Arkansas Picked
To Take SWC Title
FORT WORTH—Talented Arkansas is the choice to become the
first team in Southwest Conference history to win three straight
undisputed championships as voted by the news media in the 38rd
annual TCU Sports News Poll.
The Hogs were the overwhelming choice of the 106 members of
the press-radio-TV, winding up with 41 first-place votes and a to^l
of 224% points (1 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, etc.) Texas, popular
choice in the poll for years, is next with 282, with 24 scribes seeing
an Orange crown; and TCU is third, with 18 first place votes, and
337% points. Baylor is the fourth-place pick, grabbing 13 first-place
ballots and a total of 362% points. The rest of the finish has SMU,
fifth, 567; Texas Tech, sixth, 673%; Texas A&M, seventh, 713; and
Rice, eighth, 859 points.
Never has a SWC team won three straight crowns. And Ar.
kansas is a top threat to become the first. The Hogs were unde
feated in Conference bouts for both 1964 and 1965, and finally had
the nation’s longest winning streak snapped at 22 in the Cotton Bowl
on New Year’s Day. Texas has been the poll’s choice four of the
past five years, except 1963—ironically then it was Arkansas, but the
Steers went on to the national title. Last year, Texas had to settle
for a fourth-place tie, the worst Longhorn finish since 1958.
Despite Frank Broyles’ great success at Arkansas, the Fayette-
ville school has only one other time been the consensus favorite,
That was in 1963, when the Hogs nosed out Texas by a mere half
point. Arkansas finished 4th, while Texas posted that perfect record
for a national title. In 1937, the Hogs were picked to tie with Texas
A&M, but had to settle for a third-place spot as Rice won it all.
Arkansas as the favorite will be out to break the hex placed by
the poll through the years. Only SIX times have the media made the
right forecast—1938-TCU; 1943, 1945, 1950—Texas; 1958-TCU; and
1962, Texas. And on three other occasions, the selection at least tied
for the title—1940, SMU tied with Texas A&M; 1963, Rice tied with
Texas; and 1961, Texas, but had to settle for a tie with Arkansas,
The Hogs had their backers like:
“Why get off a winner?’’—Jack Agness, Houston Post. >
“Bill Bradley may have a ball but it will be another year for a
Hog call,”—Sam Blair, Dallas News.
“Pork chops again the prime choice over beef.”—A. C. Beckei,
Jr., the Galveston News.
“Not even a Baptist Revival can change those devilish Hogs.”-
Jim Finley, Bay City Tribune, who also had the Bears second.
“For the first time in several years a guy can say ‘it could be
any of four teams’ . . . and really mean it.”—Burle Pettit, Lubbock
Avalanche-Journal.
“I’ve got more confidence in ‘Super Jon’—-who’s been this road
before—than ‘Super Bill,’ who ain’t. ‘Super Boo’ or ‘Super Terry’ of
TCU and Baylor could open eyes, too.”—Jim Trinkle, Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.
“Arkansas has tradition, plus Harry Jones, Jon Brittenum and
Loyd Phillips.”—Bill Young, Pine Bluff Commercial.
“When the race is close, it usually goes to the swiftest, and that’s
Arkansas.”—Walter Robertson, Dallas News.
