Spring is here! ( See co-ed sports. Page 4 )
APRIL • 1941
Dear Alumnus: At the half way mark in the "All Out for Dayton" campaign we can point with pride to two very pertinent accomplishments. First, we have already passed last year in membership numbers. Second, there has been an unprecedented amount of interest manifest both on the part of captains and worker and individual alumni as well. Th ere has. not been a solitary objection voiced. Address correction a nd news items are literally flooding in. This is a n evidence of the good will we so urgently need in our association. Let's keep the ball rolling! There ha been some question among individual a lumni as to whether membership payments should be paid direct to the alumni office or to a campaign worker. The answer is, it makes no difference. If you have not been called on by a worker, you may make your donation direct to the alumni office, and your chapter (if you live in a chapter city), will get full credit, or the capta in to whom your name has been assigned, will get credit. Another question has to do with the amount of dona tions. Annual dues h ave been set by the Board of Directors a t $4.00 per year. This figure is a standard. It may be increased or decreased according to the individual alumnus' ability to pay. It may be paid in installments. ANY ~MOUNT IS MOST WELCOME! The important thing is, the Alumni Association needs your moral a nd financial support. The amount of support you are capable of giving is secondary. We know you will do your best. With spring here and the campus in full bloom, the school is a beehive of activity. The final six-week period is just beginning. The under-gradua tes are looking expectantly toward balmy summer days with h er or him ; the seniors are beginning to get that feeling that only you grads who have experienced it can really understand. Faculty members are a ttending academic conferences throughout the middle-west and east. Spring football is in full sway and the varsity nine a nd intra-mural port a re pur uing their recreation on almost every available inch of the campus. It's an apropos paraphrase of Browning to say, "Oh to be in school again, now tha t April's there !"

The football ers were released from grid drill s Tue day a nd now the group are in intensive tra ining for the first game with the Univer ity of Cincinnati, April 18.

Ass't. Coach Jim Carter Directs Grid Hopefuls Spring football practice h as been welding last year's varsity and the freshmen into a smoothly operating collegia te football team. T wo crimmages have been h eld to da te, and both augur of much power for next season when the Flyers will need plenty against such foes as T ennes ee, Marshall and North D a kota. Baujan is boasting of five team s at the present time, and the surprising pa rt of the story is that every one seems good enough to give a ny of the lesser powers D ayton will face nex t season a good run for th e mon y. Outstanding to da te h as been a freshman back from Toledo, H arold
M a uch, who has displayed the same fi ght a nd team spirit which characterized the immortal Jack Padley. Other freshman standouts a re: backs, Jack Castignola, Richa rd Kelly, Milton M cGuire, Don Pinciotti and Eddie Shanahan ; center, Bill Powers; tackles, H arry Bergman, Gifford Leap and J ack M ale; gua rds, Jim Hamby a nd Walter Rudnicki ; and ends, Jos~ph Zoul a nd Cla rence Couture. Another pleasant surprise is the fact that Richard Struga rek, sophomore quarterback, has looked every inch the m an to fill the shoes of the doubtful quarterback position vacat ed by senior Gene Westendorf.

Coed sports have really begun to ta ke on meaning a t the University of Dayton this year. Under the direction of Miss Ardene Stephens, graduate assistant in the department of physical education, the Women's Athletic Association has sponsored a complete, year-round schedule of intramural sports. In the fall the girls played a regular round robin of league competition in soccer. Believe it or not, the coeds weren't too delicate about their technique in this game, either, but no one was hurt as the girl were required to wear soft toed shoes. With the new gym facilities for coed students an exten ive round of intramural basketball was featured for the winter schedule. Other sports on the program were fencing and bowling. Bowling was strictly on the intramural side while a few intercollegiate fencing matches a ppea red on the girls' schedule. With the advent of the clear spring weather, the girls have turned to field hockey, softball, tennis and golf. This is the first year that field hockey ha ever been played on the Flyer campus, and judging from tudent interest, it is here to stay. R esponsible for the student attention to women's sports, i the large freshman class of coeds and the stimulation given to these sports by Miss Stephens, a gradua te in physical education from the American College of Physical Edu cation.
GOLF After a year's absence from the official athletic budget, intercollegiate golf will be supported by the university this season. Prospects for a wellbala nced team a re bright and it looks like this year's edition will add to the brilliant U. D . golf tradition that consists of four team and four individual state cha mpionship m the last nine years. Most likely to see action on the team are John Humm, Metropolitan New York junior champ and victor in the Long I sland junior tournament; H erbert Hayes of Dayton, T ed Chang of Honolulu, T.H., Gus Kinzeler of D ayton, Bill Moran of Freeport, N . Y., and Bob H aley of D ayton.

H aving already urpa 路sed last year's membership total, the 1941 "All Out for D ayton" membership drive goes into its third week with every indication of u ltima te success. But one cha pter h as filed a complete report as yet- Washington, D. C. However, advance reports from the va rious chapters indicate unprecedented interest and a ll chapter presidents seem confident of success. R eports from six captains in noncha pter citie tell the same storyinterest a nd avowed success. As outlined in the last issues of the Alumnus, the purpose of the drive is to obtain 1000 paid memberships a t $4.00. The income thus obtained, $4,000, i needed to carry the a nnual fin a ncial burden of the Association . If this goal is obta ined it will m ean tha t the moneys previously ta ken from the university's opera ting budget for the purpose may be once more directed into much needed academic pursuits. The Associa tion stands a t the crossroads of its recent rejuvenation and its future depend entirely upon the results of the present campa ign. Tha t is why we urge so strongly the support of every capta in, worker a nd individual alumnus in this " All Out for D ayton" campa ign .

Verne and Don Malloy Form U. D~ "Brother Act"" for Uncle Sam There's a whale of a huma n interest yarn in the following two letters from the M alloy brothers, V erne '36 a nd Don '40. V erne's letter is addressed to " Mom and Pop" and comes from the heart of one of Uncle Sam's new cadet flyers. Don, who is in the infantry, has addressed his letter to his little nephew, Jimmy, the
son of Ed M alloy '35. The M alloy brothers were engaged in four intercollegia te sports at the univer ity over a nine-year period a nd were a路lso active in campus affairs. Their "Pop" is H enry J. " Hank" Malloy, long a leading figure in the work of the D ayton Boosters. Here a re the letters :
H ello Mom a nd Pop : Well folks, I did it today. I took her up solo and got along fine. It really made me feel swell. I am about the fifth or sixth ma n to solo. The instructor complimented me after-
D ear Jimmie : Hi Stinky, how a re you? No little ma n, I'm not upsta irs now. I won't be for a long time to come. Don't tell the folk s, Jim, but this a rmy life is a pretty tough racket. The first week we were here they issued rifles to us and we had close order drill. We took a six-mile hike with pack and rifles. Boy Jim, were my dogs ba rking at the end of tha t session. H ave you licked anybody on the street la tely? K eep away from those beer bottles a nd listen to me. The camp covers six squa re miles a nd includes fiftyfive new ba rracks, besides the hospital a rea a nd the regimental a rea. Our sergeant is a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. H e h as been in the a rmy twenty- three years. This week we h ave been on the rifle range every day. Wednesd ay it rained all day and we sloshed in mud over our shoe tops. M an, it was brutal, son. Thursday we were supposed to fire on the ra nge, which by the way, is largest in the world- 230 ta rgets in all. We fired for the first time and little feller it certainly sounded like the real thing when 230 rifles let go at once. The total number of men firing was 1500. The distances were 200 and 300 yards.
