Walker Sports Calendar In August some sixty boys from our high school reported for the first football practice to Coach DeTeso and two able assistants, Gene Rose and Shooter Haines. After our season began, we lost to powerful Concord but bounc- ed back against Ipswich and rival Lexington. We found Winchester and Punchard our tough- est foes of the season. The other games were close, but most colorful was the Thanksgiving game against Reading. Both teams were score- less with less than five minutes left in the game; then the smooth Reading team, who had knocked off Winchester, Woburn and some other powers, finally found range with two quick scores. With the end of the football season, the team divided, some going to the basketball court and others to the hockey rink. The bas- ketball team with coach Elerin started off with a bang, winning six straight, including unbeat- able Belmont. This ended Belmont ' s long win- ning streak (one of the longest streaks in Mid- dlesex League history) over Stoneham. The record attendance at each game proved the quality of our team ' s playing. The hockey team coached by Doc Gor- don, invaded the Boston Arena to start the season with highly favored Melrose. After three hard-fought periods, Melrose emerged the winner by one goal. The Belmo nt game was the most exciting. Belmont led by one with less than two minutes to play, when we exploded with four goals to win nine to six. We found Arlington the hardest team in the wild race for the play-offs. Medford, Melrose, and Rindge also had their best teams in cur- rent years. The girls coached by Mrs. Vera Lawson had a good season in field hockey playing a hard schedule and winning their share of games. The basketball tournament was one of the best with record attendance and close games. The baseball team under Coach DeTeso played one of the stiffest schedules in recent years, with almost every team in the league a potential powerhouse.
