It was -a veteran cross country team that ran third against city competition to achieve an unequaled record for Cody. Endurance and stamina were the key to victory for Comet pace-setters as they outclassed Northeastern and Central in the opening meet of the season. North- westem, too, could not equal their pace and fell behind as Cody harriers out- distanced the Colts 18-48. In the season's third encounter, Comet thinclads streaked across the finish line for a 20-35 victory over the Cooley Cardinals. Hopes for a second undefeated season were dimmed, however, as Redford bettered Cody's most determined efforts to win the last dual meet 18-61. In the race for the West Side League title, Cody placed second only to swift Huskie opposition. Redford also took first in all-city competition as well. And Comet harriers, barely edged by an experienced Pershing squad who placed second, captured third in the city-finals to climax their most successful season.

Ninety-two Coach Young expresses both exasperation and frustration late in the Cooley game as he realizes that no defensive manuever can stop the powerful Cardinal offense. Fighting to retain the Golden Football Trophy, Cody tried again and again to slip past the Stags, but the elements favored Mackenzie in a mud game as Cody constantly fumbled to their opponents. 01,0455 i958 :ieadon yiefcdi onfg one uicfor A football bounces many ways. It is impossible to foretell which way it will bounce. And time after time the ball seemed to bounce the wrong way for Cody's gridiron eleven as the 1958 season's record indicates. Fumbles and injuries became the order of the day as Cody fought Northwestern to a 6-6 tie in the first game of the season. Then Chadsey took the ball for a 13-0 victory over Comet stalwarts as an omen of what was to come. But, playing their first league game on home soil, Comet gridders summoned all their skill and took an early lead against over-confident Redford. Cody's defenses crumbled, however, when an onslaught of Huskies forged ahead to secure a 33-21 win. Rain soaked fans then watched a muddy Comet eleven slip to a 19-0 defeat at the hands of neighboring rival Mackenzie. With spirit dampened and enthusiasm diminished, Cody faltered and fell, losing their fourth game to Cooley, 41-6. Closing the 1958 football season with a 29-6 victory over Wilbur Wright did little to lessen the sting of a hapless season for Comet gridiron veterans. ff
