Wolverine's Lair We wish all our members and friends a Happy Thanksgiving and hope that you will all enjoy the day and the season to the fullest extent. America is the greatest land in the world and we are indeed very fortunate to be living in an area and time when we have the free time to pursue outside athletic endeavors.

Nassau OTB Provides $6 Million In Revenue The big day for our girls has finally come and gone and with it a giant sigh of relief. The past few weeks have been very busy and filled with anxiety. Many hours, sore muscles and tears were put into this night—their night. Our girls had their titles to defend and they didn't want to relinquish them. The competition was divided into two sessions causing several hours of sitting and waiting for our Hawk families who went to cheer them on to victory. As each of the divisions that our girls were in finished, the air im- mediately filled with suspense and tension while awaiting the final -results. The night proved successful for our J.V.'s, Midgets and Seniors who retained their first place, while our Pee Wees placed second again. Our Peanuts tied for third and in a tie-breaking cheer, lost to our rival, Levittown, placing them fourth. We're very proud of all our girls. There's something very special about them. They really stand out. Don't forget the awards breakfast on Dec. 12, at the Sons-of Italy. Tickets are $5 and can be obtained from Catherine Weldon, 4204)999. Glad to hear Paul Zarodkiewicz is feeling fine since his recent surgery. Easa Easa, president of Nassau Downs-OTB, announced that the county's off-track betting corporation will provide $6 million in revenue to the county for 1976, or $1.4 million more than had been anticipated. Easa further projected that Nassau OTB would be able to generate $6.5 million in revenue for 1977 despite a number of potential and actual problems that should cut into OTB handles throughout the state. County Executive Ralph G. Caso was advised by Easa that the revised State Lottery has had a significant negative impact on of f-track betting that has resulted in a drop-off of roughly 10% in business. The addition of Meadowlands in New Jersey has already been felt and a new federal tax law that will go into effect in January, will cause an estimated loss of between 5 and 10%. The tax law calls for the withholding of 20% from net winnings of over $1,000. Easa said this will drive many patrons back to the bookmakers and also decrease the amount of money which winners ordinarily re-bet at OTB. Easa warned that although Congressional leaders have stated they will amend this section of the tax law it was imperative for all public officials to be aware of its existence and to work for its removal. Nassau OTB is now handling about $1.5 million in bets each week and, despite the described problems, expects the opening of additional branches during 1977 to offset the anticipated reduc- Berne ** played on the nutrai ground at Carl Place High School, begin- ning at 1:30 p.m. The Berner Bisons has been designated as the \home\ team (even numbered conference teams this year) and will wear their red uniforms. The Dalers will wear their white \visitor\ uniforms. Tickets will be on sale at the gate for $2. or $1.50 if purchased in advance. The Dalers, who wrapped-up the Conference I title by defeating arch-rival Syosset 29-0 in their\final game of the season. The Dalers' only loss of the season was an upset to the conference celler dweller East Meadow, which gave the Jets their only victory in Conference One. The Jets caught the Dalers feeling overconfident on a Saturday when they couldn't find the handle on the ball. The 21 points that East Meadow scored against the Dalers that day represents the bulk of the total 30 points that the Dalers have allowed this year. The Dalers lead all teams in all eight conferences in points scored with 218, with the exception of the Conference seven champs Floral Park who scored eleven points more than the Dalers, but in eight games. The Dalers played only seven because they could not fill their scheduler Berner took the Conference Two crown with seven wins and one tie, scoring 202 points and allowing 72. The Dalers met the Bisons in the 1971 Nassau County Championship game at Hofstra University Stadium and won 14-6. Both teams are rated in the top twenty in New York State. Farmingdale is rated eighth and Berner 17th. The Dalers were rated first in the state until their up-set loss to East Meadow. tions. \We estimate that our handle will continue to average $1.5 million per week, giving us a total 1977 handle of $78,000,000.\ Easa said. Nassau Downs, which opened its doors in January of 1975, has now taken in more than $86,000,000 in bets including $57 million in 1976 and is presently operating 19 branch offices, with two more under construction in Hicksville and Wantagh expected to open in November. Easa said OTB will open at least 25 bran- ches throughout the county. The OTB executive, said that his surveys of the other OTB corporations in the state indicate .that Nassau County can also expect approximately $6.5 million in additional revenue in 1977 through the surtax on win- ning bets placed on' races at Roosevelt and Belmont. \When added with the $6.5 million from Nassau OTB you can see that the county's treasury will be enriched by about $13 million from off-track betting sources,\ Easa said. Bet On The Turkey Nassau Downs-OTB announced an abbreviated schedule of branch office hours for Thanksgiving Day, November 25.
