GOALIE KEN EKLUND Walpole 0-Needham 2 The first game of the season saw us bow to our rival, Needham. Although we outplayed them for most of the game, Needham's two first- minute goals told the story. Walpole 4-Framingham 0 Showing the true caliber of our club, seniors Rooney, Lestan, MacBride, and Allan each scored to give us our first win of the '58 season. From here on it was Walpole all the way. Walpole A-Watertown l Enthusiastic after their first win, Walpole made short work of an improved Watertown team. Sophomores Verderber and Tarbell made their scoring debuts, Tarbell getting two. Ronny Lestan scored his second goal of the year to insure a swift Walpole victory. Walpole 3-Norwood l Once again Ronny Lestan won us a hard-earned victory. After Bill Allan's first period score, Ron let go with two of his own to give us a second place tie with Needham. Walpole 4-B.C. High 1 New Year's Day brought a favored B.S. High team up against a determined Walpole club. Led by captains MacBride and Rooney, with added scores by Ober and Famiglietti, we knocked B.C. High out of first place. Walpole 8-Wellesley O Wellesley was completely trounced on goals by Rafuse, Lestan, Nixon, Kivi, and two each by MacBride and Ober. Walpole 4-Waltham 0 With goals by Lestan, Tarbell, and two by Rooney, Ken Eklund gained his third shutout of the season. This victory put us in a first place tie with Needham. BILL ALLAN WAYNE MANTY

RON OBER WAYNE KlVl Walpole 2-Needham 0 Before more than three thousand fans, Needham was held in check only by the valiant efforts of Ken Eklund. Had it not been for Eklund's twenty-six saves, and late scores by Rooney and MacBride, the strong Needham club surely would have won. Congratulations, Ken, on a superb performance. Walpole 5-Framingham l At the expense of Framingham we won our eighth game of the year. Sophomore Joe Tarbell and seniors Famiglietti, Rooney, and Ober account- ed for our final tally, Ober scoring twice. Walpole 2-Watertown l Ever-troublesome Watertown almost pulled the upset of the year in a close two to one contest. A first period score by Allan and a third period tally by Lestan turned the trick. Walpole 7-Norwood l Walpole was just too much for Norwood with Ron Ober pulling the hat trick. Scores by Kivi, MacBride, and two more by Famiglietti accounted for our tenth victory. Walpole 2-B.C. High l B.C. High made a last ditch effort to capture the championship and almost succeeded. About halfway through the final period B.C. High scored its lone goal to take a one to nothing lead. It wasn't until the last two minutes of play that Rooney and Lestan scored two quickies to give us the championship. Walpole 8-Wellesley O Once again Wellesley bowed to Walpole eight to nothing. This time goals were made by Manty, Kivi, Kelley, MacBride, and two each by Ober and Allan. Walpole 3-Waltham l To make the season complete, Walpole downed Waltham, setting a new league scoring record. On goals by Lestan, Manty, and Kivi, Walpole succeeded in winning its thirteenth consecutive game of the year, CAPTAINS ROONEY and MACBRIDE
