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

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

Cornerbacks for the Razorbacks
are Louis Campbell (182), Jim
Irwin (170), Jack Morriss (175),
and David Hogue (185). Morriss

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

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.

Houston gets help in trying to win
from their owner and new players
By MICHAEL A. 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

with 16 receptions for 232 yards,
two touchdowns and a 14.5 aver

Mike Luttrell leads ajl scorers
with 36 points for a 12 point pei
game average output. Bounds
took third with 18 points and
John Schluens, Fish place kicker,
took a fourth place tie with
Schott of Texas with 15 points
for two games.
A&M’s A1 Thurmond took

for the Fish.
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.”
