league play and they are back in contention for their third straight conference championship Quarterback John Britte-num resting and nursing a cut lip looked back over the week of preparation for the Longhorns and said "I was scared to death of this game didn't know what would happen after the loss to Baylor" What happened was Arkansas played one of its most irulsing games ever Texas did too and the 66000 at Memorial Stadium and the nation-wide television audience were treated to a day of strange football twists To begin with there were 13 fumbles more than Texas and Arkansas made together in a normal reason which this sn't Each team lost three fumbles but only two Texas at its 17 and at the Arkansas 35 led to any points Bob White kicked the field goals from the 12 and the 27 after the fumbles There wen Injuries and a lot of them on both aides Texas wingback Gregg Lott received a knee injury that probably will keep him out of action for the Longhorns' remaining five games Arkansas linebacker Lee Johnson also wrenched a knee and he might not play again this year Strangely enough one man who went into this game with a serious Injury and came out of it none the worse Texas quarterback Bill Bradley much praised 19-year-old sophomore played all but a few late downs with a heavily bandaged knee He directed the Steers 66 yards to their touchdown scored seconds before the half on a one-yard run by tailback Chris Gilbert Arkansas drove Into the lead once more on a 22-yard pass from Brittenum td end Tommy Burnett in the third quarter Martine 49-yard punt return set up the touchdown and it was scored one play later The Razorbacks ran for two points (the first time they have attempted a two-pointer since 1959) but missed Then they went to the defense to protect the five-point lead Gary Adams a sophomore in the Arkansas secondary stopped two Texas at tempta with interceptions in AP Wiropkoto Safety Pat Harkins although beaten by Burnett on tho touchdown play was another outstanding Texas defender Harkins recovered all the fumbles Arkansas lost Arkansas coach Frank Broyles was too elated with victory to aay anything more than "I'm Just thinking about the score and glad it's He gave Bradley a big pat: "I know Bradley was hampered but he played a great game You could tell he wasn't quite what he should be" Bradley hit on seven of 14 passes for 104 yards six
