Vols, Razorbacks
play Liberty tonight
By CHARLES S. ALDINGER
MEMPHIS, Tenn.
Ferguson and his Arkansas
Razorbacks meet Tennessee’s
gritty defense tonight in the
Liberty Bowl with prestige and
ered at the Atlanta 12 for New
Orleans.
The defenses also forced each
team to settle for a field goal*,
late in the first half.
Durkee’s 30-yarder with 4:03
left in the half ended a Saints
possession that lasted six
minutes. Bell kicked his 12-yard
field goal with 47 seconds
remaining in the half after
Atlanta marched 76 yards in 10
plays.
New Orleans had the edge in
first downs (20-14) and rushing
yardage ( while Atlanta
was more successful with the
pass (262 yards-135 yards).
a country ham at stake.
A capacity crowd of 50,100 is
expected to stuff into the
modern Liberty Bowl Stadium
for the nationally-televised
(ABC) kickoff at 9 p.m. EST.
Ninth-ranked Tennessee is a
shaky favorite.
It’s about the biggest thing
around here since Andy Jack
son called for volunteers to
fight the Indians and Governors
Dale Bumpers of Arkansas and
Winfield Dunn of Tennessee
have bet country hams on the
outcome.
The traditional girdiron po
wers, separated only by the
muddy Mississippi, have met
only once in their long history
and Tennessee came out on top,
14-2, way back in 1907.
Both Tennessee (0-2) and
Arkansas (8-2-1) will be slowed
by offensive injuries but quar
terback Ferguson is expected to
go at full speed despite an
aching right shoulder. He
completed 160 of 271 passes for
2,203 yards and 11 touchdowns
during the season, in which
fumbles and defensive lapses
caused the Hogs to fritter away
a trip to the Cotton Bowl.
Tennessee, with only a 10-9
loss to Auburn and a 32-15
drubbing by Alabama to mar
its record, came on strong as
the season waned and wound up
with a 31-11 rout of previously
unbeaten and Cotton Bowl
bound Penn State. Arkansas
humiliated Texas, the other
Cotton Bowl participant, 31-7
this year.
Tennessee running back Curt
Watson is expected to see
action despite cracked ribs
suffered in the last game of the
season. But the durability of his
ribs remains in question if he
takes a hard lick on a tackle.
The big problem for the
Arkansas offense of coach
Frank Broyles is the loss of
split end Mike Reppond with a
calcium deposit on his leg.
Reppond was the leading
catcher of Ferguson passes this
year with 56 for 987 yards and
three touchdowns.

ATLANTA (UPI) - Funeral
services for golfing immortal
Bobby Jones will be conducted
today by the priest who bap
tized Jones into the Roman
Catholic faith three days before
his death.
Jones, who captured golf’s
“Grand Slam” in 1930 by win

and amateur titles, died at his
Atlanta home Saturday after
battling for years a crippling
disease.
Msgr. John D. Stapleton of

Jones retired from tourna

After learning of the death of
their club president, the board
of governors of the Augusta,
Ga., National Golf Club voted
to make Jones “president in
perpetuity” so that he might
have the “distinction of being
the only president of the club.”
In 1948 he was stricken with
syringomyelia, a crippling dis
ease which eventually forced
him into a wheelchair and then
kept him bed-ridden. Immedi
ate cause of death was an
aneurism suffered last week.
Monsignor Stapleton baptized
Jones and administered the last
rites of the church at the same
time.
“He seemed so peaceful after
he was baptized. I think it gave
him a great deal of comfort,”
said Mrs. Jean Marshal, long
time personal secretary to
Jones.
