This year's Farmingdale
Junior High Football team, ac­cording
to the coaching staff, has
promise of developing into one of
the truly great varsity teams.
The 5- 1 season mark was the
best in nine years.
Coach E. Balboni had high
praise for the entire squad, but
singled out quarterback Steve
Woodford, halfback Bernie Simp­son
and fullback Jim Lioursi as
" excellent players." Woodford,
he added, has a good chance of
helping next years varsity team.
" Steve will have to improve on
his passing," he said, " But I
have very high hopes for him."
Balboni said that his entire back-field
was deep in all positions*
and he could have gone with two
different units.
A 200 foot long ' Airena,* the first of its kind,
will soon make its appearance at Bethpage State
Park. The 20 foot high nylon structure will be
used as a training area for riding students and
for the training of horses.
