Ticket stub from the Army vs. Navy football game scheduled to played at Philadelphia Stadium on November 30, 1963, 4.5 x 3.5, which was delayed for a week and played on December 7th after the assassination of JFK. As Commander-in-Chief, President Kennedy was supposed to attend the game and perform the coin toss at midfield, then watch one half of the game from each sideline. The game was postponed after the assassination, but Mrs. Kennedy gave her blessing for the game to be played on December 7th, saying she felt that it would be JFK's wishes for the game to be carried on. As President Kennedy was a World War II naval hero, his allegiance undoubtedly would have been with Navy. Led by Heisman winner Roger Staubach, Navy would go on to win 21-15. In very good condition.
