'

Every pha e of the University's d aily life ha been a ffected . Every conceivable step tha t ca n be taken to forward the war effort has been made. One move of this kind wa the establishment of the bond s an d tamp system of alumni assoc ia tion due solicita tion.

HOMECOMING SET FOR OCTOBER 31 D ayton's 1942 H omecoming, necessa rily cur tailed becau e of war-time measures, ta kes place Saturday, O ctober 31. The D ayton-Ma rshall football game highlights the program, the game getting under way a t 8 p. m. T here will be no Friday night bonfire. (W e dor(t waste vital m a terials these days !) Instead, the student Spirit Committee, cu stoma rily in ch arge of the affair, will stage a pep ra lly in the gym a t 8 :30 o'clock, Frid ay night, O ctober 30. Becau se the University now harbors the largest number of boa rding student in its history the dining hall facilities a re taxed to the limit and the annual homecoming luncheon has had to be dispensed with. However, the Class of 1922, holding its twentieth anniversary, will be accommoda ted in the visitors' dining room a t dinner, sta rting a t 6 p. m . The game between M arsh all and D ayton looms as a thriller- possibly the m ost pine tingling engagement of the two teams in their long rivalry. Between h alves, H omecoming ceremonies will be held, fea turing the 1942 H omecoming Queen. She will be elected during the coming week a t a special ba lloting of a ll student groups on the campu . The game will end a t about 10 :30 p. m ., leaving ample time for private gatherings at the down town hotel . Various alumni groups have already

com pleted arrangements for their own get-togethers a fter the game. T here \路Viii be no dance after the game because of the la teness of the hour. I nstead, the H omecoming dance, sponsored by the Spirit Com mittee, will be held Sa turday afternoon a t the Miami hotel, beginning at 4 and continuing until 7 p .m . Michael H auer's orchestra will play. The dance will be supper club style. Tickets a re $1.50 and may be purchased a t the door. The University will have " Open H ouse" Sa turday afternoon for returning grads. H ere will be the ideal opportunity to visit the old haunts and renew friendsh ips. Just how much travel restrictions and the long hours of wa r work will affect H omecoming registra tion cannot be foretold. However, no stone is

being left unturned to make the best of existing conditions with the end in view of showing the returning grads that they are most welcome. T his move is in marked contrast to the large number of universities tha t have been forced to cancel their H omecoming programs entirely.

REUNION FOR '22 Ed Sander is chairman and Frank Elardo, R obert M . Payne a nd Anthony Horva th a re assistants of the twentieth a nniversary pa rty for the class of 1922 to be h eld co-incidental with Homecoming. The group will dine in the visitors' dining hall a t 6 p.m . Sa turday and will sit together a t the game. Following the game they will stage their reunion par ty a t the Brooks cl ub in down-town D ayton .

FLYERS MAKE GREAT STAND AGAINST VOLS The overwhelming size and power of the mighty T ennessee Volunteers proved too much for the valiant F lyers as D ayton was handed its fir t loss of the season by a score of 34 to 6. The Flyers were out- pointed , but fa r from out-fought. They exhibited a n air a ttack which had the V ols on their heels more than once, as Bill Knisley passed the Flyers down the fi eld to 13 first downs. The V ols, who relied la rgely on their powerful running a ttack, were able to chalk up only 11 first downs, but these came in more opportune spots than those of the R ed and Blue. Knisley him elf tossed 11 passes to completion out of 15 a ttempts. The over-all pa s average was 16 completions out of 22 thrown . The Flyers' score came early in the fourth quarter after Castignola and Pinciotti had thrown a series of short pa es which ca rried Dayton to the V ol ' 23. On the second down, Pinciotti faded back and passed to Fenton on the five, who side-stepped a tackler a nd dove into the end zone. The Vols tallied twice within four minute a t the start of the first period, when they converted a quick kick and a fumb le into 13 points. On the second down after the kick-off, C ifers quick-kicked to th e D ayton 6. K n isley punted out, but on the next play Gaffney tore through right tackle on a reverse and raced 40 yards for a (S ee FLYER S, Page 6 )

