GRID OFFICIALS MEET TUCSON, Ariz. A list of about 40 men eligible to officiate at Border Conference ftotball games and a manual for their use was presented to group of 30 officials and coaches Saturday night by Dr.

Enul Larson, conference commissioner. VI Coaches and athletic officials of the six conference schools will meet again Sunday to discuss gridiron problem rrespects "With the Arkansas Rasorbacks fiif lict m1 hr the "erDertf" as the real dark horse of the South west Conference 1939 grid race ana the team to beat for the championship, we turn this column over to an article sent out by the universiij ef Arkansas news bureau. Th 1838 Arkansas team which won two cames, lost seven, and tied one was composed chiefly of aonhomores and hiniors. Three of the 1938 defeats by Baylor, Rice and Texas A. anad were Incur red in the final minute of play, two of them by last minute field goals.

However, the Inexperienced 1938 Razorbacks swamped Texas by a record 42 8 score, were the only team to score two touchdowns gainst the champion T. U. Horned Frogs, and were the first team to score a touchdown on the ground against Santa Clara in two years. With sack a fine shewing by last year's. eephemere Junier.

aggregation, Arkansas supporters feel that the 1939 edition of the Rasorbacks should be a greatly Improved outfit. It will boast a trio of veteran ends In Hickey, Freiberger and Britt; the Seathwest's leading punter la Kay Eakln; two linemen ef all conference calibre In Simington and Mays; and a great blocker and line backer la Ray Cole. Furthermore, the starting lineup will bare a letter naa at every position except center. The most serious loss from the 1938 team was the graduation of Lloyd WoodelL a center hose only superior in the Southwest was the great Ki Aldiich of T. U.

Woodell was captain of last year's team, an inspiring leader, and a 60 minute man in every game but one To replace him is one of Coach Thorn sen's hardest jobs. If either Daryl Catofa sophomore, or Zeylon Holly, 1938 reserve, produce as expected, the Razorbacks will have a tine that ahould hold its own with the best In addition to Woodell, the Razor backs lost four backs, two tackles and a guard from the 1938 team. Among the backs who have played their last game for Arkansas is Neil Martin, who was up among the leaders in punting and passing last season. Other backs who have graduated are Marion Fletcher, F. Larfmore, and Frank Mosley.

Stalling and Stout, tackles, and W. B. Owen, guard, complete the of losses from last years eleven. Altbeogh the Rat or backs nave long been known for their flashy forward passing game. It Is believed the 1939 outfit will have a tnre varied attack.

There are plenty of backs who can tote the ball Including the veterans, Eakln, At wood, Lyon and Scalet. AU fear of these boys are passers as well aa ball carriers. Leading tine plungers are co Captain Cole and Jay Lawfaen. a sophomore. The Bator barks will be well fortified In the kicking department, with Eakln, Lyon and Mitchell to do the panting.

The forward pass has paid excellent dividends to the Razorbacks In the past Robbins and Sloan, passers, and Benton and Hamilton, ends, gained tremendous yardage by means of passes in "35, 76 and 37. Last tear, however, the Razorbacks felt the loss of these passers and receivers keenly and the 1938 passing attack did not reach the efficiency of the championship 36 eleven or the 37 team. Last year Arkansas had 33 passes intercepted in 10 games, many of which were turned into scores by the opposition. Coach, Thomsen has always adapted the style of play to the material. Consequently, with a powerful line averaging 218 pounds from end to end, and with a flock of speedy ball carriers in the backfield.

it is probable that the famed Arkansas aerial attack of recent years will be subordinated to the ground game. Ttie all veteran starting Ikie will probably have Hickey (205) anad Britt 202 at the ends, Mays (209) and Singer 2311 at the tackles, Simington (223) and Thorpe 1208 at the guards, and Holly t202) at center. Starting backs will probably be co Captains Eskin and Cole, Scalet and Atwood. Jack Field To Enter Schreiner Institute I MISSION Jack Field, cie of Mission's outstanding athletes, left Wednesday for Kerrville, where he will enter the freshman class of Shreiner Institute and be a candidate for the Mountaineers football team.
