CAMDEN, ARKANSAS Porker Graders Open Fall Drills Fayetteville, Sept. 2 Arkansas' Razorbacks may accomplish more than their coaches had hoped in the period of less than throe weeks they have to prepare ft their 1948 football opener. The reason is that the 70 candidates who reported for the first two practice sessions of the season yesterday appear to be in unuual- ly fine hysical condition following the summer vacation.

With less trouble in getting the Porkers into playing shape, more time can be devoted to scrimmage and game strategy. Head Coach Barnhill lost no time in the pair of two-hour workouts yesterday. He had several back- held units running plays in a dummy scrimmage and the linemen working on their assignmnets in sessions which closely resembled those of midseason last year. More of the same was scheduled today. Working in what apparently will be the first backfield combination were Clyde Scott, the all-America candidate at Leon 'Muscles) Campbell, the brusing fullback who seems to be fully recovered from a knee injury which dogged him last year; pass- snagging Ross Pritchard at wingback and Alvin Duke, the veteran blocking back and defensive star.

Among those turning out for the first drills were 23 lettermen, a lock of 1947 squadmen who failed io letter, several junior college transfers and players up from last freshman team. A dozen or more others, including lettermen. Tackle Leon Whittaker and Back Bill Davis, are expected to Join the squad within a few days. The first game will be with Abilene.

Memphis Back In Top Spot By The Asft'clated Press Memphis tvime through last night in one of the Southern tightest spots in years with a doubleheader victory and today leads the league again.

The Chicks whipped the New Orleans Pelicans 4-1 and 5-2, to go into the lead. Nashville played a I single game, won it 4-3, but dropped into second place. The Vols handed the Birmingham Barons their first defeat in eleven games. One percentage point separates the Chicks and Vols Memphis playing .600 ball and Nashville .599.

Trickey. Daily workouts are being held in the morning and evening as the 1948 team prepares for the first game, Sept. 10. with Warren, here. It Is too early to state who will make the first team.

Coach Trickey said, or to guess at what kind of a team Frrdyce will have this year.

As was the case last year, the Redbugs will be a light team and will have to depend on speed to overcome the heavier squads from larger cities. The Redbugs again will play one of the toughest schedules in the state. Rated as AA, they will play four big six teams.

Bob Watts and George Rogers were selected as co-captains. The 27 who turned out for football Friday are as follows: Bob Watts, George Rogers, Jackie Crowder, Billy Helms.

9. but due to a conflict the game will be played on Friday. The Bearden team will be ed around a heavy experienced lint which will be two to three deep at each position. Two freshmen, Jimmy Jones and William Summers, are making strong bids for starting positions at tackle. The backfield Is heavy and fairly fast and the reserves are light, but fast.

All are showing ability as runners with two good passers and one excellent kicker. Coach Jim Cook says he hopes to win at least 50 percent of the games, but due to the lack of overall experience he is very passimis- tic about the chances of equalling last years team, when the Bears won 8 and lost 3.
