MARCH • 1948

SUPERIOR GENERAL VISITS THE CAMPUS The Very Reverend Sylvester Juergens, S.M ., superior general of the Society of M ary, and a gradua te of t he class of 1917 from the University of D ayton, arrived M a rch 1st a t St. John's Normal Sch ool, Shakertown pike, D ayton, for a n extended three week visit. F a ther Juergens plans to visit the U niversity of Dayton and various school in the Mia mi V alley where the Brother of M ary are teaching.

The motherhouse of the Order of the Society of M ary is a t Nivelles, Belgium, the site of the ba ttl e of Wa terloo. Plans are being made to move the headquarters of the Society of M ary to R ome.

In a press interview, F a ther Juergens readily answered questions regarding the Red Power in Europe a t the present time. Fa ther Juergens sta ted tha t in view of his experiences with the Russians in Europe, tha t nation is bluffing in her interna tional po ition. H e bases his opinion on observa tions made during a recent tour of Europe, during which he h ad the opportunity to see the ravages of wa r, sound out the attitudes of war victims, and learn first hand wha t is going on behind the Russian Iron Curtain.

The reason for Fa ther Juergens' position tha t Rus ia is running a bluff is that he feels his experience prove to him tha t Russia doe not have the power to wage a ny sort of decisive war a t th e present time.

"The Iron Curtain was hung not because Russia wa nts to keep other na tions from knowing what she h as, but becau e she i trying to keep other na tions from knowing what he hasn't," he said .

H e cited the fac t tha t th e Soviet U nion has been bled white in World Wa r II, a nd tha t the country doe not have any indu trial facili ties to produce the sinews of war . Fa ther Juergens also pointed out the fact tha t countries in the Russian phere of influence are principally agrarian in make-up, with the exception of Czecho lovakia.

The M a rshall plan, Fa ther Juergens believes, is ju t the thing the European n a tions need to revive them, and as soon as it becomes effective he feels the world will see an entirely different a ttitude there.

"Bear in mind," the priest pointed out, " that most European countries have been devasta ted . There has not been any concerted progra m started to rejuvena te those areas . Ruins are still standing. Nothing has been done

That' about a ll thev do h ear, because their n ewspapers a nd other information source are controlled .

They na turally vote to support the Communistic ideas.

"But wha t is really in their minds is how they a re going to get a square meal. They think maybe Communism will provide it for them. " Give those Europeans a good meal, keep them fed, a nd then give them a good job. Tha t can be accomplished by putting their n ational economy on a b etter ba is.

"The M a rsh all plan is devi ed to do just tha t. It will bring European na tions around to thinking more kindly and sensibly about the n ations which are trying to h elp them and bring some order out of the presentday ch aos."

As a pa rt of hi inspection tour, F ather Juergens along with the Very R everend Walter C. Tredtin, provincial of the Eastern province, Society of M a ry, visited the houses of the Society in H awaii and J apan.

Bro. M. Gauges Dies at 82 Brother Mich ael Gauges, S.M ., 82, died F ebruary 12, at M ount Sain t J ohn's ormal School, where he h a served fo r the last 28 years.

Brother Michael wa teward of the chool from 1912 to 1940, when h e retired from active work. Prior to being stationed at M t. St. J ohn h e was teward of the U niversity of D ayton.

H e h ad been affi liated with St. Louis College, H onolulu, T.H., fo r about thirteen years following his teaching a t St. J o eph' , and St. M a ry's school in Cincinnati. Brother M ich ael Gauges, S. M., was born in 1865 in Baltimore, M aryland. H e profe sed his fir t vows in the Society of M ary in 1882.

The Very Reverend Walter C. T redtin was the celebrant at a solemn req uiem mass on Frid ay, Febru ary 20, a t M ount St. J ohn. Burial was made in th e Un iversity of Dayton cemetery.

Record Set in Mortuary Service Three form er graduate of the University of D ayton a long with their fa ther currently received recognition for the sixty-three year old tradition in the family a fun eral directors. The alumni, Raymond, ' 18, William, '22, a nd Charles West brock, ' 34, who with their father, Ben We tbrock, have carried on quite a variety of fun eral , a nd h ave broken many records in buria ls.

Ben Wes tbrock established the first fun eral home in Dayton, Ohio. H e has buried eleven Catholic pri e t , more than a ny other D ayton fun eral director. H e has the honor of having directed the la rgest funeral ever held in Dayton, tha t of the la te Reverend F a th e r Ch a rl e S. K empe r, St. M a r y' churc h p as tor, wh o di ed D ec. 27. 19 13.

H e is the only funeral director in Dayton who has successfull y lured three son into the business. Ray, William, and Cha rles joined their fa ther in 1921 , 1925, a nd 1934 respectively. A fo urth son, Rich a rd, i director of the Inla nd Children' Chorus,-a chorus sponsored by the General M otors Corpora tion in D ayton. Another son, Norbert is affili a ted with th e Yellow Cab Compa ny, D ayton .

At an earl y age, Ben We tbrock became affili a ted with an " und ertaking" establishment as an a pprentice in Min ter, Ohio. Three year la ter, h e joined Peter M eyer in Dayton . They worked together for five years.

