Reilly had one of his finest days rushing for 169 yards. On their next series the Orange again scored when Reilly went over from the five yard line. The of- fensive line, led by McCallion, Celentano, Boyle, Cavanaugh, Corwin, Baxter, and Mujica blew open huge holes all day. McMahon and Darco also aided with some fine pass receiving. The Orange scored late in the 4th quarter to clinch the victory. The Orange defense which has let up only 26 points in 7 games was led by Darco, Ragone, Wetzel, Maloney, McKeveny, McMahon and Janosewski. Konon, Connolly, Russo, Leddy, Kirk, Rizzotti played a fine game for the Maroon. PURPLE 13 WHITE 6 Down 6-0 the Purple team being led by the solid running of Dion LoNigro and a clutch pass frpm Mike Cardascia to Chris Sepe, mar- ched down the field where on the 8 yard line Ed Borrelli slipping tackles went in for the tying score. LoNigro carried for the extra point, giving Purple the lead 7-6. The first half closed with \Legs Pan- nareillo\ intercepting a pass, and showing all of his Mercury Morris moves and gained 0 yards. The second half the defense led by SalVaggio, Strazza, Riordan, McLoughlin, Myrato, Kieser, Houlihan, Martin, Francavella, Reichel, Bermudiz and Lennon closed the door on a tough White offense.

The game closed with Ed Borrelli intercepting a White pass., PEE WEE 19 ROOSEVELT 6 Week after week the Pee Wees are giving their loyal followers ulcers. Fortunately, winning is the only word they know. Two TD and a PAT by Parrella and a third TD by Harloff made it a 19-6 win. The game was marked by the fine offensive play of Penner, Wildes, Ortiz, Heuskin, O'Sullivan, Carmen, and Ciesielski. Teamed with the run- ning of Detroia and a fine catch by Hill brought us to pay dirt in the first half, which ended in a 6-6 tie. It was up to the defense to hold a fine Roosevelt team scoreless in the second half. The defense came to the play led by the open field tackling of O'Rourke, and good work by Shelhorn, Curriera, Stymie Contarino, Bleck, Ward, and a Beljum punt made it impossible for Roosevelt to move downfield. a key fumble recovery by Panariello set up the T.D. to put us ahead 13-6 with under four minutes to play. The third T.D. was icing on the cake. The last PAT attempted by Brendan Sullivan was stopped on the one inch line but we had all we needed. PEANUTS 19 FRANKLIN SQUARE WARRIORS 0 The streaking Peanuts made it six in a row with a convincing 19-0 trouncing of the Franklin Square Warriors. The Hawks didn't waste any time getting on the scoreboard as Joey Rzempoluch took the opening kick off on his own 33 yard line and raced 67 yards for the TD. The PAT was good when Dave Castellucci fell on a Farmingdale fumble in the end zone. Late in the first quarter the Hawks drove deep into Warrior territory on the strong running of Tommy Prial and John Starace, behind the fine blocking of the whole offensive line. Rzem- poluch on a bootleg scored from seven yards out, it was his eighth TD of the year and marked the sixth time the Hawks quarterback has scored on the same play. The PAT failed. The final tally of the day came when Rzempoluch intercepted a Warrior pass on their 40, ran it back to the five yard line where he was tackled and fumbled the ball which was alertly picked up by Richard Burton who ran it in for the score. The PAT failed. The Peanuts \Destroyer defense\ made the victory complete with another awesome display of relentless pursuit in registering their fifth shutout of the season. Stella performances were turned in by Steve Cardone, Jeff Ihm, Mike Keck, Jamie Detommaso, and Rich Burton. Also contributing to this fine defensive effort were Starace, Calderone, Biamonte, Connors, Cory, Morrissee, Prial, O'Rourke, Galante, Moritz, Schrimpe, Camisa, Kenny and Dowd. Some of the unsung heros of the offensive line who made major contributions for halfbacks Humpf, Youngs and Coppola were Lahey, Scibelli and Frazier. Worthy of special merit is the Peanuts best (pound for pound) blocker Kenny Zeng. With this convincing win the Peanuts served notice to the Huntington Boys Club that they are willing and able to defeat them in next Sunday's encounter, avenge an opening game defeat and force them into a playoff game for the Division Title. Keep it rolling \Big Green.\ We shall not be beat. SENIORS 4 MASSAPEQUA 0 The Senior Hawks played on heck of a defensive game against the Mustangs and avenged an early season loss (12-2) to these same Mustangs. The Mustangs got some idea what kind of a day they were in for when after their 1st two possessions of the ball they were forced to punt on 4th down after getting nowhere against the \fired- up\ senior defensive unit. On their third series they ran two plays and lost the ball on an interception by linebacker Korkuc. After that things got worse for the frustrated Mustangs. They went on to gain a total of 10 yards rushing for the day with 12 yards passing for a total of 22 yards. Their return yardage for the day was 29 yards, giving them total gained for the day of 51 yards. Some Defense! Massapequa could only run a total of 31 plays all day while the Hawks ran 57 plays. \You can't score if you don't have the ball,\ a famous man once said. The Hawks scoring came in the 4th quarter when the Mustangs got possession deep in their own territory after a booming punt by Joe Torio. They tried a pitch-out around end and Tony Tardalo caught the ball carrier for a 10 yard loss good for a safety«and 2 points. Still later in the 4th quarter again after another Torio rocket punt put Massapequa deep in the end of the field. Their QB started to roll to his left, but