Honor Code

Navy 21. Army 17 (1963)
Municipal Stadium, Philadelphia, PA

"But there's no doubt he was a Navy man. Our game was really almost like a memorial service to the President who loved football. I mean, if he didn't love football or if he hadn't been to the Army-Navy games, I think it would have been handled differently. I don't think there would have been a game actually. Really, we felt that all of a sudden it became an important part of the healing process for the family."

- 1963 Heisman Trophy Winner Roger Staubach talking about the Navy-Army game after President Kennedy's assassination.
