yells and cheers, for the speakers
and the team.
The first football rally of the year
marked the introduction of a new
yell arranged by Professor R. D.
Scott. The crowd responded to It
with vigor 'and after a few good
trials, the building reverberated
with the echoes of a chant which
promises to equal In effectiveness,
the much famed "Rock-chalk- of

words.
"The team will supply the brown
and the students will back It up with
talih. so how ran we help but win."
declared Dean C. C. F.nRberg in a
short talk in which he pressed
gratification at the backing student
