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.

LF TEAM Front Row S Stabler B Defending the 1958 West Side League Golf Championship, Comet golfers swung through the 1959 season in an effort to club notable league contenders once again. They met with only mediocre success, however, as the final score card totaled tive wins, four losses, and a tie. Getting of to a rough start, Cody won its hrst match with Cooley, 4-1, but then lost three games in succession. The Cardinals defeated Cody a second time around, 316-I M, and Redford linksmen out-swung Comet golfers, 4-I , in successive dual matches. Getting back into the swing of things, Cody clubbers drove double victories over Wilbur Wright, 4M-Mr, and 4-1. After losing its first match with Ford, Cody bounced back again to slip past the Trojans, 3-2, and shut out Mackenzie, 5-0. In a final game with the Stags, Cody tied Mackenzie, 216-ZMJ. Comet linksmen then competed in the all-city golf tournament to place fifth against East and West League opposition. I nexperienced Comette golfers by comparison were no match for 1959 league competition. Losing to Cass, 5-0, in their first game, the girls fared no better as the season went along. Four successive defeats at the hands of Cooley, Redford, Highland Park, and Ford made 1959 a dismal season for the Girls' Golf Team.
