It is published to give other ch apters an idea of the excellent work and activities being conducted in the Cleveland Club.) D ear Alumnus: Your officers a nd their trustee at th eir last meeting thought it would be a good idea to report to the membership the progress of ou( rejuvena ted local a lumni organization after the first six month period . M eeting have been held regula rl y on the second Wednesday of each month and it h a been noted that there are a lways ome new faces pre en t at each meeting. The practice of inviting the wive and weeth earts has proven very ucce ful, h elping to encourage regula r attenda nce and creating a more ocial a tmosphere. Social plans include those who come tag. In genera l the meetings follow a pattern of a busines se sion, after which some form of ocial entertainm ent is pl a nned. It i the aim of our club to limit the bu ine e ion to every other meeting a nd to make it brief o a to utilize each monthly meeting a much socially a possible, believing that the m ember want to spend the evening with their friends, reliving college day . Your present group of officers was elected to serve only until M ay, and it was recommended tha t a t the coming M ay election the new officers be elected to serve for a period of seven months or until J a nuary 1st, 1949. Why not come and h elp in the selection of the e officers? The Christmas dance was an outsta nding social success and as a result plans a re in the ma king for our next get-together: A SUMMER .PICNIC. With the momentum that can be furni shed by the wive to promote uch an affair, its uccess is automatically guaranteed. Wouldn't it be a good idea for each alumnus who

Paul Layton to Practice in Osborn Throughout the years, many varied types of students have walked the halls of th e University of D ayton . Students of every walk of life, of many nationalities, races and creeds, with various abilities or disabilities. Of these, it is hard to recognize all of them for their achievements. Once in a while there is an outstanding one

who teps before the spotlight and receives all the tribute showered his way, which he o justly deserves. Pa ul M . Layton, a man of thirty years of age, was born without a rms. At th e present time, the University of D ayton Alumnu would like to pay him specia l tribute for hi courage a nd determina tion. D espite his physical h a ndicap, Pa ul is to gradua te from Ohio State University Law School in M arch of 1943. As a boy, Pa ul recalls h ow it took every ounce of courage h e posse sed to turn from the bitterness he felt, in order to care fo r him elf. H e substituted his feet and toes for hand a nd fingers. From the beginning he refused aid, insisting upon doing things for himself. With patience and a great deal of fortitude, he learned to write, pick up a book and turn the pages, handl e eating utensils, shoot a rifle, and play the piano ... all with the use of his toe . Playing the piano trengthened his foot muscles and after he had accomplished this, he set out to learn to drive an automobile. When he finally a pplied for his driving license, h e was refused . The reason given was because of his disability a nd his short stature. Without any hesita tion, Pa ul took his case to court, a nd won. H e not only obtained his driving licen e, but received the inspira tion to take up the tudy of law. H e entered the U niversity of D ayton in September, 1942, and fini h ed his pre-law course in June, 1944. In the fall of tha t year he entered Ohio State University Law School, and will be graduated this March. H e exContinued on Page 5.

But tha t isn't a ll of the tory, for a the whistle was blown for the game to begin, both coaches were equa lly surprised again, to find that the officials for the game were none other than Beno K eiter, '42, and Jim F enton, '43, who also played on the ame teams with "Bo" and Bill.

At a first glance the Flyers' record of ten victories and eleven defeats is not particularly impressive. However a glimpse at records of Flyer cagers in seasons past will show that in only ten previous seasons in all of U.D. 's cage history ha a Dayton quintet been able to win ten or more games. Seven of those seasons were before World W ar I. Thus the Flyers' ten wins ma rk the fourth time in the last thirty year - the second in the last twenty- that a Flyer quintet h as been able to win that many games. The current edition of the Flyers is the high est scoring quintet in U.D.'s cage history. Some weeks ago, they erased the schools single-game scoring record by pouring an even 100 points through the n ets against Concordia College of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In the twenty-one games played to da te, the Flyers have scored 1194 points, 200 more than any previous quintet was able to score in a single season. The present average, of 56.8 points per game, is also the highest in D ayton's cage history. Five of the Flyers have scored a hundred or more points this eason. Two of these, Jim Arndts with 216 points and Bill Ginn with 215, are well over the two hundred ma rk. Rip West, with 190 points, Gene Wolke, with 140, and Bob F lynn, with 123, complete the quintet.
Anderson 86 Dayton 65 Holding a halftime lead of 35-34, the Flyers continued to set the pace till midway in the second half before faltering and bowing to Anderson College at Anderson, Indiana. The loss gave the Flyers a record of 10 wins again t 11 defeats and brought their record below the .500 mark for the first time this season. The score was tied 49-all when Anderson staged its rally to go on and win. Paced by their high-jumping center, Wilson, who checked in with 27 points for the night's work, Anderson swept past the fading Flyers to score an amazing 37 points in the final ten minutes of play.
Baldwin-Wallace 71 Dayton 58 Traveling to Cleveland, Ohio, for a game with the Yellow Jackets of Ba ldwin-Wallace, the Flyers found
the going tough and bowed 71-58. The Flyers were without their usual spark against the Yellow Jackets, and though they held close through the first half, were never really in the ball game.
Xavier 72 Dayton 52 Xavier's Musketeers displayed the precision and versatility tha t has placed them as one of the top basketball squads in the country, as they easily defeated the Flyers in the Dayton coliseum, February 10. At one point, early in the first half, the Flyers h eld a one-point margin over Xavier, but the Musketeers soon took the lead, to build up a 37-29 margin at h alftime. Di playing phenomenal shooting accuracy in the second half, the Musketeers found an easy time in building up their twenty-point winning margin.
Dayton 32 Detroit 28 The finale in a three-game road trip for the Flyers - earlier on the same trip the Flyers met Toledo and Bowling Green- found the Dayton boys a tired quintet, but not so tired but that they were able to eke out the second victory of the eason over the Detroit Titans. The Flyers' 32 points were the fewest points scored by D ayton in any game this year, but they were enough to give them a fourpoint margin over the Titans. The low-scoring contest saw D etroit hold the lead until the closing minute of the second h alf, when the Flyers moved to th e front to take the 38-28 decision.
Bowling Green 71 Dayton 68 Pl aying under experimental rules, which allowed the player three fou ls in each half and which saw the ball moved to the neare t free throw circle or the center circle for jump balls, the Flyers came to within three points of upsetting the power-laden Falcons of Bowling Green. Displaying aggressive play and orne of the sharpest shooting of the season, the Flyers took a 33-27 lead at the halftime. The Falcons used their superior height to take over the lead midway in the second half. Bowling Green

