LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 23-lt must have been, truly the biggest Saturday that old Little Rock ever saw. There was a circus in town. Sohja Henie, fortyish but trim, was ice-skating at the local coliseum and, a Metropolitan Opera tenor was high, noting at the auditorium.

A state checker tournament had the sages watching closely at a downtown hotel. Added to all of this an upset victory over Ole Miss for the Razor-backs of Bowden Wyatt. And the cup was running way over, spilling out in one of those monster foothill celebrations that keep the alumni coming back. capital of the State of Arkansas was a happy town Saturday night A proud town, too, and well it might have been. Wyatt's boys have done a conaiderable number of things no one dreamed of when the experts were picking the Razor-backs for the Southwest Conference cellar back in September before the speculation gave way to the real thing.

Arkansas, believe me, has quite a football team a Ten-nessee-iooking football team that Wyatt has taught a lot of the things that Bob Neyland taught him.

By special permission of the SEC, the game counted as a conference contest for the Rebs. Fullback Paige Cothren was the top yardage man for the losers. He gained 71 yards on 10 carries. Bill Kinnard gained 48 on nine, McCool 44 on 14, Muirhead 29 on eight Benson ran 11 times for 46 as the Arkansas leader, and Wilson hauled eight times for 43 of the 125 that the Razorbacks dug out of the ground.

Early in the fourth, Joe Bill Wilson, a super-charged 184-pound fullback, int pted a pass from Eagle Day at the Arkansas 45 and ran it back to the Reb 30. Wilson and Benson alternated in whacking the ball to the 15 but lost it on downs there. That had been the offensive story until the Razorbacks set forth from their 17 with less than six minutes to play. Theyd been kicked back to this point, and the possibility of a scoreless draw was beginning to look large.

But Benson ran three, Wilson four and a Benson-to-Carpenter short throw made first down on the 30 five minutes remained to play. Wilson smote right tackle for five, Benson lost one at right end and the clock showed four minutes. Benson swung wide to the left on third down, faked his run and drifted back deep. There was Carpenter, whod been an up-close target a moment before, down the sideline and clear. Benson popped him One last chance ALLEN MUIRHEAD gave the Mississippians one last chance to cheer when he brought the kickoff up from his 12 to the 48.

He was all but gone. But on the next play Slick McCool fumbled and Tackle Dick Hardwick recovered for Arkansas, with two minutes, 50 seconds to go. Carrying the battle all the way, the Rebs forced a final Arkansas punt on fourth down; but when Muirhead dropped it at the 30 and Wingback Joe Thomason claimed for Arkansas, the show was over. Two thrusts at the middle killed the clock, and the widly jubilant Razorback throng dashed to the field to acclaim their heroes for another sur- prising win, another big one. It was unbeaten Arkansas' fifth straight.

Witness the Razorbacks. The play that won the game, a 66-yard pass from Tailback Buddy Benson to blocking Back Preston Carpenter, was right out of the Tennessee book, too, by way of Vanderbilt. Its a play that Red Sanders learned from Dan McGugin passed on to Neyland and thence "Wyatt and, finally, Arkansas. Carpenter earlier had taken two short passes in the flat.

This time Benson swept out wide, as if to go around the end. Carpenter headed into the flat again But as Benson stopped to fade back, his blocking back turned and sped down field He was well back of a flat-footed defense when be caught his winning touchdown. It was, of course, a great disappointment to the Mississippi rwd. Johnny Cain, who suffered on the telephone upstairs while the Rebels were failing down below summed it up: I didnt think we lose like tlh 3t.j The assumption was that Coach Cain didnt think the Rebels performance up to Rebel par. And it might not have been.

But Arkansas, as has been pointed out before, is not Villanova, or North Texas Teachers or Tulane. Sugar Bowl people were here to watch the Mississippians. Cotton Bowl people were here, too. But only to see the ball game, Sugar Bowl Head Man Fred Digby insisted. The Rebel bowl dream suffered a tremendous setback with this defeat and their conference championship hopes, too, with the Arkansas game a counting game.

But with LSU, Memphis State, Houston and Mississippi State, ahead Johnny Vaughts fine team coukd make it in with only the one defeat, and certainly, there was no disgrace in losing here. Somebody said it before. But itll stand saying again. These are days when anybody might beat anybody in the game of football. And thats exactly as it should be.

Id never seen him before we signed liim last Summer, Leo says, and I didnt know how much the club gave for him. Some said it was $40,000, some said $60,000. Finally I learned that it was $80,000.

Ive got to look at this guy, I told myself. Thats a lot of dough. I watched him throw. He didnt look very fast and had a little nickel curve. Wow! I said.

What are we going to have around here a football team? THEN I GOT A CHANCE to use him in an exhibition against the Red Sox. He pitched six innings and Ted Williams told me afterwards that This guy can really fire. Giel showed me plenty. He was twice as fast in the game as he was on the sidelines. He showed me that he was a real competitor one of those guys who give out when the bell rings.

ENJOY THE SMART NUNN-BUSH LOOK! STYLES START AT 95 Saxton without BY JIMMY CANNON PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23 (NANA) The Broadway wise guys are metropolitan0' hicks who duck work and hang out in the delicatessens and chophouses where the sporting mob congregates. They nurse a cup of coffee and a piece of Danish pastry from midnight until the joint closes and then they stiff the waiter. But theyre full of big-mouthed guff aboutany propostion a bookmaker will handle. They had the Johnny Saxton-Kid Gavilan fight pegged for a swindle.

Blinky Palermos got Saxon, explained the creeps, and what else you need? Aint Blinky mobbed-up with initials, guys so big they dont use their last names, just initials. All Saxton had to do was stay alive for 15 rounds and hed be the welterweight champion. Tap out, fchq wise guys touted, and get yourself Miami money. And to make it better, who showed up in Philty the other night but Frankie Car bo? One nod from Carbo, they said, just one nod. SO TODAY Saxton is the welterweight champion of the world.

He took the boring fight because he beat Gavilan. He didnt need any help from anyone. I had Saxton winning eight rounds to six and 1 had to call one even. The ushers worked harder than the pair of them. You know how reformers zing me fight racket and claim its strictly a sport for the depraved.

I put in with them in a lot of spots. Ive seen too many kids with disfigured faces. Ive hung around hospitals waiting for a couple of them to die. Ive talked to their old ladies at the wakes. I know a few went crazy from the lickings But in this fight there were two of the best-behaved fellows boring from anyone you ever met.

If Muggsy Taylor, who promoted the show, knew what would happen, he could have straightened the fight racket out with the knockers. Just get them seats and defy them to tell what was cruel or barbaric about this fight for the worlds welterweight championship. They were sure nice to each other for eight rounds. You wouldn't believe it. Right in front of me a radio announcer was burbling hysterically about what was happening.

Nothing was happening but the shill was hamming it up like they were killing each other. I dont know how it looked on television, but from the second row of the working-press section it was the riiildest championship fight since Maxie Rosenbloom became a member of Actors Equity. Phoenix fighters buzz-saw to draw PHOENIX, Oct. 23 -(JP) Jimmy Martinez and Pedro Gonzales wind-milled to a 10-round draw Saturday night in one of the best middleweight fights seen here in several years. Martinez weighed 156, Gonzales 160.

From the opening bell when Martinez, Arizona middleweight champion from Glendale, bounced out of his corner slugging till the final bell they must have thrown a million punches. Gonzales is from Rankin, Pa. Twice during the furious action, the two became so involved with each other they failed to hear the bell. Handlers had to vauiii into the ring to stop the action.
