Princeton Bets On Neutral Ground For Army Navy Big Game
Philadelphia reports a public release by William White, Penn athletic chairman, detailing correspondence with Navy Lieut Commander Halsey and Army Captain Pierce about moving the Army Navy football game to Princeton. The dispute centered on ticket distribution and proceeds for fallen service members, leading to the 1901 arrangement and ultimately the transfer of the game and the linchpin linings of Franklin Field. The academies pressed for more tickets and sideline badges, but Penn declined and the two sides split, with Princeton and its officers handling the move.
