In the fourtb period with Sloan doing the chunking the Hogs moved from their owjr'25-yard line down to the Btngslithree-yard stripe where again they were halted.

This time Lemak intercepted the ball and Louisiana State punted to midfield. The next charge of the Razorbacks, though, was not to be denied. It brought Arkansas right back to the goal line. Lemak again jumped In front of a pass but Instead of batting it down as intended he knocked it Into Brown's hands and the Hogs' touchdown resulted. Louisiana Slate played -without the assistance of Its sensational halfback.

Rock Reed, but tbey had many other stars on the field. Gayneli Tinsley proved to be the great All-American end he is claimed and Bernle Dumas, his running mate, was good. Big Moose Stewart was outstanding for the Tlgera on the defense. Tbe Porkers offered their stars and Bobbins showed flashes of form that have made him the finest halfback In tbe Southwest. Weather conditions greatly handicapped the teams but the Tigers by their slashing power plays proved they were the better club.

With Coffee, Morton and Milner alternating as ball carriers, the Bengals moved from their own 14-yard Una to Arkansas' eight before Arkansas braced and turned them back. Late in the second period Rohm and Crass featured the ground gaining, sweep lug ends and going oft tackles.

Arkansas st.trted its aid attack working to perfection tn the third period and aroused the hopes of their followers.

He cut back from the opposition and down the side lines. He got one jump on Keen of the Hogs and It was enough to carry him to safety.

Milner, Morton and Pinky Rohm ill took long excursions. Coffee turned In a gain of 18 yards for his longer' run, Milner picked Up 33 at otil time and Rohm had a lf-yard sprint credited to Mm. After Louisiana State had turned In its third touchdown the Porkers struck bark with gTeat fury. TtKir celebrated aerial circus, with Slosn doing the slinging, was put on display.

Fans Should Witness Fat Battle When Champion Faces Californian Does brute strength count more than speed and science in a catch-as-catch can grappling contest? This question should be answered Monday night in the municipal auditorium when Ray Steele (Pete Sauer), scientific Californian meets Leo Savage, the strong man of Kentucky, and crown bearer, in a mat match that is being billed for the heavyweight championship of the world.

Steele Is said to be the acme of wrestling science. Me mutes In the ring like a panther, and Is always In position to strike haul and effective. lie knows every thing there Is to be known about the manly art of scuffling, and In I he record book tin niniicrn wrefilrrs, he rates Willi the first io.c In hi profession, hi this respect, Steele I the hlshest rated matman to be booked for a bout here with Savage, The be-whiskered giant of -Kentucky, Savage Is powerful and game. He weighs In the neighborhood of 3S0 pounds. He lacks science but this has proven no handicap to htm.

He has successfully defended the title handed him by the Texas State Athletic commission on many occasions. He uses the power In his arms to crush opponents Into defeat or force them to surrender. He specializes ln the bearhug and the backdrop, The question for Monday night's struggle Is can a good little man defeat a good big man? Steele will be spotting Savage about fifty pounds In weight, and the fans are wondering If this handicap will prove too much. Steele, who halls from the Pacific coast, does not think so. He says he has defeated men many pounds heavier than Savage.

Because he was feared by all leading challengers, 8teele or Sauer as he was formerly known, campaigned for years as the 'masked He adopted the disguise In order to obtain matches. He later wrestled under the name of Pete Sauer but was forced to use his family name of Ray Steele when nominated to participate In the heavyweight championship tournament In New York about four years ago. Steele Is confident that he can peat Savage, but there are others who believe the big Kentuck-lsn has too much weight and strength for the Californian. Otto Kus, the tall Indiana grap-pier, has developed Into a real box office attraction, will try his flying head sclMor on Marvin Westenberg, the southern champion. In the semifinal bout.
