Arkansas star Harry Jones key in Razorbacks bid vs LSU
Dallas UPI reports All conference substitute Harry Jones, nicknamed The Hare, anchored Arkansas as they chase the nation’s longest win streak against LSU in the Cotton Bowl. The Enid Oklahoma junior, versatile at wingback and back, tallied 632 rushing yards, 297 receiving yards, three kickoff returns, and two interception TDs, showing why he was a first team SWC pick despite limited starts. Jones moved from defensive back to offense after spring, stepping in when Jim Lindsey was hurt, and helped Arkansas’ 1965 team project as 10-point favorites over LSU New Year’s Day.
