Seven Gold Stars Mounted on University Service Flag Since Last Springes Report
HANGING on the wall of the Alumni Office is a gold-corded, gold-tringed service flag, or banner, on which are mounted gold stars only. Under each star there is em- broidered in blue script letters the name of the Ohio University man for whom the star stands as a memorial. There are now fourteen such stars.
First Lieut. Kennclh W.Butler
Seven of the casualties which have occurred in the ranks of Ohioans were reported in The Ohio Alumnus last spring. These misfortunes brought death to Lieut. John P. Robbins, '41x, Jackscn: Lieut. Robert D. Clark, ■4IX, Cleveland; Lieut. Ray- mond Oliver, '38, Byesville; Lieut. Carl E. Danner, Jr., "40, Marion; Ensign Charles K. Potter, ■42x, Cal- verton, N. Y.; Lieut. John P. Burns, "41x, Akron; and Lieut. Byron Exelby, '40, Cleveland. All of these men were members of the Army Air Force with the exception of En- sign Potter.
Since the appearance of the June Alumnus the reports of seven other deaths have been received.
Aviation Cadet Alfred J. Jones, ■42x, Sharon, Pa., was killed in- stantly. May 27, 1942, in the crash of a Navy airplane at the Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, Fla. Cadet Jones, who had completed three
years at Ohio University, was within a few weeks of the receipt of his commission as a flying officer.
First Lieut. Kenneth W. Butler, '41x, Lenox, Iowa, was reported by the War Department to have been shot down over the Mediterranean Sea in the African Middle Eastern Theater, July 9, 1942, while piloting a B-24 "Liberator" bomber. Fellow fliers were reported to have seen his blazing plane sink, and while the official report is "missing in action," it is assumed that the entire bomber crew was lost. The deceased was a nephew of Lieut. Ernest E. Ray, '24, on leave from his position as professor of accounting at Ohio University and now in Army Air Corps Administration at Maxwell Field, Ala.
An account of the probable death of Col. Frank B. Goettge, 20x, U. S. Marine Corps, Kent, will be found elsewhere in this issue
Pvt. John Sloan Davis, '29x, Jackson, died Sept. 2, 1942, at Camp Stonan, Calif., where he was en- gaged in the Army's public relations program. No details of his death have been received by the Alumni Office. He is credited with three years of work at Ohio University.
The report of the death of Sgt. Wayne A. Thomas, '.36, R.F.D. '"l, Jerusalem, Ohio, was likewise lack- ing in details. Word received from his mother stated merely that he was drowned at Herald Harbor, Md., July 19, 1942. At the time of his death he was a sergeant in the Army Medical Corps, assigned to the ')9th General Hospital at Fort Meade, Md. Sergeant Thomas was a brother of Louis W. Thomas, '?9, M.S. '40, an instructor in the high school •,,; Barnesville.
The name of a third Clevelander — others; Lts. Clark and Exelby — was placed u;jon the Gold Star Roster when on October 9, 1942, the Navy reported the death "in action" of Ensign Stephen J. Czar- necki, '40, somewhere in the Pacific war area. Ensign Czarnecki was a dive bomber pilot. He had partici- pated in the Navy's Coral Sea and Midway engagements and, presum- ably, was in the Solomon Islands
area when death came to him. The communication from the Navy De- partment stated that the flier's body had been temporarily buried for the duration of the war
On the morning of Oct. 17, 1942, a four-motored Army bomber en- route from Rapid City, S. Dak., to an unannounced destination, crashed
Second Lieut. Mildred H. Van Horn
on a mountain peak near Des Moines, N. Mex., carrying to their deaths eleven Army Air Force officers and men. Among them was First Lieut. Lawrence W. Hunter, '40x, New Marshfield, a bombardier.
Still officially "missing in action" after a period of several months are Lieut. Rctlph R. Penick, '39, Hebron; Lieut. William T. Johnston, '39, Cleveland; Ensign Lloyd Thomas, '35, Circle Hill; and Sgt. James Wylie, "37, Middleport. There is hope that Penick, of the Marines, Johnston, an Army flier, and Wylie, of the Army, may still be alive, pri- soners of the Japs in the Philippines. Thomas, a Navy bomber pilot, was reported missing shortly after the Midway engagement.
