The following telegram was received December 16, 1931 by the Naval Academy Graduates' Association of Boston, "Have wired Superintendent of the Naval Academy that the Graduates' Association of New York had nothing to do with the proselyting plan in connection with Naval Academy football players reported in this morning's papers as tacitly sanctioned by the Naval academy Graduates' Association. I suggest that you take similar action. Signed H. G. Smith, President."

Very truly yours,   Earl M. Major,   Secretary.   by direction