Mr. Ben Westbrock establish ed his own bu ine on Wayne Avenue in 1892. During his sixty year there W estbrock has ha ndled more than 12,000 funerals, which most probably is a nother record in mortuary history.

Funeral usually are very olemn affairs, however they sometime provide humorou situa tion . One of these developed in Dayton when a woma n in i ted tha t her hu ba nd 's funeral mu t be conducted in their third floor a pa rtment. There was no possibility of carrying the h eavy casket up and down the narrow stairway. W e tbrock engaged a piano mover who et up a boom for the purpo e of raising and lowering the casket, which h ad to be pu hed thru one of the windows of th e a pa rtment.

Prior to their entrance into the University of D ayton, the Westbrock brothers attended St. M ary's parochial school. Ray and William were engaged in other types of bu ine s before entering the Westbrock firm.

Cha rle , ' 34, entered the Army as

a reserve officer in F eb. 194 1, a nd wa di cha rged in Nov., 1945. H e served in Ala ka a nd the Aleutian during two years of this time.

Another record tha t might be mentioned is that the wive of the four ons a re all nurses.

All of the e records add up to the same thing . . . that the Westbrock fa mily i one of distinction . The Alumni As ocia tion of the University of Dayton extend to them congra tula tion and best wishe for their continued ucce s.

Alumni Invited To Military Ball Preparation for the R eserve Officers Training Corps Annual Military Ball is well underway, with the Spring's main social event scheduled for April 16. Pla ns for the music and ba llroom are complete ; the dance wi ll be held at Lakesi de Ballroom, which possesses the on ly local dance floor capable of accommoda ting the anticipated crowd . Music will be furnished by two orchestras, Dick Skapik a nd Carl Taylor. This is a new feature in University dances, a nd i expected to set a precedent for larger dances in the future . The u e of two orch estra permits continuou dancing, and thereby elimina tes frequent and irksome intermi sions encountered at most imilar functions in the past.

The Military Ball i ponsored by the Per hing Rifle of the University of D ayton. The following officers of Company B-1 serve on the committee: 1st Lieutenant J o eph Tolle, ch airman ; 1st Lieutenant William Gallagher, assistant chairman ; Captain William Fitzpa trick, fin ances a nd program. Former Commanding Officer Ca ptain John Archer a nd form e r 1st Lie uten a nt Frank Schmidt are serving in an advisory capacity. Col. James Simpson, Professor of Military Science and Tactic and an honorary member of Per' hing Rifles, is the faculty advisor.

The program for the Military Ball is still being planned ; however one feat ure will undoubtably be the presentation of the Queen Anne M a nual by the Pershing Rifle Drill Platoon.

The organiza tion is pl anning to elect a co-ed for a sponsor, who will preside at the Ball.

Tickets were placed on sale March 17 and are priced at $3.50 per co~ple. Table reserva tions will also be made because of the expected large attendance. Dress for the. occasion will be semi-formal or umform.

M embers of R .O.T.C. will be in uniform, and former ervice men are urged to wear their uniforms. Dress for the ladies will be formal.

The success of the Military Ball seems assured, from experie.nce in the past, and from the growmg enthusiasm on the campus for the approaching event.

Basketball ala '06 What A Game !

(The following article was taken from the alumni section of the Exponent, Vol. XIV, published in 1906.)

The fastest, most exciting, most evenly contested, a nd a t the same time the roughest and longest-drawnout game ever played in D ayton took p lace a t our gymnasium, F ebruary 28, when we fought the Christ Church sq uad to a cyclone finish, in which we were beaten by the na rrow margin of 37 to 34. The game was a veritable typhoon, a football contest, a wrestling exhibition, a bull fight, and a wrangling match a ll combined.

The 1,200 specta tors certainly got their full monev's worth.

From the o~t et the Cincinnati champion displayed exceptionally pugnaciou tendencies, a nd as they greatly outweighed and outmeasured our little boys in blue, the sympathetic crowd were afraid that some misfortune would befall our valiant R egulars. The accurate shooting, the rapid pa ing, and es pecially th e defensive work of our worthy rep-

DR. CHARLES A . THOMAS, PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY , and outstanding in atomic research , was guest of honor at a meeting of the society on March 9. Shown left to right are : Dr. W illiam J. Wohlleben , S..M ., University of Dayton; Dr. Thomas; R. S. Gaugler, president of the Dayton society, and Dr. Carroll A . Hochwalt, '20, director of Monsanto research activities in Dayton .

resenta tive oon relieved the crowd of their anxiety and revealed to our opponents that they were up against a redoubtable foe. Although the Porkopolis quintet, faithful to their past record, indulged in a ll kinds of Mohawkish tactics and in every form of trickery, at the close of the first half the score stood 15 to 16 in favor of S.M.I. The econd period began under the most favorable a uspice . W e retained the ball in our possession most of the time, and actua lly played rings around our adversaries. D espairing to score by playing regulation ba ketball, the Cincinnatians started a genuine slugging ma tch, so that time had frequently to be call ed, in order to allow som e of our brokenribbed lightweight to recuperate; but we made up in courage and science what we lacked in avoirdupois a nd pugili tic abilities. W e were constantly in the lead by two or three points until a few minutes before the end of the game, when R eferee Luce, of Cincinnati, began to give some of the ranke t decisions ever heard upon God's blessed earth ; he even went so far as to penalize us for the foul made by our opponents.

