man up for 16 and hit a pop up
that was hauled in by Edgar who
flipped the ball toward first base
where Edwards caught it and put
Hovel out. A high fly by Chapman
went into deep left, field where it
was plucked by Broussard to re
tire the, side.
Three up and three down was
Bizzell’s record in the top of the
third. Edgar and Howell grounded
out while Sheffield flew out to
left where Armstrong was waiting
with open arms.
16 Copies Bizzell Action
Dorm 16 copied Bizzell’s actions
in their portion of the third as
they also put up three men only to
watch them rack up as many outs.
Pruett proved a sucker for Muery’s
high ball and Groff and Nance
grounded out.
First and only runs for 16 came
in .the bottom of the fourth. Len
zen got things under way for Dorm
16 by socking a Muery pitch over
Baxter’s head in center field to
gain the longest hit of the game—
two bases. Harris was the next 16
batter and got on base while Ed
gar, Bear first, wrestled with the
ball in the infield dirt. The ball
won the match. McReynolds was
thrown out at first when he hit
a ground ball to third but Lenzen
went in to score Donn 16’s first
run of the game on the play. Cre
dit for a RBI went to Armstrong
as Harris crossed the plate when
he got a bingle. Harris’s run was
16’s final run of the game.
Bizzell Racks Up Pair
Bizzell picked up two more runs
in the top of the sixth. Baxter
got credit for another RBI when
he picked up a single and knocked
Alvin Aaronson in home. Warren
Muery made it across the plate
when Dorm 16 first, Morris let
Belinsky’s grounder leak between
his legs into right field.
Final and fourth run for the
Bears came in the top of the
seventh. Credit for the RPI (run
pitched in when hit by pitched
ball) went to Pruett, 16 pitcher,
when he dusted off Aaronson with
one of his pitches with the bases
loaded.
When the dust had settled, game
statistics went Bizzell five hits,
four runs, three errors and Dorm
16 four hits, two runs and three
errors. RBI’s Baxter two, Arm
strong one and DP’s Edgar to Ed
wards and McReynolds to Harris.
Errors Edgar, Harris, Hovel,
Pruett one and Sheffield two.

Traveling by Air
Hogs Still Trying to Revive
Hold on Aerial Supremacy
The great pass-receiving days
of Jim Benton and Ray Hamil
ton have long since passed at
Arkansas but the Razorbacks still
haven’t given up the idea of pick
ing up yardage on the gpdiron
the easy way—via the ait.
Fourteen years and five head
coaches later, the Razorbacks of
1951 could quite conceivably come
up with a recurrence of the fab
ulous aerial game that made Ar
kansas “the passingest team in
the nation”—a title they still
claim.
No Danger
Arkansas’ chances of breaking
its own national collegiate record
of 308 pass attempts in* 1937 (and
2,005 yards) isn’t exactly in jeop
ardy of being surpassed by the
“upstarts of ’51”, but present indi
cations are that this year’s squad
may come as close to that mark
as any Razorback team has since
that time.
Leading this expected assault
on enemy airways and counted
upon to carry the bulwark of the
attack are two fast, elusive pass
receiving, seniors that will operate
on the blanks—Pat Summerall, co
captain of the ’51 squad and Bill
Jurney. Coincidentally, both men
are out-of-staters — Summerall
hailing from Lake City, Fla. and
Jurney a Kansan from Coffeyville.
Quite Opposites
Quite the opposite in size, the
two are tabbed by head football
coach Otis Douglas as “outstanding
college ends and potentially great
pass receivers.” Summerall at 6-3
and 225 pounds dwarfs the smaller
6-3, 190-pound Jurney. Summerall,
with speed despite his tremendous
fame, is a terror at shorter, “over
the middle passes that call for
height, big clasping hands and a
dynamic power to bowl over op
posing backs.
Jurney earns his plaudits with
terrific speed and agility for snar
ing longer passes. In track as a
sprinter, he’s cruised the 100-yards
in 9.9 seconds, while a muscular
build enables him to also double in
the shot put. Summerall, All-
State in high school as a basket
ball player-, is a member of the
Razorback cage varsity also.
Given a fair opportunity to grind
out yardage with a wide assort
ment of pass plays and a trio of
capable passers in senior Jim Rine

The College Station netters re

any trophies but they had men in
both the doubles and singles fi
nals.
Billy Blakely of College Station
defeated Dickie Dowell of College

local team won over Blakely, 6-2,
6-1 to enter the finals against
Billy Procter of SHSC who was
the champion sending Terrell
down 6-4, 8-6.
Tom Thompson reached^ the
quarter-finals but was 'eliminated
by Sonny Ayres.
In the doubles Col. E. F. Sauer

by winning over Richard Spence
and Henry Small, but were elimi
nated in the semifinals by Blakely
and Dowell who went into the fi
nals. - «i|#
Thompson and Bill Yardley were
defeated in the semifinals by J. C.

went on to defeat Blakely and

A quick check of the record
books reveals a gradual climb in
the passing game at Arkansas in
the post-war years. In 1946, the
Porkers attempted 107 passes com
pleting 41 for 716 yards in 1947,
111 attempts netted 53 completions
for 818 yards; in 1948 a slight
decline (with Clyde Scott’s great
running game going smooth) to
102 attempts for 48 complete and
784 yards; in 1949, 53 were com
plete out of 133 attempts for 649
yards; and last year, Arkansas
threw 226 passes, completing 91
for 1,170 yards.
Summerall and Jurney have, had
their pass . receiving success thus
far in alternate years. The former
caught 17 for 298 yards and three
touchdowns two years ago as a
soph; while Jurney, transferring
to Arkansas last year, led the re
ceivers with 22 receptions'for 335
yards and three TD’s. In 1951,
Douglas has defintely assigned
both men to the offense with an
eye oh an improved passing game.
“Buildup”
Two Springtime Red-White
games witnessed a definite up
swing in passing with the three
QB’s throwing 84 aerials and com
pleting 38, well over 45 per cent.
Jurney and Summerall nabbed 14
,for 2449 yards.
A passing increase, notwith
standing, neither man has any
hopes of endangering Jim Benton’s
all-time conference record of 78
receptions for 814 yards in 1937.
A pair of 350-500 yard efforts,
however, would add certain vic
tories to the Arkansas schedule as
Avell as provide a return of the
“pass-dizzy” football days of 1935-
37 that are still recalled by many
a Razorback football fan.