News of a happier nature con- cerning Ohioans in the military and naval service, follows:
Mildred H. "Van Horn, '37x, Cleveland, graduated from the first

Wertman, "41, who is itching to get into actual flying activities, was retained. He is now editing the camp newspaper, "A.M." Besides his editorial duties, he pre- pares hundreds of releases about officers and enlisted men for their home town papers.
Pvt. Samuel J. Johnes, '32, who was a trumpeter with Sammy Kaye from the time the latter organized his now famous band at Ohio Uni- versity in 1929, until 1936, is a mem- ber of an Army Air Force unit at Keesler Field, Miss. Before his in- duction he was a physical education instructor at Miami Beach, Florida.

Friends of Roscoe ""Gus"" Menuez, "43x, Benton, a report of whose death aboard an Army bomber over the South Atlantic was widely circula- ted, vk.'ill be happy to know that the report was without foundation. An uncle has informed the Alumni Of- fice that Gus is flying a big DC-3 transport plane across Africa for the Pan American Airlines and that he has recently made trips to India, Iraq, Iran. Egypt, and Arabia. The young flyer expects to get home for a few days around Christmas time.
The Ohiii Alumnus
Marine Colonel and Former Hoover Aide Reported Missing in Action
In the face of facts which ma>' warrant a more despairing behef, the relatives and friends of Col. Frank B. Gocttge, '20x (see picture on front cover), distinguished Marino Corps ofl&cer, still hope that time will bring a happier report than the official Navy Department w^ord that he is '"missing and believed killed in action on August 12" in a Pacific war zone.
Colonel Goettge, whose parents reside near Kent, graduated from Kent's Central High School and en- tered Ohio University in the Fall of 1916, Under the prevailing wartime regulations he participated in varsity athletics though but a freshman. He left the campus in 1917 to enlist in the U. S. Marine Corps as a private. After serving with distinction with the Fifth Marines at the front in France, he v^-as commissioned a lieutenant.
Following the war he served at Quantico, Va., under Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, and it was while at the Marine Base that he gained recognition as one of the greatest football players in American gridiron annals. After watching Goettge in a fullback role for the Marines again- st a strong Navy team early in the 1920's, Walter Camp, late dean of football experts, wrote: "Today I saw a football player who, for today at least, was greater than Jim Thorpe. His name is Goettge. He's a Marine."
In 1929, the former Ohioan was made a captain while serving in China. Later he returned to Wash- ington, D. C, where he was ad- vanced to the rank of major and was assigned as an aide to President Herbert Hoover and Maj. Gen. Wendell Neville, commandant of the Marine Corps. He was one of the hosts to Ohio University's football team in 19.^2 when the Bobcats visited the capital enroute to Anna- polis for a game with the Navy (which the Bobcats won, incidentally, 14-0). After posing with the Ohio grid squad for a picture outside the Executive Offices, President Hoover asked Colonel Goettge to personally escort the Bobcats on a tour of the White House.
The only available picture of Colonel Goettge, which was used for making the cover cut, was taken shortly after his return from China.
Tw^o years ago the missing Marine was promoted to lieutenant colonel. His advancement to the rank of colonel was so recent that it is thought possible that word of his elevation may not have reached him before his last recorded action.
Besides his parents, those who anxiously await further word con- cerning the fate of Colonel Goettge, include a wife, sister, and three brothers.
New Type Membership Established
For Benefit of Alumni in Service
Upon the unanimous vote of the officers and executive committeemen of the Ohio University Alumni Association a special, temporary type of association membership, to be known as a Service Membership, has been created. The annual fee for the new membership is $1.00, and only Ohio University alumni (graduates or former students) serv- ing in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, or their auxiliary' branches, are eligible for It. The service membership, hke the regular type, includes a subscription to The Ohio Alumnus.
The memberships make excellent gifts for service men who will wel- come The Alumnus as a source of news concerning their alma mater, their friends in civilian activities, and their comrade in arms. Already 197 such memberships have been taken out, many of them by parents in be- half of sons in service.

Committee Chairman Indicates Ways In Which War Effort Is Furthered
The other day the editor of The Ohio Alumnus asked Dr. E. A. Hansen, dean of the University Col- lege and chairman of the University Committee on War Activities, if he would mention some of the ways in which Ohio University is furthering and cooperating with the war effort "Sure thing," said the dean, and in just a few minutes time the editor had the following information on his note pad.
1. A University Committee on War Activities which has charge of all matters relating to the coopera- tion of the University with all other agencies engaged officially or semi- officially in war work has been es' tablished.
