Postponed by the assassination, the Army-Navy game draws 100,000 to Philadelphia. Before the game they play a silent tribute to the martyred President Kennedy. The underdog Army team almost pulls an upset as they threaten the Navy goal-line in the last seconds of play, but the clock runs out but not before there is 60 minutes of bang up, thrill-packed football. Philadelphia, PA Everything is at a stand still in the Philadelphia stadium because the fans are paying a silent tribute to the slain President Kennedy. OHS - The crowd and their very still. MLS - Navy and Army are on the football field. MS - Army carries the ball in for a touchdown, Army leads. MS - The Army cadets are cheering in the stands some are waving their hat in joy.

MS - Pat Donnelly scores for Navy in the second quarter and in the fourth it's Donnelly once more and Navy hold a 21 to 7 margin.
