Practice Field Plans Announced Work will start immediately on a ten-acre U.D. playground and recreational area directly east of the footba ll stadium, university officials announced today. R ev. G eorge J. R enneker, S.M., president, said authorization to proceed with the project h as been received from the Society of M a ry Superiors. Fr. R enneker said, "The development of this land is a part of the University's over-a ll building plan, and coupled with the new fieldbouse will give our students the longneeded recreational facilities." The plot to be developed will contain a football practice fi eld, a regulation baseba ll dia mond (with space for bleachers) and a third field, for touch football, field hockey and other sports. The " playground" will be used by the Athletic Department for varsity sports, for an expansion of the intramural program, by the Military Science D epartment for ROTC and by the student body as a general recrea tional area. Bro. Jerome M cAvoy, S.M., business m anager of the University, pointed out, "The area will be worked in three phases with the first, the football practice fi eld, to be completed by spring, 1950." The influx of students immediately following the war necessita ted the addition of many temporary buildings and the expansion of the University parking lot. Space consumed by the buildings and lot resulted in a loss of the baseball diamond a nd recreational area. "Wh en the present proj ect is completed the original facilities will be replaced by much b etter facilities," Bro. M cAvoy stated . Preliminary work, the clearing of trees, transplanting of shrubs, a nd removal of sod, is out of the way. H eavy grading equipment will tart a t once on section one, a n a rea of 400 x 200 feet.

Joe G avin was right. Back in Aug ust, as quoted in the Flyer football press book, the fiery University of D ayton grid coach predicted hi club would lose three games. They did. With such outsta nding clubs as evada, St. Bonaventure, X avier, and Mia mi, along with a supposedl y strong Youngstown and improved Tol edo aggregation on the schedule, Gavin felt his cha rges were in for a rough season. What G avin hadn ' t figured on were two losses to Xavier. But the Flyers backed up th eir coach' prediction by sla pping down the Bonnie a nd a highly regarded Nevada Wolf Pack in games that experts picked would find the D ayton eleven on the losing end . Probably th e greatest asset of the '49 Gavin-coached club wa its a:bility to " rebound," a feature tha t endeared it to loyal D ayton boosters.
forecas t as a close contes t. It wasn't. The Fl yers had little trouble winning 4 7-1 4.
YOUNGSTOWN Then Youngs town's high scoring. Penguins come over to h elp th e Flyers celebra te H omecoming. The point ha ppy Peng uins got oniy 7 tallies and Gavin's club wound up U.D. Week a nd the big Centennial celebra tion in a 71-7 rout.
XAVIER Then the Fl yers trucked off to Xa vier a nd their second loss of the sea on, this time by 14-0 core. It was a game in which a number of " littl e things"- a ma tter of inch es on a pass or a single yard on a playcost th e Fl yers heavily.
NEVADA XAVIER A less courageous club probabl y would have folded, or pl ayed only mediocre ball, after being thumped in the opener 21-7 as the Flyer were by the then underdog X avier Musketeers.
BONNIE To make ma tters worse th e Fl yers found themselves on the short end of a 13-0 score in the first 10 minutes of their second game of the s ason in a cl ash with St. Bona venture. Then the Flyers caught fire. They called on The H yphen and L eroy K a-ne pounded up the sideline 46 yards to score . . . a nd the Fl yers were off and running. They won 28-1 3.
MARSHALL At Marshall it was th e same story - the Flyer couldn't get ahead . Sta rting the second h alf, Ga vin called on the injured Art Bok. Bok took the kick-off back 13 yard . H e smashed through tackle for 20. It was the spa rk the Flyers n eeded. Th ey finished going away 40-2 3.
TOLEDO T oledo moved in for what was
But th e Flyers came back. The very next week they stepped out to ch eck Nevada's offense-minded Wolf Pack. It was Bernie Otten's talented toe, with R ay J anaszek holding, tha t netted the Flyers their 16-14 win as Nevada fini shed fast with two touchdowns in closing minutes of the grid thriller. But on th e ground it was J a rrin ' Johnny Dclp and th e romping Ripper, J a naszek, th a t kept the Flyer in the ba ll game a nd gave them a wm.
OXFORD At Oxford, th e Fl yers ra n into "one of tho e games." They pushed Miami all over the field for slightl y more th a n three q uarters. Then th e roof fell in. Final score : Mia mi 53, D ayton 20.
SCRANTON Still G avin's club didn' t fold . On the contra ry- it ex pioded . And the U niversity of Scra nton Royals, wh o had ba ttl ed such teams as Boston U. , and Fordh a m on even terms before being worn down in fin al q uarters, received one of th e worst shellackings of their grid career. Th e Flyers had a t least J5 good reasons to win that Scra nton fi nale. F or the Fl yers 15 players were wearing the Rcd an d Blue for the last time.

