Jeff Nutt, special correspondent of this column, whom we assigned to cover the Army-Navy football game for our readers, has sent us the follow- Ing message: “Dear Dud: I madea slight mistake in connection with the game. When I fot to West Point Saturday afternoon I found it was to be played at Frank- lin Field, Philadelphia. 1 am sorry it happened and promise you 1. won't fail to be on hand when the Army goat tackles the Navy mule next year, I and the girl had a good time up at the Point even though we did miss the game. We met the General who supervises the kitchen and he asked us to dine, I told him you'd get him two Uckets to some show, and he asked if you couldn't make it six, so he could take some ef the cooks along. Get him six in the fourth or fifth row to/ Ethel Barrymore's show some Satur- day night, please—you know the one I mean—'D Class A,’ or whatever it is. I've got @ good one on the wifa Sergeant, or some other titled officer, saluted a-soldier near us, and the wife, thinking he was saluting her, saluted back so hard she hit herself in the nose. When I laughed she told me about a $40 dress she needs, She's got @ lot .o learn about not spending money, but I guess I'm not the guy to wise her up. Speak to her some- time, will you? She likes you.—Jeff.” Gossip.
