The Daytonian staff promises a

their orders before December 15.
Any orders taken later than this
date, except from Seniors, have no
guarantee of June delivery.
At a recent Student Council meeting, Rev. Charles Collins, S.M.,
dean of men, asked the council to
approve a suggestion for financing
of the 1957 Daytonian.
suggested all seniors be charged $6
on graduation fees to cover the
cost of a Daytonian, making it
mandatory for all seniors to purchase one.
This would mean, since the 1957
yearbook promises to cost $7800,
$4800 would come from sales, $2000
from advertising, and the administration would have to supply only
$1000 for the printing of the book.

Small Beginning
The beginning was small. The 10
girls even had to purch ase their
own outfits. But in 1947 a military
style uniform was adopted. The
Student council suggested that another type outfit be worn to make
the "Coeds" look like coeds. College girls can generally be seen in
a sweater, skirt, anklets and saddle oxfords, so in 1952 this was designated as their uniform.
Perhaps you wondered how they

"Marching Coeds" was given to
them by TV announcer, Neal Van
Ells, when WLW-D was televising

way to another fin e sc:i ~on via an 84-48 win over Gustavus Adolphus
and an 87-18 conquc· t of the l\li:imi Hurricanes.
In the opening conk t, it was mostly a case of too much height and

points and captain Arlen Bockhorn chipped in with 16.

pointed out earlier in the week, his
squad would be built around eight
players rather than just five and
this he demonstrated quite early in
the game when he brought in Dick

Tom continued to substitute freely and at one time or another used
just about every possible combination.

Somewhat disappointing was the
play of Al Sicking as the big cen·

This lack of scoring at the pivot
spot, however, was made up for in

In the Miami encounter, it was
again a combination of the same
eight who arose to defeat coach
Bruce Hale's Hurricanes 87-48. In
his opening lineup, Blackburn made
two shifts using Dick Bogenrife to
replace Bill Almashy and Don Lane
to supplant Carmen Riazzi. Both
"Bogie" and Lane proved that the
choice was a wise one as each tallied 10 points.
Dayton jumped off to a 2-0 lead
at the 19:49 mark of the opening
stanza and, from that point on,
were never headed. By half-time,
the Flyers commanded a 45-19 lead
and ended the game defeating the
Hurricanes by the same margin as
the Kentucky Wildcats, 39 points.
It might be significant to note that
this year's Flyer club is certainly
not a one or two man outfit. In
their opening contest, it was a

SPORTS PARADE
By Andy Cassells
Banquet Bouquets
Bud Kerr's football Flyers closed out the season on quite ~n optimistic note last week with their annual football banquet at th_e Biltmore
Hotel. Highlight of the entire evening. was. the ~~esentation of the
various annual awards which went to Vic Knstopa1bs as both the outstanding back and the 1956 most valuable player. Al Shanen was named
the outstanding lineman. Bill Smith, captain of this year's Fl~er Eleven,
announced that end Fred Dugan and quarterback Butch Zimmerman
had been picked as co-captain to guide the Flyers in 1957.
Conference Considered
Father Charles Collins, chairman of the athletic board, and head
coach Kerr delivered the key addresses. Father Collins spoke briefly
of the possibility that the Flyers will join the Missouri Valley Conference
but promised that "we won't go in unless they develop an Eastern
Division." Father explained that as the conference stands now,, the
travel to such places as Wichita and Tulsa would present too many
problems. Kerr, in his brief fling as a public orator, praised his assistant coaches "for a job well done." Kerr went on to say, "I'm sorry
that our seniors didn't get another chance to improve this year's
record ••. but, you can be sure that we will continue all efforts to
make next season as enjoyable as possible for both the fans and the
players."
Charles Whalen, who did a tremendous job as toastmaster, told what
turned out to be the best joke of the evning. Whalen informed the
"Flyer family" that Notre Dame is thinking of hiring Adlai Stevenson
as head coach because he only loses once every four years!
Final Notes
Here are a few assorted notes left over from the past gridiron
season. End Fred Dugan and guard Al Shanen have been named to
Xavier's all-opponent team for 1956. Wichita picked Steve Bosway,
Fred Dugan, Emil Karas, Al Shanen and Gary Krause to their honorable mention all-oponent teams. One final note addressed directly to
North Carolina State: the Dayton Flyers were voted the sportsmanship
award by the Wheatshockers from Wichita. Need more be said?
Before we close the football season for good, don't forget to send
In your vote for Ruthie Berner as the 1957 campus queen. Ruth has

