Army Finally Scuttles Navy - Army 11 - Navy 8
The Cadets come into Philadelphia looking for blood - Navy blood. The Midshipmen have come out on top in each of their last five meetings - but this year it's a different story as the West Pointers down the boys from Annapolis, 11 to 8 in a game that was a thriller. Wide shot the sports stadium and the people filling up the seats. Cadets and marching bands all lined up. The two teams of football players facing each other and the game is on. Army's quarterback Roger Staubach is taken down by the Navy. John Seymour running the football and he picks up 32 yards. Rollie Stichweh QB throws the football to Sam Champi and scores a touchdown, putting the West Pointers in the lead. Roger Staubach throws a football and it is caught by Tom Leiser and he is just inches away from the goal line, in the next play he carries the football over scoring a touchdown! Navy Cadets jumping up and down with joy. Staubach throws a pass and it is caught in the end zone by Phil Norton, and the score is tied up 8 to 8. You see all the white hats moving up and down. Stichweh throws to Tom Williams puts the ball just where the Army wants it. Barry Nickerson boots the football for a field goal and gives the Army the winning three point margin.
