Connie Magouirk
Back of the Week
Hack of the Week
Connie Magouirk Selected
QB Club Back of
Connie Magouirk, Aggie half
back, scored a touchdown on a
jlazzling 23 yard run and caught
two passes for 31 yards to merit
the Quarterback club selection as
back of the week.
Besides his offensive show, Ma
gouirk was a defensive demon,
breaking up Baylor passes and
making tackles all over the field.
High tribute was paid Magouirk
by teammate Don Ellis immediate
ly after the game when Ellis called
Magouirk the outstanding Aggie
back of the game.
Magouirk posted a net gain of
20 yards in three carries for a 0.5
average and punted once for 35
yards.
He scored the first A&M touch
down from 23 yards out in a fine
display of broken field running.
Magouirk took a handoff from El
lis, cut over right tackle, was
brushed at the line of scrimmage
but hit hit the Baylor secondary
behind great blocking and sprinted
for the touchdown to score stand
ing up. *
Week
To set up the touchdown play
from the 23, Magouirk made a
beautiful catch of an Ellis pass
from the midfield marker on the
previous play.
Magouirk is a 190 pound senior
from New London, has earned two
varsity letters at the fullback slot,
but has played this season in the
halfback position.
QB Club to View Aggie-Bear Film
The A&M Quarterback club
will show the films of the Ag
gie - Baylor football game
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in. the
MSG Ballroom, Bob Boriskie,
club president, said.
All remaining films will be
shown either in the MSC Ball
room or Assembly room, Bor
iskie said, and announcements
on the location for each show
ing will be carried on the
Quarterback page.
After 26 games and 50 years of
football warfare, the Arkansas
Razorbacks and Aggies will be
still fighting for a series edge
when they meet in their Southwest
conference clash in Little Rock this
Saturday.
One of the oldest gridiron rival
ries in the Razorback record book,
the two teams enter their 27th
meeting with an all-even history of
12 wins each and two ties. It will
be the fourth appearance for the
Aggies in Arkansas’s capital city.
Though the margin of victory in
their past meetings has been de
cisive more often than not, the
series takes on a ■ peculiar aspect
when the success of the two teams
in league play is considered.
Both charter members of the
SWC, the Cadets are second only to
Texas in the number of conference
championships won, while Ark
ansas ranks last. Yet, Arkansas is
the only school, outside of the
Longhorns, with a respectable re
cord against the Farmers.
“Home soil” has apparently been
the difference in the past history
Lineman-of-the- Week
Bennie Sinclair
SW Conference
Top Receiver
End Bennie Sinclair, leading
pass-catcher in the Southwest con
ference is the Quarterback line
man of the week.
Sinclair snared five passes for
93 yards and one touchdown in
the Baylor game and put on a
bang-up defensive show. Bennie
has a season record of 14 catches
gpod for 218 yards, two touch
downs and an average of 15.6
yards per catch.
The six feet, 2, junior has a lot
of speed, enabling him to get
downfield and into the enemy sec
ondary fast. His fine opening
jump from the line of scrimmage
is another big factor on his side.
In A&M’s 87 yard fourth quar
ter touchdown drive, Bennie
caught passes for 17, 16 and 17
yards, the last one for the score.
Sinclair was on the receiving
end of a 31 yard pass play in the
third quarter that carried from the
Aggie 40 to the Baylor 29-yard
line.
His 25-yard run with a fourth
quarter pass interception , set up
the third touchdown in the 20-7
win over TCU. Sinclair’s play
sewed up the game for the Aggies
when it appeared that the Frogs
were going, to make trouble.
Bennie has run back two kick
offs for 28 yards this season. He
ably demonstrated his blocking
ability Saturday, throwing one of
the key blocks that broke Connje
Magouirk loose for his 23-yard
touchdown ramble.
“If we’d had five more minutes,
we would have won, said Sinclair
after the game. “We’d gone the
length of the field twice before
and could have done it again. . .
We’re not out of the race yet, and
I think we can still win the title.”

of the state-school series. Arkansas
has a 5-3-1 margin at Razorback
Stadium and a 2-1 edge in Little
Rock, their “neutral” site field.
The Cadets lead 7-5 — in College
Station and have won a single
game in Dallas, their “neutral”
corner.
The teams were all-even after
their first two games, a 6-0 win by
the Cadets in 1903 at College Sta
tion and a 5-0 victory for the Pork
ers in 1910 here. A field goal by
W. M. Guynes and a safety pro
duced the points in 1910.
The only Dallas appearance came
in their third game, in 1912, with
the Cadets taking a decisive 20-0
win. Though both became league
members three years later, it was
not until 1927 that they were to
first meet in a SWC game. Then,
with all-Conference star Joel Hunt
leading the way, the Aggies
smothered Arkansas, 40-6.
Except for a brief interruption
from 1931 through 1933, the two
teams have been keen conference
rivals every yera. In the pre-1931
games, Arkansas won three
straight contests, 27-12 in 1928;
14-13 in 1929; and 13-0 in 1930—
the first Little Rock game. The
star of the ’28 game was high-
scoring Garland “Bevo” Beavers
(who that year set an all-time
Razorback scoring record of 84
points) with two TD’s.

Every football team needs a leader with plenty of know-how and drive.
The same thing - applies to a city.
In Bryan, the City National Bank is the leader.
And it took plenty of “know-how and drive” to put the City National
Bank where it is today.
In past years, citizens have watched the City National grow and pro
gress. The result of this organization’s “know-how and drive” is the beau
tiful building you see at 24th & Main and the outstanding service you get
at the City National.
The City National Bank also has some extras you won’t find at most
banking concerns. It offers drive-in banking services—you don’t have to
leave your car. If you want to park and handle your business inside, the
City National offers you a large parking area in the rear of the building.
It provides room for 15 to 20 cars.
Outstanding service—the foundation on which the City National Bank
is built. That’s what you’ll find when you “Bank the City National Way.”
