Hopes High for T956 A 1955 COMPETITION CURBS VICTORY Coach Casucci began to shape things early for the T956 baseball season hoping that the Angels in the Outfield would be with' us. Spring practice, which started in the. gym, included calisthenics, lobbing the ball between pitchers and catchers and fielders and provided the warmth to fire en- thusiasm and to iron out the muscle kinks. Veterans returned to prove their profi- ciency. They gathered their catcher's paraphernalia, bats and balls, and proceeded to be tested underfire as the team sparkplugs for infielders, outfielders and pitchers. Although pre-season predictions were unsafe, you could tell their plans would make it rough for any team to score many runs. In every respect, during the T955 season, it was a fighting group of Comets who battled opposing teams all the way. However, our diamond men only polished off two of their foes with sparkling victories and were clubbed by seven other league teams. , eighty

Popularity Grows . . . GOLF AND TENNIS SQUADS RATE Although golf has not received as much attention as other sports, it is becoming increasingly popu- lar with Comets. Come springtime, the male divot diggers of Cody sent their golf balls whizzing through the air, preparing for metropolitan league competition. To conserve restless energy, matches were divided, the front nine holes being played one day and the back nine the second. The follow through of last year's squad looked very promising after compiling a five wins and four losses record. Our Comettes began their fall season of swing and putt with two defeats. Gradually the individual shooting went lower and lower resulting in the two victories of the five match season over High- land Park and Hamtramck and a tie with Mumford. With a smashing forehand drive, as treacherous a backhand, a calm, steady, unexcitable set of nerves and real sportsmanship, male Comet tennis players end- ed a 1955 season of rough matches with 3 wins over Mac- kenzie, Chadsey, and Southwest- ern and 4 losses. Facing the T956 season of fast competition, practices for both boy and girl teams began early in March, with wall practices in the gym.
