Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Albert Leopold Mills

Subject(s): Committees, Football--Rules, United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy

Although President Roosevelt is glad that West Point has accepted the invitation to be a part of the new rules committee on football, he hopes that the new rules committee can be amalgamated with the “old rules committee,” because Annapolis is a member of that committee. Roosevelt strongly supports the preservation of football, and believes it is important that both West Point and Annapolis be a part of the same committee.
