Hawks' Hot Line Dalers Top Pequa The fast learning Peanut 2 Team played a most impressive game against a tough Lynbrook eleven. Lynbrook took the opening kickoff at midfield and drove in for the touchdown. Farmingdale came right back with Quarterback Chris Wildes handing off to Cardone and Hall for long tough yardage. Joe. Cardone went in from the 10 with good blocks by Celentano, Dentato, Goddas, Gorddard and Aspromonte. The PAT failed. Lynbrook came back to make it 14-6. Late in the 4th quarter Farmingdale blocked a Lynbrook^punt with Vaughan recovering in the end zone to make the score 14-12. Farmingdale at- tempted the one side kick which was successful with Anderson recovering at mid-field. Time was against the Hawks as the clock\ ran out with the Hawks on the Lynbrook 25 yardline. Tough defense was played by Youngs, Travis, La Tona, and Arteca. Next week Peanut 2 goes for their first victory against Rosedale. Peanut 1 lost to Huntington this past Sunday by a score of 19-0. From the very first play of the game, the Hawks knew they were in a rough ballgame. On some tough defensive plays, both Wollong and Foresta recovered fumbles. A good job on defense was also displayed by Zeng, and Veccia. Offensively the Hawks were able to move the ball, but just weren't able to get it over the goal line. On the ground, Romano was the dominant force in the Hawk attack. Hoenings threw one completion to Freshour to aid the offensive team. On a 50 yard run back to Hun- tington's 10 yard line, on a kickoff return, an excellent job of running and blocking was displayed by Keck and the rest of the receiving team. On the offensive line, a good display of blocking was executed by Aspromonte. All season long, our kick-off specialist, Mc Intye has been doing a super job. The Pee Wee team was on the road for their second straight week and they suffered a loss to their arch-rivals the Mustangs of Massapequa 7-0. Defense was the name of the game for both teams as neither team could muster an offense. The Pee Wee's best offense in the first half was the over aggressiveness of their opponents. John Humpf and John Starace led the Pee Wees with 7 tackles apiece while Eric Frazier, Bob Lehman, Pat Youngs, Ken Zeng and Tom Shrimpe played well in a losing effort. It was unfortunate that we had to play our toughest foes away from home and it will certainly be a pleasure to be in the confines of Farmingdale this week when we face Elmont in what could be a turning point game. The JVs looking to go above the 500 mark this season were plagued by mistakes committed by the offense. Fumble^ of which there were four played a major role in the outcome of the game. Everytime the Hawks had an offensive drive going, turnovers stopped the drive and the Hawks were forced to give up the football. The defense did their level best to keep the JVs in the game as they did an outstanding job.. The only score came late in the first quarter when the Red Devils QB completed a long pass that was well defen- ded, but the receiver made a remarkable catch. It gave Levittown a big lift and they drove in for the score. When they made the PAT the scoreboard read Farmingdale 0 - LevittoWn 7 and it was to be the only score of the game. On defense a good performance was turned in by Contarino, De Troia, Bleck, Parrella, O'Sullivan, Ciesielski, Heuskin, Loughran, Carman, Hill and Panariello. O'Sullivan and Panariello also had in- terceptions Jto stop Red Devil drives. Some of the bright spots on the offense were Mc Mahon, Bellia, and Penner (sounds like a law firm) for their solid line play. It was a disappointing loss but the JVs will be out to even up their record against the L.I. Bronco's this week at home. This past Sunday the Midget team virtually took the tiger by the tail in defeating a big Hempstead team 6-0. On the very first play that Hempstead had the ball they attempted to throw a pass to the right flat and to everyone except the Referee it looked like Dave Januszewski intercepted the ball and raced 35 yards for a touchdown. Only to be negated by a penalty for pass interference. This gave Hempstead a first and 10 on the 50 yard line but the \sack pack\ although giving up yardage begrudged the Hempstead team of any score. Outstanding players on the defense were Bryan Jones, Jeff Sidorski, Ed Borelli, Mike \Rocky\ Carbonaro, Karl Sote, Tommy Zeng, Mike Ihm, Mike Freshour, Dave Januszewski, John Vigh and Jerry O'Sullivan. They all put it together and shut-out the Hempstead Tigers 6-0, only giving up a total of 58 yards all day. The offense which was a little rusty moved the ball up and down the field but were unable to score or put a drive together. Early in the third quarter a well mixed offensive series capped off by a 25 yard TD pass from Sote to Zeng put the only score of the day for the both teams