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.
