I9 36 VARSITY BASKETBALL INCE it has been an annual custom for the Roughriders to complete their basketball season in good fashion, this year's aggregation nobly upheld that tradition. Not only did they have an exceptionally good year by winninq eleven of the fourteen games played, but they also had the honor of playirlq in the Olympic elimination tournament. The Riderites in their initial game vanquished the Princeton SeminarY 46-26. Although their passing attack was far from being up to standard, thf-BY walked off with a 20-point victory. Despite the fact that our team displayed a fine brand of basketball throuqll- out the annual classic with the Princeton Tigers, the best they could do after a hard fought battle was to finish on the short end of the 25-l9 score. Both teams were about on a par as far as scoring power was concerned, but 'Elle height and reserve strength possessed by the Tigers proved too much for the Roughriders. ln their next two games, the locals first smothered the passers of West Virginia State Teachers' College and then handed the Alumni a similar set- back. The ability of Coach Donlon's proteges to sink foul shots in their enggqe- ment with the New York Stock Exchange quintet provided them with a 52-50 victory. lt the Donlonmen hadn't amassed the lead of 33-lO in the first half of their clash with the basketeers of the Wall Street Division of New York UniversitY,

5 f i 5 5 i they would certainly have gone down to defeat. As a consequence, they added a 47-35 triumph to their string of victories. . Then came the long-watched-for Geneva game. Our boys crushed the efforts of the Beaver Falls quintet before the largest throng of the season. The splendid team work, endurance, and experience of the Biderites, coupled with the fine school spirit behind the team, were the chief factors in this victory. The Boughriders won one and lost two of their next games. They defeated La Salle College by two markers C29-279, but were less fortunate with the strong St. Francis and lthaca quintets, losing by the scores of 29-19 and 42-40 respec- tivelY. Dame Fortune returned in the following three engagements. The less fortunate foes were Cooper Union, Gallaudet, and Youngstown Colleges. All three contests were easily won. ' After a lapse of seven years, the Boughriders finally met their ancient rivals, Trenton State Teachers' College, and defeated them easily. lt was a case of an alumnus, Coach Donlon, taking over his Alma Mater, State Teachers. The Donlonmen, after their splendid showing throughout the campaign, were invited to play in the Olympic elimination tournament. They drew as their opponent, the Temple Owls. Though the locals were defeated in this game, they had the satisfaction of forcing the Owls to play an extra period, and then only losing out by the slim margin of one point to a team that had previously defeated Pitt, Carnegie Tech, and New York University. This grand finale marked the last time the stalwart Captain Mario Bossi and the high-scoring Ace Tramantana would wear the colors of the Purple and Gold.
