Newly Appointed Song and Cheer Leaders Make Plans to Give Crimson Team Rousing Greeting in Season's Opener

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

When the Harvard team takes the field this afternoon, there will be no lack of volleyed thunder to meet them,

For the first time in many years the spectators at the opening game of the season will have organized singing, accompanied by the University Band.

Alden Briggs '25, tennis star and President of the Harvard Glee Club, has been chosen to lead the songs. If all goes well, the Band will appear on the field, unless their uniforms, ordered some time ago, fail to be delivered in time.

S. B. Kelley '25, Captain of the crew, will be Head cheer-leader. Other cheer-leaders will be Jefferson Fletcher '25, Clark Hodder '25, and J. E. Toulman '25. A new system of signals for cheers will be inaugurated this year, which will be explained on the field.

The following songs will be sung:

HARVARDIANA

With the Crimson in triumph flashing Mid the strains of victory,

Poor Eli's hopes we are dashing Into blue obscurity.

Resistless the team sweeps goalward Mid the fury of the blast;

We'll fight for the name of Harvard

"Til the last white line is past,

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!

GRIDIRON KING

Then hit the line for Harvard For Harvard wins today.

And we'll show the sons of Eli That the Crimson still holds sway,

Sweep down the field again, Victory or die;

And we'll give the grand old cheer boys, As the Harvard team goes by.

SOLDIERS FIELD

O'er the stands in flaming Crimson Harvard banners fly;

Cheer on cheer, like volleyed thnder, Echoes to the sky.

See the see Crimson tide is turning, Gaining more and more,

Then Fight, Fight, Fight, for we win tonight,

Old Harvard forever more.
