AA The Indians got their first dis- trict win when they defeated the Canton Eagles. David Carroll was the leading rusher with 91 yards. The Indian defense went like clockwork, working so well on pass defense that Canton's quarterback managed to put the ball in the air only twice. Defeating the Mabank Panthers gave the Indians a 2-O district record with their first out-of- town game of the season. The Panthers were ahead at halftime, 12-8. Doug Koonce intercepted two Panther passes, and the Indians scored two touchdowns. Mike Maciel ended all Mabank's hopes by intercepting the last pass with only 13 seconds left in the game. The final score was Indians 26, Panthers 24. VN.

Tribe Conquers Vandals The Van Vandals came to Per- son's Stadium adding to the 1975 Homecoming festivities. Although the Vandals had more total yards gained and fewer turnovers, the Tribe still came out on top, 13-12. The winning and final score of the game was an 18-yard pass to Chuck Lide from Lanier Richey. Losing to the Brownsboro Bears gave the Tribe a 3-1 district record. Nothing seemed to go right. The Tribe lost 6 out of 7 fumbles, and the Bears 6 out of 6. But they had 385 yards rushing to the Indians 130. Todd Humphrey made the only touchdown in the second quarter of the game against Wills Point. CY With the score tied 7-7, Iohn Thomas kicked an 18-yard field goal with 7 minutes left in the third quarter to give Grand Saline a 3-point victory. The Tribe outrushed the Tigers with 290 yards to the Tigers 94 yards. In order for the Indians to be number one in the district, Mabank had to beat Brownsboro and the Tribe had to beat Mala- koff. Mabank defeated Browns- boro, but the Indians had three fumbles which led to three touchdowns for Malakoff and a 38-21 defeat. John Thomas was chosen for the East Texas Honor Roll for the second time this season .