2. New courses have been added in laboratory science, mathematics, commerce, and social science to pro- vide both direct and indirect ex- perience which will better prepare students for participation in the war effort, as members of the armed for- ces or in civilian defense projects.
3. Many courses have been re- vamped with a view to making them more servicable in the present emer- gency.
4. Fourteen two-year defense cur- ricula have been outlined especially to equip students entering war indus- tries or the armed forces.
5. The R.O.T.C. has been en- larged until it now enrolls more than 750 cadets. The University is rated as a Class A military training institution.
6. Two-year courses approved by the U. S. Navy and designed to prepare prospective officers under the V-1, V-5, and V-7 plans have been established.
7. The University, as one of seven key informational centers in Ohio appointed by the U. S. Office of Education, is aiding in the col- lection and dissemination of printed materials relating to war preparation and cooperation with the Federal Government.
8. The University is cooperating with officials of the City of Athens in the matter of prevention and pro- tective plans.
9. Free courses in such subjects as first aid, fire prevention, etc., are being offered by members of the faculty under the Civilian Defense Program.

Homecoming a Successful Occasion
A largerthan-expected crowd ot alumni — mostly from the vounger classes — was on hand to help cele- brate the 1942 Homecoming occasion, October 24. The weather was ideal, the war-modified program was en- tirely satisfactory, and the outcome of the day's feature — a gridiron con- test with a traditional rival (see page 9) — was much to the liking of Ohioans.
A more detailed account of Home- coming activities will appear in the November Aliimniw
III Health Forces Retirement of
Miss Kahler from English Staff
111 health, .itlcr .^ 1 yens <A teach- ing in Ohio University classrooms, forced the retirement this fall cf Miss Mary Engle Kahler, "02, asso- ciate professor of English.
Miss Kahler joined the local faculty in 1911 after several years of teaching in the Athens city schools; in high schools in Ro£s, Miami, and Montgomery counties; and at Marshall College, Hunting- ton. W. Va.
In replying to her letter of resigna- tion. Dean W. S. Gamertsfelder wrote, in part, as follows.
"On behalf of the College of Arts and Sciences and for myself, person- ally, I should like to express appre- ciation for your many years of faith- ful and efficient teaching . . . The memories of the years of association with faculty and students on the campus, will, no doubt, linger as an abiding joy and satisfaction. The students whom you have instructed in English wuli feel a lasting debt of gratitude for your helpful service."
Miss Kahler will continue to live in Athens and will indulge her in- terest in travel as her health and wartime restrictions permit.
Official Roster of Men and Women In Armed Forces Is Being Compiled At the request of President James and the War Activities Committee of the University the Alumni Secre- tary has assumed respon.sibility for compiling and maintaining an "Offi- cial Roster of Ohio University Men and Women in Military and Naval Service. "
Since the honor roll is to include the names ot former students as well as graduates, the task of securing names and pertinent data is a tre- mendous one, and one which will call for cooperation from a great many persons if it is to be satisfac- tonly accomplished.
All readers of The Ohio Aliimiiu5. therefore, arc called upon to report to the Alumni Secretary, second floor, Wilson Hall, or P. O. Box 28>, Athens, Ohio, the names of Ohioans whom thev know to be ser- ving in the country's armed and auxiliary forces.
Send the names of all service men and women that you know, even though the names may possibly be reported by other persons. At the present time there are approximately 1.000 names on the roster.
The Ohio Alumnus
On and About the Campus
THE TWO Spanish - American War cannon (see picture) and the two pyramidic piles of cannon balls that stood near them on the northwest comer of the campus for more than 35 years have gone to serve their country again, via the scrap metal conversion route. The proceeds of the sale, $120.41, were given by the university treasurer, George C. Parks, '08, to the U.S.O.
WILSON AND McGuffey Halls, second and third oldest buildings, respectively, on the cam- pus, present a new and greatly im- proved appearance to students and visitors these days. During the past summer workmen removed the ac- cumulated applications of gray paint from the exterior walls leav- ing the original hand-made brick as they looked nearly a century and a quarter ago. To further the res- toration, colonial-style doors and small-paned windows were installed.
