The Hawk scoring was shared equally by Joe Torio and Charles Dellaquila each scoring two T.D.'s and Torio connecting on a PAT kick.

The Red Devils could do little on the ground against a fired-up Hawks defensive unit gaining a minus 13 yards rushing for the day.

MIDGETS 7 HEMPSTEAD 0 The Farmingdale Hawks Midgets won last Sunday over Hempstead Tigers 7-0 putting them back on the road to victory. Although the Midgets controlled the ball thru-out the game they just could'nt seem to get the ball over offensively. The only score of the game was a pass interception by defensive halfback Donald Lang who raced 46 yards to pay dirt. The PAT was a perfect pass from quarterback Robert Robitzek to end Donald Lang. Incidently the pass interception was Hempstead's first offensive play of the game. Defense was fantastic as usual allowing no first downs and only 6 yards rushing. John DeTommaso led the defense with 10 tackles, outstanding was Tim Tiniski, Joe Zaredkiewicz, Larry Grieshaber and Jeff Penner. Of- fensively Jimmy Bovich rushed well with help of the fine blocking of John Detommaso. Phil Albanese, Donald Durrang and Rich Santore did a good job on the offensive line. Next week the Midgets meet Roosevelt away. PEANUTS 7 BRONCO'S 0 The Peanuts playing their third consecutive game on foreign soil just managed to squeeze by their South Shore opponents 7-0. It ex- tended their victories to 4 in row. In the first quarter Joey Rzempoluch took a Bronco punt on his own 40 and appeared to be nailed at the midfield stripe, but somehow busted out of the pack, broke to the outside and raced the remaining 50 yards for the games only T.D. It was his fifth T.D. of the season. On the PAT ScibelU. Humpf. Castellucci and Prail opened a huge hole on the left side as John Starace waltzed in for the score and a 7-0 Farmingdale lead. A great defensive battle ensued and although it was far from their best effort the Hawk defense did register their third shutout of the season. A hard hitting Bronco defense caused five fumbles and repeatedly thwarted attempts by the Hawks to get on the scoreboard again. Next week is homecoming for the Peanuts who take on the Elmont Cardinals. Lets make it five in a row \Big Green.\ . DALER DEFENSIVE PURSUIT smothers Jet ballcarrier during Saturday's contest on their home field. The Jets prevailed, however, 21-8 breaking the Dalers string. It was the first loss suffered by the Dalers on their home field since 1970. [Post photo by Bob Starrett] Jets Dream Comes True UNLIKELY CHEER: This surprise group of cheerleaders made a halftime appearance during Saturday's game against East Meadow. It was one of the few bright moments of the day as the Dalers unbeaten string was broken. [Pogt photo by Bob Starrett] Wolverine's Lair Many people have asked the members of the Board of Directors of the Wolverines why they have picked that particular animal for their emblem and what does it signify? The wolverine was chosen for its emblematic value because of its hunting prowess and its natural protective instinct for protecting the young. The wolverine is noted for its craftiness, strength and appetite. Some people after lefoking at the Board of Directors figure that this reason was good enough. The wolverine while being protective of its young is also known as a fierce and raging hunter of prey. As a matter of fact only man hunts the wolverine. The Wolverines of Farmingdale hunt out the youth of the area and arrange to facilitate an athletic program that will fill up their spare time. While the Board might not be fierce the games that these boys and girls play develop some fierce competition. The wolverine is a fitting symbol and we hope that the organization will live up to its brave tradition. Soccer plans are well under way with coaching assignments now the prime topic of consideration. We need dedicated volunteers who are willing to dedicate a few precious hours a week to help some fine kids develop their athletic skills. Some parents are down at every practice and are actually looking for something to do with their time. So why not become a parent volunteer! As often as not an abundance of ambition will make up for a dearth of knowledge. We have a few coaches that will be able to teach you the basic skills that are involved so that you will be able to relay them to .the youngsters. Every youth organization in the area is willing to accept a dedicated parent to help out and we are not the exception. We want your help and actively seek it. If you Vant to volunteer please come to registration at Allen Park on Nov. 27 & 28 and Dec. 4 & 5. Time is from 10 A.M.'- 3 P.M. Please make the effort. BobDarienzo § by Mark Faber After rolling over their last 11 opponents, the Big Green Machine screeched to a halt Saturday as East Meadow pulled what could be the upset of the year in New York State. The Jets (1-2 before the game) beat the Dalers (3-0 and ranked first in the state). 21-8. \Maybe we took too much for granted, the coaches included. Maybe we were too confident coming off last week's 48-3 win over Hicksville. The team here is used to winning, I don't know, maybe they are too used to it,\ stated Daler coach Don Snyder. \This (an upset) could happen anytime. East Meadow just played a great football game.\ The Jets earned the win by dominating the powerful Dalers for the full 48 minutes. The Jets ran off twice as many plays and were on offense for most of the game. They ran up 194 yards rushing, a rarity against a Farmingdale team. \We expected them to pass much more, but they ran. They controlled the ball,\ stated Snyder. \They ran us to death. We were waiting for the pass and they ran through us. Then when we were looking for them to run, they threw. They had us crossed up,\ said Daler lineman James Boyle. The Jets completed seven of 11 passes for 92 yards and a touch- down. In all, East Meadow gained 286. yards to Far- mingdale's 163 and had 15 first downs to five for the Dalers. \The East Meadow coaches did a great job. They were ready for us. They got the most out of their team Saturday,\ said Daler coach Bob Mulligan. Farmingdale un- characteristically turned the ball over seven times (three in- terceptions, four fumbles). The Jets did not turn the ball over. \This hurt our offense and our chances to win. We usually capitalize on mistakes, not make them ourselves,\ stated Snyder. The Dalers got on the board first when Pat Smith hauled in a pass from Bob Heller and romped 57 yards for a 6-0 lead. East Meadow tied the game late in the half when the Jets Greg Fullum picked off a pass and scampered 55 yards for a touchdown. The Dalers, usually a second [ Continued on page 14]
