Over
100,000 spectators attended the 1926, Army/Navy Game at Soldier Field.
This game would decide the national championship, as Navy entered undefeated
and Army had lost only to Notre Dame. For once the game lived up to all
of the pre-game hoop-la, and even though the game ended in a 21-21 tie,
Navy was awarded the national championship. The championship plaque is
on display in a trophy case at Rickets Hall, at the Naval Academy. [127K;
