'Hawks' Hot Line PURPLE 7 MAROON 6 In another tight game, Purple defeated Maroon 7-6. Steve Selvaggio showing improvement with every game, picked off an errant pass by Frank Russo and raced it back 60 years for a purple T.D. Tim Dooley carried for the extra point giving purple the lead 7-0. A tough defensive battle was raged on both sides. Keith Connolly in an end around scored for the Maroon team, closing the gap 7-6. John Riordan, with a fine defensive move, stopped the extra point. It was the final game of the season and the purple team, not being able to improve their standing in the league, showed their desire and winning attitude by playing their finest game. The coaches of the Purple team want to give their thanks to the parents and all of the boys for making theirs a season to remember. Thanks guys Bermudez, Borelli, Cardascia, Dooley, Frankiavella, Houlahan, Kieser, Lennon, LoNigro, Martin, McLoughlin, Nociford, Panariello, Reichel, Selvaggio, Sepe, and Strazza. ORANGE 6 WHITE 6 The Orange Hawks and White Hawks battled to a 6-6 tie. The tie clinched the championship for the Orange. The White scored first early in the fourth quarter when Salemi went 20 yards around end for the score. The P.A.T. failed. The Orange came right back, behind the fine running of Reilly and Januszewski to the score. The P.A.T. failed. The White Hawks who played a fine game were led by Squeri. Salemi, and Ford. The Orange were led by Wetzel, Darco, McKeveny, Cavanaugh, and McMahon. Orange head coach Mike Curcio would like to thank the cheerleaders and their coaches, assistants Bob McCallion, John Venezia, Bob Kirk, Bob Norton, Team Manager Bob Celentano and his wife Rose for a fine job done all year. WHITE HAWKS The White Hawks head coach Bob Worker would like to thank his assistant coaches Mike Niciforo and Doug Turner his team manager Bill Mauer, field and safety Mr. Ford, and most of all the boys who showed sportsmanship and who never quit. PEE WEE'S 0 MASSAPEQUA 13 The Pee Wee's traveled to Massapequa only to come back on the short end of a 13-0 score. Nothing seemed to work for the Hawks though outstanding offensive efforts were made by Parrella, Detroia and Ciesielski combining for many good runs. Outstanding defense was played by Q'Sullivan, Curriera, Penner, Panariello, Contarino and Wildes. One moment of joy for the Hawks came when Mike Hill took a pitch-out from Harloff and threw a 30 yard pass to O'Sullivan. PEANUTS 0 HUNTINGTON 19 The Peanut streak of six victories in a row ended with a 19-0 loss to a strong Huntington team that remained unbeaten in clinching the division 1 title. The Hawks unable to move the ball on their first possession attempted to punt on fourth down but a high snap forced Rich Burton to run with the ball. He was tackled at the line of scrimmage, giving Huntington very good field position at the Far- mingdale 40 yard line. A good run by Huntington's swift halfback Paul Yabrondv coupled with a Hawk face mask oenaltv brought the ball to the 15. Two plays later, the ball was on the four, first and goal. The defense stiffened and stopped their North Shore opponents on the next three downs, but on fourth and one yard to pay dirt, Yabrondy broke off tackle for the score. The P.A.T. was stopped and Huntington ted 6-0. Unable to mount any offense the Hawks repeatedly were forced to give up the ball. Playing ball control football Huntington led by Gordon and Yabrondy drove deep into Hawk territory. Again Yabrondy displayed his excellent ability to elude and break tackles as he carried the ball, just making it into the end zone before being knocked out of bounds, the P.A.T. was good for 13-0 score. Huntington proved to be equally tough on defense and the Peanut offensive woes continued in spite of a valiant effort by QB Joey Rzempoluch to get them going. Huntingtons last TD came late in the fourth quarter to put the game out pf reach. The P.A.T. was no good and the final score was 19-0. The Peanuts ended the regular season with a very respectable 6 and 2 record to tie Levittown for second place. The Peanuts have been given permission to accept a Bowl Bid from Levittown. The game will be played on November 28 at Levittown the time to be announced later. The Awards dinner will be held on December 12 at the Sons of Italy on Boundary Ave. All the coaches have the tickets so get yours as soon as possible.

In all, they outscored opponents 303-29.

Last week was a very busy and exciting one for the L.A.F.H. being jammed with elections, the Fashion Show and games. The Fashion Show was a success thanks to Lee Barrella and her committee who worked very hard. The Fashions were lovely with the emphasis on the Gaucho pant and boot look. Sometimes living in the suburbs you loose touch with the newest creations. Maddy Ventumno chose the appropriate clothes for her models to wear because they all looked stunning. - J .... Just about everyone went home with a prize like jars of pickles, stuffed red boa constrictors, wine, T.V., or an outfit modeled in the show. All in all a good time was had by everyone. Elections this year witnessed the return of some former board members. They are Pres. Janet Getter; Vice Pres. Fran Tropiano; Vice Pres of Fund Raising Vickie Curcio; Sec. Catherine Weldon; Treas.

The Wolverines are made up primarily of youthful individuals and they should be thankful for their youth and vitality. The older members of the organization are thankful for the opportunity to remain young, at least in spirit, through the younger members. We all also have to be thankful that we have grown larger in num- bers but for the most part have not lqst the fervor and intensity that marked our beginnings. We are, the Wolverines, an athletic family, we might have situations and even problems, but we reiriain loyal to each other. Friendships have been made within the Wolverines that will withstand a lifetime. We are young and we are aggressive. We might even be too aggressive at times, but no one can say that we are not trying. / . The Wolverine idea in the beginning was to fulfill a vacuum that was created when youth were regimented and assigned in various sports. The Wolverines concentrated in sporting areas that were not being exploited. Soccer and roller hockey are two prime examples. We pioneered these areas in our community when no one else cared. We also went into boxing, but gave that up when P.B.C. showed that they had both the time and money to promote this activity far better than we could ever hope. Yes, we have many things to be truly thankful for this Thanksgiving Day and we sincerely hope that all our members and friends have a wonderful day and remember that this is the one day that we set aside to give thanks for all the other days that we either forget or are too busy asking for things. Don't forget soccer registration on November 27 and 28 at Allen Park. Time is from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. The registration fee is $15. payable at time of registration. Coaches for soccer are still being solicited and can be applied for either at registration or calling Jim Reilly at 420- 0017. BobDarienzo Syosset, 56-0. \The success of the team is a combination of many factors. The coaches, both Walt Brem and Paul Hoffman, do a super job. Tradition also has something to do with it. The kids come to jayvee football and are in- doctrinated with a winning tradition at Farmingdale,\ said Snyder. Brem agreed with Snyder, \The key to our record is the caliber of football in Far- mingdale. The football tradition definitely rubs off on the kids, from the Hawks and other youth football teams, to the junior highs and to here,\ stated Brem. Brem also stated that the jayvee teams of one year give a definite indication of the quality of the varsity team the next year. \As goes the jayvee, so goes the varsity. It's worked the last five years. We've had good teams, and so has the varsity. It looks like next year's varsity should be pretty strong again,\ noted Brem.
