m Wolverine's Lair TwoDaler Victories Tie For League Lead Weather has been an unexpected opponent of the Wolverines this year, forcing our soccer practice indoors rather than on the field at Allen Park. The snow and frozen turf has also forced us to cancel tryouts for our farm league this coming weekend. They will be held the following weekend at the same time as the post cards you received. In the event the snow will still be on the field we will have the tryouts on the parking field. We would advise all participants to wear sneakers and warm but loose clothing. / As we mentioned above the travel teams are practicing very hard at their indoor practices and we are assured of being well represented in the L.I. Junior Soccer League this coming year. We have mentioned in past articles how tremendously proud we are of our coaches but We have regretfully failed to give their names in our column Our 19 year old and under team is coached by Eric Jones and he is assisted by Frank Racco. This is our team with the most experience and we know that they will give 100% effort and determination. The 16 year and older team is headed by Al Draft and he is ably assisted by Archie Difendini who was a head coach last season but because of prior committments could not devote the time he would like this year. Rod Mujica is the head coach of our 14 and under team and is capably assisted by Rod Sotomayor and Ken Dabids. This team shows lots of promise because they have played a year together and they haveHhe patience to still learn the game. Our youngest team is the 12 and under team and they are well coached by George Vargas who is assisted by a relative newcomer to soccer Ray Cody. This being our youngest team we have the highest of hopes that they will continue to play^the game together, and enjoy themselves to the fullest extent possible. These are our travel league coaches and they were picked on their ability to handle a team and to teach these young boys the fun- damentals of the game and then to exoand on these fundamentals to the various intricacies that are involved in the game of soccer. These men have all played the game at various levels of proficiency and now Seek to devote their time to share their love for this fine game. We appreciate this and thank them for their dedication. We have ap- proximately 30 more coaches in the farm teams and they will be highlighted in later issues. Roller hockey is going along smoothly with the draft to be held this week and the teams to be notified by their respective coaches as to their practice schedule. The season will tentatively begin on Saturday, March 12, weather permitting of course. These roller hockey coaches have attended numerous meetings prior to the beginning of the season and they are sure to be well prepared for the coming season. We will again have the senior and junior divisions and we will as always strive to create an atmosphere where these boys will have fim and learn the game. The coaches here are young themselves and they will seek to share their knowledge of the game. We have some newcomers in both divisions and we even have some who will be on skates for the first time, but looking back we lmow that they will learn and will enjoy themselves. We have had much response to the notice that we are looking to field an unlimited age hockey team. The age response has ranged from the low requirement of 19\ to the high age of ??? Seriously we would still like to hear from some more interested adults about this idea and anyone who is interested can come to Allen Park either this weekend or the next and give their name and phone number. • BobDarienzo Legend has it that left-handed President James A.

The Dalers are now 12- 3, and are tied with Herricks and Syosset for first place. \We've progressed very well this season. As I expected, we are tougher the second time around,\ coach Carl Savalli stated. When * the Dalers: met Plainedge, the possibility of a letdown was present.

They/ were shown the December sky as one would see it with the naked eye if \there were no polution and a minimum of: street lights, and the constellations and how to recognize them; In the outer room, they saw nebulae and were most impressed with a film story of the position of the planets. Pauline Marcus and Shari Marcus, leaders of Junior troop 616, escorted their girls to the Sunrise Mall to have the ex- perience of shopping by them- selves, selecting an item of their- own taste, and then paying at the cash register; Few of the girls had ever shopped without their parents. After their spree, they met at FarrelTs Ice Cream Parlor where\ they Were treated to a film usually shown only to trainees at Farrells, which teaches many interesting facts about ice cream and how to properly make sundaes and sodas. The scouts, then, were allowed into the kitchen ; where each girl made her own sundae with* choice \ of flavors of ice cream' and; syrups, plus • sprinkles, nuts, crunch, whipped \cream r ahd a cherry. The manager of . Farrell'S, generously, gave each girl a coupon for a future meal.

After Plainedge opened with a basket, the Dalers went on a scoring spree, giving themselves a 15-4 lead. The Dalers took advantage of numerous errors and converted them into easy baskets^ The period ended with the Dalers v holding a thirteen. point lead. *' In the second quarter, it seemed as if the Dalers wanted to give the Red Devils a chance to get back into the game. The Dalers committed nine turnovers in the period, and only Plainedge's inept play kept the Daler lead at thirteen. \We were not playing great in the first half,\ Savalli com- mented. \We were sloppy and we were simply not rebounding. They were really out-hustling us.\ \ ; - •:•<;.: The second half provided the improvement Savalli wanted. The Dalers were working the ball well and looking for the open man: After breaking the game open early in the third quarter, Savalli pulled/out his starters. Particularly impressive off the bench were juniors Harry Calivas and Ed Gibbs. The Dalers won easily, 69-44. \We had a well balanced at- tack tonight,\ Savalli noted. \We got the ball inside well and everyone contributed.\ The statistics reflect this balance, as no Daler scored-more than thirteen points. After the victory, the Dalers came up against the team which had blown thepi off the* court earlier this season. Herricks, With a record of 11-1, was ranked second in the county when they took the court against the Dalers. The first quarter Started out slowly. The Dalers were getting the ball . inside to - senior Bob Graziano, but Herricks was matching baskets. Steals by senior Lawton Bryant and junior Tom Tessitore, however, turned the game around as the Dalers opened a Surprising 22-11 lead.. The second quarter Was a tight defensive quarter, as neither 'team could mount much of an attack. The Dalers were shooting poorly,, but the Highlanders couldn't takcadvantage of it and ended the half still trailing, 28-20. '\We were very patient/tonight. When they (Herricks) denied Graziano the ball, we looked elsewhere. The movement was there,\ Savalli said. Any hopes for a Herricks comeback were ended with the third quarter. The Dalers were using Graziano almost like a decoy, which set up easy baskets through the middle. The Dalers, holding a sixteen point lead, ended the period to a standing ovation.; The final period added the finishing touch. When the Daler offense stalled, Bryant started it up again as he scored nine points in the quarter. Bryant scored 23 points in the game as the Dalers tied for first, 69-52.\ \We really wanted this one bad,\ junior Bob McCann said. \This was,the same team we lost toiast time, except this time we were ready.\ \We r were definitely up for v. thus one,\ Bryant agreed. ; • The Dalers continue their season tomorrow night against Syosset A victory would clinch a playoff spot and give the. team a strong- shot at their fourth straight division title. x m it > 70 \S. z' o > 1- m \V o </» X SO • *n m 0B 70 c > .70 «< *»4 ••'\'••':: , . . . ; ' \ : • •v.-'.;-.*. -..:••':•:•' •; ,••>• :
