BASEBALL Left to right: Wayne Kivi, Wayne Manty, Fudge LaFreniere, Dave Coburn. With five returning seniors: Pudge LaFreniere, Wayne Kivi, Wayne Manty, John Rooney, and Dave Coburn, the 1958 baseball season looks very promising for Walpole. To back up our senior stars we are fortunate in having many talented underclassmen, both iuniors and sophomores. Returning to fill up the varsity roster are: Jim Hazlett, Pete Turco, Martin Feeney, Joe Sadaway, Skippy Civilinski, and Jim Burke. Coaches Cerglaski and Riley will have a hard time in beating last year's fine record of ten wins and four defeats, but if the team works together, next sea- son shoulcl be one of many hard-fought victories. Good luck, boys!

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
