The Boys' Golf Team faced 1958 opposition early in spring expecting a season in the rough. The course of play did not follow expectation, however, as Cody captured the West Side League title and placed second in the city. In Mackenzie territory and on home soil, they drove double victories over Stag opposition in the first matches of scheduled play. Successive victories over Cooley and Redford followed for Cody golf enthusiasts. Final wins over Wright and Cass Tech climaxed an undefeated season. Cody then out-swung Pershing for a victory in the first round of the final play-offs and a chance to try for the city title. Finally meeting their match, Come clubbers failed to drive home a victory over a dynamic University of Detroit squad, to place second in the Metropolitan League. In an exact stereotype of previous season's efforts, the 1958 Boys' Tennis Team won three games in league competition while losing four. Breaking a 3-3 tie with Mackenzie, they swung ahead to claim the first victory of the season. Cody then netted successive victories over Southwestern and Chadsey. Expectations dimmed as the boys lost to Western, Cooley, Cass Tech and Redford in the final four matches of play. One hundred five

W- The 1958 Girls' Golf Team began their schedule early in the fall, facing only three competitors. Arriving on the green, Cooley swung ahead to triumph over a veteran Cody squad in the opening match of the season. Comette golfers then outshot Highland Park to win their first match. Defeated in the final match, with Redford, Cody clubsters rounded out a rather uneventful season by joining in the fun of a city-wide Golf Day at Palmer Park. Serving to seven Metropolitan League opponents, the 1958 Girls' Tennis Squad had high hopes for a record season, last spring. Comette expectations were quickly dimmed, however, as Redford, Mumford, Mackenzie, and Highland Park slammed successive victories over the Cody net. The Comettes then ended a four game losing streak as they tied Western, 3-3. Netting their first victory in season play, the girls defeated Cooley 4-love, and wound up the 1958 schedule with a 5-l win over Chadsey. One hundred seven
