[edit] Dixie Classic

The Dixie Classic was the first bowl appearance in Arkansas Razorbacks history. Their opponent, Centenary, was undefeated in the regular season.[1] The game, played in Dallas, was the final Dixie Classic, a predecessor to the Cotton Bowl. The Razorbacks dented the scoreboard first, on a 24 yard hookup from Tom Murphy to Elvin Geiser in the second quarter.[1] The Gentlemen returned with a 20 yard touchdown pass, but missed the extra point to give Arkansas a 7-6 lead. However, a Razorback was called offside, the down was replayed, and Centenary's kicker Chester Weidman's kick was true.[1]

[edit] Overview

For the first time since 1919, a span of 18 years, Arkansas did not play LSU in Shreveport, Louisiana. Arkansas went 7-10 against the Tigers, losing the last seven contests. This would become a rivalry known as The Battle for the Golden Boot. The two adjacent states would not meet again until 1953.

[edit] Overview

The Razorbacks said goodbye to The Hill, an on-campus 300-seat stadium used since 1901, and replaced it with Bailey Stadium, known today as Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The stadium was first University Stadium, but was quickly changed to Bailey Stadium in honor of then-Arkansas governor Carl Bailey. The Hill was demolished and Mullins Library was placed on the old site.

However, the Hogs got only three opportunities to play in the new venue, and had to play away from Fayetteville seven times, including one cross-country trip to San Francisco, California. Arkansas' lone SWC win was a 42-6 rout of the Longhorns of Texas. The Razorbacks gave eventual national champions TCU a run for their money, however, and lost by a lone touchdown.[2] TCU would also bring home a Heisman Trophy, due to the outstanding play of Davey O'Brien at quarterback.[2] On the year, the Razorbacks had scored 128 points, with Hog opponents scoring 125.
