Taking a 7-6 licking from Louisiana State in an inter-sectional game, the Razorbacks found they were in the Dallas New Years Day game because Baylor had knocked SMU from the lead. Baylor also can tie for the championship by beating Rice next Saturday but Arkansas is in the Cotton Bowl anyway since it beat Baylor in regular season play.

Arkansas has a 5-1 record in conference warfare. Frank Eidom, the powerman of SMUs baekfield, was great in defeat but he was about the only man for SMU who could move consistently against the tight-fisted defense the Golden Bears threw up after the shock of SMUs two quick touchdowns. SMU drove 78 yards for a touchdown the first time it ha- the ball with Nutt climbing over center from a yard out.

Eidom ran for six and took a pass for the remaining distance. Baylor came back to drive 66 yards for a touchdown with Saage driving over from the SMU four, then came Shofners interception on which he ran 87 yards to score. The Bears went ahead just before the half ended, cashing in on Nutts poor kick that gave Baylor the ball on the SMU 45. Hooper passed to Saage in a play that carried to the 14 and Shofner and Weldon Holley hammered to the one from where Shofner bounced over. In the third period, Shofner intercepted Nutts pass and ran to the SMU 49, then, "'ith Hooper passing and L.

G. Dupre running, the Bears sailed smoothly to a touchdown. It was made on a 6-yard assault by Dupre over the Methodist left tackle. Baylor brought it to 33-14 early in the fourth period as Hooper and Saage led a surge that rolled 72 yards. Holley rammed right tackle from the two for the score.

By DON ENGEL Advertiser Sports Editor BREAUX BRIDGE, Nov. 21 A tiny Breaux Bridge football team, outweighed by 25 pounds per man in the line, tore huge, irreparable wounds in St. Martlnvilles big forward wall here Friday night to win a startlingly one-sided 21-0 victory in a battle between the areas last two unbeaten and untied high school elevens. Breaux Bridge, playing at an almost unbelievable emotional pitch, was in command of the game throughout.

A crowd of more than 4000 persons, completely surrounding the playing field, saw Breaux Bridge shatter a St. Martinville winning streak that had reached 11 straight games over a two-year period. Superlative play by the center of the Breaux Bridge offensive line was probably the deciding factor in the game between the champions of District 5-A (St. Martinville) and 5-B (Breaux Bridge). Although badly outweighed by Uicir St.

Martinville adversaries, the Breaux Bridge line opened holes for its quick but hard-hitting backs with such consistency that the winners didnt lose a yard all night and were held to no gain only four times in 54 running plays. Center Frank Sibley, guards Donald Breaux and Frank Caslille and tackles Dickie Blanchard and Albert Reese and ends Pat Roberts and Mike Belaire as well wrecked the St. Martinville defensive line, giving their outstanding baekfield sonally gained 171 yards, more than the entire St. Martinville team. The game was the last of both teams regular-season schedules.

St. Martinville next plays Gonzales, District 6-A champion, on December 3 at St. Martinville. Breaux Bridge, now winner of 10 staight games since a 19-7 loss to St. Martinville in the last game of the 1953 season, will play the District 6-B champion, probably Donaldsonville.

at a date and place as yet undecided. Friday nights Breaux Bridge victory, incidentally, was the Tigers first over St. Martinville in the six years that both schools have been playing eleven-man football. Breaux Bridge marched 46 yards to score the second time it got the ball in the first quarter. With Theriot, Vern Blanchard and Luke Doiron alternating carrying the ball, the Tigers drove in seven plays to the St.

Martinville six. Doiron hit off left tackle and went into the end zone standing up. Doiron was stopped on air attomptad run for the conversion, but St. Martinvillo penalty gave Breaux Bridge another chance and Blanchard burst across for the seventh point. Early in the second period, Theriot broke free on a 78-yard sprint before being caught from, behind by Glynn Thibodeaux on the St.

Martinville nine. But St. Martin-villcs defense braced and stopped Breaux Bridge on the one-yard line.
