Comet gridders chalked up impressive record eighty-two Our stalwart gridiron men provided an exciting and outstanding football record for Cody fans in 1956. The Comets showed hard-hitting defensive as well as driving offensive play throughout the fall campaign. In the opening game, our football machine was operating at top efficiency as it roared over Northwestern, 25 to 0. As the result of a non-league loss to VVestern, and an intensive week of grueling practice in which several injuries were sustained, the Comets barely managed to tie Southwestern I9-19, and fell to a fired-up Chadsey eleven. Our hopes for a perfect answer were abandoned, but the spirit remained undaunted as Coach Young's proteges went on to romp over Cooly 27 to 6 and Mumford to 13 with an avalanche of touchdowns. Cody's prestige was increased this year by its contribution of three members to the All-City team, and an honorable mention for All-State honors. Staunchly supported by a host of football fans, the team chalked up an impressive record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and l tie.
