GO GREYHOUND
...and leave the driving to us
By PAT EDMONDSON
Battalion Sports Writer
Bad memories haunt the minds of
ansas followers as the Texas Ag-
visit Little Rock Saturday for the
tsttime since 1971. It was then that
insas was headed down the path
(ward their first Southwest Confer-
sChampionship since 1964 when
Jey were national champions. The
lorkers had all but obliterated the
iniversity of Texas on national tele-
Tperroi sionand Gene Stalling’s 2-5 squad
®is assumed to be an easy victim.
But somewhere in the scheme of it
l.some things weren’t meant to be.
&M jumped on Hog quarterback
»e Ferguson and the rest of his of-
nsive unit and rode home with a
upset victory. Arkansas was
gj /entually tied by the Rice Owls and
nished second in the conference
ihind Texas.
The situation will he somewhat
fferent this year, as Texas A&M
nters the battle as the number two
turday. $

ranked team in collegiate football
with a 10-0 record.
Arkansas is 8-2, losing its games to
Oklahoma State and the University
of Texas.
The game marks the end of the
1975 regular season schedule for
both schools as they tangle for the
Southwest Conference Cham
pionship and the right to entertain
the University of Georgia in the 36th
annual Cotton Bowl Classic on New
Year’s Day. The loser will face the
Southern California Trojans in the
Liberty Bowl Dec. 22.
The meeting was originally
scheduled for Nov. 2, but both
schools agreed to change to the late
date so it could be televised nation
ally by ABC.
It will be the second consecutive
week that the Aggies have been
played before a national audience.
Last week, before a jam-packed
crowd of more than 56,000 in Kyle
Field, the Maroon Maulers upended
the Texas Longhorns for the first
time since 1967 by a convincing
20-10 tally.
The Razorbacks were idle, but
handily defeated Texas Tech the
week before, 31-14.
In last year’s contest between the
clubs, reserve fullback Jerry Honore
rushed for 131 yards and two
touchdowns in guiding the Aggies to
a 20-10 win. One of his scores in
cluded a 60 yard run from scrim
mage. Randy Haddox added field
goals of 57 and 40 yards, respective
ly. Arkansas lit up the scoreboard on
Ike Forte’s 12 yard run and on a 32
yard field goal by kicker Steve Little.
It will be the 49th meeting with
Arkansas leading in the series, 27-
18-3. A&M won the opener, 6-0, in
1903.
The Ags will be without the ser
vices of quarterback Mike Jay, who
suffered a back injury in last week’s
game against Texas. Mike Williams,
a back-up defensive back will also sit
out the finale. He is suffering from a
strained knee.
The nucleus of the Arkansas offen
sive attack will most probably be ab
sent when kick-off time arrives. Jerry
Eckwood and Ike Forte, two of the
leading ground gainers in the SWC
are both hampered with injuries.
Eckwood has a bruised thigh and will
not see action. Forte dislocated
three toes against SMU and is listed
as probable.
Against SMU two weeks ago, Ar
kansas broke its 1974 season high
rushing mark of 2915 yards. They

LITTLE ROCK — For Scott Bull,
Texas A&M’s victory over Texas was
like the death row inmate getting a
reprieve from the governor.
It meant a second chance.
Bull’s first shot at quarterback for
Arkansas in a ’big game was a disas
ter. It came against Texas Oct. 18.
That day, Arkansas lost five of eight
fumbles and Bull had three intercep
tions. The Razorbacks went down
24-18 and were counted out of the
Southwest Conference race on sev
eral fronts.
Arkansas stuck to its knitting, as
Razorback Coach Frank Broyles
likes to say, and, with A&M’s victory
over Texas, is one victory away from
the Cotton Bowl.
“This is what everybody strives
for, ” Broyles said. “We don’t have to

win two, three, or four games to
achieve our goal. It’s down to just
one game.”
The Razorbacks play A&M Satur
day at Little Rock. A victory means a
share of the SWC title and a spot in
the Jan. 1 Cotton Bowl against Geor
gia.
A&M is 6-0 in the SWC; Arkansas
is 5-1, and Texas is 6-1. A three-way
tie would mean a trip to Dallas for
the Razorbacks because A&M and
Texas have played in the Cotton
Bowl since Arkansas lost to Louisiana
State University in 1966.
The loser of Saturday’s game goes
to the Liberty Bowl Dec. 22 against
Southern California.
Bull says the A&M game is
“another chance for me to prove I
can play well in a big game.
