All-State Guard and Tri-Captain Walt Beck Returned to Andrew Warde on 50th Anniversary of Crimson Eagles' Undefeated 1959 Season

Walt Beck was perhaps the most emotional of all the former players who attended the 50th anniversary celebration of the Crimson Eagles' undefeated 1959 season. Beck joined seven of his former teammates and former Coach, Fern Tetreau, in the school cafeteria for a reception before receiving a commemorative plaque on the field at halftime. Here is my interview with him.

Beck, an all-state guard who went on to play at Boston College, had an interception in the win over Bullard Havens 50 years ago. However, he still laments a missed tackle against Staples which allowed the Wreckers to score the only points of the game during the fifth week of the 1959 campaign. That was the only score Warde allowed over the first seven games.