Charles Reichel cut off his path. He reversed his field and ran into the goal post for an automatic safety and another two points. The [Continued on page 12] DALER QUARTERBACK Bob Heller [10] hands off to Jim Humpf [38] then looks back to check the running back's progress in Saturday's game with Oceanside. The Dalers topped the Sailors 18-0. [Post - photo by bob Starrett] Dalers Drown Sailors 18-0 by Mark Faber The Dalers moved one step closer to the Nassau County Division I title Saturday with a convincing 18-0 win over Oceanside. A win or a tie Saturday against arch-rival Syosset will clinch Far- mingdale's sixth division title in seven years. Farmingdale outplayed Oceanside in every facet of the game. \The score definitely doesn't indicate the way we dominated them,\ said Daler coach Don Snyder. \It was the best game we've played all season,\ he added. The Dalers used a ball-control offense to perfection Saturday. They ran off twice as many plays as the Sailors, which produced I decided to try my Crystal Ball one more time on the Fashion Show. As I gaze into it through the dust (it hasn't been used much) I see Manor East alive with laughter, talking and the clatter of dishes. The lights grow dim and all attention is focused on the commentator standing at the microphone. The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived. One by one the glamorous models appear wearing the latest in Fashion news. There are pantsuits, dresses, jumpsuits and gowns, and the women express their different choices with applause and various utterances. Everything is lovely and well done. The food is great but from this point on we've all decided to go on diets so as to look as stunning as the models in our new pruchases. The Fashion Show is a success! I sure hope my Crystal Ball is correct in its prediction. Last year it was. Hope Catherine Bongiorno is felling better soon. Wolverine's Lair Soccer registration circulars are being distributed throughout the Farmingdale area and are hoped to bring the large turnout that we are expecting. Soccer is the largest spectator sport and also participating sport in the world and is trying hard to make its mark in the United States. Football and baseball might lead the way now but soccer is making in roads into the general population. Soccer had found it hard developing into a popular sport in America because for the most part it was played by foreigners and it was a seemingly dull game because • of its low scoring. Now we find that the game is being played by many Americans and that the game is about as dull as New Years Eve. While many scores or goals are not scored consistently as in basketball or football there is constant action throughout the game. There are no time outs as such and there is a fantastic amount of running done by all the players, the ball is the center of attention of course but you can still find pleasure in watching the fine defensive play. Soccer, or football as it is known throuhgout the world, is destined to become.the truly world wide sport. As soon as the United States recognizes it for the truly great game that it is we will see boys and girls looking up to soccer idols. Right now football is the king of Farmingdale and rightly so but who is to say that someday soccer might share that crown or even take it away. Registration for soccer will be held at Allen Park November 27 and 28 from 10 - 3 p.m. Registration will also be held the following weekend at Allen Park at the same times. We urge every interested child to be there at registration and depending on the weather bring either sneakers or cleats for tryouts for the soccer travel teams. Tryouts will be held by the respective coaches at registration time. Bob Darienzo offense, as well as rest for the defense. Farmingdale amassed 17 first downs and 302 yards rushing, led by Dean Perri's 146 yards and Jim Humpf's 116. \Our offensive line blocking was ex- cellent, and the backs ran ex- tremely well. The line was the key, they really opened up the holes,\ stated Snyder. Bob Heller also completed four of five passes for 75 yards to put the Dalers' total yardage at 378. The Daler defense, led by Nick Ryan (12 tackles), crushed any remnants of an Oceanside of- fense. The Sailors managed only one first down. Oceanside gained 69 total yards and completed but one of seven passes. \Our defense was super. We had them played right and the defensive execution was excellent. We really shut them off,\ noted Snyder. Oceanside, 4-2-1, has a history of giving Farmingdale tough games (Daler wins of 14-7 in 1974 and 8-0 last year). \The team felt that they gave us our toughest game this year. They're a big - team and they hit hard. A lot of our boys were hurting the next day,\ said Snyder. Farmingdale got on the board in the first quarter when Paul Lankford recovered a Daler fumble in the end zone for a 6-0 lead. Perri scored later in the second quarter for a 12-0 half time lead. Perri took the second half kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown, but the return was called back by a clipping penalty. In the fourth quarter Lankford took a pass from Heller and dashed 21 yards down the sidelines for the final score of 18-0. \We should have scored at least once more,\ stated Snyder. Saturday Farmingdale travels to Syosset for the annual \November classic\ between the rivals. The winner of Far- mingdale-Syosset games has emerged the county champ for the last six years (Syosset in 1970, 1973 and 1974; Farmingdale in 1971, 1972 and 1975). The game decided the championship itself four times. This year, like last year, [Continued on page 12]
