1953 Duke vs. Army Artwork: Canvas

By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by Duke Blue Devils
One of the most dramatic football games in Army football history, as an open field tackle and goal line stand helped preserve a 14-13 Black Knights victory over the undefeated and seventh ranked Duke Blue Devils at the Polo Grounds in New York City on October 17, 1953. Head Coach Colonel Blaik called it “The game never to be forgotten”. It was perhaps Army’s Greatest Game. Army football team’s turnaround game in the turnaround season of 1953. In two grueling football seasons following the disastrous honor incident announced August 3, 1951, Army went 2-7 and 4-4-1, equaling the total losses under Coach Earl H. “Red” Blaik in his previous ten seasons. In the fourth game of the 1953 season, the unranked cadets, sporting a 2-1 record on the year, upset the number-seven-ranked, 4-0, Duke University Blue Devils, 14-13, in New York City’s Polo Grounds. Called by many sports writers “the college game of the year,” the victory set Army’s team and the Corps of Cadets afire, inspiring them to remain undefeated the remainder of a 7-1-1 season, and a return to the national rankings.
