A record of four wins and three losses placed our racketmen fourth on the West Side. In the City Tournament, in which twenty schools competed, each singles player and each set of doubles vied for individual honors. Our doubles set of Ron Davis and Lloyd Spanberger placed high before being eliminated. An eagerness to participate was not enough for Cody's golf team as they met successive de- feats during the 1956 season. Our divotmen's only victory was over our arch-rival Mackenzie, 35 to IW. Although its dual meets proved to be a disappointment, the squad was able to capture eighth place in the City Tournament to recover some prestige in an otherwise discourag- ing season.

After our Comette golfers teed off to start their fall schedule, they found themselves in the rough and were outmatched by their first two opponents. However, they made a fine recovery and forged ahead on the fairway to win their last two matches against Hamtramck and High- land Park. The High School Girls' Golf Day at Palmer Park, in October, was a consolidated effort to gather all girl golfers at one place to promote good competition and sportsmanship. Tennis received the largest turnout of all girls' sports last season. Ninety hopeful racketeers kept the playing area teeming with lively rivalry for positions on the squad. League competition proved too keen for the Comettes for they were out-swutng in their first three matches. They rallied late in the season, however, and gained a victory in the last match of the year against Highland Park. one hundred one
