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. ■P" I V i '< ’■ • « sa£f , * I rl i NEW ORLEANS—Saint QB Archie Manning (8) back to pass in the second quarter, feels the pressure of Atlanta defensive end Claude Humphrey (87) prepares to unload a pass that Bobby Jones 9 funeral held today in Atlanta 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.

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. — Griffin Daily News Monday, Dec. 20,1971 Page 9 r DRY CLEANING | SPECIAL Il WOODWARD CLEANERS |l COLLEGE AT BTH STREET GRIFFIN LAUNDRY 210 EAST SOLOMON STREET MON. - TUES. - WED., Dec. 20-21-22 ; 2 Ladies’ or Men’s (F QQ 2-pc.
