Princeton, which upended another single-wing power, Pennsylvania, 13-7. Though Coach-of-the-Year Charlie Caldwell lost all but one of his undefeated 1950 offensive team, the one man remaining was the key man: Halfback Dick Kazmaier, All-America triple-threat.

Dick Reich kicked the extra point and Army led at 9:15 of the first quarter...
