Hog Defenders Aid Offense For 2nd Week By ISH HALEY J'IMES Sports Editor The first time around there's joy and jubilation in every move. i the second try comes the feeling of accomplishment, but most of the joy turns into disappointment for the mistakes and the knowledge that the same miscucs might cause a defeat in a encounter. That's the way it is when you're a defending champion and ranked third in the nation. The 55-0 victories look good in the record books, but they will already be history when Razorbacks begin their preparations for this Saturday's Southwest Conference opener i Texas Christian University.

The fact that the Razorbacks ran over Tulsa 55-0 here Saturday is very impressive, except to voting members of the national football polls. The fact that (he Porkers had a pass in- lost three fumbles and allcVed their quarterback to droprjp behind the line on five different occasions worries coaches and players while failing lo impress almost no one. The big mistakes made the conversation in the dressing room for the victorious Porkers, a team which has assumed the quiet determination and business-like demeanor of a Broyles' 1965 championship team. The defense made it a for the offense," Broylns quickly pointed out. "They gave us some good scoring opportunities.

There were many on both sides, hut our defense made up for our mistakes." TOUGH TULSANS In addition to uniforms a matched the AstroTurf, Tulsa also had a tough football team which exhibited the teachings of their new coach Vince Carillot. "Tulsa is an agrc.ssive football a Broyles conceded. punished (Bill Montgomery more than any team has in a long time. Our running game had 'o carry us." Broyles took pride in victory, the eight-straight for Arkansas. I'm pleased that we won, but I am disappointed that we made as many mistakes as we did.

It was a game of mli- takes." Montgomery, the junior quarterback from Texas, suffered through the afternoon in ths manner of a Joe Namath. They "Tulsa had an aggressive de- bolh got hit on every play, fcne. I can't remember a singls play where I wasn't hit," Montgomery said. We are still making too many mistakes on offense. I know that 1.

myself, am making too many stupid errors. I've got to get better." Montgomery said that blitzing Tutsans, sending everything from linebackers to safe- lies through the line, created some different problems. They have a lot of things that they do well defensively," Montgomery said. We just didn't think that they would blitz that much." One of the men who felt the effects of the blitz was sophomore tackle Mike Kelson. They were coming at us i everything the kitchen sink," Kelson explained.

I'va got to work on the blitz, especially when the safety comes." FIRST TOUCHDOWN Senior end David Cox showed a lot of excitement after ha snared the first touchdown pass of his college career. I can't even remember if I've caught one before," Cox beamed. It sure feels great." The Arkansas defense hasn't surrendod a touchdown sinca last year's Texas Tech game. They have become so good at their profession, they've even began to Lcore a few of the points for the offense. We re got 14 quarters now, "pointed out senior defen.

sive end Gordon McNulty in reference to the fact that the defense hasn't rendered a touchdown. We play them one quarter at a time." Another key man in making things easy for the offense is senior defensive halfback Terry Stewart who also handles tha punt returns. It's frustrating to get tackled when you break so often," Stewart moaned. Senior middle-linebacker Cliff Powell summed up the pattern for the first two football games. Our theory or philosophy is to stop them early in the game.

It shakes their confidence in their offense i giving us a psychological edge." Powell explained. TUI.SA WIND Tulsa won the toss and elected to take the wind and hope for a a Arknnas, however, broke for a 67-yard, 10-play touchdown drive with the open, ing klckoff. Tulsa played determined football throughout i game, hut the only thing ended up winning was that coin tosj. The magnificent Arkansas defense came up with five fumble recoveries and intercepted three posses. They also pressured Tulsa punter Ken Duncan into two other fumhles for additional field position aid to the offense.

For the fans, especially the Dads on their very own football day, it was a beautiful cele- hration. The blue sky, Razor- (TONTINUEn ON PAQB II).
