The Army - Navy Game

The series has been discontinued a couple of times because of anger. Very soon after it began, President Grover Cleveland stopped it. It seems that following the game of 1893, a brigadier general and a rear admiral got into such a bitter argument about it that they challenged each other to a duel. There was no Army-Navy game for five years. - Dan Jenkins  

From the book Saturday's America. Now I want to know more of this story about the almost duel.
