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
