging to a y the least. The December issue will carry a record of all thm;e who made dues payments for the year of 1940.

We feel sure every son a nd da ughter of Dayton will want to be identified as being a sustaining member of the Alumni Associa tion. That is why we send out this last call to those who may have forgotten or overlooked their payment. M embership cards a re being readied for the la rge number of alumni who responded within the past few weeks a nd these will be ma iled out soon .

Thank you for your continued interest. We' ll be seeing you over the Homecoming week-end, November 8, 9 and 10.

team composed mostly of sophomore reserves, lost m ainl y because of inexperience to two strong opponents who opened the Hilltop pigskin schedule. They bowed to Wichita 9-0 and to the Thundering H erd of M arshall college, 25-1 2. L earning rapidly they edged Western R eserve 20-12 a nd the f o I l o w i n g week walloped Miami, 28-6.

Inexperience hampered the Flyers to a la rge extent in their first game.

Eight Hilltop fumbl es did much to a id the Shockers' cause. A D ayton fumble in the first period led to a series of short Wichita gains which eventua lly resulted in a field goal from the D ayton 22. A fumbl e again plagued the R ed and Blue in the fourth quarter when the Shockers recovered on the D ayton 16, from whence they scored. The kick for ex tra point was wide. The Fl yers won the game on statistics even though they were on the wrong end of the 9-0 score. Bauj a n's men amasged 168 yards from scrimmage to Wichita's 93 a nd scored eight first downs to three for the K ansans.

Huntington, W . V a., was the scene of the second fray in which the Hill-

topper met their most bitter enemies, the Thundering H erd of M a rshall college. Although the F lyers showed much power and fight they were outclassed by the Big Green. M a rshall scored first, but the R ed and Blue bounded right back in the first qu arter. The second quarter it was the same story excep t that the H erd converted their extra point while the Flyers missed a nd the score stood a t 13- 12 a t the half. The two teams played the third quarter on even terms, but Marsha ll surprised the R ed a nd Blue with a sudden outburst of ground gaining in the fourth and put over 1::! more points.

The Flyers went into the Western R eserve-D ayton game the followin g week a t Dayton, confiden t of victory. They had a lready lost two an d on ly two Baujan-coached teams had ever lost three in a row, the Hilltoppers of 1930 and 1935. 1940 was not ad ded to this list, for the Flyers scored a 20-12 victory over a supposed ly superior team from Clevela nd.

D ayton scored in the first period by virtue of a punt return by Bill M oran, two passes, and some nice

An unrelenting drive led by Flyer Fullback Jim Fiorita resulted in the second touchdown, a nd the gun at the end of th e second half found the R ed and Blue in the lead, 14-6.

The R ed Ca ts made their last score in the l a~ t four minutes of the third qua rter. A pass from Sanzotta to Waggle netted R eserve 55 yards a nd a touchdown. Again the conversion fa iled. The fin al score of the game resulted from a run a round left tackle by Flyer H a lfback Bill Mora n, who rever ed his fi eld twice a nd galloped 77 yards for a touchdown. The game ended D ayton 20, R eserve 12.

The following Sa turday the Fl ye rs demon strated real scoring punch when they trounced Miami . They clea ned up the field a nd fini shed with a 28-6 score in th e ir favor.

H alfback Bill Mora n sta rred on both defense a nd offense a nd scored two Hilltop touchdowns. Fa rber and Quinn also struck pay dirt for the R ed a nd Blue ; Fa rber on a 90ya rd kickoff return. Migdal, a 136pound pack of dyna mite, scored the lone L\:路pointer for the R cdskins.

D ear Mr. Brown: Enclosed is my check for $4.00 for my subscription to the Alumnus and for my dues to the Alumni Association. A copy of the Alumnus addressed to my brother, Bernard C. Moore '37, gave me some mu ch needed information.

Some of the na mes in the Alumnus were very familiar to me-although I a ttended U. D. only two years, gradua ting with the cl ass of '27 in civil engineering. Being hampered by illn es ~ for a number of years, I was unable to ta ke an active pa rt in the Alumni Association. I have worked in va rious pa rt~ of the U. S. A., including Pennsylvania, New York, Florida and Texas, and while stationed in El Paso, Texas, a few years ago I encountered Walter Achiu '27.

I have not attended a gradua tion exercise since 192 7, and though the pros pect~ a t this time are not very bright, I ha ve hope5 of making the trip this yea r if at all pos5ible.

At the present time I am employed by the Forest D evelopment Corp. (an oil company ) here in San Antonio. My brother is Junior Engineer under the Civil Service Commission and is stationed a t D enison, Texas, on the construction of the $54,000,000 Denison Dam on the R ed River between Texas and Oklahoma. He was m arried last December 27 to Miss Eileen Fletcher at Xenia, Ohio, at St. Brigid's church, with Father Alphonse Schumacher '1 3 performin~ th e ceremony.

Good luck to the Association, and I hope to return to the old school in Jun e for a few days.