AMONG THE many war-in- spired courses now being offered at Ohio University are Ele- ments of Navigation, Meteorology, Military Law and Defense Legisla- tion, Group and National Morale, Military Psychology and Morale, Explosives, Administration of Person- nel, Readings in Military German, War Policies and Problems, Issues of the Present War, War and Social Change, and Propaganda. Dozens of other courses have been re-pointed to add to their value as background for military service. A physical fit- ness course must be taken by every student each semester "for the dura- tion." A course in radio fundamen- tals is offered free to high school graduates who have had high school mathematics and physics.
GERMAN PROPAGANDA films confiscated by the U. S. War Department were shown to university audiences early this month under the auspices of the Division of Military' Science and Tactics. The films were pictures of the German war machine which were used to instill fear in the minds of persons whose countries were about to be attacked or intimidated. The Polish campaign and the early German victories in
the West were subjects of two of the films.
THE PURCHASE and develop- ment of a permanent state- owned airport for Ohio University was authorized on Oct. 2 by the Board of Trustees. Approval of the State Board of Control for a trans- fer of funds appropriated for build- ing purposes to the airport develop- ment project is being sought. Con- templated in the new plans is the purchase of the present airport, Row-
Students Bid Farewell to Campus Cannon
land Field, east of Athens, together with buildings, equipment, and addi- tional acreage to provide a landing area 4,03 5 feet long and 1,030 feet wide. The funds which are desired for the proposed purchase were ori- ginally appropriated for new con- struction at Ohio University but the money cannot now be used because of war restrictions on building mater- ials.
DEAN WILLIAM M. Young, of the College of Applied Science ■and coordinator of the Civilian Pilot Training program at Ohio Uni- versity, has received a private pilot's license following test flights made this fall. Dean Young is one of the few CPT coordinators in the country possessing a pilot's rating. Aviation training at Ohio University is now on a full-time military basis. Parti- cipants must enlist in either the Army or Navy and be assigned to the pre- liminary flight training and ground school course which the University offers. After eight weeks the CPT trainees go to one of the service schools for further instruction.
THE COMMUNITY Concert Series, for which students are granted a special season rate of $1.00, will bring to Memorial Auditorium, Leonard Warren, Metropolitan bari- tone, Nov. 4; a streamlined version of the opera, "The Marnage of Figaro," Feb. 2, 1943; and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, April 7. A fourth number may be added later.
MEMBERS OF a Recruiting Board, made up of represen- tatives of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, will ad- I dress a student convocation in Mem- ' orial Auditorium on Nov. 1 1 to explain the nature and require- ments of their respective reserves. They will remain over the next day to answer the questions of inter- ested persons. Returning on Dec. 4 and 5 the Recruiting Board will formally enlist any student who has decided to enter one of the reserve corps.
BELIEVE IT or not, for the first time in, oh, many moons, the staff members in the offices of the dean of men and the dean of wo- men who assist students in finding work opportunities have more jobs on their books than takers. For the first time, according to Miss Louise Field, it has been necessary to seek girls for dormitory work. Assistant Dean of Men Harley Smith reports that some of the N.Y.A. jobs open to men have not been applied for.
PARIS-BORN and a war refugee, Michel Etlm is a freshman at Ohio University this fall. When the Nazis occupied the French capital, Michel and his family fled to an ancestral castle in Bayonne. Enroute he saw brutal German machine-gun- ners mow down long rows of horror- stricken refugees and saw enemy tanks driven over the dead and sleep- ing bodies of his countrymen. His escape to America was by way of South Africa and Cuba. Regarding the absence of hardships in this country, when interviewed recently concerning plans for the future, he said, "For me to stay here and dance and see football games is wrong. Soon I will join my father and brother in England where they are helping to win the war."

