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

Tankers churn way to second place in league The Cody tankers, showing their heels to all opponents, churned their way into a second place berth in the West Side swimming league. Excelling in all their events, the swimmers combined much veteran experience with added fresh talent to become one of the West Side's top aquatic teams. Their loss to a powerful Redford team, put the only mar on an otherwise perfect season. An outstanding example of their versatility was shown when the. Codyites literally swam away from all competition, taking First in every event, to defeat Southwestern 61 to 15. Another of the highpoints in the 1956 season, came in the opening meet when the Comets swam over last year's city champs, Mackenzie. However, the Comet tankmen had to settle for sixth place in the city finals, as our team balance came up against the top individual swimmers in the league. BOYS' SWIMMING TEAM . . . Front Row: E.
