  Houston Earns Upset Over Arkansas, 1T FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Sept. 81. Houston University’s Cougars registered their first football VIC tory over a Southwest Conference team today-a richly deserved 17–⁠7 upset of the Arkansas Razor backs. The Cougars outcharged and outsmarted sluggish Arkansas all the way. A shoulder injury put Arkansas All-Southwest Conference quarter back, Lamar McHan. on the side lines in the first four minutes, and the Razorbacks never were able to gain consistently. They got their lone touchdown on a 61-yard pass from Bob st. Pierre to Lewis Carpenter. S. M. Meeks. 160-pound sophomore, led a crew of knitting Cougar backs who ripped the Arkansas line for consistent gains. He carried 18 times for 90 yards and one touchdown. Houston ~ 8 O z 7–⁠17 Houston scoring: Touchdowns--Meeks, Battles Covensions-Howton (2). Field goal Arkansas scoring: Touchdown-Carpenter. Conversion-Mazza.
