...suppose only those of us who were forced to sit at the end of the field Saturday could fully appreciate the great superiority of the Yale cheering, which must have much encouraged their team. This was partly due, no doubt, to the fact that their cheerers were better massed, but that alone does not explain it, for the volume of the Harvard cheer was greater than that from the opposite stand. The trouble was, I think, that our "Three long Harvards and three times three" is slow, drawling, and unenthusiastic. It typifies everything which Harvard is not, although fairly representing...
...hope our men will win the football game tomorrow. The team is one of the cleanest and fairest we have ever had. In manifesting our interest in the result, whether it be in our favor or against us, it will be well for undergraduates and graduates to remember that any disorder on Saturday night would be charged to the game and would, therefore, injure football and out door sports. The truest friendship to the team will be shown by refraining from the kind of "horse-play" which has sometimes followed the games of former years. IRA N. HOLLIS. Cambridge...

Let us rather wait until the end of the game, and then, if the result has justified it, let us break forth into fitting paeans of victory...
...game itself. In the first case, the noise is liable to interfere with the signals. Secondly, we hope to spend some time and effort in cheering, which is a far more spontaneous method of showing our sympathy or appreciation than by the help of illsung melodies. Also some of us wish to see the game; and this cannot best be done with but one eye on the gridiron, and the other on a song-sheet. Lastly, the assignment of seats by the management has rendered good uniform singing impossible, unless we include the "basso" of our fathers, and the "soprano...
Yesterday's parade of students to Soldiers Field and cheering the team was an undoubted success, but it seems to me there was one decided omission. The CRIMSON of yesterday contained copies of several songs written to be sung at this game, and most of us thought those songs were to be learned and sung at the practice. Copies were distributed to the men, but absolutely no effort was made to start singing. The men were ready and anxious, but the Glee Club for some unknown reason seemed indisposed to start things going by leading. The band has worked hard...