Out for th e last time was th e "Digger." The kid th a t came up from ob scurity to be picked by the Flyers as th eir captain for 1949Willia m J. Gutbrod. And the guy who pl ayed a longside Bill - Bob (Pop ) Dunn and on across the line - Bob W agner, the Fl yers' fin e offensive gua rd ; J ack W agner, the middle m an working a longsid e his brother ; Bob (H ook ) M aier, who got his cha nce thi year and m ade good ; those two line plungers, Ed R eidy and AI Speth. And after a great comeback in th e closing game was the guy who h ad been a big gun for two years, but had been h andicapped with injuries most of '49, All-Ohio tackle Bill L ange . . . a nd tho e other two fla nkmen, D ayton 's Gus Shroyer and th e end tha t ran like a h alfback, Dale Babione. Pl aying their last day in the backfi eld were the little workhor e, Bill M cKinley; lanky Bob Schaefer, who turned in one of the best games of his career ; R ay J anaszek, who persona lly outgained Young town a nd Nevada in rushing in those two games; a nd two of the bes t backs th e Flyers have ever had- J ohnny D elp a nd th e great a nd a rtful Art Bok. They sma hed Scra nton 54 to 0 in the fitting end of an era. An era th a t sta rted back in 1923 when H arry C. Ba uj a n became head foo tba ll coach . For the 路e were the las t of th e Flyers who played under Ba uja n . I t's your ba ll, M r. Gavin.

The Flyers 1949-50 cage crew is a hand-picked unit. But Coach Tom Bl ackburn is worried. "Most of them a re so phomoresand you never can tell about sophomores," Bl ackburn says, adding, "We are still a year away." Blackburn bases his stand on the fact that eight of the 12 Flyer eager will be playing in varsity competition for the first time. However, the eight were key members of the Flyers' sensationa l frosh squad of last season that won 33 of 36 games. Back from last year's varsity, a ll lettermen, a re Dick (R azor ) Campbell, 6' 3" , guard ; Bobby Flynn, 5' 7" , forward ; Gene Joseph, 5' 10", forward, and J ack Zimmerman, 6' 1", g uard . Campbell, kingpin of the Flyers' crew, was second highest scorer of the last season with 259 points in 30 games. (Bria n M cCall, lost through grad uation, was tops with 327.) D e-
spite his lack of size, Flynn figures prominently in the Flyer basketball picture this year. H e slipped through 235 point last season. The Flyers' rebound stock should climb this season along with the club's h eight a verage which las t year was only around the six-foot mark. L ack of tall players ham pered Flyer backboard work last winter. The Flyer h ave three skyscrapers for the pivot post. umber one prospect is D on ( Monk ) M eineke, 6' 7" . Then there's Chuck Grigsby a t 6' 6" , who al o may operate at forward. The third of the trio is a lad Blackburn fee ls has th e makings of a great player- he's Bob Busse, 6' 4". Also com ing up from th e frosh are Leland (Junior) Norris, 220-pound, 6' 1" guard, along with Pete Boyle, 6' 3", and C lete Oberst, 6' 1", both guards. Forwards a rc Jim Hough , 6' 2" , and Dick Zimmerm an, 6'- th r li ttle rnan of the varsity newcomers. And No. 13 comes into the Flyer hangar at the semester. H e's D on
7
Bolton, 6' 2" guard, upon whom Blackburn is counting for a big boost the la tter h alf of the season. There's a rugged sch edule ahead of the Flyers this year. But it's the kind of rugged road tha t leads to the na tional basketball spotlight. But don't get up any false hopes. As Bl ackburn says, the Flyers may still be "a year away."
