On November 11, 1935, 8000 hardy fans braved the rain to pack the Stadium Bowl for the second annual Armistice Day gridiron battle between Northwest Navy and Army teams. The spectators protected themselves from the elements with umbrellas, while the pictured sailors were covered with slickers. Stadium High School loomed in the background over the stadium. The playing field for the game was a muddy mass of slime due to the cold rain that fell most of the day. The charity match was preceded by a military pageant, celebrating the end 17 years prior of the first World War. The game itself was a thriller where a forward pass in the closing minutes of the game gave Navy a 6-2 victory over Army. (T. Times 11/11/1935, pg. 1; T.

Armistice Day Army & Navy football game and pageant at the Stadium Bowl. Tacoma Mayor George Smitley stands between Rear Admiral T.T. Craven and Brig. General C.H. Conrad, Jr. The event was planned in celebration of the anniversary of Armistice Day; the date 17 years prior when most of the world laid down their arms following World War I. The Armistice Day celebration featured a patriotic pageant presented around a colorful Northwest Army vs. Navy football game. Over 8,000 people turned out to see the game, despite rainy conditions and a field that looked like a sea of mud. The ceremony opened with taps in honor of the war dead, followed by a crack drill unit of 500 featured soldiers, sailors and marines accompanied by the 10th Field Artillery Band. The ceremony ended with a 21 gun salute. Navy triumphed over Army in the football game, 6 to 2. The army team arrived from Fort Lewis by motorized transport; but the Navy arrived from Bremerton on the ferry Kalakala with a cannon mounted on her deck for the 21 gun salute.

Soldiers, sailors, and marines from Fort Lewis and Bremerton faced off against each other in Tacoma's Stadium Bowl for a charity Army-Navy football game on Armistice Day, November 11,1935. Taps for the war dead preceded the gridiron conflict, and a 21-gun salute closed the event. Although a cold rain fell throughout the day, dampening the enthusiasm of the crowd and turning the field into a sea of mud, the Fort Lewis men put up a valiant struggle against the Navy team. In the end, neither team had much to show for their time or effort. The final score was Navy 6, Army 2. (T.Times 11/12/1935)

Football players lined up for the kickoff during the November 11, 1935 Armistice Day charity game at the Stadium Bowl, pitting the Army against the Navy. The teams had trained diligently for weeks for this big event, the second annual of its kind locally. Many were experienced athletes who had played for West Point and Annapolis. The stands were packed with 8,000 soldiers, sailors and local fans, who sat in the cold and rain to watch the game. Hours of rain had turned the field into a sea of mud and slime through which both teams toiled valiantly. Navy won this contest 6-2 with a forward pass from Coombs to Singleterry in the game's closing minutes. For Bremerton Sun.
