qua scores on g one uicfory The 1958 basketball season was almost an exact stereotype of previous campaigns for Comette Cagers. Posting a roster of many returning veterans, expecta- tions were high before the season commenced. However, seasoned performers did little to boost the year's record of one win and six defeats against scheduled com- petition. Cody lost to Redford in the season opener but re- bounded to score their first win of the season in a non- league encounter with St. Alphonsus.,The tables turned again, however, as Mackenzie and Central totaled winning scores to trip Cody 51-20 and 29-15, respectively. The Comettes lost the next two games to Northwestern and Southwestern also, but their determined spirit to win could not be overlooked as they were defeated first by only a single basket and second by just three points. Falling to Mumford, 50-26, in their last game, Cody rounded out a season of defeats. A game of close body-checking, basketball has its hazards too. Cager Pete Gilliam learns the hard way as she falls to the floor in an attempt to recover the ball for Cody. All eyes were on the mark as Comet Cager Mary Rea shoots to narrow the margin of the Mackenzie game. F orty-seven
