In our second year at Bay State League competition, the local eleven survived a flu-ravaged season, only to come out on the short end. Coached by John Jordan and his staff of Chandler Phinney, Richard Sullivan, and Joe McAllister, the boys put up a good fight and displayed great ability. Led by Gaptain Eklund, backfield boss Kivi, and iuniors, Burke, Civilinski, and Hazlett, Walpole was the most unpredictable team in the league. This was especially true against the more powerful Fram- ingham and Wellesley teams with whom we played our best games. On the defensive side of the picture, Walpole was most fortunate in having one of the biggest lines around. Under the auspices of line captain Wayne Manty and the immovable Pudge LaFreniere, the middle of the line was like a Sherman tank. Thanks, boys, for a wonderful season and a iob well done. Walpole is proud of you. You've got to S-C-O-P-E! Bust that line!

Walpole.- 6 Walpole Walpole Walpole Fram'ham 7 .- 6 Norwood 20 .- 6 New Bedf'd 7 ..18 Billerica . ,.... 7 PUDGE LAFRENIERE WAYNE MAN-fy On- the road for the fourth time, we matched our talent against a powerful Wellesley eleven. Once again Kivi ran up our twin scores. Quick thinking and fine running on the part of Wayne turned a sure blocked kick into an extra point, upping the score to 13-O. Then it happened. After scoring once in the first half and twice in the second, Wellesley went on to a fine 19-13 victory. After two postponements, Walpole hiked down the pike to North Attleboro for a game under the lights. Our hosts iumped into an early lead which we never threatened. Late in the final quarter, Wayne Kivi scored our lone six points, making the final score: Walpole 6-North Attleboro 20. Walpole played its second twilight game at Needham. After two early touch- downs by Needham's Lynch, Joe Civilinski stole a Needham pass for a fifty-yard score. Captain Ken Eklund then crashed over for the extra point. Unfortunately, Needham's Lynch hit back with six more points. This clinched the game for sure: Walpole 7-Needham 19. The heartbreaker of the season was the annual Turkey Day game with Milford. Milford, with the help of Dave Tessicini, literally ran around us in a hard fought 19-O struggle. Although our line held up superbly, we iust couldn't hold the swift Tessicini with his expert use of broken-field running. We left the field for the last time with our hearts a little heavier: Walpole O-Milford 19. COACH JACK JORDAN and ROBilN ELLIS Walpole .,,. 13 Wellesley 19 Walpole .... 7 Needham 19 Walpole ....

Everyone always looks forward to the State Meet at White Stadium. In 1957, Walpole was again very successful and placed third in Class D. Mr. Gray awarded three trophies to the Cross Country team at the end of the season.
