Summary edit
| Description |
English: The Navy mascot. The Naval Academy has had a goat as its mascot since 1890 when, according to legend, on their march from the ferry station at highland falls up the steep hill to West Point to play the first Army-Navy football game the naval cadets (as they were then known) saw a goat outside the noncoms houses at West Point and promptly commandeered "Billy" for their mascot. Since that time the goat has remained as the recognized mascot of the U.S. Naval Academy. Presented by the Class of 1915, May 15, 1957. |
