Football Songs

Below is printed a list of old and new football songs, some of which will be used at the game today. Everyone is requested to take a copy to the game.

When the "Marseillaise" is sung at the game this afternoon, it is planned, as was done last year, to have certain men wave white handkerchiefs during the singing so that the effect will be that of a white "H" on a crimson background.

The right-hand upright of the "H" will be formed by men sitting in Section 33, rows O-R inclusive, W-DD inclusive, II and JJ, seats 9, 10, 11, and 12; and rows S-V inclusive, EE-HH inclusive, seats 6, 7, 8, and 9. The left-hand upright will be formed by men sitting in Section 32, rows O-R inclusive, W-DD inclusive, II and JJ, seats 10, 11, 12, and 13; and rows S-V inclusive, EE-HH inclusive, seats 8, 9, 10, and 11. The cross-piece will be formed by men sitting in Section 32, rows Y, Z, and AA, seats 14-21 inclusive; and Section 33, rows Y, Z, and AA., seats 1-8 inclusive.

The following diagram should make the arrangement clear.

ON TO VICTORY.

The cheers from the Harvard hosts ring high,

While the Crimson banner's streaming;

Lift the Crimson glory to the sky

Where the sunset red is gleaming.

And our hearts beat fast for old Harvard.

To her name shall her sons be ever true

Long live-her glorious fame!

Long live-her glorious fame! (Everybody up).

Then STAND, and RAISE your banners on high,

On! on-to victory!

Oh, Eli has brought a pup to fight

Today-today.

We'll tie him in his cage tonight,

Hooray-Hooray.

And when he watches the way we score

He never will bother us any more,

And we'll give a cheer when the puppy goes limping home.

And we'll give a cheer when the puppy goes limping home.

March! March! Onward to the goal,

As the line of the Blue gives way;

And then Fight! Fight! Yale will know tonight

That the Big Red Team can play;

Then Shout! Shout! Put the Blue to rout

While the bull-dog begins to wail

Let them Go! Go! Can they beat us? No! (Shout).

Let them sit on the Fence at Yale.

HARVARD SPIRIT.

Sons of Johnny Harvard, buck the line

And play with all your might;

Show the team from Eli Yale

That we can win with fight! FIGHT!

Watch our study team through hostile line

Stride on to Victory,

Then cheer to the Crimson sunset,

With a hearty, lusty, three times three!

FOR HARVARD.

Oh, when we twist that Bulldog's tail,

You'll hear the Eli's awful wail,

Look away! look away! look away! look away!

We'll make those colors turn a full shade lighter,

Scare that "PUP" till he's no fighter,

Look away! look away! look away! look away!

I'd hate to be an Eli, OH! ME! OH! MY!

We'll take that "Doggle" by the ears,

And tie him up for years and years,

Hooray! Hooray! we'd live and die for Harvard!

Hooray! Hooray! we'd live and die for Harvard!

HARVARDIANNA.

With crimson in triumph flashing,

Mid the strains of victory,

Poor Eli's hopes we are dashing

Into blue obscurity.

Resistless our team sweeps goal-ward,

With the fury of the blast,

We'll fight for dear old Harvard

Till the last white line is passed.

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!

SOLDIERS FIELD

O'er the stands in flaming Crimson

Harvard banners fly.

Cheer on cheer like volleyed thunder

Echos to the sky.

See! The Crimson tide is turning-

Gaining more and more.

Then fight! fight! fight!

For we win tonight!

Old Harvard forevermore!

GRIDIRON KING.

Hit the line for Harvard,

For Harvard wins today,

And we'll show the sons of Eli

That the Crimson still holds away.

Sweep down the field again,-

Victory or die,

And we'll give the grand old cheer, boys,

As the Harvard team goes by.

OUR DIRECTOR.

Hard luck for poor old Eli!

Tough on the blue;

Now, all together,

Smash them and break through!

'Gainst the line of Crimson

Yale can't prevail.

Three cheers for Harvard!

And down with Yale!

RAH! RAH! RAH!   (Repeating)

'Gainst the line of Crimson

Yale can't prevail.

Three cheers for Harvard!

And down with Yale!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!

Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Rah! Rah! Rah!

Harvard! Harvard! Harvard!
