Back-Seat Driver With ail her faults, the back-seat driver at least has enough interest in life to look ahead. -Times, Chilton, Mo. by Tom Callahan The Farmingdale high school lacrosse team, in preparation for a key game against Syosset, defeated MacArthur this week by a score of 13-4. The Dalers are now 2-1 in division and 6-2 overall. MacArthur is not considered to be one of this year's toughest teams, but the first quarter didn't prove it. Although the Dalers played fairly well, they got themselves into early trouble with penalties. The Farmingdale man-down defense seemed disorganized as the Generals scored three man-power goals for a 3-0 first quarter lead. \We played real well at normal strength, but we weren't strong on the man-down,\ stated Daler coach Bob Hartranft. \We made some mental errors and just seemed to lack our usual strength.\ The Dalers had given up just two goals in their previous thirty six man-down situations. The second period started like the first, with the Dalers getting many shots and nothing to show for it. But early in the period senior Rich Rogers fired a bullet past the General goalie and the Dalers were rolling. Junior Rick Giusto added three goals in the next three minutes as the half ended with the Dalers holding a 4- 3 advantage. Wolverine's Lair Fine weather has finally come to the Farmingdale area and the Wolverines are making the most of Allen Park. The soccer program seems to have adjusted to some problems that might have jeopardized the playing time of some find kids. Some of our younger coaches have started working at part-time jobs and have found that they did not have the time that was needed to properly coach a team. Fortunately for everybody concerned there were enough concerned individuals, parents, older brothers and sisters, and friends that were willing to devote some time to children. We applaud them for their efforts and already know they will have a positive effect on the Wolverine soccer league. Our 19 and under travel team ran their record to an encouraging 3 -1 - 2. This past week they defeated Medford 4-1. Ricky Jones had two goals and was assisted by Tom Lavan and Peach Williams. Pat Murray and Roy Paiva each had a single score and the assists were made by Ricky Jones and Roy Paiva. The defense was led by Jeff Pie pert, Joe Micceli and Pete Albrecht. The 16 and under team played Locust Valley to a 2 - 2 tie. After scoring two quick goals with the wind at our backs we were then forced-to play against the wind and our game was slowed down because of this wind factor. Kenny Worker and Mike Garcia scored the goals for the Wolverines in this game and the rest of the team played excellent defense. ,_ Our only.undefeated team, the 12 and under squad,\ 4 wins and 1 tie, were on display this past weekend as they defeated the Celtics 1 - 0. Defense dominated the game 90% of the time and finally with 10 minutes left in the game. Peter Quinn scored the onlv coal. The tenacious defense of this team was led by George Vargas, Darren LiVecchi and Alex Hesse. Farm league action was just as well played as the travel and this was seen in the many closely contested games. The Jaws and Whitecaps played to a 1 -1 tie. The goal for the Jaws was scored by Anthony Ustica. The offense was led by Lynn Jones, Tommy Prial, Beth Angwin and Robert Dentato. Chris Garcia, Steve Anderson, Glenn Graham, Mike Reed, Vinny Grosso and George Lane. Peter Hraba had another good game in goal for the Jaws. The Tornadoes defeated the Aztecs 2-1. Billy Muller and Mike Beljan scored the goals for the Tornadoes in a well played game for both sides. The Spurs defeated the Metros 1 - 0. Jeanne Kammer scored the lone goal. The Spurs defense was led by Ellen Bernhardt and Jean Coppola and Mary Kilduff in goal. Mary Faria played well on offense. For the Metros Laura Lavin, Sue Chewuk and Patty Bates played an ex- cellent game. The Rowdies and the Metros played to a 0 - 0 tie. The Rowdy offense was led by Ann Turner, Jeannette Ward. The defense was anchored by Linda Adams, Lori Sichler and Chris Moroney. The Rowdies came back after this tough game and defeated the Appolos 1 - 0. The lone goal was scored by Jeannette Ward. There was good defense by Linda Adams and Chris Moroney. The offense was led by Lori Sichler and Ann Turner. For the Appolos Missy Cote, and Patty Weber were leaders on offense. Leanne Contarino, Cathy Marino, Debbie Shrimpe and Elaine Contarino led the defense. The Metros defeated the Rowdies 6 - 0 as Karen Henkelhad three scores followed by Lori Chewuk, Mary Engleman and La,ura Lavan with a goal apiece. There was also outstanding defense by Dianne Freshour .and Sue Chewuk. In one of the best played and most inspired games of the week the Stars defeated me Diplomats 2 -1. This was the stars first win and it could not have come at a better time for the team. They were in the midst of a coaching change and they responded wonderfully. The goals for the Stars were scored by Beth Angwin and as yet unidentified player. The goal for the Diplomats was scored by VitoScutero.

We outshot them 35-6, but their man-advantage kept them close. I think our four goals in four minutes had to hurt them,\ Hartranft said. What was a close game sud- denly came apart in the third quarter as the Farmingdale offense started to find the net. After an early trade of goals, junior Bob Naslonski scored a pair of goals within two minutes. The final quarter started with the Dalers holding a commanding 10- 4 lead. The fourth quarter offered no help for MacArthur. The Dalers continued to put on the pressure, while the Generals couldn't even manage a shot on net. Juniors Naslonski, Ed Decker, and Bob Staugaitis added goals as the Dalers won easily, 13-4. \We did a good job against these guys, but now we've got to look ahead,\ noted Hartranft. \We play Syosset Tuesday (after the Post's deadline) and that we'll be tough. They're always ready for us, and it could be anyone's guess.\ The Dalers know it won't be easy. \We can't afford to letdown against anyone, and we know Syosset will be ready,\ commented Staugaitis.

It was decided to institute a beginners club which would meet on Thursday afternoons. It has proven to be a great success. With the advanced gymnasts helping the younger beginners, the latter have, advanced very rapidly Just before the holidays over a hundred boys and girls in the beginner group took part in a skill demonstration for their parents. All participants receive* Achievement Certificates. The highest scorers in the Beginners' Group will be appearing in this Thursday's Demonstration along with approximately fifty girls ia • the Intermediate and Advanced Groups. At least eighty young gymnasts are expected to par- ticipate. Spectators will be cordially welcomed.
