Last Round-up . A few lusty puffs, bl own mainly by Coach Paul \.Yard 's tennis tea m, h ave inflated a red a nd blue spring sports ba lloon th at seems destined to lift th e Fl yer a th leti c program to a higher level. The performan ce of the tea ms n ow winding up their spring sch edules indicate U . D. is moving into a topflight well-rounded postwa r athl etic set-up.

Onl y tra ck is mi ss ing fr om th e current sports p icture and the interes t and abili ty of a number of Joey Gavin's fresh footba ll crs who wil l be read y for varsity competition next year foretell of better things to come on the cinder path . Coach Wa rd, who moves each afternoon from test tubes to tenni s tac ti cs, has come up with th e surprise of th e spring sports progra m with his hi gh flyin g n etters. This is onl y the second yea r th e Flyers have taken to th e courts since the war, but Wa rd's team has clipped off a 9 won and three lost record and looms as a club to be reckoned with. On ly State, Indiana U. , and Wright Field h ave bee n able to trim the Flyer tennis tea m. Flyer ace, Billy O 'Neill salvaged some Dayton prestige by knocking off the No. I men of th e res pec tive Buckeye and Hoosier teams and Wright Field dropped two ma tches to the Flyers. Fine showing by D ave Riney and a winning pace by th e unpredictable Dun Mudd have d one much to keep the F lyers in front. Nate Newkirk and Ea rl Kronenberger have come up with a good percentage of sing le victories a nd also h ave been key men in the doubles pi cture. AI Ponce h as worked his way into the tennis picture a nd seems to be the "endurance kid" of th e netters. M an y of Pon ce's m atch es go to three sets. Clete Oberst, sophomore basketball sta r, has been opera ting with th e doubl es play and may move into sing les before too long. A strong point of Ward 's club is the fac t tha t it will return practi cally intact next year. The Flyer coach is hoping to line up the top collegiate teams in neighboring sta tes for th e '5 1 sch edule. After a slow sta rt H arry Ba ujan and J ohnn y M arsch all have come up wi th a promising dia mond crew th at a lso is blessed with a crop of und erclassmen th at will be returning n ext year.

THE SPEAKERS AT THE INVITATIONAL LUNCHEON HELD MAY 16 AT THE MIAMI HOTEL

are left to right: The Honorable Charles J. Brennan, Toastmaster; Most Rev. Floyd L. Begin , clerical speaker; Senor Don P. Merry del Val , Cultural Relations Counselor, Spanish Embassy; The Rev. Juniper B. Carol , O .F.M., recipient of the Marianist Award , and Rev. George J . Renneker, S.M., President, University of Dayton . All took part in the Centennial luncheon .

Several promising hurlers give the Flyers hopes of a fin e season next spring. The '50 Fl yers have been playing .500 ball and seem to h ave the needed hitting power. H owever, errati c fielding a nd wildness of pitchers was costly in early ga mes. Lee Falke and Dick Zimmerman have turn ed in fine performances on the mound with Chuck McDaniel handling assignments when a southpaw was need ed. Chubby Leland (Junior ) Norris clubbing a t an amazing .594 h as been the key man in th e hitting attack. Another sophomore, Gordon Elliott, outfield er, is clipping along at .421 . Bobby Arnzen, shortstop and one of three se niors on th e club, is hitting .333 . Arnzen, M cD ani el a nd infi elder Mike Toohey are the only seniors on th e team. Bernie Gu il foyl e, pitcher and infield er, currently hitting .2 77 and fast moving outfielder Jim Mott are the only two juniors. Th e remainder of the squad arc soph omores. With the host of sophs and a number of promising frosh, the Flyer diamond picture is bright for '51. T ommy Blackburn 's golfers have had more th an th eir share of troubles this spring. Even Jack Zimmerman, golf ca pta in and tops in D ayton, has had trouble winning. The Flyers finished fifth in th e state golf tourney and Blackburn has high hopes of coming up with a first class links club next spring.
