SALUTE TO SENIOR ATHLETES

Dayton Flyer sports fans arc prob­ably well aware that Coach Joe Gavin will lose but three players from his football squad this year by gradua tion. But what they may not know is that player will be los t from less publicized sports or that, among the gradua te will be men who participated in sports in earlier years.

The list that follow , then include. the name of the enior who were ac­tive in sport during their undergrad­uate days at the university, and who may have not received the publicity of some of the other gradua te .

That list includes : Bill Bachus- Football Sta n Groene- Football Bob Dobbins- Football AI Suttman- Football T erry Lynch- Football Jim Fink- Ba ketball and Ba c-

FINKE RECEIVES

WRIST INJURY Jim Finke, the centcrfielder of the

Flyer baseball squad and a member of the senior class, suffered the on ly major injury that has as yet marred the spring sports program.

Finke, who has been doing some fine fi elding and is one of the leading Flyer batsmen, couldn't get out of the way of a fast ba ll thrown by Townsley, the Cedarvi lle pitcher in a recent game. H e caught the pitch on his arm, and as he jogged down to fir t base rubbing his arm, everything seemed to be a ll right.

Later his arm was X-rayed and taped, and Jim went hi way believing tha t the injury was nothing more than a bruise. The next day, when the X-rays were examined, a frantic earch was started to find the man

with the " brui ed arm ." What was wrong? That bruise, in the X-ray pic­tures, had proved to be three broken bone in his wrist.

GOLF The most uccessful of the Flyer

spring sport squads, the Flyer golfers have won six of eight matches to date.

The Flyer links squad, made up of J ack Zimmerman, Tom Kenney, George Zimmerman, Leo Busse, Ned Duffy, and Bob Alexander ha trounced Xavier 230 -30 ; downed Miami twice 140 -120 and 160 -10 0 ; dumped Findlay 11 0 -0 ; edged Kenyon 7-5, and won over Ohio University 90 -20 . The two losses were to Ohio State 21-6, and to Cincinna ti 15-12.

BASEBALL On the diamond the Flyer base­

ba llers have been far less successful. The baseball squad has two victories to show for the cason to da te. One of these victorie wa in the four-game exhibition series played before the opening of the regular season.

The lone win over a collegia te foe was a 9-8 victory over Cedarvill e. That team came back in a return en­gagement to trounce the Flyers 8-3. Other losse to collegia te foes were to Wilberforce 4-0 ; Cincinna ti 9-4; Miami 9-6.

In exhibition games the Flyers downed Moraine, Class AA Dayton sandlot league club, 5-4. In other ex­hibition games played this season, the Flyer lo t to Moraine 3-2, and lost twice to Frigidaire, another Dayton

sandlot club, 6-5 and 5-4. The Flyers were soundly beaten by the Dayton Indians, Dayton's representative in the Cia s A Central League, 23-2. St. Paris, Ohio amateurs handed the Flyers a lop- ided defeat with a score of 17-3.

Errors have been the main fault of the Flyer nine this season with at least two of the collegia te losses coming as the direct result of this misplays. In the second Cedarville game, six errors were directly responsible for Cedar­ville's 8-3 winning margin. Again t Cincinnati, the Flyers donated the Bearcats some five runs by bobble in the field.

TRACK A win in the triangular meet with

Cedarville and Wilmington is the lone win the Flyer thinclads have to show for their first year of track since 1939.
