MOST VALUABLE ATHLETE AWARDS Rider's vast athletic schedule in 1947, ushered in an athletic recognition program designed to acknowledge outstanding performance by athletes in the sports they represent. The plan was devised by E. James Hodgett, sports editor of the Rider News, approved by Vice-President J. Goodner Gill, and received the full support of the coaching staff. A most valuable player is chosen in each sport under this plan along with additional awards for those who have made extraordinary achievements. These awards include, the one with the highest batting average, the best pitching and fielding record for baseball, the highest scorer for basketball and soccer. The most valuable players are chosen by a committee consisting of J. Goodner Gill, the entire coaching staff, and the sports editor of the Rider News. The awards, made before a student gathering, are medals or statues for those out- standing in the various sports and a cup is awarded to the most valuable man and woman athlete of the year. 137
