The Army Navy football game will
be played on the grounds of the
Naval Academy at Annapolis De-
cember 2.
Secretary of the Navy Forrestal,
announcing this today, added that
attendance will be strictly limited. !"
Tickets will be sold only to residents
of Annapolis and the area within
10 miles of that city.
All of the colorful ceremonies and
parades ordinarily associated with
the annual service classic will be
omitted.
These limitations have been i'm
posed in accordance with the war
time necessity for economy" Mr..
Forrestal said. "A principal consid-
Grafton was the desire to avoid any
unnecessary burden upon transpor-
tation facilities and to discourage
nonessential use of gasoline and
tires"
The conditions under which the
game will be played correspond to
those IN effect last year. when the
Army and Navy met at West Point.
