Might Wehermen Rapture First Grid Title Co-Champs of the Little Six! This was the A Squad's claim to fame for the l946 season. Under the direction of Skip Weber and Lefty Schnack, the team was victor in six of the eight games played. The only defeat was in the first game of the season at the hands of the St. Ambrose eleven, and the only other mar on the record was a tie with Burlington in the second encounter in the schedule. From this game to the last of the season the Muskies proved themselves to be unbeatable, although they were pushed to the limit against Washington, Zl-l4, and Mount Pleasant, 7-2, and climaxed this drive with a top-flight performance at Ottumwa to win the title. Mus- kies will long remember the Ottumwa thriller because it brought home to Muscatine its first football crown. Page 22

Hansuirs Underclassmen Gain TWU Victuries The B Squad, under the direction of Bob Hanson and Tom Bruner, came through a tough schedule with a record of two wins and four losses plus a wealth of experi- ence and knowledge that will prove valuable in future years. The team was beaten by Wapello, Iowa City, St. Ambrose, and Reynolds, Illinois, while gaining decisions from Reynolds and Wapello. The team had a very satisfactory season, considering the fact that much of the squad was composed of freshmen. Boys who showed some promise for the A Squad next year were Andy Hibbert, Harry Lewis, Bob Iones, and Iohn Hahn in the line, along with George Hahn, Gary Gordy, and Iim Marshall in the backfield. The outlook for next season is very bright with so much of the fine material that was shown this year returning. Page 21