AN ENROLLMENT of 775 cadets in the Reserve Officers' Traininij Corps unit at Ohio Univer- sity is an increase of 160 men over the corresponding semester last year. In speakinsj of the growth of the mili tary department, Colonel Churchill explained, "It is logical and to he expected because of the benefits to be derived from such training when eventually these men enter the mili- tary service. Dunng the past sum- mer the military department has re- ceived letters from former ROTC men who speak strongly of the ad- vantages that the Corps has afforded them since entering the military ser- vice, especially those men in officer training camps." The War Depart- ment has authorized an incrci^^c in the quota for advanced course students from last year's iO to 97. The in- structional staff in the Di vision of Military Science and Tactics now consists ot Col. James M. Churchill; Lt. Col. James B. Golden; Maj. Raymond A. Lee; Capt, Robert M. French; 1st. Lt. Berwyn L. MiJler; Staff Sgt. Harold B. Jones; and Staff Sgt. Jack S. Samp selle. In addition to the in- structors, the ROTC staff includes Sgt. Edward B. Raber, Jr., and Pvt. John E. Taylor. Pictured in the R.O.T.C. color guard are: (Left to right) 'W^illiam B. Wolfe, Athens: John H. StaufFer, Erie, Pa.; Robert L. Queisser, Cleveland; and William R. Doherty, Read-
SECRETARY OF War Stimson's late fall announcement that men in the Army Enlisted Reserve, Un- assigned, would likely be called to the colors as soon as they reached the age of twenty regardless of the state of progress in their academic careers, served to upset a great many students at Ohio University as it doubtless did at other schools where the reserve enlistments were being made. Upon the passage of the pro- posed draft law for 18 and 19-year- olds, a new induction policy may be announced, although it is likely no student will be permitted to remain in school long enough to complete a degree course unless he is well em- barked upon it, and then only if it is one of a select number of technical
and professional courses. There are .iH2 men enrolled in the Army En- listed Reserves at Ohio University.

THAT OHIO University men and women taking their first year in
is Anne Woesha Cloud, an attrac- tive young Indian girl and a graduate of Vassar College. Miss Cloud, whose middle name means "happy woman," taught arts and crafts among numerous tribes in Arizona and to the Sioux Indians in South Dakota. Her father, Henry Roe Cloud, whose name is listed in "Who's Who in America," is a full- blooded Winnebago Indian. He is a Yale graduate and was appointed superintendent of Haskell Institute ;ind of Indian education generally by President Rtwsevelt in 193.V When asked what attracted her to Ohio University, Miss Cloud replied, "The practical aspects of the courses here interested me most in preparing for the teaching of art."
BA Ja
Ohio University R.O.T.C. Color Guard
medical schools carry with them a better preparation and background for first-year work in medicine than most of their fellow students is proved by the record. The Associa- tion of American Medical Colleges reports that, over a nine-year period, only 6% of first-year medical stu- dents from Ohio University failed. The average failure for first-year students from Ohio colleges generally was IJ'^f. Ohio U. had the best record of any of the state-supported institutions in Ohio, while only two colleges in the state had a better record than Ohio University's.

The Ohio Alumnus
Resistration Figure Exceeds Expectations; Few Staff Replacements and Additions Necessary
OHIO UNIVERSITY, like a great many other educational in- stitutions in the state and nation, was agreeably surprised to find, after re- gistration formalities had been com- pleted this fall, that there were more students on hand than had been anticipated through the summer months. Whether the school author- ities will he as happily surprised when the second semester returns are in early next spring is something else again; something which time and circumstances beyond local control will determine.
One year ago Registrar Dilley was able to announce the presence of 3,133 students on the campus. Dur- ing the second semester of 1941-42 this number fell to 2,830, a shrinkage of 303.
The enrollment for the current year, first semester, is 2,753, a de- crease of only 77 students since the closing semester of last year and only 380 since the opening of last year. Predictions for this year had involved figures as low as 2,200. The men, as usual in recent years, outnumber the women, 1,568 to 1,185.
A number of leaves of absence have been granted to faculty mem- bers for military and government service. In many instances the ser- vices have been voluntarily offered while in other cases they have been claimed by Uncle Sam through the familiar workings of the Selective Service Act. The names of faculty men who have left the campus in recent months will be found else- where in this issue.
Because qualified substitutes are sometimes difficult to find and be- cause, in some cases, current and prospective decreases in enrollment make replacements unnecessary, fac- ulty men and women engaging in war service are being replaced only when a re-distribution of the teach- ing load within an affected depart- ment results in a serious overloading of staff members. It is a matter of university policy, in so far as possible, to preserve faculty positions for those who vacate them to render war service.
No replacements or additions of persons of major rank have been
necessary, the list of newcomers to the teaching staff including an as- sistant professor, seven instructors, one part-time instructor, and two visiting lecturers.

Peden's '^Not So Bad'' Prediction Supported By Grid Record at Season's Half- Way Mark
BECAUSE THE year's residence stipulation was re moved from the eligihility rules for the duration. Coach Don Peden was greeted this fall by the largest opening-day squad of varsity gridiron candidates in his experience — 31 former varsity men and 40 freshmen.
