Scope and content
On November 11, 1935, Mrs. Charles C. Soule (wife of Capt. Soule- Commanding officer of the USS New Mexico) held aloft a prized football signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The autographed ball was presented to the Navy team in honor of its victory in the second annual charity Northwest Army-Navy football game, held on Armistice Day at the Stadium Bowl. The game was a thriller where a forward pass in the closing minutes of the game gave Navy a 6-2 victory over Army. (Bremerton Sun 11/13/1935, pg. 1)
