It seems that after all the games we’ve had lately, there
would be no doubt as to the number one team. However,
there still remains some question as to which team,
Texas or Ohio State, is Isaly the strongest. In the final
polls, the Buckeyes were rated first, Penn State second,
and Texas third. In our humble opinion, both Ohio State

TEXAS END TOUGH COOKIE
Split end Cotton Speyrer of Texas showed that he could
well be the most dangerous player of the New Year, as her
displayed sensational speed, good hands and balance for a
sophomore. On his second 79-yard bomb against the Vols, he
had a step on Tennessee’s All-American Jim Weather-
ford, and instead of losing the stride the youngster from
Port Arthur just turned it on and left Weatherford standing.
Although they don’t get much credit, the Longhorn offen-
sive line did a tremendous job of moving people out of the
way, and defensively Leo Brooks and Lloyd W ainscott are—
as good as they come.
The Sugar Bowl appeared to be a case of Georgia’s ob-
viously weak offense finally getting the best of a fine defense,
one that had carried the Bulldogs all year. Nevertheless,
it still took an outstanding effort by a rugged Arkansas club to
pull out a 16-2 win. - 5 w

DECISION TIME IN TWO
If the five bowl games proved nothing else, two of them
showed that there are still gamblers of sorts in the coaching
profession. In boththe Bluebonnet and Orange Bowls, a
decision had to be made in the last few seconds concerning
a point after kick for a tie or a two-pointer for a win.
Oklahoma went for two and missed, while Penn State got
a second chance and made it to win. It made one wonder what
some of the more “conservative" coaches, like Darrell
Royal and Ara Parseghian, might have done. -
