Grilling Practice given Razorbacks

Coach Pickering seeks to Prepare His Team for Game with Hendrix

October 6, 1913

FAYETTEVILLE – The 23 Razorbacks who reported for practice today were put through a grueling scrimmage.

G. A. Vincenheller, star quarterback of the Arkansas team of 1899, took charge of the second team today. He will develop the offensive playing of the scrubs in order that the first team may get practice on defense.

Coach Headrick of Hendrix saw the Arkansas-Henderson game last Friday and no doubt will prepare for the Razorbacks’ attack. However, it is rumored that Coach E.T. Pickering has several surprises for the Conway bunch.

Dan Estes and E.M. Ratcliffe, both first team tackles, were out of practice today on account of injuries. Ford Dubs and Moore played their positions. A.A. Poff, fullback on last year’s eleven, who has been playing guard this year, was at fullback today. With a little practice he should get back in form. Harry Bryan, substitute guard on the 1912 team, reported from practice this afternoon. Coach Vincenheller played Hill at right guard. Night blackboard practice was started again tonight.

South Central League Team cleans up on Amateur Nine

August 19, 1912

STAMPS – The Texarkana team of the South Central League defeated Stamps here today (August 19) in a slow and uninteresting contest: Score 11 to 2.

Anderson started the game for Stamps, but was ineffective and was derricked in the third inning.

Moore went into the box and pitched good ball, being scored on only the seventh, when he went up in the air and allowed seven runs to be put over. Baber, on the mound for Texarkana, was hit freely by the locals, but tightened in the pinches. Miles and Hardy were leading batters of the day. Batteries for Texarkana were Baber and Buster; Stamps, Moore, Anderson and Rotten.
