The Army Navy game

The Army Navy game

The Army-Navy game back home holds everyone's attention (and everyone's bet money)
until an artillery barrage forces the camp to dispose of an unexploded shell.

The commander in chief will be joined by Vice President Joe Biden and Biden's
wife, Jill, at FedEx Field, the home of the Washington Redskins.

Sitting in the press box in Baltimore's Municipal Stadium, reporter Al Laney
wrote, "There never has been a sports event, perhaps never an event of any kind,
that received the attention of so many Americans in so many places around the world."

A short time later, Davis put an exclamation point on the game. Finding a sliver
of space, he broke through the Navy line, dodged past several defenders and outraced
everyone else for a euphoric 50-yard touchdown run. The 23-7 Army victory was Blaik's
first in the series.

After the game, the coach received a telegram from the Pacific: "The greatest of all
Army teams—STOP—We have stopped the war to celebrate your magnificent success."
