By David Ginsburg Annapolis my. A the seniors on Navy a football team have a reputation to uphold and the Best Way to regain some much needed respect is to beat army. Navy a underclassmen have the Opportunity to rebound from this years disastrous wingless Campaign but there is no second Chance for the midshipmen whose eligibility ends after saturdays final gun at Philadelphia a veterans stadium. A a we re not losers Here at the Academy a insisted Sophomore running Back Brad Stramanak. A we need a winning spirit to go out and Lead people in Battles. If we win on saturday i think it will help the seniors a great  Navy 0-10 is on the Brink of the worst season in the 111-year history of the football program. The Only other Navy squad to go wingless in this Century was in 1948, when the midshipmen tied unbeaten army to finish with an 0-8-1 record. One win wont Salvage the season but at least it will give the seniors something to cherish in a year that most of them will never forget. Even if they can manage to Block it into the Back of their minds it is unlikely that they will be Able to avoid being reminded. A a it a got to rough coming Back for reunions and having people say a so you re the team that went 0-11,�?T�?� Stramanak said wednesday. A if you can say that you were 1-10 and beat army that at least has a better ring to  senior guard Michael Davis was in the Hospital with a shoulder injury the last time Navy beat army 19-17 in 1989. Davis Hasni to practice this week because of a sprained foot but he said nothing would keep him out of the lineup on saturday. A a in a going to play a he said. A when we beat them the last time i had mixed emotions because i really did no to have anything to do with the Victory. I want to be there and be a part of it this  after enduring 10 straight losses the last three by a combined 93 Points Davis knows that a Victory Over army 4-6 wont completely erase the misery of a season that began with lofty expectations. A this was just a total Shock to me. I thought we would go into the army game 10-0, not 0-10,�?� he said. A a win would be great but its not going to Salvage our season. Still it would give me something to look Back on and smile  Navy coach George Chaump has been a part of Only one army Navy clash but he a seen enough of them to know that the game is one of the biggest in College football a even if both teams have fallen in stature Over the past couple of decades. A a there a worldwide interest in this game a he said. A it May be the biggest rivalry in College football and i say that having been associated with Ohio state games against Michigan that meant the National championship. A emotionally i have a lot More feel for this game because i know what it Means to the whole United states Navy. I think this game represents the ideals of our country and touches the lives of everybody  the game will also have an effect on Chaump who has never before had a team that went through the entire season without a Victory. A this is maybe the biggest game in my life a he said. A the conditions being what they Are id say there san awful lot Riding on this  Chaumpi a Job is not in jeopardy. But no one likes to work year round at a Job without having anything show for it but a paycheck. A this is our last shot to avoid a wingless season Quot he said. A from a Pride standpoint this is a position in be never been  neither
