...offer a few suggestions along these lines? Why can't we give our opponents a regular cheer as they come on the field? Two weeks ago we did not give any cheer for Holy Cross before game time, and Saturday we were slow in sending across a "regular Harvard" for Indiana. We are the home crowd and as such I believe we ought to welcome our opponents with a whole-hearted cheer, no matter whether they come on the field before or after our varsity...
Another incident occurred two weeks ago which prompts me to the next suggestion. One of our own backs was injured and forced to leave the game. The opposing stands gave a short snappy cheer for him. When any of their men were compelled to leave the field because of injury we did not cheer them. The remedy for this falling is simple and will do much to increase the amity between the contending institutions.

As a result of all his the support given the team was at once spontaneous and organized...
...state what everyone knows? Because no more convincing argument could be found than Saturday's cheering to prove that we are not in need of and do not want "professional cheer leaders." We said in our last issue that Saturday would be a test of the custom of having the captains of the major sport teams act as cheer leaders. There can be little question now, we believe, that the tradition is a sound one; and infinitely to be preferred to the proposal of having competitions for leaders of the contortionist style...
