Ninety-eight Cagerrf Fepeaf Jfel'20tyl9e Pafteffl of The Cody cagers' record this year did little to support the law of averages' as they failed again to break the stereotype pattern of defeat. Although the bucketeers were eager to give their all for Cody, determination proved to be of little value when, in the season's opener with Northwestern, Cody was trampled by the rampaging Colts, 37-61. Chadsey delivered the second blow by dribbling past Cody efforts to score 74 to 49. In the third encounter, Wilbur Wright successfully blocked Cody's best defenses but forfeited the game because of an ineligible player. The cagers rallied in their next game in an attempt to break Redford's slim lead in the closirfg seconds of the game, but it ended with Redford on top, 59-55. After falling before Mackenzie, the Comets surprised Cooley by upsetting them, 61-53. However, they returned to their old form, losing the last two games to Western and Southwestern. The still-hopeful cager's last chance was the Sudden Death Play-offs. Prospects looked very bright for Comets when the team surged ahead to OUISCOIC Chadsey, but a loss to Wilbur Wright ruled them out of the play-offs to settle with a season of three wins and six losses.

One hundred C02 Cagel'5 MOUICACIIQCB6 Ol' 2Uel'lf!u!6ea50n The 1958 Girls' Basketball Team played through an unsuccessful season of no wins and five losses. As with every team, the girls entered the season sporting high hopes. However, despite their efforts and determination, Cooley defeated them in the first game of the season by a narrow margin, pocketing a victory of 41-36. In the team's second encounter, Mackenzie, with their great height advantage, towered over Cody 60-12. The Comettes returned after the winter holiday and met Redford for the first game of 1959. But the Huskies, outshooting Cody, took an early lead to win 31-15. Continuing on their downhill stride, the squad wound up the season losing to Mumford and Western with scores of 51-29, and 48-26, respectively. Although the veteran squad failed to rise to their own expectations, the team's promise for the future lies in its reserve players who compiled a successful record this season and indicated a more hopeful prospect for the year ahead.
