PLAYERS P RESENT OUR LADY OF FATIMA The University of Dayton Players have chosen Our Lady of Fatima as their Lenten production, to be given on April 7, 8, 9, and 10, 1949, at Julienne High School auditorium. Curtain time is 8:30p.m. John I. McGrath, assistant professor of speech and director of the University Players, is directing the ca t which is, in the process of reh earsing. Our Lady of Fatima i a simple and unpretentious drama tization of the striking events which occurred at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. After 30 years, Americans are suddenly becoming conscious of the visitation of Our Lady and its importance in our lives. This interest is more than a temporary religious movement, principally because it signifies a very real and specific menace which affects our economic statu , the preservation of our liberties a nd lives, and the freedom of our F aith . Our Lady warned us about the falsehoods which Russia would spread a nd asked prayers for the conversion of that vast empire. This new play, dramatizing the appearance of Our Lady, "more beautiful than the sun," h as proven to be a huge success. The first presentation in New York City triumphed because the play is a masterpiece in dramaturgy and also becau e of the fact that there is an increa e of devotion to Our Lady of F a tima. Already, a number of out-of-town groups have made plans to come to D ayton for this performance. We would like to suggest that you form your own party and plan to come to this production of the University Players. Tickets are available at $.90 each by writing to the University Players, University of D ayton, D ayton 9, Ohio.

(U. S. Zone. ) " The chief of the religious affairs branch of the educational and cultural relations division, Overseas Military Government in Germany, C. Arild Olsen, h as requested that Fa ther Leimkuhler accept the position. Mr. Olsen stressed the increased interest of the German people in religious matters and the need for improvement in the curricul a and methods of teaching religion. F ath er Leimkuhler's varied experiences a nd background qualify him for the task to be undertaken. His work will entail the tota l field of religious education. Father Leimkuhler will contact the religious a uthorities of all denominations, school advisors and the students themselves. Among F ather Leimkuhler's contributions to the fi eld of religious education are articles for the Journal of R eligious Education and the prepara tion of texts for the University of Dayton Religion D epartment on the Life of Christ a nd Christian M a rn age.

In the absence of F a ther L eimkuhler, Father Thomas Bodie, former U.S. Navy ch aplain and a member of the U.D. religion depa rtment staff, will assume the responsibility of directing the religious program at the university.

FLYER FLEDGLINGS GO TO AAU FINALS The R everend Charle L. Collins, S.M., dean of the university and spokesman for the Academic Council, reports that final authorization h as been given for the University of Dayton Freshman Basketball club, sponsored by the Zimmerman Construction Company, to participate in the ationa l final of the AAU Court Tournament in Oklahoma City, March 13 through 19th. The Flyers Freshmen d ese rv ed their right to take the trip west by copping the state AA U crown, March 6, in Cincinnati, by beating Springfield's Buckeye Incubators 79-55. Only eight players will make the trip, so struggling thru the nationals will be much more difficult. The names of the players making the trip h as not been announced a t this time. The p erson n e l se l ecte d will be coach ed by Tom Blackburn as the N .C.I.T. scheduled for Denver the next week-end.
RED-BLUE VARSITY IN NCIT AT DENVER Denver's mile high location doesn't have much on the spirits of this year's record-breaking contingent of Flyer varsity hardwood sta rs as they prep for their first game in the National Catholic Intercollegiate Tourna ment scheduled for the Rocky Mountain city, March 20 to 26. Coach Tom Blackburn will take eleven men on the trip to D enver. Plans are indefinite a t this writing but Blackburn may go to Oklahoma City to direct the Freshmen team in their contest for National honors in the National AAU Tournament. The National Intercollegiate tourney is the brain child of Tommy Thomas, D enver newspaperman who saw it as the ideal attraction to fill the void left by the transfer of the AAU Tournament to Okl ahoma City. Sixteen teams will squa re off during the single elimina tion meeting with the twelve teams now in th e fold lis ~ed as: St. M ary's College, Winona, Mmn. ; St. Francis, Loretta, Pa. ; St. Ambrose, D avenport, I a. ; Iona, New Roch elle, New York; St. Bonaventure, Olean, N.

