ARKANSAS BOWL HISTORY
fourth-quarter aerial attack by Duke’s Don Altman and Tee Moorman dashed Arkansas’ hopes of a victory in the Cotton Bowl’s Silver Anniversary game. A Razorback triumph over Atlantic Coast Conference champion Duke was in sight throughout the contest, but in the end, the Blue Devils turned back Arkansas’ efforts to win the Dallas festival for the first time. The first half was a defensive standoff. Both teams were forced to punt after stalled drives. The Razorbacks threatened once in the closing minutes of the first half when Arkansas All-American Lance Alworth took a George McKinney pass to the Blue Devil 13-yard line. The threat was stalled by a penalty, and on the next play, McKinney’s pass was intercepted in the end zone. Midway through the third period, Alworth leaped high to catch a bad punt center snap. In full flight he kicked the ball down the sideline and out of bounds at the Duke two. Three plays later, Duke was forced to punt from its own end zone. Alworth took the kick on Duke’s 49-yard line and the fleet back zig-zagged to the goal for the score. Mickey Cissel’s PAT was blocked and the score was 6-0 Arkansas. In the fourth quarter, Duke’s air attack went to work and produced a 73-yard touchdown drive. Duke quarterback Altman hit his lonesome end, Moorman, for five short passes, the final being a nine-yard touchdown. Art Browning tacked on the go-ahead PAT and Duke won 7-6. Alworth, who had 74 yards tandem offense, returned two kickoffs for 50 yards and accounted for the lone Razorback score with his 49-yard punt return, was selected the outstanding back in the game.

sellout crowd of 45,104 packed the Gator Bowl to see Arkansas’ Frank Broyles make his bowl debut as head coach. And to add to the drama, Broyles was sending his team against his alma mater and his college coach, Bobby Dodd of Georgia Tech. A solid Razorback running game, led by All-American halfback Jim Mooty, snapped Dodd’s perfect bowl record with a 14-7 Arkansas victory. Tech ate up most of the first quarter with ball control as the Ramblin’ Wreck kept possession for the first 11:04 of the game. The drive ended with a missed field goal attempt at the Arkansas eight-yard line. On the second play from scrimmage following an Arkansas punt, Georgia Tech quarterback Marvin Tibbetts went to his left, found plenty of running room, and went 51 yards for the game’s first score. The Razorbacks took control in the second quarter. Mooty, Jim Monroe, Lance Alworth and Joe Paul Alberty pounded out 62 yards in 18 plays. Alberty climaxed the drive from the one for the score. Freddy Akers kicked the PAT and the game was 7-7 at the half. Midway in the third period, Mooty got the Hogs on the move again with a 24-yard scamper. Alworth added 23 yards in two plays and Mooty went the last 19 yards for the touchdown. Akers again converted and the Razorbacks had their first Broyles bowl victory, 14-7. Mooty was the game’s leading rusher with 99 yards in 18 carries. He also was selected the outstanding performer in the contest.
