that i
college upset in the nation this
year.
In a hard-hitting game in Little
Rock s War Memorial Stadium,
A&M rose to defeat the eighth-
ranked Razorbacks, 17-9.
Like the Baylor game, Mark
Green and Pat McDermott pro
vided the points, but it was a
matter of another tough defens
ive performance and good work
by the offense in working against
an Arkansas team that is in first
place in the Southwest Confer
ence. Green had touchdown runs
of three and 20 yards, while car
rying 27 times for 102 yards.
McDermott kicked a 34 yard field
goal and two crucial extra points.
Staying mainly on the ground,
Joe Mac King threw but four
passes, completing two for 22
yards.
Arkansas’ Joe Ferguson showed
why he has been rated so highly
at quarterback. The junior com
pleted 31 of 51 aerials for 345
yards. One of the main statistics
was the Razorbacks' total of only
50 yards rushing.
Tight end Bobby Nichols led
all receivers with nine catches
for 102 yards. Jim Hodge, the
flanker, had 84 yards via seven
receptions, and Mike Reppond
caught six for 86.

r
several weeks ago, all of A&M’s
points resulted from Arkansas
errors, and the Razorbacks trailed
by 14 at one time, although they
scored first.
The first quarter was surpris
ingly even—suprising to the 54,-
446 people in the stadium and
even in statistics. The score was
0-0 and the period was unevent
ful, except for A&M’s defensive
ability to contain the Razorbacks.
At the beginning of the second
quarter, a Mitch Robertson punt
gave Arkansas the ball at the
A&M 47. Three passes for 11, 19
and 10 yards and two unsuccess
ful runs gave the Hogs a fourth
and five from the 12. Bill McClard
kicked a 28 yard field goal, break
ing Happy Feller’s NCAA scoring
record for kickers.
The Aggies came right back,
starting with Hugh McElroy’s
14 yard return of the kickoff.
Robertson was forced to punt,
though, and he lofted a 41 yarder
to the Arkansas 38. Jack Morris
fumbled the kick, and Steve Burks
recovered it, giving A&M the
spark they needed.
King hit Homer May for 18
yards, and Doug Neill followed
with a four yard run. Green took
off around right end for 13 to
the 16 yard line, and Neill got a
tough yard up the middle. From
the three, Green hit left end for
his second touchdown of the year.
McDermott’s conversion with 7:43
left in the half capped the drive.
The next two times they had
the ball, Arkansas moved to
A&M’s 46 and 33 yard lines, but
the bending Aggie defense re
fused to break, and the half ended
with A&M on top, 7-3.
Early in the third period, Fer
guson completed a pass to Nich
ols for nine yards, but he was
smeared immediately by Lee Hitt
and David Hoot, who jarred the
ball loose. Hoot fell on it, and the
Aggies were in business at the
Hogs’ 47.
A pair of first downs moved
it to the 18, and McDermott’s
field goal was true from 34 yards
away, and the Ags led 10-3, fol
lowing the 47 yard drive in nine
plays.
On a third and five situation
after the kickoff, Ferguson lofted
another aerial, but Hoot spoiled
the Razorbacks’ hopes, picking
off the pass at the 33. McElroy
swept right for five yards, then
four, and Kipg kept up the mid
dle for four more and a first
down. He completed a pass to
May for 12 yards, but it was

ruled incomplete as the ball was
dropped out of hounds.
Green followed with a run off
right tackle for a 20 yard touch
down. He was hit twice at the
line of scrimmage and by two
more defenders five yards later,
but the sophomore tailback was
not to be denied, as he scampered
into the end zone standing up.
McDermott’s point after gave the
Aggies a 17-3 lead with 7:30 to
go in the period.
Ferguson tried once again to
get his team going, but Nichols
fumbled at the Aggie 29 after
taking a pass for 17 yards. Hitt

Late in the quarter, after a 41
yard Robertson punt, the Razor-
backs went 74 yards in 11 plays,
the climax being a seven yard
sweep to the left with 15 seconds
to go by Ferguson. He tried the
same play for the two point con
version, but he fell down on the
rollout, and it was 17-9.
