FLYERS BOW TO TENNESSEE IN SEASON'S FIRST LOSS

Coach Barnhill of T ennessee showed his respect for the Flyers when, despite a 20 to 0 lead, he kept his first stringers in to start the second half. The Flyer played the Vols on even terms in the third period, but a sensational run in the last quarter brought another marker. Don Pinci­otti, F lyer fu llback, had kicked a long punt to the T ennessee 26 where Wal­ter Sla ter, sensational Vol back, picked it up and raced 74 yards to a touchdown.

The Flyers invaded the major leagues of collegiate football when they travelled to Knoxvi lle to face mighty Tennessee on O ctober 11 . A the fin al whistle was blown the D ay­ton team was on the short end of a 26 to 0 score but nevertheless had turned in a creditable performance aga inst a team that had been defeated but once in three seasons and which could throw numerou reserves into the fray against the much lighter Dayton team.

During most of the first quarter the two teams seemed evenly matched in everything except the punting depart­ment. The long, booming kicks of the Vol backs kept the Flyers in their own territory. Late in the fir t period came the fir t break of the game. The Flyen had chalked up two succes ive fir~ t downs on an end around by Beno K ei ter and an end sweep by Bill Kni~­ley and seemed to be marching. 1-Iow­ever, on the next play Tennessee\ Bill Nowling intercep ted .Jerry '-'~ ' e s­tendorf's short pass into the fl at anJ -returned the ball to the Dayton 28. Passes put the ball on the 5, from

where the Vols . cored the first tut..ch­down of the day. T ennessee scored twice more in the second quarter as weak Flyer punt gave them the ball deep in Dayton's territory. They scored their second on a pas from the 34 a nd the third on a reve rse from the 20.

Although trailing by four touch­downs the Flyers continued to fi ght. .Jim Fenton had made a first down on the 4 1. Castignola was nailed for a ten yard loss. Pinciotti dropped back to kick but ran the ball instead . Right up the middle he went and through the whole T ennessee team to the Vol 39, where he was brought down by the last man between him and pay dirt after a run of 33 yards. On the next play the Flyer lost their scoring chance when a fumble was recovered by Tennessee. The Flyer were beaten, but it had been a bruis­in~~; battle and surpri ingly enough the Dayton forward wall would !"rant nothing to the much heavier Ten­nessee line and many times smashed through to throw Vol backs for losses.

JIM FIORITA GAINS SEVEN YARDS AGAINST VOLS. Thi action was in the second quarter of the game between the F lyer and the Vol of Ten­ne see. Fiorita, No. 37, is seeking to evade Danny Ledford , o. 38, who is being blocked out by Bob Mcintire, wearing noseguard, and Paul Ryan, Dayton center, shown driving into Ledford . .Johnny Gold, No. 70, fina lly made the tackle.

Flyers have not been scored upon in the home stadium.

An 18 yard field goal by Beno Keiter la te in the first quarter ac­counted for the first Dayton score. The Flyers continued to hold the of­fensive edge but lacked scoring punch till the fourth period when two sen­sational runs accounted for the other scores. The first of the e came as Lou Priske, junior end, took the ball on an end around and galloped 56 yards to a touchdown. A few plays later Harold Mouch, shifty sophomore halfback, took the ball on hi own 48 and travelled 52 yards to core. Walt Zach placekicked the extra point.

The Miami team played a great defensive game but could get no far­ther than the Dayton 30 in their of­fensive drives. The first downs were I I to 1 in favor of the Flyers.

RED AND BLUE GETS REVENGE AT WICHITA

With Joe Quinn, senior halfback, chalking up two touchdown , the Fly­ers defeated Wichita, 14 to 6, at Wichita, Kansas, on October 25. It was the fifth win in six games for the Flyers.

Wichita took the lead early in the game a they scored their only

touchdown of the day. Lyle Sturdy, Shoc ker fullb ac k, ki cked out o f bounds on the Dayton five. Two plays la ter Joe Quinn's punt wa caught by a strong wind a nd travelled only to the 12 yard line. From here Wichita scored on a pass into the end zone. Later in the same quarter Quinn put the Flyers back in the ba ll game on his beautiful 80 yard jaunt to pay dirt. Keiter placekicked the ex tra point and the Flyers went into the lead.

In the third quarter D ay ton chalked up another touchdown, this time with Quinn scoring through left tackle from the Wichita 18. Here K ei­ter again converted . The game was played on a muddy gridiron, which gave little opportunity for Dayton ' pony backs to display their wares. The Flyers had six first down to three for Wichita .
