Musky Express Takes Two To Tango vothall The Muskies started the 1953 season with twelve letter- men and three new transfer members which later proved to be very helpful to the Musky cause. The Muskies opened the season against the Roughriders of Cedar Rap- ids Roosevelt at Heinz Field. It seemed that in this game, Don Schmeltzer and Bernie Roth just could not be stopped on the ground. On the first score, Don carried from the two-yard line. The point after the touchdown was fum- bled; but just a little later, the Musky machine struck again. Beri Roth took the ball on the twenty-four-yard line and danced between left tackle and left end, broke into the clear and raced into paydirt. This time the point after was made and it gave the Muskies a decisive 13-0 victory. . . . The Muskies then traveled to Burlington to win a bruising battle in the rain and break a sixteen-year losing streak. It was the first time since 1937 that the Muskies had beaten the Greyhounds. The Muskies scored on a pass from Long to Schroeder, and they later scored again when Don Schmeltzer picked up a fumble and raced forty-four yards to paydirt. The Greyhounds scored only once to give the Muskies a 13-6 victory. . . Next on the Musky agenda were the Keokuk Chiefs at Keokuk. The Chiefs proved to be very strong as they rather easily ripped the Muskies 13-0, The following Fri- day was disastrous for the Muskies also. This time they traveled to Washington to meet the strong Demon team that was later to win the undisputed Little Six crown. Washington took the lead on a beautiful fake and a pass by their all-state quarterback, Doug Whitehead. The Muskies later scored but missed the point after a touch- down to give the Demons a close victory of 7-6. . . . The following Friday, the Muskies took the role of spoilers by snapping a Mt. Pleasant winning streak of 14 games at Heinz Field before a colorful Homecoming crowd. With one minute and 30 seconds left to play in the first half, the Panthers scored on a tricky play from scrimmage and it looked as though they would go to the dressing room at Al Stopped by Two Bulldogs 26
