(AP) Some Arkansas fans responded to razzing from the Texas bench by throwing seat cushions, bottles and other objects toward Texas players in the closing moments of the Longhorns' 15-14 victory over the Razorbacks Saturday.

A few Texas players responded by shouting obscenities toward the stands. The brief display of poor sportsmanship ended after the public address announcer called on Arkansas fans to remember that the Texans were their guests. Glen Rose, a retired basketball coach who operates the public address system at Razorback Stadium said he saw some cushions thrown and an unidentified man told him about bottles being hurled. Martin took the offensive in the eighth round when he caught Liston with several lunging lefts and backed him into the ropes. Each exchanged close-in left and right jabs as the round ended.

Martin, ranked No. 3 among heavyweights by the World Boxing Association, caught Liston in the ninth with a left hook and then a right cross that flattened Liston. Martin was caught by a Liston left in the fourth and fell on his side but was up at three and didn't appear badly hurt. Liston's attemots to finish off his foe failed as Martin countered with left and right hooks. About 2,000 persons attended the nationally-televised bout at the International Hotel's showroom.

Royal said Arkansas played about as he expected and he believed he was correct when he predicted a low scoring game because Texas and Arkansas are capable of scoring a great deal more than a total of 29 points. Royal said that during the first half Arkansas was "more aggressive and probably hit a little harder." He said that the Texas team deserved a lot of credit for coming back after seven turnovers on fumbles and interceptions. "You've got to have something deep within to keep fighting back when you have so many turnovers," he said.

Street said he never thought the game was lost even though the Longhorns were behind by 14 points.
