Arkansas opened its 1951 football season Saturday and showed mid-season form in smashing a smaller Oklahoma team 42-7 before 25,000 persons. The victory was double sweet for Arkansas, which was upset the opening game of last season by the Aggies, 12-7. Arkansas bad such complete control of the game the first time it had to punt was in the fourth quarter.

A fast, heavy line held virtually stationary on the ground. The Aggie's bad kicking and numerous miscues added to the disaster. Arkansas flashed a potent aerial attack that scored two touchdowns anS set up a field goal. And Coach Otis Douglas kept his team under wraps as it showed its dominance in the first half. At the game's end, Arkansas had played everyone it brought.

The Aggies, hit by injuries, finished the game with two freshmen in the backfield. The first time was able to get into Arkansas territory was 2'4 minutes before the end of the second quarter.

Stephens Lifts Sights For '51 Season (This la another In series of pigskin previews, outlining foot-ball prospects at Austin and Central Texas schools.) BY BILL MONROE St. Stephens has graduated from six-man football to the conventional 11 man game, this being the first year for the school to participate in regular football. Coach L. H. Tiner has 40 boys out for the team with some pretty good prospects.

Carter Luckie, 160-pound lad from Houston, Is an exceptionally god passer and very fast. He played on the 1950 six-man team. Paul Harange, 187-pounder from Brazoria, played for West Columbia and was on the 1950 St. Stephens team. "He is a very hard running back," Tiner says.

He hits the line with plenty of drive and likes to rock 'em and sock 'em." Other good backfield prospects are Mike Hines, at quarter, and Bobby Hart, the tailback. Gene Phlpps, of Tallahassee, Fla, is a six-foot end. He played with St. Marks of Massachusetts and has as much experience as any man out for the team. Herbert Shear will probably land the other end position.

Coach Tiner will use the single wing' formation for two reasons. First, St. Stephens organized their team late and has to catch up with other teams that have been practicing since late August. Secondly, he doesn't have enought key men to develop a good team. At the present time St.

Stephens has only three games scheduled. They are Oct. 5 with San Marcos Academy; Oct. 12 with Kinkaid of Houston; and Nov. 10 with St.

Marks of Dallas. The school would like more games with teams of comparable size. Any interested school may contact Coach L. H. Tiner at 6-1372 or 7-6252.
