When the Middies stacked the middle, Stichweh scampered around end. From the Navy five, Stichweh rolled out to his right and launched himself into the air: six points. He rolled out again, this time to the left: a two-point conversion that made it 21-15; a touchdown would tie, an extra point would win-but first Army had to get the ball.

...face, ballyhooed as an "offbeat, low-pressure Wally Cox-Will Rogers type," was crewcut George Gobel (Sat. 10 p.m., NBC). Straining at a deadpan, Midwestern delivery ("Wai, I'll be a dirty bird"), Gobel was better at dialogue than monologue. The show's two sketches were unpretentious, underplayed and very funny...
