The final score was Arkan-, sas 60, Hardin-Simmons 15. Mooly scored the first 100-yard touchdown, starting in his own end zone where he had hobbled momentarily the Hardin-Simmons kickoff.

He raced straight up the middle for the longest touchdown run in Arkansas history, midwav in the second period. I.ate in the third period with Arkansas leading 30-1, Kyser. who sometimes subs for Mooty, i duplicated the feat from almost the same spot in the end zone. His route was up the sideline along a trail of flattened Hardin- Simmons defenders. The previous longest Arkansas touchdown run was 96 yards by All-America Wear Schoonover in 1929.

SMU was on the Aggie 3-yard line as the game ended. Southern Methodist has lost one came out of three and is still barely in the conference race, which is led by Rice and Texas Christian with three victories apice. Meredith made his touchdowns with runs of 5 and 8 yards and he figured in a pass-run play that ate up 78 yards in the biggest thriller of the game.
