top-ranked Longhorns a 15-14 victory over second-ranked Arkansas -It was Street who rallied Texas from a 14-0 deficit in the fourth period It was Street who scored the first touchdown and the two-point conversion And itwas Street who completed a door-die fourth-down pass that kept a Texas drive going for the winning touchdown The first key offensive play for the Longhorns came on a busted play early in the fourth period Street faded to pass but find a receiver so he ran 42 yards for the touchdown "We were looking for a crumb at that said an elated Coach Darrell Royal Street got more He

winning touchdown The crucial play came on a fourth down-and-three attempt at the Texas 43 with about five minutes remaining "I never considered Royal said just play a The hunch was a good one thanks to the catch by Peschel "I looked back over my shoulder and thought the pass was going to be over my Peschel said "I lowered my head and kept running and looked up and there it was not very fast and

Defense -UPt TWtpMi The Longhorn offense had a lot of time during the afternoon to watch from the sidelines and "stay because Arkansas spent most of the day with the football It took a pair of great defensive plays by the Longhorns to give the Texas offense a chance to catch the victory Halfback Danny Lester made the first clutch play by Intercepting an Arkansas pass in the Texas end zone when the Longhorns were trailing 14-8 Then it was halfback Tom Campbell who picked off another Arkansas pass at tiie Texas 39 with time running out "I was kinda out of position but it was the only time I