on the board. The notables for the offensive team are Russo, Mulchay, Freshour, Zeng, and Sidorski. A special note of thanks goesto the fine Cheerleading Corp of the Midget Team. These girls go unnoticed game after game. So again girls we say \THANKS\. This week the showdown of the Midget 1 Division -- the Hawks face the undefeated Levittown Red Devils at 3 pm at Howitt Jr. HS. by Tom Callahan The Farmingdale high school football team, with a new-found running game and a consistent, solid .defense, defeated Massapequa, 18-7. The Dalers are Hawks Harem Mother nature has been smiling on us and has given us two sunny weekends, bringing out the crowds to the football field. We are happy to say that the shack has been bustling. Each week it becomes more difficult to fill this space, so we would appreciate it if any of you members would keep us informed of any newsy itemsu Bring any tidbits to the shack. And speaking of the shack its time we gave a little recognition to the two people who keep it running week after week, without them there where would we go for those delicious Hawk dogs and knishes and your early morning bagels and coffee. We all thank you girls. See you next week. now 3-2, and second in Con- ference I. The outlook was not so bright before the game started. Out with inluries were seniors Rick Giusto and Bob Vencak, while fullback Hawk Seniors Top Roosevelt The Farmingdale Hawks Senior Team hosted the Seniors from Roosevelt this past Sunday. Unlike their first meeting where the Hawks came from behind in the remaining seconds of the game, this Sunday's game was Farmingdlale all the way. From the opening kickoff which Roosevelt fumbled deep in their own territory to the closing whistle, the Seniors were in charge. After Roosevelt fumbled, Farmingdale had the ball on Roosevelt's 30 yard line, with 3rd down and 6 yards to go Quarterback Greg Wildes connected with Tight End John Detommaso for a 25 yard Touchdown. The point after was good by Jimmy Bovish for 2 big points which gave the Hawks an early lead of 8-0. On the very next time the Hawks had the ball they scored again, this time it was Jimmy Santore running it in from about 30 yards out. The second quarter saw Tommy Walsh take a screen pas$ from Quarterback Greg Wildes and running it in froih 40 yards out. This run by the way saw Tommy cutting and spinning behind some great blocking from the left side of the offensive line. As the half ended Farmingdale had the ball on the Roosevelt 8 yard line for 4 downs where a tough Roosevelt defense held them. Plenty of Defense was played in the second half by both teams. Great performances were turned in by Albanese, Durrang, Lore, Murphy, Robitzek, Recio, Clare, D'aquino, Lotierzo, Thompson, Pezzano, Stallone, Mastromauro, LoMonaco, Farinella, Grieshaber, Mayberry, Pangallo, Wilcox, Calderone. The final score was Hawks 20 Roosevelt 6.

DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!! Wolverine 9 s Lair By Bob Darienzo A full schedule of soccer games was held this weekend at Allen Park as more than half the season is finished for most teams. A lot has been learned by the coaches, boys and girls, parents and the Wolverine Board of Directors about our league and soccer in general. We are in the midst of a soccer boom throughout the land and most especially in Long Island. To be a part of this history is an honor and a privilege. It also carries with it to^ be up to the task to make soccer a truly American sport. The boys and girls of our league are there to have fun and if that fUn is not there then we are failing in our ideas and ideals. Sometimes it is hard for the coach or parent to remember that soccer is just a game for the children and is not em- ployment. Winning or losing is definitely not as important as developing the character of the participants. In reality sometimes losing can be more beneficial to all parties concerned. I would never advocate losing for losings sake but being able to lose and still come back to enjoy the game is very important. In our farm league action this week the Comets defeated the Rowdies 4-2 as Kevin O'Neill had 3 goals and Steve Komsky had a lone goal to round out the scoring for the winning Comets. The Comet coach was proud of his whole team as they played well throughout the game. The Minutemen defeated the Apollos in a closely contested game 2-1. The Minutemen's first goal was scored by Teresa Cuccio and was assisted by John Battjer and Paul Comeski. The second and winning goal was scored by Beth Angwin assisted by Rose Currio. A strong defensive game was played by William Ahrens, Jerry Gerhard, Joe Castringano and Patrick Kelly. In the Spurs vs. Dynamos, the Spurs were victorious 3-0. Brian Fenwick was the goalie who mastered the shutout for the Spurs. Scoring for the Spurs was Mary Ellen Reichel wibh 