Army Navy Grid Clash May Decide Rose Bowl Bid
The annual Army vs Navy game concludes the 191 season in Philadelphia with potential Rose Bowl selection for a service academy. If neither Army nor Navy lands the Rose Bowl slot, contenders include Minnesota, Michigan State, Rice in Bluebonnet, or UCLA in the New Year’s Day game. Alabama and Auburn loom near top of polls. Cotton, Sugar, Orange, and Gator Bowl bids hinge on results. The indoor Army Navy game in Atlantic City draws 12 200 fans at Convention Hall as a notable feature of the season wrap.
