Page 5
Head football Coach and Athletic
Director, Paul (Bear) Bryant,
came to A&M from Kentucky in
1954, to nui-se the ailing Aggies
through one of the hardest fought
seasons known.
Bryant, one of the most success
ful coaches in the business, was
lauded nationally for his coaching
job here last year. His “thin 33”
turned out all the fighting ability
they had but managed to win only
one game but of 10.
Highlight of his career was de
feating the powerful University of
Oklahoma, national champs of
1950, in the 1951 Sugar Bowl game,
ending the nation’s longest win
ning streak.

Oklahoma all-American end,
coaches the tackles.
Owens entered Kentucky as as
sistant to Bryant after playing a
year of pro ball with Baltimore.
He participated in two Sugar Bowl
games, one Gator Bowl contest, the
College All-Star game and the Sen
ior Bowl.
He is married and has one
daughter.
Phil Cutchin, a 1943 graduate of
Kentucky, works with the Aggie
backfield. His final year of eli
gibility at Kentucky was played in
1946, after service in World War
II.
He served as assistant at Ohir
Wesleyan from 1947 until his recall
into the service in 1950. He is
married and has one daughter.
Jerry Claiborne was an outstand
ing safetyman and end during four
years’ varsity experience at Ken
tucky under Bryant. He works
with the Aggie ends.
He was assistant coach at Ken
tucky two seasons. He helped

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for' the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
•survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
