In announcing the lineup change, Bryant said, “Don Kachtik, our fine fullback, will not play against Ar kansas. His nose was broken in the Baylor game. Although his attending physician said he is all- right, I haven’t seen him, and we have finished our preparations for Arkansas.” Asked who would replace Kach tik, A&M’s leading ground gainer next to quarterback Elwood Ket- tler, Bryant said, “I don’t know, but I’ll find somebody that wants at Arkansas.” Junior Bob Easley and sopho- re Bill Cranberry are the oth- £\J t>; er A&M fullbacks.

Longest return of the season was 15 yards by Texas Tech’s Mack Pogue.
