Setting

The game was similar to the meeting at the end of 1932, when the two squads tied, 0-0, in Shreveport. Centenary came in unbeaten at 8-0-3, tying three straight games to LSU, Texas, and TCU.[1] The team would disband after the 1941 season.[2] The Hogs entered at 7-3, with losses at LSU, Rice, and Tulsa. Arkansas would remain a Division I program, and achieve over 30 bowl games.

Game summary

The first quarter passed without scoring, before the Razorbacks lit up the scoreboard first, a Tom Murphy pass to Elvin Geiser, who then added the extra point. Centenary back Harold Olsin would haul in a pass from Manning Smith to cut the Hog lead to 7-6. The extra point by Chester Weidman was missed, which would've given Arkansas the win, but offside was called against the Razorbacks, and a retry resulted in a completed extra point. Arkansas would attempt a 14-yard field goal to win the game in the fourth quarter, but Geiser was wide right. The game ended in a tie.

gollark: Anyway, many of the bugs in potatOS come from stuff like the SPUDNET daemon not being subject to sandboxing, so people can fake events and stuff going to that in increasingly convoluted ways to make it execute code when it shouldn't.
gollark: It was used to provide sandboxed copies of potatOS for testing and stuff.
gollark: Or crane, my really, *really* broken sandboxingish thing.
gollark: Well, it sort of is, in that it complains lots if you try and delete SYSTEM32.