After the game the Christ Church tribe, with grateful tears in their eyes,

5

profusedly thanked their chum Luce for having saved them from an inevitable defeat.

Pflaum deserves special mention for his goal shooting: Out of seventeen ch ances from the foul line he caged the ball 14 times. Topmoeller, Mahoney, and Schoen fought the game out to the last for all tha t was in them. But the star performer of the conte t was Clasgens: by his superb blocking h e rendered powerless the ponderous Borgeise, Cincinnati's greatest basketball a rtist.

The line-up: S.M.I. - Pfla um and Topmoeller, forwards; W . Mahon ey, Center; Clasgen a nd Shoen, guard .

Christ's Church - Blancha rd and H agarty, forwards ; Botts, center ; Borgeise and Harrigans, guards.

R eferee, Luce; Umpire, Emerick; Timer, J. Zuber ; Scorer ; P. M cK enney; Attendance, 1,200.

The S.M .I. Ba nd, thirty strong, rendered the following selections before the game and between the h alves: Before first ha lf- M arch, "College Life," Trauten; medley, " H appy H eine," Bodewald-Larnpe; " Old Folks at Horne," Foster-Gilmore; medley, two-step, "Sousie, oosie, oo," Sterling.

The University of D ayton Flyer ended the 194 7-1948 ba ketball eason in an unexpected happy note a they capped one of their best easons in many years with a 58-52 up et of Marshall College at Huntington, West Virginia. The welcomed victory brought the fina l season record to 12 wins again t 13 defeat .

DAYTON 58 MARSHALL 52 A tight zone defense that slowed the vaunted M a rshall College fast break to a walk brought the Flyer a n upset win a they closed the lid on the 194 7-1948 ba ketball season.

Marshall swung into a 7-0 lead a t the out et of the game, but with the Flyers tight zone holding them to a slow, deliberate offense in contras t to their usual fast break they soon gave way and the Flyer took a one-point, 19-18 lead midway in the fir t h alf.

From that point the battle wa a nip and tuck affair, with n either team able to gain a commanding lead .

Marsh all took a one-point advantage at the half, 25-24, but with less than three minutes of play, Bill Ginn and Rip West corroborated to give the Flyers a 54-50 advantage. Bob Flynn then scored two quick field goals to insure the Flyer victory.

DAYTON 45 MIM'II 89 For the first half of the return engagement with the Miami Redskins the Flyers h ad hopes of duplicating their 64-53 upset win of earlier in the season. In the early tages, the Flyers played evenly with the Redskin , actually holding a three-point advantage at one point.

Late in the first half, Mi ami began to turn on the power and moved to a 33-20 lead a t halftime. When the R edskins showed the same power as the second half began, the Flyers hopes were dashed and they faded, to go down to the worst defeat of the current eason.

DAYTON 32 XAVIER 57 The offensive low for the Flyers this past season was 32 points, and they hit that low in two games. In the first, the points were enough to give the Flyers a 32-28 win over the University of D etroit. In the second the points were not nearly enough

a nd the Flyer were crushed by the Xavier Mu keteer , 57-32. Xavier held the lead all the way as the Flyers were unable to cope with the powerful Musketeer . At halftime the score read D ayton 17- Xavier 26, a nine-point ma rgin, but it wa meaningles as the M u keteers were already in complete command of the game.

DAYTON 35 TOLEDO 45 The Flyers made their final home appearance of the current season against the T oledo R ockets and bowed to the Rocket but only after one of the mo t avagely-fought ba ttles of the entire ea on. Taking a page out of the hi tory books, the Flyers gave a crowd-pleasing display of the old-fashioned low, deliberate offense. The strategy a lmo t paid off.

The Flyers took the initial lead in the game, at one time holding an 18-11 advantage. By halftime, however, th e Rocket had moved to a 20-19 lead . Toledo led through m uch of the econd half- the best the Flyer could do wa gain a 28-28 tie-but it wa n't until the fin al minutes of play that they did take command . Then Toledo moved to a 39-30 advantage. The Flyers moved within five point with le than two min utes to play at 39-34, but a wi ld coring spree netted the Rockets six points and a ten-point margin of victory.

DAYTON 71 WRIGHT FIELD 38 The return engagement between the Flyers and the Wright Field Kittyhawks was little more tha n a duplication of the first outing between the two quintets. This time the Flyers gained 71 point while they gained but 61 in the first and the soldier gained 38 points in contrast to the 30 they scored in the previous meeting. Otherwise the game was much the arne. Almost from the opening gun the Flyer demon trated their uperiority over the soldier - they took an earl y lead and continued to build the lead throughout the game. The halftime score was 36-22 in favor of the Flyers, and as one oldier, sitting near this writer so aptly put it, "I wonder how high the score will go."

It went to 71 points for the Flyer and to 38 for Wright Field .