2 goals and l goal by Laurie Orr. Assists in the game were had bv Mike McCann and Mary Ellen Reichel. The Aztecs and' the Royals played to a 2-2 tie. The Aztecs were led by the line of Chris Bottjer, Robert Mendelkow, Brian Neiderberger, Jamie Freund and Scott Arenholz. Robert Mendelkow had the two scores for the Aztecs. For the Rovals who nlaved excellent as a t^am, the goals were scored by Mike Fasicanio and Kyle Ferrari with an assist by Fasicanio. Great offense was played by Larry Scura and Bobby O'Fee. The Defense led by Carolyn Cody and George Tryphonos. The Whitecaps defeated the Cosmos 2-1 to remain undefeated in their division. The Whitecap scoring was by Matt Schildknecht with *both goals. The assists Were had by Jim Faria and Chris McGovern. An excellent game was played by Sean Maguire, Andy Schildknecht, Ken Norris, Peter & Brian Lavan and Micky Cunningham. The Stings defeated the Stars 2-0 in a game that brought the stan- dings neck and neck. Steven Persche again led the Stings with both goals and that now gives Steve 14 for the year. Jeff Prager and Ximena Mujica also played well for the Stings. Mike Fishman led the Stars while Rich Kuksar played well on defense. Due to a rained out game the Stings and the Astros played a game at mid-week in the evening. Both teams played well enough to win but in the end the Stings came out on top 3-2. The Astros goals were scored by Karla Kopp and Billy Buscti assisted on both. The Stings goals were scored by Matt McCann with 1 and high scoring Steve Persche with 2. Out- standing on defense for the Stings were Eddie Marchesaud and Lisa Pierce. Again we ask all our players to keep up with their schoolwork because that is the most important of their duties. Soccer, as are all sports, is secondary to good schoolwork. If the sport interferes with good grades then the sport must be put aside until the grades improve. We also hope that all the Wolverine boys and girls enjoy a safe Halloween this year. Kim Humph was not to start after being sick all week. The first quarter, as well as most of the first half, was filled with errors. A poor snap from center on a Massapequa punt attempt gave the Dalers the ball in excellent field position. The Dalers quickly took advantage of this gift as senior Vin Serniak punched in for the touchdown from a yard out late in the opening quarter. But, the Chiefs came back late in the half. Unable to dent the Farmingdale defense on the ground, Massapequa went to the air with good results. Three consecutive first downs set up a short touchdown run and a 7-6 lead. \That wasn't sloppy play.\ stated Daler coach Don Snyder. \There was a lot of good hitting out there, and good hitting causes fumbles.\ Each team fumbled twice in the first half. The Dalers came out for the third quarter with an attack which was anything but effective Obviously needing some offense, the Dalers brought in Humph. Almost immediately the Far- mingdale ground game opened up, as Humph banged for yar- dage inside (16 carries, 69 yards) on some plays and acted as a decoy on others. His insertion into the game was the definite difference. With the Dalers offense sud- denly rejuvenated, the Chiefs were finished. The Dalers drove for two time consuming touch- downs in the second half with complete and obvious dominance. The Farmingdale defense did not give up a first down throughout the second half, and allowed but three in the entire game. Massapequa could manage but 116 yards total of- fense as the Dalers won, 18-7 \I was hesitant to play Jimmy (Humph) because he had been sick all week,\ said Snyder. \On top of that, he had a tooth ex- tracted. He came in and ran the ball real well.\ Not to be overlooked is the consistently improving DaJer defense. Despite the 3-2 record and numerous injuries, the defense has held up \They did a real fine job today,'' Snyder praised. \Tommy Sanders, Pete Olsen, Jim Quinn, they all played really strong games.\ From here the Dalers take on Berner. This will be the first meeting of the two teams in recent years which will not be a title game. Despite this, the rivalry is still intense. The Dalers play at home Saturday at 1:30. Chlorine Problem Now Jthat the swimming season is over, the Fire Inspectors Association of Suffolk County would like to suggest to all pool owners that they store their chlorine very carefully. If at all possible do not store in your home. If you have an outbuilding or shed, that is the place for it. It should be in an air tight container and if possible, away from combustibles. Chlorine reacts spontaniously with many. common items in- cluding moisture. This reaction can be of a heating nature causing a fire or the generation of a toxic gas which in con- centrations as small as 50 PPM (parts per million) can be dangerous for even short ex- posures. * * * * .
