Dennis Barclay prepares to race down the base line after slamming the Mackenzie hurler's effort into left field for a single. Walter Bujaski displays the form of his no-hit performance against Mackenzie last spring. This was the first no-hit effort ever delivered by a Cody pitcher in league play. A Northwestern base-runner is forced out at third base, as Mike Boca tries to hurl the ball across the diamond and catch a Colt batter before he reaches first base. W,-,.,,,gn-W.-....-u...

The Colts were the Comets first contenders on Cody soil but as both teams rounded the bases it was Northwestern that slid home triumphant, 6-3. Meeting Chadsey next, Cody hurled a one-hitter to bag their first win, 8-I . And Wilbur Wright fell to Comet pitching strategy by the same mark, wit'h an 8-0 score this time. Huskie opposition held Cody down, however, as Redford won a see-saw battle, 3-2. News headlines recounted the stories of the games that followed as Cody ace Walter Bugajski lead the Comet nine to an exciting victory over Mackenzie in a record no-hitter. Again Cody pitching stopped Cooley, 4-2, and handed the league leading Cardinals their hrst shattering defeat in thirty consecutive games. Then after a short slump in non-league play and a loss to Western, the Comets rallied to defeat Southwestern, 8-3, and wind up a successful season.

Don Prieur vaults over the cross-bar with room to spare as he continued to propell himself to a first in the Cody-Cooley meet. Above, Dennis Holland catapulted himself forward to a lirst place in the broad jump of the Comet- Stag meet. Below, he again came through with a supreme effort to capture a first place in the 100 yard dash. One hundred twenty-eight Comet trackmen ran the 1959 race for top honors in league competition, but once again fell into a seasonal slump just after the starting gun went off. The mile and broad jump thinclads, Cody's most consistant winners in their field, were unable to give their team an edge over stiff opposition. After getting off to a slow start, Comet thinclads continued to lose ground, finishing the season with an unimpressive record of three wins and four losses. In the season's opener, a powerful H uskie squad outpaced Comet cindermen, as Redford raced past Cody, 90 U3-18 213. A close 46 M-62M defeat at the hands of Mackenzie placed a second loss on the Cody scoreboard. Catching their breath, Comet thinclads raced ahead to outdistance Cooley, 71 M-37M2, but they failed to catch up with the Prospectors, as Southwestern cut the tape to win, 60-49. Then Northwestern bypassed Cody trackmen, 70-39. And with new incentive, Cody raced to the season's finish, pushing out in front of Western, 63 U3-45 IX3, and Chadsey, 67M -41 M.
