SCRANTON BOWS TO DAYTON FLYERS 28-6 IN SEASON OPENER Overpowering an out-manned Scranton Royal eleven, 28-6, the Dayton Flyers ushered in the 1947 football eason Saturday, September 27, at the U.D. stadium. The win made Coach Joe Gavin's debut as a college football coach a complete success.

Statistically, the Flyers showed a total gain of 360 yards from scrimmage, compared to the 276 compiled

by Scranton . 144 of the Flyer yards were gained through the air on four completed passes in nine attempts.

Scranton soared 119 yards on . five completions of ten a ttempts. In the kicking department, too, the Flyers held the edge. H alfback Art Bok, displaying his n ew- found punting talent for the first time in the Scranton game, averaged 40 yards. The Royal quarterback, Mike DeNoia, hit a 33Y2 yard average.

The Flyers first scoring opportunity came after eight minutes of play in the first qua rter. Mike DoNoia took Art Bok's kick on his own three.

H e took three steps and met as many Flyers. The ball skidded from his grasp, and T ackl e Bill Lange recovered for the Flyers. On the second play following the fumble, the Flyers quarterback, Ed " Chief" Toscani, lateraled to Art Bok, and th e speedy Toledoan carried around left erid for the score. Sure-footed Bob Dobbins added the extra point.

Late in the same quarter, the Flyers missed on another scoring at-

tempt. Toscani intercepted a pass on the Royal 45 and scampered to the 19 before h e was stopped. A fiveyard penalty and a ten-yard loss, when the Chief was trapped behind the line of scrimmage on an a ttempted pass, killed the scoring chance.

Early in the second quarter an exchange of punts gave the Flyers possession of th e ball on the Royal 34.

On the very first play, K en Boxwell, Flyer fullback, took the ball on a reverse, cut around end to the sidelines, and then battered his way to pay dirt. Dobbins again converted .

La ter in the second quarter the Flyers added their third touchdown .

The Flyers took the ball at midfield.

Boxwell smashed the line for 12. Bok threaded his way off left tackle, speeding to the Royal seven before being brought down . An offside penalty again t Scranton brought the ball to the two. Boxwell picked up one. Then Art Bok ripped through for the fin al yard and the touchdown.

The gun at halftime ended another Flyer threat in the second quarter.

T aking the ball on downs a t the Scranton 41 , Flyer quarterback, Joe Ducey, pitched a completed pass to End Gus Shroyer which brought the ball to the 18. After one play, an incompl ete forward pass, the gun sounded endin~ the half and the Flyers scoring threat.

A pass in the third quarter ended the Flyers' scoring for the day. Dropping back from his own 22, Fresh-

4

man quarterback Joe Zaleski heaved to End and Captain Dick D ahn.

D ahn took the ball on the Scranton 48 and outran the Royal secondary for the score. D obbins again converted, bringing his afternoon total to four conversions in four attempts.

With the advent of the fourth quarter, Coach Joe Gavin began to substitute freely. With the third string of the Flyer lineup on the field , Scranton came through for their lone score. In a play duplicating the Flyers' final touchdown play, the Royals' Mike DoNoia tossed a pass from his own 26 to Halfback Tony Orsini on the 45. Orsini, like D ahn in the previous play, carried the ball all the way for the Scranton score. The kick failed to clear th e eros bar and scoring for the afternoon was complete.

Final core : D ayton 28, Scranton 6.

Flyers Travel To Chattanooga Smarting from a 34-7 beating administered by the Chattanooga Moccasins last season, the D ayton Flyers journey to the T ennessee school Friday, O ctober 24, for a night contest, hopeful of avenging last season's defeat.

The distance of the T ennessee school, coupled with the interference of classes by the Friday date, will make a mass migration to Chattanooga an impossibility. H ence, the Alumnus urges the University of Dayton Alumni, in and a round Cha ttanooga, to lend their support to the Flyer cause. A few fans will be able to make the trip, and if the Alumni join these in ch eering the Flyers, the Squad should be h elped a long way toward the hoped-for victory.

D ayton has played two games with Chattanooga previous to this en counter. In 1942, the Flyers down ed the Tennessee eleven 14-12. L ast season, as fans well remember, the Chattanooga Choo Choo, powered by the Moccasin's high-scoring Gene R oberts, rolled over the Flyers 34-7.

Comparing records for this season shows a win for Dayton and a loss for Chattanooga. The Flyers trimmed Scranton 28-6 and the Moccasins fell before Mississippi Sta te 19-0.

H owever, the same Mississippi eleven downed Chattanooga, 41 -7, last season.

FLYERS DEFEAT CINCY BEARCATS 26-21 Sa turday, O ctober 11 , the D ayton Flyers took to the road for th e first time as they traveled to Cincinna ti to m eet the powerful Cincinna ti Bearcats.

The Spirit Committee of UD sponsored a Migra tion Trip for the game. A special train was chartered on the Baltimore and Ohio a nd Flyer students fans, and alumni went cnmas to the game, to lend their voca l support to th e Flyer cau e.

The Bearcats h ave pl ayed one game as the Alumnus goes to pre s.

