word of encouragement. Another noticeable characteristic of this year's team is the sports- manship shown by the Comets in every game in which they participated. We have gained compliments from many teams, because of this sportsmanlike conduct, and we believe that it is more important to get this kind of compliment for the school than to win games.

This enabled them to tie for the conference championship with Eaton Rapids, each team winning three and losing one.
