sure victory and it is the victories which establish pride among the college's members. Such was the case in 1967 when Rider College's baseball team ranked fifth among the nation's top universities, or last year when the Bronc basketball team reached the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs at the Palestra, along with Rider's tennis team which consistently ranks as one of the top teams in the east. After a disappointing season last year, the Bronc base- ball nine will undoubtedly, although difficult at times, have to maintain the pride which prevailed throughout the years. Lack of communication and confidence ap- peared to be the downfall of last year's team. However, newly appointed coach Sonny Pittaro, who has replaced highly successful Tom Petroff, feels confident he can remedy last year's problem. If it remains the jock's obligation to uphold a success- ful athletic tradition while attempting to satisfy both aca- demic and athletic demands, the athlete can then be stereotyped and justly so. However, one should not limit his mind to the vision of a jock shooting a basketball or hitting a baseball, even though such an image has exis- ted. Characteristic of most people today, in addition to satisfying his academic and athletic goals, the athlete is also free to do his own thing. W 49 - ..,, ,L ,V .'-.31 :Nh - .'