At the end of the first week of practice the Bobcat mentor broke down and admitted that maybe his team "wouldn't be so had" this year. Such an un-Peden-like statement, almost the "ultra" in optimism for him, was immediately hailed by the fans as a tip-otf on a successful season. Then the Ohio coach became his cautious, canny self again by pointing out that he had but four out.stand- ing veterans in his squad and that "you can't win games with four players."
At the present time, how- ever, Oct. 26, the season i.^; half over, and we'll let the record speak for itself. Four games have been played and three victories chalked up. The loss, while it was undeni- ably that, came about in one of those games in which the slightest shift in the breaks of the fray could easily have al tered the outcome.
The 1942 season was opened, in Ohio Stadium, Oct. 3, with Akron as the opponent. John Fekete, Findlay, in the tailback position, paced the
Bobcats as they gave the "Zippers" a sound .19-0 lacing to help make up for the scoreless tie of last year.
Bobby Johnson, Waverly, diminutive wingback, and Bill Hemz (who's jersey number is i7), Cincinnati, veteran fullback, shared scoring honors with Fekete. A freshman newcomer to the backticld. John Siakacsi Fairport Harbor, showed promise as an understudy to the fleet Fekete, while Gerald Ramsey, Athens wingback and letterman, was another fellow who proved handy on occasions.
On the line, the veterans Carl Jamison, Ada. guard. Joe Riccardi. Sandusky, tackle, and Bill Ditrich, Euclid, and "Zip" Zednik, Cleveland, ends, all lettermen except Zednik, were Line Coach Trautwein's most seasoned per- formers.
On October 10, the Bobcats defeated a burly Butler team from Indianapolis, 6-0. The statistics of the game was heavily in favor of the Ohioans, even though the scoreboard story seems to belie the fact. Two of the Bobcats' three touchdowns were nullified by penalties, while on another occasion the Pedenmen were held for downs on the three-yard line.
Fekete, who made the tally that counted, was perhaps the defensive as well as the offensive bright light for Ohio. However, the fact that the Butler Bulldogs gained only 18 yards from rushing and nary ,i first down in the
first half, indicates that the Green and White line play was generally above reproach.
On paper, the 26-7 defeat which the Bobcats sus- tained at the hands of a fighting Cincinnati Bearcat team in the Queen City, in a night game, October 17, was the worst reversal in six years for a Peden-coached team. As intimated in an earlier paragraph, however, it was close to anybody's ball game throughout. A feat rarely accomplished in modern football history at Ohio U., the outcharging of a Bobcat line, had more than a little to do with the outcome of the game. There was no after- game wailmg in the Bobcat locker-room, withal; only a grim determination to avenge the licking at the next meeting. The Bobcats came back the next Saturday, October 24, to win their Mth consecutive Homecoming game, an en- counter with the Ohio Wesley- an Bishops, by a score of 26 to 14.
Big John Fekete was re- sponsible for three of Ohio's four touchdowns and staged the niftiest ball-toting performance that Bobcat fans have been pri- vileged to witness in many a year. In fact, the team's show- ing as a whole was such as would satisfy the most exacting coach or delight a victory-eager homecoming crowd anywhere. The Bishops, dangerous throughout the entire 60 minutes of play, didn't have a match for Ohio's backiicid ace in their line-up, and that was their margin of defeat.
George Mills. Wad^worth freshman, the first colored boy on a varsity grid squad for many years, and Louie Venditti, Middlebranch junior, serving as replacements for the line-smashing Hein:, have lightened coaching worries during an absence of the Cincinnati fullback from active duty due to an injury.
During the remainder of the season the Bobcats will meet Miami. Oct. :■>{, at Oxford: Western Reser\'e. Fri- day night, Nov. 6, in Cleveland: Xavier in a Dad's Day game, Nov. 14, in Athens: and Dayton in a Thanks- giving Day game, Nov. 26, on the Fliers' home field.
JOHN FEKETE, Ohio's stellar halfback, is a brother of Ohio State University's sensational sophomore full- back. Gene Fekete. Gene now leads the Western Con- ference in points scored, and is one of the top-ranking point producers in the nation. John, on the other hand, is certain to win state-wide recognition for his ball lug- ging ability and will add no mean measure of lustre to the name of Fekete. In the Wesleyan game John carried the ball 27 times for a total of 279 yards, or an average of better than 10 yards per tr>': he made three touch- downs on runs of 6, 42, and .34 yards in length; com- pleted two out of three passes attempted; and made 1 ^ tackles from his defensive halfback position.
