Annapolis, Md, Dec. 3-An Incl
dent in connection with the army
navy football game in New York,
Saturday, is being investigated by
naval academy authorities. Just be-
fore the game started, Nichols, navy
quarterback, was handed telegram
which said his father was seriously
i'll, and requested him to start imme-
diately for home. The initials were
not those of Midshipman Nichols.
The telegram was dated Baltimore,
while Nichols family live in Spar
tansburg, S. c. Although Nichols
discredited the telegram, he fell
some anxiety until he learned his
father was in good health.
If the telegram was the work Of
some one who wished to weaken the
navy team as has been suggested,
Nichol S naturally would have beer
selected, as upon him devolved the
selection of navy's plays.
