Until that dazzling barrage of passes, with a seven-yard touch Gown sprint by Bob Saggau tackled on the end, it appeared that the Middies were going to do what Army came so near doing a week ago. They had come from behind mid way in the final quarter to take a 7 to 6 lead on 30-yard touchdown sprint by Wes Gebert, followed by a successful conversion by Bob Leonard. and the nearly $500 blue coated Midshipment banked in the West stand went wild.
