Positively vicious on offense, almost brutally relentless on defense, the Bucks, paced by Jack Graf, senior back, had everything their own way In the first half, as a crowd of cheered them on through a wet, misty haze. Graf's iiteady gains over the "otffry turf through wide holes in the Purdue line, especially on spinner plays, had the Boilermakers completely bewildered. And State's, five-man line plus its amazing proclivity for rushing the passer stopped everything the Boilermakers ran or threw at them with remarkable consistency. That was in the first half.

BY JTAROLI) BOIAN Sluggish almost to the point of boredom for three quarters, the University of Dayton Fly-eis snapped -rHh two touchdowns in the finil period, at the stadium Saturday to beat Miami, 16 to 0. A first -quarter field goal "Beno" Keither, from placement, accounted for the points, other than on the touchdowns. Miami, fighting hard from the first whistle, found the Flyers in the lifeless state that marked their practices all the past week, after thejlhad been beaten by Tennessee. However, the Redskins were unable to do anything about it. Dayton didn't muster one substantial drive all afternoon, as its touchdowns came on a 56-yard run around right end by Lou Priske, former Chnminade high school star, on an end-around play, and a 62-yard dash around the same end, on the very next Dayton play from scrimmage, by Harold Mouch, the sophomore spped-mcrchant.

The undeniable superiority of the U. D. was established in the statistics. It made 11 first downs to Miami's one, and that one came late in the game. Dayton tried 27 passes, which is more than the Hilltoppcrs ordinarly attempt in three games, and completed 11,.

while Miami made good on juRt one of seven aerials. Despite morning rains, the field and passing conditions were good. In copping this game in goose-egg manner, the U. D. maintained its unbeaten, unscored on home record.

Miami was the fourth to fall here, and it was the Rcdnkins' third straight defeat after they had won their first two games. Both teams came out of the game in good physical condition, except for the Flyers' sophomore right halfback, Jack Castignola, who was sent to the university infirmary for observation immediately after the game with a touch of influenza. Behind only three points, Miami rctainpd plenty of fight and hope until the Flyers brought on the beginning of the end on the last play of the third quarter when Don Pincintti went seven yards through the line to the Miami 32.
