The Midshipmen of Navy, unbeaten and heavily favored, entered Harvard stadium one October afternoon in 1941 and were about to be submarined by a Crimson guard of Massachusetts background. Endicott Peabody II, a 181-pound time bomb in the Harvard line nicknamed "Chub," unleashed a surprise attack that foiled the Midshipman attack at every corner. Peabody forced one fumble and recovered another, sinking a pair of Navy scoring threats. It was one of his finest games as the two teams battled bitterly to a scoreless tie. Harvard was only a slightly better than average team at 12-8-4 during Peabody's three-year career. Harvard was 5-2-1 during Peabody's final campaign, the best Crimson mark during his tenure, and he earned unanimous All-America laurels. Endicott Peabody was governor of Massachusetts 1963-65.
