Citizen Ricca^ Lynbrook
P. D. Catch Auto Thieves
A private citizen and the Lynbrook Police teamed np last
Thursday evening to apprehend four teenagers who had stolen a
vehicle from the Green Acres Shopping Center.
At about 9:40 p.m., March 12,
Jack Ricca, 30 Shipherd Ave., Lyn-lirook,
while working part time at
the L>'Tibrook Super Seivice Station,
comer of Sunrise and Vincent, went
out to pump gas for a car that liad
pulled up with the driver (constantly
beeping the horn and yelling out
"c'ouve on—come on." W^ien Ricca
asked the driver, what type he want-ed,
regular or high test, the driver
responded he didn't know. Ricca
noticed that the other three occu-pants,
plus the driver were all teen-agers,
and looked very young and
acted extremely nervous. When tlie
driver finally responded to put in
two bucks worth of high test, Ricca
asked that lie nuwe tlie car up to the
correct pump. The driver in attentpt-ing
to get the car the few feet,
stalled out three times. Tliis inunedi-ately
made Ricca suspicious and he
called a friend over and whispered
to him to get th(> policr'.
" I Just Knew"
Stalling for time, Ricca later said
that lie pumped tlie slowest two dol-lars
worth of gas in his life. As the
tear was pulling out heading east on
the Highway, RicH.a spotted Ptl. Rob-ert
Buckman who was on niotor
patrol on the North >ide of the high.

Mules In Finals
By Larry Hirschenhaum
For the first time in the long and successful coaching career
of Ray Nerrie his team has reached the finals of the Nassau Coun-ty
playoffs. But the road to the finals was not an easy one as the
Mules had to scratch out a heart-stopping 50-47 decision over
Hewlett.
Mule trou})les started early when
Curt Fisher couldn't find the range
and Wandy got into foul,trouble.
After Wandy was on the bench,
Hewlett caught up and their impreg-nable
defense collapsed on Sanabria.
Both the Mules and Hewlett played
sloppy ball, but the thing that kept
the score down was the domination
of the backboards by Hewlett's Bob
Steinberg. This factor plus Malverne
foul trouble kept Hewlett in con-tention.
As the game drew to a close the
officiating got as bad as the caliber
of play and Hewlett came within
one marker of the Mules. Only a
clutcli "smoke" by Wandy and a
bad pass by Hewlett gave the Mules
the victory. With the clock showing
only 30 seconds remaining, Curtis
and Wandy began to freeze, Wandy
spotted Sanabria free under the bas-ket
and Ricky converted the iiass
into a basket. The shot went in and
he got a foul shot, he missed and
Wandy rebounded and he was
fouled, he also missed. H e w 1 e 11
brought the ball (quickly down court,
sank a basket, but to no avail as
the score showed Malverne 48 and
Hewlett 47 and only a scant 7 sec-onds
left to play. Williams began to
freeze the ball and as time ran out
he was fouled. Wandy sank both
free throws with ecstatic Mule fans
on all sides of him.
Now its on to Clarke for the final,
versus either Mineola or C.N. Soutli,
which wc can win if we have cliow
mein and "Sweet Georgia Brown"
24 hom's a day.

he said, "talk to us if you think you
represent us, as Mike Goldwater is
doing in the little village of Lyn-brook."
