Muskies, Friday
The Redskins were shut out
21-O last Friday night by a hard
hitting, fast-charging Roseville
team for their third consecutive
loss of the season while the Ram
iblers remain in a four-way tie
for top spot in the MVL with
three straight wins. The two
teams battled on near-even terms
until midway in the second
period when the visitors broke
the game wide open by sending
Junior halfback Terry Lloyd
scampering IS yards to a touch
down. Lloyd repeated this feat
in the next quarter by sprinting
30 yards to pay dirt with the
second-half kickoff. Following
these two sensational runs, Rose
ville's final tally in the fourth
quarter was anti-climactic when
Russell Carr added a I'd from
10 yards out.
Although Caldwell threatened
to score several times during the
game, the Redskins lacked the
necessary punch to move the ball
over the goal line when they
reached striking distance. Their
offensive showed promise up
field but the spark always SEEM
ed to flicker out within sight
of the promised land.
In the first quarter, Caldwell
received the kickoff with Ron
Priest taking the ball on the
three and running it back to the
26. Ward Murrey reeled off Cald-
wells longest gain on the first
play of the game, a 17-yard jaunt
to the 43, then Priest picked up
another yard to the A but on
this play Gary Pezzopane was
injured and had to be removed
from the game. Buckey's pass
to Tim Fleming was just out of
reach, then after Dave Ferguson
was dropped for yard loss,
Buckley punted to the RoSeville
SO.
The Ramblers were penalized
five yards for offside on their
first play setting the ball back
to the 81, their next play lost a
yard, the third gained it back.
At this point, quarterback Larry
MCGEE fired a pass to his right
end but Murrey intercepted it
on the 36 and returned it "a
yards to the two before being
doWned.
This looked like Caldwells
big break early in the game, but
Roseville dug in and halted the
threat. Priest hit the line for
only one yard when the hole
failed to open, then Murrey
getting no blocking was thrown
for loss back to the six, and
Priest went for one to the five.
Buckey'S fourth-doWn pass to
Murrey in the end zone fell in
complete and Roseville took over
on their own five.
A backfield-in-motlon penalty
coupled with a yard loss by Will
son found the RamblerS in a
tough spot on their own one, SO
they punted out to the 25, where
Dave Ferguson signaled for a
fair catch. But still the Redskins
could not score as Buckey's pass
intended for Tim Fleming was
intercepted by MCGEE on the
five-yard line. He was downed
Immediately by Fleming
The RamblerS moved upheld
TO their 40 on short running
plays before being forced to punt
to CaldWells SO as the first
quarter ended. From here the
Redskins launched 55-yard
drive which carried to RoSeVille'S s
nine but again failed to produce
a touchdown. With fourth down
and needing less than two yards,
Murrey stumbled and was down.
ed for a siX-yard loss on the Is.
Taking over here, the Ram
blers struck like lightning to
sew up the game. Quarterback
McGee started a double reverse
by handing off to halfback Rus
sell Carr, who in turn handed
to Terry Lloyd, who promptly
scooted IS yards leaving most
of the Redskins flatfooted. Full
back Marv Wilson plunged for
the extra point and 10 lead.
Near halftime, Buckley got off
a fine 41-yard punt to Roseville's
