The 1957 football season opened with a bang, featuring highly favored Framingham as the opponent. Watched by a fine crowd, Walpole took the field for what was to be one of the hardest fought games of the year. To the surprise and pleasure of most all present, Walpole's charging offense and fine defense limited the Flyers to only seven points in the first half. lt was not until late in the third quarter that Walpole broke away on our own twenty-nine yard line. On a succession of fine running plays by Burke and Kivi, the ball moved deep into Framingham territory. After a change of ends, big .lim Burke charged over the goal line with three Flyers on his back for Walpole's only score. Burke's eleven-yard charge ended a seventy-one yard march by the boys from the Hilltop. The failure to score the extra point gave Framingham a thrilling victory: Walpole 6-Framing- ham 7. KEN EKLUND For the second clash of the season we iourneyed to Norwood to meet a powerful Norwood club. Al- though the boys tried their hardest, Norwood was iust too powerful and good for them. lt wasn't until the last period, when Pudge LaFreniere blocked a punt which Marty Feeney picked up for six points, that we scored. The final score was: Norwood 20-Walpole 6. Our next two games with Dedham and Needham were postponed because of the flu epidemic, how- ever, we were fortunate in being able to meet Class A New Bedford. ln the pouring rain and ankle deep mud, Walpole took a six-point lead in the first half. Late in the third period it looked as though we were on the threshold of victory. Then New Bedford launched an eighty-yard pass play to even up the score. Once again the point after touchdown decided the game: New Bedford 7-Walpole 6. On arriving at Billerica, Walpole took control of the game. Touchdowns by Feeney, Kivi, and Civilinski accounted for our eighteen points while Billerica had to settle for a mere seven. Wayne Kivi led the Wal- pole attack by passing to Marty Feeney for a sixty-five yard score, scoring once himself and driving thirty- four yards to set up the final touchdown. Thus the game ended: Walpole 18-Billerica 7. Thanksgiving Day, 1958 V WAYNE KlVl
