Tuesday, October 30, 1951 THE BATTALION Page 3 Upset-Minded Hogs Ready For Rugged Ags By GUS BECKER Battalion Sports JVriter The big Arkansas Razorbacks, up one week, down the next, will be up and ready for the Aggies this Saturday at Fayetteville. Lamar McHan, brilliant sopho more back for the Hogs is the fourth leading ball carrier in the conference, gaining 268 yards in 69 carries. McHan is also one of the top passers in the conference completing 26 out of 75 aerials for 365 yards and two touchdowns. He has a 13-4 yards per pass aver age. In total offense McHan is third behind Larry Isbell and Fred Ben ners with a total gain of 618 yards. In the punting department the Razorback star has a 40.2 average in 12 punts, to come in second in the conference. Leading Punt Returner Johnny Cole, a junior back for the Arkansas team, is the leading punt returner in the Southwest Conference, returning eight for 163 yards for an average of 20.4 yards. Last week against Santa Clara, Cole returned four punts for 139 yards for a 34.7 average. Pat Summerall, co-captain of the 1951 team, is among the top place kickers in the conference having made three field goals for nine points. Summerall is also among the leading pass receivers catch ing 15 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns for an average gain per pass of 14.5 yards. In last week’s game against Santa Clara the tall Arkansas end caught three passes for 40 yards. The two touchdowns and the three field goals place Summerall with the leading scorers with 21 points. Jim Rinehart, leading Hog quar terback last season who is not ex pected to play because of an ap pendectomy, is one of the leading passers with 17 out of 29 com pleted for 189 yards and two touch downs. Rinehart is a leading scor er with three touchdowns for 18 points. Bill Jurney who anchors one end of the heavy Hog line is the third top pass receiver in the confer ence with 16 passes caught for 259 yards and two touchdowns. Buddy Sutton, a shifty halfback for the Razorback squad, has scor ed 18 points this season to be among the top ten leading scor ers in the conference and scored one of Arkansas’ two touchdowns last week. Jurney is expected to be out the rest of the season from an injury received in the Santa Glarfj game. An emergency operation was per formed on Jurney to remove a ruptured spleen early Sunday morning. Halfback Phillip Reginelli, a sophomore from Lake Village Ar kansas, who an All-State player in high school has shined on de fense for the Razorbacks, who are second in the Conference on de fense. Giving Reginelli a helping hand are Floyd Sagely, Edsel Nix, and Charlie Hallum, all sophomores. Big Lineman In the line, tackles Tom Gar- lington and Buster Graves, are playing as much ball as the vet erans. Garlington is a 6 foot 2 inch, 220 pound sophomore from El Dorado, Arkansas. Graves is a 6 foot four inch, 235 pound sopho more from Memphis Tennessee. The “five giants from the Ozarks” normally refers to the Razorbacks basketball team, but right now it refers to the formid able wall of senior two-year letter- men that make up the Hog defen sive and offensive line. Heading the list is All-Confer ence tackle Dave Hanner, who is co-captain of the team with Sum merall. Jurney’s replacement Frank Fischel is the lightest man of the group weighing 210 pounds. Rounding out the “impenetrable” middle are tackle Bob Griffin who was a standout in the Texas game and Fred Williams, center. Han ner, Griffin and williams each weigh about 235 pounds while Sum merall tips the scales at 218. McHan Sparks Backs In the backfield helping Mc Han will be Sammy Dumas, a 190 pound second year man who is fast and shifty and very hard to stop. Dean Pryor, who is a junior and one of the fastest men on the squad starts at halfback. Also seeing a lot of service in the backfield will be Sutton who is a junior and was All-Southern in high school. Lewis Carpenter, who has been handicapped by injuries this sea son is not expected to see apy ac tion. The Hog line averages 218 on both offense and defense will be hard to penetrate, especially as they will be “up” for this contest. Arkansas has broken even with the Aggies in the football depart ment winning 11 games to the Cadets 11 with, two games ending in ties. Offensive Back Of Week “"iSPri HB P3 “ ' 1 ill ; ; ■ ■ vliliill!

Ags, Hogs, TU In Triangular Cross-Country A scheduled dual meet be tween A&M and the Univer sity of Arkansas on Nov. 3 has now taken on the aspects of the actual Southwest Con ference cross country also sche duled on the Razorbacks campus later in November. Texas University has asked per mission to make the dual meet a triangular one and permission was granted. These three schools—Arkansas, A&M, and Texas—finished one- two-three respectively in the 1950 cross country meet at College Sta tion, and they are favored to take the top three places again this year—though of course, the order of the finish is in doubt. The meet will be Arkansas’s first of the season. The Aggie and Longhorns, however, have already seen competition, with the Cadets appearing to have the best chance at the league crown. The Aggies los to Oklahoma’s cross country team by a single point in a dual meet; and in a triangular, Oklahoma A&M bested both the Texas schools, though barely winning over the cadets by two points, Texas was a distant third. The conference meet is Nov. 19. Running for the Aggies will be James Blaine, Dale DeRouen, John Garmany, Charles Gabriel, Char les Hudgins and alternates Joe Zern and Joe Criswell. Running for Arkansas this year will be lettermen Temple Brown, Jame Yarbrough, Rick Heber, Bill Cairns and James Bean, and soph omore Bill Hills.

The Tech, that is, the Texas Tech game was our only victory.” “We were starving for a win.” “My best thrill in that game was blocking for Bob Smith and watching him run.” “Bob was really going that day. It was a pleasure to throw a block and watch him shake off would-be tacklers.” “The play was a trap play that had been working throughout the day.” “I think that he (Smith) ramb led about 40 to 50 yards on that play. I threw a good block then. I came in from the right end spot on the right lineblocker.” “This run by Bob put the ball up close.” “Bob scored on a short plunge after that.” “I believe that made it tied up at 20-20.” “That whole game had been a catch-up affair for both teams. They’d score; we’d score and they’d score again.” “Each time we made a good gain or score it just fired us up a little more.” “We realized that we could match SMU touchdown for touch down.” “It’s sure a good feeling.” “Though it was a tie we felt like we all had won the game.” When asked who were perform ers in the Ag backfield, Netardus commented: “Glenn Lippman, Billy Tidwell, Dick Gardemal and of course, Bob Smith.” • “I believd that Buddy Shaeffer Was kicking the extra points then. At least, I can remember him kick ing one.” “That qne was weak, in fact, it barely got over.” “And those extra points really counted in that game.” “Up to that game, it had been a hard go;, but after that victory, I mean tie, we were really fired up.” QMC Continues In Winning Drive Jerry Norton of Southern Metho dist tops the punters with an aver age of 41.4 yards on 12 kicks.
