Pkscticolly storting the game with a 14-point dsficit, the Aggies ohtated the fans by racking up 21 points in about half that many ntihutaa. [Clyde Scott was the rohl show, npttind 115 of Arkansas' 124 yards by rosning. He kept breaking loose fer runs when the Atfb line held bbek waiting for a pans. On one play be ran off the weak side all by himself for a twelve yard gain, using speed to outrun the Aggie line on the soggy turf. The Aggie’s Stanley Ht>Unrig also added some thrills to the gamg with his su- * perk pub ting. Oae of his shots went out on the three and another punt bounced on the Arkansas one-foot line. ♦ The fans had hardly settled In ttfrir eeats after the opening kick off before McGaha of Antansas intercepted a flat-sone pass on the Aggie 47 and tweed across the goal untouched.

Not only did we manage to miss the Arkansas-Aggie score (we picked Arkansas 18-0) but our hunches on Texas and Baylor failed to pan out. Only on the Rice-Texas Tech game did we score a bulls- eye which couldn’t have been very hard in view of the fact the Owls were no less than a four-touchdown favorite.
