Gilbert says Beaver shouldn't go tell Blair how he got the 96 because you're a friend of mine and I don't want you getting into trouble. But yet he told him to make a face in the class picture, try out the kite and use Ward's golf club.

I think Wally's point was that Mr. Blair was a safe, conservative, fuddy-duddy sort of guy.
We can assume Gilbert was being insincere here - he really didn't want to get in trouble himself.
I enjoy any chance to see the fine character actor Wendell Holmes, who played Mr. Blair in addition to two other characters on LITB, including most memorably Andy the Handyman in "Beaver and Andy."
