...blood. The Middies had trounced the Cadets four straight years-and they were eleven-point favorites to make it five. To rub it in, Navy's gold uniforms had "Drive for Five" lettered on the back. Navy was the nation's No. 2 team. Quarterback Roger Staubach was the most talked about player in college football. Army's quarterback was a converted halfback, Rollie Stichweh, and most of the 102,000 fans in Philadelphia Stadium could not even pronounce his name (it rhymes with which...

Army scored the first time it had the ball, Quarterback Stichweh slicing over from the ten after driving his team 65 yds. in eleven plays.

Says Coach Buddy Parker of the Pittsburgh Steelers: "For his position, the best college player I've ever seen." The "book" on Roger: "Very accurate, shifty, strong, great peripheral vision, unmatched at hitting secondary receivers. A perfect...
...Texas gets past A. & M. and wins the paper championship, it will still have to prove its right to the title Jan. 1 in the Cotton Bowl, perhaps against No. 2-ranked Navy and brilliant Quarterback Roger Staubach. And that could be the game of this or any year-defense v. offense, running v. passing, Royal's thundering herd v. the Middies' one-man gang...
