Loss-laden season repeats for Cody's courtmen BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM . . . Front Row: R. Granfeldt Qstudent manager, . Second Row: D. Bennett, J. Hopeck, F. Vellucci, K. Van Camp, G. Koehler, G. Newhouse, 1. Anderson. Back Row: J. Hines, J. Clement, L. Maas, F . Kanopsky, C. Casucci Qcoachj, B. Thomas fcaptainj, I. Storm, A. Maurier, I. Wake. Finishing their third year of league play, our cagers were still unable to show an impressive record. While Coach Casucci implored our team to set it up , and work the ball, the boys were unable to find the basket range as often as their opponents. Winning only two of their ten league games, the Comets were successful in their encounters with U. of D. and Mackenzie. Loyal fans were treated to an unexpected Christmas present when the underdog Codyites came from behind in the final period to upset U. of D., 38 to 32. It was a long wait before the Comets again broke the victory barrier by defeating arch-rival Mackenzie 39 to 34. This game was well marked with superb ball handling and bull's-eye fieldgoals as the green and gray quintet led from start to finish. A closer look at the season as a whole reveals a little brighter picture. Four of the losses were by less than ten points, including a 51 to 49 defeat to Western. Cody's center went high to tip the ball to an awaiting teammate. eighty-five
