Ags Face Tough Arkansas Saturday
Two teams that wound up with
second half performances last week
that would do credit to a national
^ champion—will try to get things
started earlier this Saturday at
College Station. They’re not even
in the top 25; yet the contest be
tween Arkansas and Texas A&M
may well provide the league with
its best game of the week. For
Arkansas—winning its first game
of 1958 has now become something
of an obsession. The Razorbacks
came ever so close to realizing that
goal in a tremendous perfonnance
that found undefeated Ole Miss

gasping at the end. And, they’re
still talking about the sensational
Aggies who put across four touch
downs in 20 minutes time to stun
Baylor at the Bear Homecoming
game, 33-27.
The game will start off the
final November rush for both
teams'—under new coaching staffs
this season. And, this is the month
the experts picked for both teams
to show marked improvement.
That forecast appears to have hit
the nail on the head—judging
from last Saturday’s games.
Arkansas is still winless and
possibly the most desperate of the
two—but the Cadets will be at
home where they are always des
perate. A look at their records
also indicates that each team may
find ample opportunity to move
the ball offensively. That should
come as music to Razorback ears
because they’ve scored only 39
points all season. Each team has
shown in previous games that it
can be penetrated — A&M has
given up 115 point's in six games;
Arkansas, 113.
The switch to the single wing at
Aggieland has quickly developed
the full potential of tailback
Charles Milstead, now the total of
fense leader in the Southwest Con
ference. The talented junior has
773 yards—223 by rushing and
550 by passing. He is .second in

yards in two games against Texas
and Mississippi. That easily vault
ed him into the rushing lead for
Arkansas with a fine G.8 average
per carry this year.
The big change in the Arkansas
camp this week came when Frank
Broyles announced he was moving
Donnie Stone from fullback to
right halfback. Stone started at
left halfback last year but was
moved to the fullback post when
all three fullbacks of ’57 graduated
—Gerald Nesbitt, Jerry Ferguson
and Lamar Drummonds. The rapid
improvement of Joe Paul Albei'ty
and Johnny Fields prompted
Broyles to make the move—for
Stone, a welcomed one.
For the first'time this year the
Porkers won’t be facing a line that
averages over 200-pounds per man.
Though they will still give away
about six pounds per man up front,
the Razorbacks will find the Ag
gie forward wall much like their
own. Only 219-pound Ken Beck
and 215-pound John Tracey throw
the advantage to the Cadets.
While Arkansas tries to further
exploit its outside speed, the real
Razorback problem of the week is
stopping a single wing attack that
in the past has meant champion
ships for the Porkers. The only
two SWC crowns Arkansas has
won in the post-war period came
in 1946 and in 1954—with single
wing football. Broyles will be
meetinv far the second
time in ..-with new
schools for each. Last year,
Broyles, Missouri Tigers defeat
ed Myers’ Iowa State Cyclones,
35-13.
The game also finds Arkansas
and Texas A&M all tied up at
14-14-3 in a series that started in
1903.

for the senior as he is ranked sixth nationally in the re

PORT SLANT
By BOB WEEKLEY
Twas a fine day for making predictions, with the sky
all cloudy and the wind rushing through the trees. It’s
starting to get cold, too, and that should make for terrible
football weather and set the stage for many upsets.
It is not by oversight that ’01 Weekley is leaving out
his A&M-Arkansas prediction. After looking over past re
sults the editor has generally brought to my attention that
every other time I pick the Aggies to win—we lose.
I better keep my thoughts to myself and pick the other
Southwest Conference games.
Baylor over TCU. The Horned Frogs will be mighty
rough in their own back yard,<but they’re going to find
out the hard way that the lean Baylor Bdar is going to be
pretty hard to kick around. This is going to be a meeting
of fullbacks—TCU’s Jack Spikes and Baylor’s Larry Hick
man. Hickman will win going away. Quarterback Buddy
Humphrey will be the straw that breaks the Froggies back.
Texas over SMU. Don’t ever let anybody tell you that
Texas is a soft touch. Peruna may have the sensational Don
Meredith back in action but the Longhorns have more than
just'one man. The Steers^wtCht revenge for the Rice game
and intend to make the Mustangs their whipping post. The
tower will be orange Saturday night while \Texas stages a
victory party. . i v
Rice over. I can’t very well pick a winner in this one.
The Owls have refused to cooperate and say they have an
open date. That’s sneaky.
Arkansas is way up, A&M is down somewhat. Kyle
Field is the battleground. See you there.