In a hard-fought con test, K entucky roll ed over Cincinnati 20-0. Flyer fans may find a simil arity between th e Cincinnati-Kentucky bra wl and the Flyer-Bearcat contest of last season. Coach Joe Gavin, scouting the Bcarcats a t the game, stated tha t the mayhem and bloodshed were ornething to behold. Fa ns, recalling the 19-0 loss to Cincinna ti la t ca on, will remember tha t th a t contest, too, took on many of the features of a street-corner brawl. On tha t occasion, the Flyers were the main ufferers from the rough play. They managed to hold the Bearcat to a scoreless tie at the half, but the loss of many players via the injury route weakened the Flyers to such an extent that Cincinna ti had things pretty much h er own way in the second h alf.

R eviewing the fifteen games played by the two schools, reveal a big Flyer edge. Dayton has won twelve of th e contests. However, in recent years Cincinnati has risen to gridiron prominence and the Bearcats now hold two successive wins over Dayton . This year, the Flyer are hopeful that their " T" -powered off en e will bring them to victory's road again.

Coming from behind twi ce, the Dayton Flyers won a brui ing, smashing upset victory over the Cincinnati Bearcats Sa turday night, O ctober 11 , in Cincinna ti's Nippert stadium . The 26-21 win m akes it three in a row for the Flyers and places them well along th e road for wh a t could be th e first und efeated cason in Dayton's hi tory.

The Flyers faced a seven point defi cit almo t before the game tartcd . Roger Stephens, Cincinna ti' g rea t back, grabbed the opening kickoff on his own ten, and ran a ll the way into pay dirt. J e sen added the extra point.

The Flyers struck back quickl y as they combined a strong running a ttack with some excellent passing to tie the score. In the second quarter they took a short-lived 13-7 lead but

CAUGHT ON ONE OF THOSE RARE OCCASIONS WHEN ALL OF THE ing staff was present, may we present the four men responsible progress of the University of Dayton football squad . Left to right: Piloseno , line coach; John Marshall , line and frosh coach; Joe backfield coach ; and head coach , Joe Gavin .

the Bearcats swa rmed b ack with two touchdowns to hold a 21-1 3 lead at the half.

In the third quarter, the Flyers roared into the lead again, never to be headed. A pass from Toscani to Bok resulted in one score, and a nother pass, this time from Toscani to Babione, brought the fin al tally.

After Stephen' runback of the opening kickoff for the fir t core, the F lyer's smashed their way to the Cincinna ti 18. Runs by Bok and Delp, and a pass from Toscani to J anaszek accounted for the yardage.

Then another pass from Toscani to Dahn failed and Cincinna ti took over.

The Flyer stopped the bearcats cold there and a fter three tries, Cir:cinnati kicked.

Fran Quinn grabbed the kick on his own forty and carried for seventeen yards to the Cincinnati 43. Bok, Delp and Janaszek combined to gain a first down on the Cincinna ti 30, and from tha t point, Toscani hurled to D ahn who was shoved outside on the three yard line. J an aszek drove throug-h center for ix points and Dobbins' kick tied the score a t seven all.

Early in the second qua rter, Jim Hanby recovered a Cincinna ti fumbl e on th e Bearcat seven. Two

coachfor the Danny Quinn,

plays la ter, Art Bok took a lateral from Toscani and whirled his way a round end to make the core 13-7.

Cincinnati drove swiftly after the next kickoff ripping off five quick plays to break into a 14-1 3 lead . A pass from O 'M alley to Rich ard was the payoff. Later in the same quarter, Zaleski fumbled while trying to throw a pass and Cincinna ti took over, on the Flyer 26. Two line play , a short pass from O'Ma lley to Rich ards, and Stephens carried for eleven yards a nd the touchdown.

J essen added the extra point and Cincinn ati led 21-13.

Sta rting the second ha lf, thing looked black for the Flyers. But, undaunted, the Flyers came back quickly to put themselves back in the ball game. Shortly after the kickoff, a serie of fumbles gave th e Flyers the ball on the Bearcat 35.

After runs by Bok, Toscani, a nd J anaszek gave D ayton a first down on the 24, Toscani dropped back and hurl ed a touchdown pass to Bok. D obbins kicked for the extra poin t, a nd the Flyers push ed up seven points, but were till one point behind, a th e score stood 21-20.

Cincinn a ti couldn't gain after th e next kickoff as they kicked to D ayton on their own 47. Johnny D elp ripped through right tackl e, and

behind good interference, raced to the Bearcat 20. J anaszek smashed through to the ten but a latera l then fail ed and the Flyers were then chased back to the 17. Then Toscani drilled a pass over center to Dale Babione who was in the open and ran over without a hand being laid upon him. Dobbins' kick was blocked but the Fivers led 26-21.

That ended the scoring for the game but in the waning minutes Cincinnati drove ' to the Flyer nine where Ray Munger grabbed a Bearcat pass and carried it out to the 40 to end the threat. 路 Statistically, the Flyers showed 13 first downs compared to Cincinnati's 11. In rushing too, the Flyers held the edge as they gained 239 yards compared to the Bearcats 145.
