This year's graduating class will take with it the backbone of the team, Scotty Moscovich. Scotty will be missed greatly, and it is the hope of all that he will be as successful in all his undertakings as he was in coaching girls' basketball. Although thiS YGCITIS l9CU'I'l WGS not quite as successful as it might have been, there was a fighting and cooperative spirit behind it which made for good sportsmanship.

l93 GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL ECAUSE of the interest put forth into girls' basketball, the season of l935-36 terminated successfully under the able leadership of Coach Moscovich. Scotty's first call for players was well received and brought to the lime- light such outstanding players as Dot Lawler and lule Parker, whose fine playing clicked for the good of the team. The season opened with a game against Taylor Business College at Philadelphia. Ruth Eddy's quick thinking and fast stepping played a larqe part in keeping the Riderites on their toes and making the final score a 24-24 tie. The Riderites wanted badly to win the two games played with the stronq Stroudsburg State Teachers, but the final scores were l4-36, l8-38. These two defeats by the powerful Stroudsburg team did not, however, dampen the spirilS of Scotty's girls. Immediately after these two losses, the Riderites encountered Savage College and took them over to the tune of 36-l8. A trip to Beaver College resulted in a loss and the season came to an end with another loss at Marl- hattanville in New York City.

I9 38 INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL HE Phi Sigma Nu basketball team more than avenged their defeat at the Thgndg Of the Rip Rap boys during the last year's playoffs, for they eliminated the possibility of such a series by making a clean sweep of the ten games pQayed. The Bellevue Cagers, coached by Mario Rossi, that erstwhile varsity flash, twice defeated each of their five rivals in such good fashion that they had little competition from their opponents. Runners-up in the league were the Rip Rap boys, an independent combina- tion. The Hips had given the fraternity clan their toughest opposition during the series. ln both of their games with the Sigma Nu's, the Rip Piaps had either held the lead or tied the score when going into the last quarter: but the long range shooting of Charles Koch, the league's high scorer, proved too much with which to cope. With only a few minutes to play in each contest, the Sigma Nu star would sink' a couple of shots in quick style and finish the game. t ln addition to Koch as number one scorer were Patterson of the Rip Raps and Marcus of Sigma Lambda Pi.