never relinquished that lead, but the Flyers continued to breathe on their neck throughout the contest. With but fifteen seconds remaining, the Flyers were behind by but one point. At tha t point, the F alcons countetl two free throw to give them a 71-68 wm.
Toledo 53 Dayton 39 The loss of three regulars in the closing minutes of the game nullified a performance which to that point h ad been a brillia nt effort on the part of the Flyers. The Dayton boys became the sixteenth victim of the Toledo Rockets. The Flyers were within two points of the Rockets, when with but five minutes of play remaining, Bill Ginn, Jim Arndts, a nd Rip West were lost on foul , en abling Toledo to build up its winning ma rgin. The lead seesawed back a nd forth in th e first h alf with neither team able to take a substa ntial lead until the Rockets built a 27-21 advant.1ge at the half. The Flyers closed the gap, pulling within two points of the Rockets when the three players and any chance the Flyers had of winning were lost.
Cincinnati 68 Dayton 34 The Bearcats of Cincinna ti bared their claws at Cincinna ti, Februa ry 2, a nd the Flyers went down to one of the worst defeats of the current season. The Flyers were never close in the contest. which saw the Bearcats sweep to a ' 32-12 advantage a t halftime. In the second ha lf it was just a matter of how many points th e Bearcats would run up as they moved to an easy 68- 34 decision .
Dayton 100 Concordia 4 7 Playing at X enia, Ohio, the Flyers ran up the highest single game total in U.D.'s basketball history while downing Concordia College of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Five Flyers scored ten or more point in the record breaking game-Bill Ginn was tops with 23-and all the Flyers contributed to the three-figure total. The Flyers moved to an earl y lead, completely dominating the play from the opening whistle. At half-time the F lyer had scored 51 points, enough to win many ball games, and they continued the terrific point-making pace until the final gun. Bernie Guilfoyle scored but one lone field goal
in the contest, but tha t goal came in the fin a l minute of play to bring the Flyers' total to a n even 100 poins.

Dayton 5 4 Detroit 50 A seesaw ba ttle, which saw the lead chancre h a nds six t imes in th e first half, found the F lyers eventua lly squeezing out a four-point margin of victory' over D etroit's Titans in the D ayton Coliseum . The game was one of the roughest battle the Flyers h ave engaged in all eason as the Titan proved themselves fa r more adept with the elbow and the knee than they were with a basketball. The rough tactic , however, p aid off for D ayton in the end, for the Flyers' twelve free throw against the Tita ns' ix produced the margin of victory. The Flyers held a 25-22 ma rgin a t the half, and early in the second jumped ten points in front of Detroit. The Tita ns closed the gap, however, and but for the Flyers' free throw m argin could have won the game.
Dayton 73 Wilmington 4 9 Superior h eight and speed brough t the Flyers an easy win over Wilmington College in the D ayton Coliseum . D ayton was n ever pressed in the contest as they moved to an earl y lead a nd continued to build tha t lead till the closing seconds of the game. D ayton's h alf-time lead wa 36-17, and Wilmington never came within 15 point of the Flyers during the remainder of the game.
Cincinnati 61 Dayton 4 3 Accura te foul-shooting kept the Flyers close to the Bearcats in the first half of the game played a t the Coliseum, but the Flyer faded in the second and Cincinna ti swept to an easy win. The Bearcats h eld a 27-2 3 ha lf-time margin- ten of the Flyers' 23 points coming from 12 a ttempts a t the free throw line. Coming back in the second h alf, the Eearcats dumped 18 point before the Flyers could mesh a single one. The lone bright spot for the Flyers in the second h alf was a short uprising on the p art of Bob Flynn, the Flyers' diminutive for ward . With the Bearcats leading by some twenty points, Bob tried to close the gap single-handed . H e succeeded in scoring

"Earlier the Flyers h ad shown signs of m aking a ba ttle of the game, ta king an early lead and holding it throughout much of the first h alf.
