there Bubba Ferguson passed his Zebras downfield. Aided by another fifteen yard penalty (for unsportsmanlike conduct), BlythevUIe found itself backed up against its o'wn six. Pine Bluff had four tries in which to carry over and finally, on the fourth, try, Carl Preston accomplished the. trick from the three with 2:13 left on the clock. In all, Blytheville lost 95 yads on penalties.

THE CHICKS relied heavily on passing In attempt to get back in the ball game.

Jack Renfro did most of the pitching. Final statistics show that they tried 26 passes, completed 15. But most of the completions were for abbreviated gains. The only Chickasaw score came on a four-yard Renfro to Ross. At this stage there were just 33 seconds remaining in the game so Blytheville tried the on-side kickoff which resulted in guard Michael's TD run.

Pine Bluff punted twice for an average of 32 yards while Blytheville kicked five times for 23. FORTUNATELY, oecause of Blytheville injuries, the Chickasaws have an open date next week. They host Fort Smith at Haley Field. Oct. 12.