FIVE "BIG ONES"" FOR THE FLYERS With half of the season's games already in the record books, the Flyers can look back on the creditable record of four win and one loss, having defeated Findlay, Western Michigan, H eidelberg and Miami and lost to T ennessee. But to look back is folly, so the Hilltoppers are ignoring the past record and have their eyes fixed a head on the five "must win" games coming up. XAVIER- Played on the home grounds this year. This game promises to be a real grudge ma tch, with the F lyer out to avenge tha t 27-0 defeat administered by the Musketeers in the snow last season. MARSHALL - HOMECOMING a nd the game of the year for everyone. Eigh t years ago when the D ayton-M a rshall series began the T hundering H erd was just another game on the schedule. But with each succeed ing year the rivalry grew stronger until last year 1,500 fans

journeyed from Huntington to see the Flyers win the "epic of the mud" by a cl o e 7-0 score. This year's game will climax the series, a the wins now stand a t four a piece a nd the H erd i reported to be tougher tha n ever. CH A TT A NOOGA- A newcomer to the D ayton chedul e but certainly not a breather. The Flyers will have to be very careful with this team which earlier in the season put up a stiff battle against Georgia T ech. CINCINNA TI- Tho e who saw the Bearcats play last year will remember tha t the Flyers, as underdogs, had to use a fi eld-goal to eke out a 3-0 victory. The Bearcats are extremely eager to meet the Flyers in Cincinna ti this year. OHIO UNIVERSITY- U.D. is pointing for its first win over the Bobcats since 1938. Ohio U. gave the F lyers a 21-7 defeat in last year's " Turkey Tilt."

score. The kick was good. T enn e ee then kicked-off to Kni ley in the end zone, who returned it to the 25, but fumbled on the tackle. T ennessee recovered a nd within the next three plays scored aga in on the same reverse play. On the next kick-off, Knisley took the ball on the D ayton 12 a nd returned it 49 yards to the Vols' 40. On the next play, a !)ass from Knisley to Fenton was rroori for 20 yards a nd a first down on the T enne see 20 yard line. The threat was short-lived, however, a Pin ciotti , on the next play, faded back to pa . a nd was trapped 15 yards behind scrimm age. The quarter ended after a n exchange of kicks and the score was 13-0. The Flyers opened the second qua rter with a sustained drive which

started on their own 19 a nd ended inches short of a first down on the T ennessee 29. T ennessee took over a t this spot and Hillma n, on a rever e, broke through the line and raced 66 yards to the Flyer four . Dayton held for two plays, but on the third down Gold plunged over for the score. The kick was good and the score was 20-0. The Vols tallied again early in the third period after a 50 yard pa s from Cifers to Lloyd pl aced the ball on the D ayton two. Fuson hit the center of the line for the fourth tou chdown . The goal was good a nd the score was 27-0. After a n excha nge of kicks the Flyers, spurred by a 24 yard run by Knisley, drove down the field to the V ols' 17, but a n intercepted pass by Cifers on hi s 5 yard line ended this threat. The Flyers received their fir t break when Fuson fumbled a bad pass and Strugarek recovered on the T en-

nessee 19. The T ennessee line stiffened and the R ed and Blue warrior were forced to attempt a fi eld goal from a bad angle. The kick was wide and when the quarter ended the score was still 27-0. Castignola opened the fourth period by returning Sla ter's punt from the D ayton 11 to the Dayton 31. H e and Pinciotti then took turns passing the Flyer down the field to the T enne see 23. Pinciotti then stepped back and heaved the touchdown pass to F enton a nd the score was 27-6. The Vol turned on the power after the kick-off and drove down to the Flyer 20, where Long's plunge through the center was good for another core. The kick was good and the score stood a t 34-6. An exchange of punts followed and as the game ended the Flyers were in pos ession of the ball in mid-field.
