THE BATTALION
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1974
Will face toughest opponents on the road

Razorbacks have good team, tough schedul

teams
The Arkansas Razorbacks have
experience, talent and a new of
fense. Coach Frank Broyles knows
how to win. The schedule seems to
be their one drawback.
The Hogs play Texas, Texas A&M
and Texas Tech on the road. In
1973, they beat only Baylor (13-7)
and tied SMU (7-7) on the road.
Coming off a 5-5-1 season, Arkan
sas has 18 returning starters and 31
players who have starting experi
ence. Broyles switched from the “I”
to the Wishbone due to the abun
dance of quality running backs.
Donald (Ike) Forte (6-1, 190), a
Tyler Junior College transfer, may
be a key to the offense.
“The first time I saw him in a
scrimmage last spring, he made five
yards every try, sometimes more,”
said all-SWC defensive end Ivan
Jordan. “He could be the new Dic-

key Morton.” At Tyler, Forte
scored 20 touchdowns his final sea
son running the wishbone.
Scott Bull (6-4, 200), starting
quarterback until a knee injury last
August, will be back to reclaim his
starting position. Mark Miller (6-2,
180) played defense last year trying
to regain his cutting ability. He will
also be trying for the quarterback
job.
Mike Kirkland (6-1, 185) was the
1973 starter. As a sophomore, he
ran for 461 yards, completed 75 of
151 passes for 990 yards and three
touchdowns. The fact that he’s a
passing quarterback may be his
downfall playing for a wishbone of
fense.
“We will have a good offense,”
said defensive coordinator Jimmy
Johnson.
The rest of the backfield will con
sist of Alan Watson (6-0, 205), play
ing halfback with Ike Forte, and
Marsh White (6-2, 209) as fullback.
Other backs that will see action are
Barnabas White (6-0, 177), Marvin
Daily (6-1, 205) and Rolland Fuchs
(5-10, 180).
On the front line offensively.
senior Lee King (6-2, 235), picked
for all-SWC honors, will lead the
way at tackle. Gerald Skinner (6-5,
250) will be at the other tackle with
Richard LaFargue (6-4, 224) at
center. Junior Russ Tribble (6-4,
220) and sophomore R. C.
Thielemann (6-3, 224) will be the
guards.
On defense, the Hogs will be as
tough as last year. They gave up
only four touchdowns combined to
TCU, Baylor, Texas A6tM, Rice and
SMU in 1973. Nose guard and
linebacker seem to be the only holes

One of the basic problems of a “big” bank is
the difficulty of maintaining personal contact
with a large number of customers.
Every bank can be personally involved with
its customers when its number of accounts is
small. But as a bank grows, all too often it
becomes impersonal.
Personal service is a big part of big banking

City National Bank is among the “big” banks
in the area. Yet, we are working very hard to
insure that all of our customers (even our
student customers) get the full services they
need.
CNB has three young men working directly
with student customers. We call them per

But with a little more than a week

A 74-yard touchdown pass from
Ken Stabler to Cliff Branch late in
the second quarter lifted the Oak

Football League exhibition victory
over the San Francisco 49ers Mon
day night.
A crowd of 52,538 and a national
television audience watched the
Raiders overcome an early 6-0 de