deserving of a vote from each and every member of this campus. To

East 42nd Street, New York 17, New York. It'll be two cents well spent.
Blazing Stan
Tom Blackburn and his nardwood ten started out the basketball
season on a very optimistic note by toying with Gus Young's Gusties
to a tune of 84-48. Tom again seems to have come up with the floor
leader in junior captain Arlen Bockhorn. Bockhorn posses the necessary
"take-charge" qualities and should prove more than an ample replacement for the now departed Jim Paxson. Junior Dick Bogenrife
could prove to be the real "sleeper" with this year's Flyers as the
_ likeable 6'2" lad from :J:.ondon, Ohio, dropped in .12 point~ agai!]st the
Gusties. Dick is the rare possessor of a natural shot and will no doubt
kill any team that permits him to sit and shoot; Eastern Kentucky
found this out only too well last season when Dick came off the bench
to drop them with 21 points. In addition to his shooting abilities, "Bogie"
is probably Blackburn's most versitile player as he goes well from
all three positions. Opposing teams could well develop a watchword of
"Beware of Bogenrife."
In their opening contest, the Flyers showed quite a bit of natural
falent but seemed, at many time, to be a little rough around the edges.
The Gusties provided very little opposition, and it was a good thing
too for had the Flyers been going against one of the tougher teams
on the schedule their first half play could well have dampened the
e\'cning. It is the feeling in this corner, however, that Tom will soon
iron out the edges and the Dayton fans will be set for another season
of the best in the country,

lay host to Tommy Black- grmd. F1nt stop for the Flyers
By Buck Albers and Andy Cassells
Today we conclude our series of
Senior Salutes with tributes to the
best of the Flyers' seniors, Captain Billy Smith and end Steve
Bosway.
"The Blur," as Bill was so appropriately named by Pepper Wilson, hails from nearby Hamilton,
Ohio. At Hamilton Catholic high
school, Bill starred in all major
sports and, in 1948, his senior year
he played in the North-South high
school All-Star game. Smith's senior year found him also a member of the state runi1er-up basketball team.
Following his graduation from
high school, Bill joined up with the
most powerful of all teams, the
U.S. Army, and for the next two
years traveled around the country
as one of Uncle Sam's boys. Upon
discharge he enrolled at UD to begin what will go down in history
as one of the greatest Flyer careers. Bill has never been anything
but a starting halfback here at the
hilltop, and in his three varsity
seasons the little Flyer leader carried the ball more times than any
other Flyer in history, a grand total of 303 times. Smith finished
with a career total of 1323 yards
and averaged 3.5 yards this season
but sports a 4.3 mark for three
seasons. Billy's 68 points in three
years was high for Flyer seniors in the scoring department and
his 28 passes caught also topped
the graduating seniors.
Bill considers the 1954 20-12 victory over the then undefeated Miami Redskins as his "biggest kick"
and picks Mississippi Southern as
the best club the Flyers faced in

Bear Invasion
One week from tomorrow, the
Ilcarcats of the University of Cincinnati invade the hilltop. The cats
are rebuilding this season after
losing three starters from the 1955
Dixie Classic championship squad.
Frank Nimmo, red-headed guard
from Cleveland, is the sparkplug
of George Smith's quintet. Nimmo,
all-NIT selection in 1955 and captain of the Cats this year, is a
smooth jump-shot artist and a
hawking defender. Smith has Connie Dierking, a 6'9" junior, working in the pivot, and Wayne Stevens, a 6'3" rebounding wizard at
forward. Around this trio, coach
Smith has built a combination that
could surprise several clubs this
year, which expect no trouble until Oscar Robertson, frosh flash,
can join the UC varsity.

Down Into Dixie
After Christmas, the Flyers move
down to Louisville, Kentucky for
the first Bluegrass Tournament
sponsored by the University of
Louisville. The de-emphasized Iron
Dukes of Duquesne University provide opening-round fire for the
"Big Ten." St. Louis and the
l:ardinals, tangle in the other game
for the right to a place in the finals.
Action begins on December 28 in
Louisville. The Cardinals, pre-season chioce for the national collegiate championship, are ruled
out of post-season tournaments this
season so this is the only oppor•
tunity 'for coach Peck Hickman's
five to capture a major tourney.

1956.
The second half of our senior twosome features 5' 10" end Stephan
George Bosway. Steve came to UD
from Cathedral Latin high school
in Cleveland where he won three
letters in football and, although not
a member of the varsity, did participate in the hoop sport.
After gr.aduation from high
school, Bosway received a four·
year scholarship to Dayton and
began his studies here in September of 1953. He started his career
as a left end, but last season moved
over to the right end slot where
he has stayed ever since. During
the past season, Steve, despite injuries, managed to pull down six
Flyer passes for a total of 74 yards.
His lone scoring point came in the
Miami contest when Faust passed
to him in the end zone for the PAT.
Following graduation, Bosway
will take his commission in the
U. S. Army and hopes to be assigned to the infantry division. Af.
ter his tour of duty, Steve hopes
to become a physical education instructor, preferably in either the
Dayton or Cleveland areas.
