Henry Frnka coaching his first

Frnka is doing his best to keep the
undefeated, united Hurricane, rated
sixth in the nation, from thinking
about bowl possibilities until after
the Arkansas game.
This Arkansas game" says
Frnka, "is going to be a very diff
cult one"
Tulsa's offense will be weakened
by the loss of Dewey Erickson. an
unsung, but splendid blocking back.
Erickson suffered dislocated shoul-
der in last Saturdays game against
Creighton. Reserve Fullback Dell
Taylor may be used to fill Erick-
sons position.
Frnkas fear of the Razorbacks
wasn't helped any by Arkansas de-

Because the game has been trans

but the contrasting khaki of the
