With gusts up to 30 MPH raking the field, Broyles took the wind and kicked off after Arkansas won the toss, and for better than a quarter-and-a-half it looked as if Lubbock was watching a rerun of some old Georgia Tecb-Georgia films from the 1960s. The Razorbacks concluded the first period with 26 yards of offense against 81 for the Raiders, but also with 14 points against zero for the Raiders. Arkansas' first touchdown, in the.

first four minutes of play, came suddenly when Tech, quarterback Joe Matulich hung up a little pass from his 21 that Dixon sucked up and raced 28 yards, untouched, for a score. AFTER a fumble' killed off a promising Tech march, Arkansas' Cary Stockdell punted 54 yards out of bounds at the Tech two-yard line. This soon positioned the Razorbacks at the Raiders' 32 after the retaliatory punt into the wind. Burnett carried six times, left, right and up the middle until he finally smacked over from the three and Bob White kicked his second extra point for the 14-point lead. Except for a clipping the Razorbacks might have gone ahead and salted everything; away early in the second-period.

Not among those present, but profiting considerably in absentia from the event, was the new ACC champion, N.C. State. Though State lost to Clemson 24-19, State takes the prize with a record of 5-1, since Clemson finished 4-1-1.

The determining factor was a tie with Wake Forest on opening day. It was a game indeed rare in numerous respects, ranging from frustration to defense, and form-provoking in virtually all, such as: (1) South Carolina had been allowing an average of 24 points per game, and never less than two touchdowns to each opponent, yet restricted Clemson to a field goal. (2) It was the first time Clemson had not been able to cross somebody's goal line since a 10-0 shutout by Georgia Tech last season. (3) South Carolina was all over Clemson's goal line in the first half, but nev across it in a series of offensive frustrations that reached a state of weird-ness. 1 (4) South Carolina quarterback Tommy Suggs, a sophomore from Lamar, S.C, had halftime statistics that read like something out of the professional leagues 30 passes, 15 completions, 178 yards but nothing on the scoreboard.

Interestingly, the 6-9 Davis and the 6-8 Beaty were on the scoring end twice each. That put the Hawks up, 37-36. And after Tom Boerwinkle hit two foul shots to make it 38-37, Chicago was never ki the lead again. THE BULLS also lost then-hustle before a crowd of 4,169, and averaged just 20 points a quarter for the final three periods. While Chicago had gone 20 of 47 from the floor in the first half, the Bulls made just 13 last half field goals in 42 attempts.

Jumping Joe scored nine of Atlanta's last 19 points, and finished with a team-leading 21. Almost all of his 10 buckets in 18 trips came on fast breaks. Trailing Caldwell in the scoring department were Don Ohl, with 19; Lou Hudson and Beaty, (with 17 each; Walt Hazzard, with 15; Jim Davis, with 12, and Paul Silas, with 11.
