It was largely a game of clawing defense with only one break for the first three quarters and that break had the Longhorns pressing to come from behind for the third straight game. The Texas touchdown came hard. The Longhorns had to run 14 plays to cover 46 yards and wingback Phil Harris barely made the final two yards on fourth down. He was collared on the Ditch been so often the case in the their prideful fans. Saturday night on the line for Darrell Royal, normally not hectic Texas Arkansas series since Royal and Frank Broyles a gambling man when it comes started their bumping for SWC to football, called for the ride with the fates after Ernie Koy domination.

The Longhorns won by 13-12 in 1959, Arkansas by 24- one desperate gamble: an attempt to make three yards in one crack at the Arkansas goal-line defense. The gamble was a two-point conversion try after the Long-horns had mounted a magnifi had sliced in for a touchdown 23 in 1960 and last year the with only 87 seconds left in the while Arkansas went streaking game.

Instead, Green studied the ground like it was going to rise up and hit him in ihe face. And he felt sick at his stomach. The uncomfortable feeling hadn't deserted Green 10 minutes afterwards.

The words still came hard. He had to force them out. "There's nothing much you can say," the senior tailback mumbled while hunting his shoes. "Marvin couldn't get it off like he wanted. He had to hurry it.

It got to me on the bounce. I couldn't get to it." (See HIX, Page D2) By JOE HEILING Staff Writer Hix Green died a thousand deaths on the Arkansas one-yard line Saturday night. They buried the Texas Longhorns' No. 1 ranking in the nation right alongside him. Green was on his knees, desperately stretching backward for a pass from quarterback Marvin Kristynik that would have saved the crown.

But Green came up with a handful of grass, not the precious bauble. He didn't see the Arkanas Razorbacks slapping each other (See TEXAS.

The Texas Aggies were honoring their great 1939 team which went undefeated at the halftime, and it was only appropriate for the current edition of Aggies to depart with a victory. TCU struck for two early touchdowns, and then staved off the Aggies for a 14-9 victory before a crowd of 20,000.

The Bears and the Longhorns are 1-1 and Tech is 2-2. If coach John Bridgers was still wondering before the game who his No. 1 quarterback was, Southall surely erased any doubt from the Baylor mentor's mind. Completing 13 of 24 passes for 197 yards and one touchdown, Southall also showed he can run as he picked up 44 yards in nine (See BEARS, Page D2) Ik 1 KRISTYHtK i TX sfotr (( (1- DANItL olds passed 23 yards to Billy 5 39.8 433.7 Fumbles lost 1 0 Yards penalized 82 85 By FRED SANNER Staff Writer WACO The Baylor Bears called on their Brownwood combo of Terry Southall and Lawrence Elkins here Saturday night to put the Gold and Green in the win column for the first time in four outings this year as Hale for a touchdown and Larry Rice kicked the extra point Saturday night to give Rice a tight Ok 7-6 victory over Southern Meth odist in the opening Southwest Conference football game for each school.

"He wasn't supposed to go long," said quarterback Fred Marshall, who threw the pass. "He went to the sideline, but the halfback came over to cover, so he cut downfield.

It was a great move." "I guess so," Crockett said haughtily. "I don't remember By this time, cokes were being poured on each other, and a few ardent fans were sneaking victory chamber, no one would commit himself to a prediction. "Well, I 'can't comment on that," Caveness said. "We've got five other games, and we'll just have to take them one at a time." A pale Darrell Royal was in the Pig dressing room immediately after the game, and Frank Broyles called for silence as last year's coach of the year addressed his boys. Broyles wouldn't tell the press wht.t Royal said, but tackle Jim Williams spoke freely.

"He said he was looking for us to go all the way, and he told us not to get knocked off because it's easy to do in the Southwest Conference. He wished us good luck." After Royal left, the room boomed with "I don't give a for the whole state of Texas, I'm from Bobby Crockett, who caught the touchdown pass that put the Hogs in front to stay, couldn't in. The red that is always so predominant in the hills of Hog-land began to clash with the orange benches that were littered with tape and filthy uniforms. "There'll be no candle tonight!" a player shouted. "That Tower's going to be all white!" the play." "What can you say? You beat the Number One team in the nation," Marshall half shouted.

"The defense won the ball game. It's just a real great Ken Hatfield, who sent the Razorbacks in front with the second longest punt runback in Pig history, saw a clear field when he picked up the ball. "It was a perfect alley it was one of those things you dream about happening especially against a great team like Texas. Those guys blocked beautifully. They're the greatest bunch of guys and on that play they just put in something extra." And the Texas 27-story main building was indeed colored white if anybody besides Ar- Broyles said of the decision to run the extra points rather than go for a tic.

"We knew they were going to kansas bothered to look. Tom McKnelly, who kicked the extra point that proved to be the winning margin, recalled 1962, when Texas drove to a 7-3 victory in the last 36 seconds. "It couldn't happen again," he said with more an expression of relief than confidence. "What a ball game what a ball game," Frank Broyles repeated in a corner of the dressing room. "Kenny Hatfield's punt return gave us the momentum we needed.

Up until then, we were stalling, and doing much." A quick check of the records showed Arkansas with 136 yards of total offense, and nine first downs to Texas' 18. If the punt return started things moving, they didn't move very far. "Royal did the only thing he could do, being Number One," (See HOGS, Page D2) By BILL LITTLE Staff Writer "One football learn and 5,000 fans just gave the whole state of Texas the red eye!" shouted an Arkansas player over a host of shouts in the Razorback dressing room. And outside, a student body, and in fact a state were crying out the Eyes of Texas but even that couldn't drown a hateful scoreboard that told the saddest story man's ever heard defeat. "I thought I was going to faint when I saw that ball hit the ground," linebacker Ronnie Caveness said of Marvin Kris-tynik's pass for two extra points that would have won had Hix Green been able to seize it.

"That's the greatest feeling I've ever had." Caveness, like all the Arkansas players, reflected a great respect for their beaten ents. And though cries of "We're number one!" rang in the small S.W.C.
