Catholic Holds Off Late Rally
The 1936 Orange Bowl featured out-of-state schools Catholic University and the University of Mississippi, with Catholic prevailing 20-19.
The Cardinals jumped out to a 13-0 lead before Ole Miss' Ned Peters broke free on a 67-yard touchdown run, the first long touchdown in the Orange Bowl. Catholic safety Paul Rydewski scampered 24 yards with a blocked punt to give the Cardinals a 20-6 lead going into the final quarter.
The Rebels recorded two fourth-quarter touchdowns, but a missed extra point kept them one point shy.
With Bill Munday of CBS handling the play-by-play, the game was the first Orange Bowl to be broadcast on radio. Legendary sports writer Grantland Rice was also in the press box.
