Faubus cites telecast questions for Arkansas Texas clash
Gov. Orval Faubus suggested arrangements should be made to televise the Arkansas Texas football game on October 19 but said he would not lead Arkansas officials in urging telecast. He noted the university’s stance on radio broadcasts and discussed ticket distribution protests by University of Arkansas students. He pointed to expanding Razorback Stadium and cited War Memorial Stadium seating limits, with the Texas game already sold out and ticket allocation remaining university’s responsibility until more seats exist.
