UNIQUE OCCUPATION MERITS RECOGNITION In a recent illustrated fea ture story published in the Dayton Daily N ews Ca merica section, alumnus G ene Rotterman, '43, and his partner J ean LaRue of W alla Wa lla, W ash., predicted wide new vistas soon to open in their " piped in" recorded mu ic busine . The two young men, co-owners of the Dayton Wired Music Service which operates the local Automatic Hostess "juke box" system, are currently experim enting with supplying recorded background music for offices, stores, banks, and industrial pla nts.

When quizzed by reporters about their unique enterprise, the pair told reporters of succes ful test installations now being carried out in a local physician's office and in the resta urant of the Young Women's League.

"It's all very scientific and based on psychologica l fa c tor ," th ey expl ained. Music suitabl e for the establishment and the type of work being carried on there is carefull y selected and piped in for whatever periods of time the cli ent may desire.

It is the plan of the compa ny to offer their service to a ll places where people congregate, whether in large or small groups.

The majority of their business consists at present of the Automatic Hostes system, which offers "j uke box" users some 15,000 recordings from which to make their selection .

Music goe out from the company's Mutual Home building studios via the regular Bell T elephone system with each box having a separate wire. When a coin is deposited the box is connected with one of the three h ostesses which operate the studio's 19 turn-table . Some 3500 to 4000 calls a re h andled during the 19 hour a day tha t the sy tern is available to users.

The pa rtner hip of the two"Genes" began while both were serving a Signal Corps captains. As a team they set up and operated radio stations in Bavaria, Munich, and Luxembourg. While with the 2nd Mobile R adio Broadcasting Company, the pair were among the first troops to enter Paris where they supervised the setting-up of a powerful transmitting sta tion . Once home and discharged, they corresponded about their dreamed-of "business for themelve " when the dream materialized in the form of a "For Sale" sign tacked on the D ayton Wired Music Service.

Of the 134 games played, he has won 84, lo t 37, and tied 13. In the Cathedral Latin-Holy Name league, a tie record is the answer. Gavin's teams h ave won seven, lost seven and tied two.

During the 1946 season, H oly Name was second in the Cleveland Senate League.

Gavin was an all-city quarterback at Cathedra l Latin from 1923 to 1927. At Notre D ame, where h e played under Rockne, h e was on the varsity quad from 1928 through 1931.

According to the n ew coach, he uses a modified version of the "T" formation fo r offensive play with em phasis on forward passing. The new coach is the only one of the applicants who made a study of the commun ity, the school, and the team. He is optimistic about the possibilities of coaching in a city the size of Dayton which has only one university. The new head coach will have the. right to choose his own assistant , three new football men.

Gavin was signed to a two year contract, a nd will take over his dutie M a rch 1. Spring football practice wi ll be his first task. Gavin is married, a nd has a family of three da ughters and one son.

Injuries Suffered

By Flyer Stars Two F lyers were knocked from the playing ro ter as a re ult of the Cincinnati tilts and the injuries received by K en Pitzer a nd Bill Ginn in the two games were serious blows

to future Flyer cage hopes.

Pitzer, an aggressive center who had seen much action during the season despite the handicap of a "football" knee th a t gave him frequent trouble, was put on the permanent ina ctive li t after a tangle under the basket in the Cincinnati gym. Pitzer, the halfback who came in to punt for the football team Ia t fa ll, though he wa not a llowed to run the ball becau e of th e knee injury, was carried from the floor a t Cincinna ti. H e ha recovered enough to walk a nd run but will not be a llowed to play basketball.

Ginn Lost To Flyer Cause In th e ha rd-fought ccond half of th e D ayton-U .C. scra p in the D ayton Col iseum Bill Ginn took a n elbow in the mouth wh il e fighting for the ba ll a nd suffered what doctors said next day was a fractured jaw. Ginn was second high scorer a nd was regarded as the best all-around player, sparking most of the Flyer a ttacks.

With his jaws wired shut for at least three weeks, the lanky forward was living on soup a nd malted milks and could not be used any more thi season.

Flyer Squad Near Season End The Xavier contest settled the season record for the Flyers a t four victories and 12 defeats, with five games left to be played . Coach Jim Carter's men faced a busy week-end last week as they met Ohio U . on Friday, Marshall on Saturday, and returned to D ayton to play th e Miami R edskins Monday in the Ia t home encounter of the eason. Two more games are sla ted for away from home: Wittenberg at Springfield, Feb. 27, and Toledo, March 1.

WEST LIKELY TO BREAK RECORD As the Flyers grind toward the tail end of the cage sea on it ap peared likely th at Richley "Rip" W est, star forward and former Roosevelt high school tar, would break the individual scoring record set Ia t year by Bill Ginn. West, whose average of more than 13 points a game had brought him up to the total of 206 last week, needed but 39 more to equal Ginn's record of 245. If his average keeps up West should establish a n ew record.
