ora e vicforied hoorif unclerclog agua Occurring in the 1957 Girls' Field Hockey season were two games soon not to be forgotten by our Comettes. They were able to hold both Mackenzie and Western, considered West Side leaders, to tie games. Cody stopped the Stags by holding them to a scoreless tie marrin Mac- kenzie's undefeated seasonal record. Also, in spite of the opposition's strength, Cody played the powerful Western team to a standstill, claim- ing a 1-1 tie. Both contests were considered morale victories for the underdog Cody squad. The rest of the schedule in retrospect found the Comettes holding to a slim 1-0 advantage against Redford, their first opponent, until the dying seconds of the game when Redford rushed through the Cody defense to tie it all up. Hustling against Cooley, Cody came up with their first win of the season by a score of 1-0. Minus the skill of some of our regular players because of in- juries, the team fought as hard as they could against Mumford, but a 4-3 decision showed that the Mustangs overpowered the Comette efforts. Much to the surprise of our girls, they discovered that Southwestern's speed was more of an ad- vantage than skillful ball-handling as the Prospectors accepted the honors of a 1-O victory. As the season drew to a close, battered ball, uniforms, and hockey sticks symbolizing this year's record of one win, three ties, and two losses were put away in hopes of a better season next year with a large squad of returning veterans. F orty-four Coach Morrissey tried to ease the tension as she talked to her team during a time out of a decisive game. .lust 4. To successfully complete the opening bully, Cody and Mackerizie forwards dashed for possession of the escaping ball. which appears to be directed in Mackenzie's favor. Cody forwards locked sticks and bruised shins as they scrambled with the opposition for possession of the ball.
