Bacon .. .65 317 University Dr. North Gate By MICHAEL RICE Now there is Arkansas for the recently victorious Texas Aggies, who travel to Little Rock this weekend for a battle against the toughest team in the Southwest Conference. Arkansas, which is 3-0 in con ference play compared to the Ag gies record of 1-2, defeated North Texas 60-21 in Fayetteville last weekend to up their season rec ord to 6-1. Their lone defeat was to Tulsa in the third game of the season. When speaking of talent on the Razorback squad, one must begin with the quarterback slot, where Joe Ferguson (6-11, 180) is throwing the ball with the accur acy of a champion sharpshooter. Thus far in the season, Fergu son has tossed the pigskin 165 times for 94 completions to net himself 1331 yards and 11 touch downs. That equals the Arkansas record for passing touchdowns in a season of Ronny South in 1967. Ferguson’s favorite receiver, Mike Reppond (175) is another outstanding player on the squad. He has caught 33 of Ferguson’s passes for 622 yards, with an av erage of 18.8 yards per carry. His backup man in the split end position is 175 pound Jack Ettin- ger, who has caught 11 for 165 yards. At the tailback position is the leading rusher for the Razor- backs, Dicky Morton (180). He has carried 93 times for a net gain of 667 yards on an average of 7.2 yards per carry. The man behind him is Mike Saint (200), who had four TD’s against North Texas in 15 attempts. Tight ends on the squad include Bobby Nichols (205) and Steve Hedgepeth (210) while the full back slot is filled with the 208 pounds of John Jenkins, and Russ Gaber (215). Jenkins has also thrown the ball in the quarter back spot for Coach Frank Broyles’ Razorbacks. Flankers for the team will be Jim Hodge (170) and Keith French (170). Ron Revard (225) will be the center for Ferguson. Revard’s second will be Stuart Freeland, a 235 pound sophomore. Mike Kelson (238) and Tom Mabry (248) will be the head men in the tackle positions with Tom Reed (220) and Glen Lowe (245) hitting A&M from the guard spots. Defensively, the Razorbacks are stronger than they thought they would be last spring. They lost seven starters from last year’s 9-2-0 team, but so far this fall proved to be about as strong NL’s Torre and Jenkins headline ear’s All-Star baseball team this y< ST. LOUIS <A>)_St. Louis Cardinal third baseman Joe Tor re and Chicago Cubs’ righthander Ferguson Jenkins were the top choices for the National League All-Star team named Wednesday by The Sporting News.

Ends Les Williams (190), Steve Cox (205), Ronnie Jones (200), and Jim Brawner (195) are the defensive mainstays for their po sitions. Linebacker posts are held down by Danny Rhodes (210), Bill Ken nedy (205), Scott Binnion (200), and Doug Scheel (190), while the tackles for the defensive line in clude David Reavis (240), Bob by Bradsher (215), Archie Ben nett (245), and Don Wunderly (220). Cornerbacks for the Razorbacks are Louis Campbell (182), Jim Irwin (170), Jack Morriss (175), and David Hogue (185). Morriss set a Razorback record last week with 146 yards on seven punt re turns to top Lance Alworth’s 136 yards on seven attempts against Tulsa in 1961. Safeties on the squad are Jim Taylor (182), Corky Cordell (180), Clark Irwin (180), and Mike Davis (177). On the specialty team is a spe cial person named Bill McClard (205), who kicked six of eMl extra points against North tJ as. He needs two more kickij points to surpass the NCAAcil reer record of 185 which was J by Happy Feller of Texas in ml 70. Overall, Arkansas has a pass,! ing and running game which atj fairly equal, meaning both aJ very strong. Defensively, AiJ sports a team which is more«| perienced than the RazorbaeJ but speed and strength are quid| ly making up for that deficit.

LUTZ HOUSTON, Tex. <AP)_The Houston Oilers, trying to win their first game, were bolstered on two fronts Wednesday, one by the addition of two running backs and the other by owner Bud Adams. Oiler coach Ed Hughes said he hoped to get the new backs, Rob ert Holmes from Kansas City and Dick Post from Denver, ready to play some Sunday against Cin cinnati in a Central Division con test in the Astrodome. The first thing I asked Dickie was how do they number the holes in Denver,” Hughes said. “If they’re even right and odd left, it just helps us that much more. He’ll have a lot of adjust ing to do to learn our terminolo gy. average. Lloyd Kitchens of Bay' lor copped second place honors with 16 receptions for 232 yards, two touchdowns and a 14.5 aver age per catch.

Hughes said Holmes’ stature, 5-foot-9, 220 pounds, could be a help in picking up the Oilers’ listless running game. “He’s so short, it’s hard to get under him for a tackle,” Hughes said. “He could run through a lot of arm tackles.” OUR SPECIALTY 1/5 Carat Eye Clean Diamond For Senior Ring, $40 plus tax C.
