FLYERS BOW TO TENNESSEE IN SEASON'S FIRST LOSS The Flyers invaded the major leagues of collegiate football when they travelled to Knoxvi lle to face mighty Tennessee on O ctober 11 . A the fin al whistle was blown the D ayton team was on the short end of a 26 to 0 score but nevertheless had turned in a creditable performance aga inst a team that had been defeated but once in three seasons and which could throw numerou reserves into the fray against the much lighter Dayton team. During most of the first quarter the two teams seemed even ly matched in everything except the punting departmen t. The long, booming kicks of the Vol backs kept the Flyers in their own territory. L ate in the fir t period came the fir t break of the game. The Flyen had chalked up two succes ive fir~ t downs on an end aro und by Beno K ei ter and a n end sweep by Bill Kni ~足 ley a nd seemed to be marching. 1-Iowever, on the next play Tennessee\ Bill Nowling intercep ted .Jerry '-'~' e s足 tendorf's short pass into the fl at anJ -returned the ball to the Dayton 28. Passes put the ball on the 5, from

where the Vols . cored the first tut..chdown of the day. T ennessee scored twice more in the second qua rter as weak Fl yer punt gave them the ba ll deep in Dayton's territory. They scored their second on a pas from the 34 a nd the third on a reve rse from the 20.

Coach Barnhill of T ennessee showed his respect for the Flyers when, despite a 20 to 0 lead, he kept his first stringers in to start the second half. The Flyer played the Vols on even terms in the third period, but a sensational run in the last quarter brought a nother marker. Don Pinciotti, F lyer fu llback, had kicked a long punt to the T ennessee 26 where W alter Sla ter, sensational Vol back, picked it up and raced 74 yards to a touchdown. DAYTON

Although trailing by four touchdowns the Flyers continued to fi ght. .Jim Fenton had made a first down on the 4 1. Castignola was na iled for a ten yard loss. Pinciotti dropped back to kick but ra n the ball in stead . Right up the middle he went and through the whole T ennessee team to the Vol 39, where he was brought down by the last ma n between him a nd pay dirt after a run of 33 yards. On the next play the Flyer lost their scoring chance when a fumbl e was recovered by Tennessee. The Flyer were beaten, but it had been a bruisin~~; battle a nd surpri ingly enough the Dayton forward wall would !"rant nothing to the much heav ier Tennessee line a nd many times smashed through to throw Vol backs for losses.

JIM FIORITA GAINS SEVEN YARDS AGAINST VOLS. Thi action was in the second quarter of the game between the F lyer a nd the Vol of Tenne see. Fiorita, No. 37, is seeking to evade Danny Ledford , o. 38, who is being blocked out by Bob Mcintire, wearing nosegu ard, a nd Paul Rya n, Dayton center, shown driving into Ledford . .Johnny Gold, No. 70, fina lly made the tackle.

Flyers have not been scored upon in the home stadium. An 18 yard field goal by Beno Keiter la te in the first qua rter accounted for the first Dayton score. The Flyers continued to hold the offensive edge but lacked scoring punch till the fourth period when two sensational runs accounted for the other scores. The first of the e came as Lou Priske, junior end, took the ball on an end around and galloped 56 yards to a touchdown. A few plays later Harold Mouch , shifty sophomore halfback, took the ba ll on hi own 48 and travelled 52 yards to core. Walt Zach placekicked the extra point. The Miami team played a great defensive game but could get no fa rther than the Dayton 30 in their offensive drives. The first downs were I I to 1 in favor of the Flyers.

RED AND BLUE GETS REVENGE AT WICHITA With Joe Quinn, senior halfback, chalking up two touchdown , the Flyers defeated Wichita, 14 to 6, at Wichita, Kansas, on October 25. It was the fifth win in six games for the Flyers. Wichita took the lead early in the game a they scored their only

tou chdown of the day. Lyle Sturdy, Shoc ker fullb ac k, ki c ked out o f bounds on the D ayton five. Two plays la ter Joe Quinn's punt wa caught by a strong wind a nd travelled only to the 12 yard line. From here Wichita scored on a pass into the end zone. Later in the same quarter Quinn put the Flyers back in the ba ll game on his beautiful 80 yard ja unt to pay dirt. K eiter placekicked the ex tra point and the Flyers went into the lead. In the third qua rter D ay ton chalked up a nother touchdown, this time with Quinn scoring through left tackle from the Wichita 18. H ere K eiter again converted . The game was played on a muddy gridiron, which gave little opportunity for D ayton ' pony backs to display their wares. The Flyers had six first down to three for Wichita .

SEEN AT KNOXVILLE In addition to the thousand or more D aytonians who followed the Flyer to Knoxville last October 11 , another delegation came from the length and breadth of the land-all loyal alumni. Among those seen a t Knoxville were the following :
