Indians Come From Behind to Defeat
Vandals to Cinch 18-A Championship
BY GEORGE GOLDEY
VAN—A capacity crowd of about
6,000 spectators jammed Vandal
Memorial, Stadium last Friday aft-
ernoon to witness the 20th annual
Armistice Day football classic be-
tween the Vandals and the Grand
Saline Indians.
The Indians defeated the Vandals
20 to 7.
The Vandals won the toss and
elected to kick off to the Indians.
Randall Rowan tried an onside kick
but tVi Iridians covered on their
'line.
ne Sullivan, Indian fullback,
the ball through the middle
a one-yard gain. Gene Long
led through the center
another yard. Bobby Lawrence
npted a pass but was incom-
, making it 4th down and 8
rds to go on the 48. Sullivan
anted down to the Vandal 20 yard
where it was picked up by
old Wright, Vandal back, and
returned to the 25-yard line.
Fools Indians
r Bobby Manning quick-kicked the
ball down to the Indian 20 yard
line over Safety Chubby Spears
who fumbled trying to pick up ball,
and a Vandal recovered.
Bennie Thompson, Vandal back,
hit the right side of the Grand
Saline line for a gain of three yards
Wright carried over his own left
tackle down to the 9-yard stripe
and a Vandal first down. Thomp-
son carried the ball on the next
“C L A Y” in honor of their foot-
ball coach Erwip. JH. Clay. Grand
Saline Mayor Persons proclaimed
Nov. 11 as “Clay Day.” Next, the
Indian band formed the half-time
score, 7-7, and then followed with
the forming of last years score,
44 to 6, which was won by the
Vandals.
Bands Make Big Hit
The Van band formed a huge
“M” and saluted the United States
Marine Corps with the playing of
the “Marine Hymn.” From this
formation they broke and formed
a large anchor and played “An-
chors Away” in salute of the US
Navy. Then they went into a forma-
tion of a huge airplane in salute
to the Army Air Corps. Small boys
on the field started the propellers
(batons) spinning while the trom-
bone section of the band gave out
with the sound effects of the mo-
tors starting while the band played
the Army Air Corps song. For
their final formation the band
formed a large Indian teepee while
the majorettes and cheerleaders
dressed in colorful Indian regalia
did an Indian war dance at the
teepee entrance. Credit for this
dance goes to Bill Miller who as-
sists Miss Gaymerle Clayton with
the Vandal Pep Squad.
At the opening of the third quart-
er the Indians kicked off to the
going over for the first of his two touchdowns last Friday afternoon against wre^off^sE ind’ P™-
the Van Vandals. It was the Indians second touchdown of the afternoon in a!®lized five yftrds had to Wck
off again. This time it was taken
by Halfback Jimmy Douglas on
the 25 yard line and raced up the
sidelines to the 45-yard line before
He was stopped.
Sullivan intercepted a Vandal
yass on the 45 and raced down to
(the Van 5 before he was finally
[hauled down by the Vandals. On the

rlay, Sullivan circled wide outside
his own left tackle and broke loose
in the clear and went 67 yards to
the double stripe, bringing the score
20 to 7. Sullivan’s try for conver-
sion was wide.
The game ended with the Vandals
in possession of the ball down on
the Indian 2 just shy of a TD.
In the 20 year series, which
started back in 1930, the Vandals
hold the lead with 13 wins and five
losses while the games in 1930 and
1940 were scoreless. The Vandals
have scored a total of 402 point;