Brian McCall
Bria n M cCall, playing his first and last varsity eason on the Hilltop, set a new individual scoring mark with 307 point in 28 game . " M ac" was the backbone of the squad- steady, dependable, the picture of cl ass as he performed in the tough pivot-spot against oversized opponents. Once the ball goes up, the height difference Mac spots his man seems to matter little. H a rdwood moxie seems to pour from every pore as Brian displays the na tural coordin ation which marks the sta ndout a thlete. It a ppears to the bucket hungry followers of the Flyers that M cCall has yet to hear th a t this is the age of specia lization in a thletics - his defensive play is a thing of beauty and he is equally dangerous shooting out of the pivot. Th e center on the current Flyer aggregation could not be called a small ma n- weighing in at 185 and pushing the tape to a lusty 6'2". H owever, M cCa ll's six-two when placed a longs id e toda y's ce nters ranging from 6'4" on up doesn't look so formidable. That M ac had the re pect of the opposition is evident from his being named on the All-Opponent list of the Toledo Rockets. Brian shared hon ors with Mraz ovic h (E as te rn K entucky ), Share (Bowling Green ), Com e rford (L a Sa ll e), and K eris (Chicago Loyola ) among others.

H ere is a brief rundown on the ten games not covered in past issues of the ALUMNUS . DAYTON 61 , J oHN CARROLL 40 A clean sweep of the season's two games with the Blue Streaks was assured Feb. 5 when Brian M cCall's 24 markers paced the Flyers to a 6 1-40 victory on the Dayton home court. DAYTON 40, OHIO UN IVERSITY 57 Ohio U's Bobcats avenged an earlier defeat by the Flyers (5 2-47 ) when thty pulled the season's biggest upset by racking up a 17-point victory on the Coliseum floor F eb. 7. With Dayton 's usual pace-makers way off form it was obvious from the start that nothing was going right. The Flyer trailed 26-23 at intermission. DAYTON 48, ToLEDO 42 An eight-year, nine-game Toledo jinx wa ended F eb. 10 a t the Coliseum when the Flyers turned in a 48-42 upset over the Toledo Rockets. D ayton h eld a 25-14 edge after the first 20 minutes of bruising, bitterly contested ball, and the Rockets, though threatening all the way, were never able to catch up. DAYTON 48, XAVIER 66 Musketeer depth proved too much for the undermanned Flyers F eb. 15 as they dropped a tough one to X avier U . a t the Coliseum. After a brilliant first half in which they built up a 29-28 lead, Dayton's regulars tired in the la te minutes and the alert X avierites rolled ahead. DAYTON 73, ANDERSON 57 The Flyers racked-up their second victory of the season over highlytouted Anderson College Feb. 16 on the Ravens' home court. Eleven D ayton players saw action in the contes t that was clearly a U.D. victory from the start. DAYTON 38, BowLING GREEN 56 Down only four points at intermission (26-22 ) the Flyers fin ally succumbed to a terrific height advantage and dropped a n importa nt one to the Bowling Green Falcons F eb. 19 in the jam-packed O akwood High gym. DAYTON 71, MIAMI 55 In running wild again t an ineffective R edskin five February 24 at O xford, the Flyers marked up their first victory in eight years on the Miami home court and the second basketball win over the Butler county rivals since 1942. continued on page 7

NEVADA Highlight section of the schedule shows powerful Nevada meeting t~e Flyers in an inter ectional clash m Dayton Sunday, November 6, with Mia mi looming formidabl e the following Sa turday, November 12, at Oxford. Getting over the initial hurdle of Xavier in the opening game Saturday, September 24, and St. Bonaventure the following Sunday, October 2, should be made slightly easier by U .D . home ground advantage. Tremendou interest in the annual X avier-University of D ayton game, both in D ayton and the Queen City, resulted in thi fall's double meeting of the clubs - first in D ayton and again in X Stadium in Cincinnati on Sunday, O ctober 30.
MARSHALL Marshall of Huntington listed for Saturday, O ctober 8, could prove troublesome to the Flyer M achine since they will be operating on their home field. Marsh all's 26-20 win over Xavier last fall, and a strong earl y game showing against Miami and the Flyers makes the Big Green a team to be feared.

YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown College scheduled for U.D. Stadium Saturday, O ctober 22, boasts of a two-year record of 11 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties. Split victories over common opponent John Carroll and a 1948, 33-21 victory over Canisius conquerors of the rugged St. Bonaventure (the New York state club that beat San Francisco 20-14 and edged out Dayton 7-6 Ia t fall ) rates Youngstown as a big opponent.
TOLEDO Toledo, a home game set for Saturday, O ctober 15, will bring to town a club superior to the '48 edition . Player talent up from the frosh, big time in size and ability, plus many returning grid veterans will put the Rockets in line to avenge the loss to D ayton last year. The Flyer season will be closed out by a home game with Scranton, Sa turday, November 19. For the last two successive years Scranton has compiled an impressive W 6 - L 3 record against a tough sch edule.
