Earliest Memory of PNG Football and a Great One too

My dad had attended a small high school in East Texas that did not have a football team so he had never seen a football game. In 1953 PN (no G back then) was playing in the playoffs at Indian Stadium. Daddy took me to the game and I sat on his shoulders as we stood outside the fence around the field. There weren't any seats to be had. I don't remember who the other team was that we were playing but we watched those "Flying Frenchmen" Gordon LeBeouf and Bobby LaBorde run rampant thru their defense. I became a part of the Indian Nation that night and couldn't imagine attending school any place else, married an Indian halfback and had two sons who were Indian athletes. Gordon passed away yesterday but his record still stands although Caleb Harmon sure made a good run at it this year.
