Gene Rossides, 92, Dies; Led Columbia to Historic Upset of Army

The New York Times

Gene Rossides, a former Columbia University star quarterback who engineered one of college football’s most remarkable upsets, a 21-20 victory over Army in October 1947 that snapped the Cadets’ 32-game unbeaten streak, before pursuing a career in law and politics and serving in two presidential administrations, died on Saturday at his home in Washington. He was 92.
