College Yells and Colors.
The TABLE is indebted to many members for replies to the question asked
by "M. T." about college yells and colors.
Amherst.--"Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Amherst!"--Purple and white.
Annapolis.--Navy blue and old-gold.
Bowdoin.--"B-o-w-d-o-i-n Rah, Rah, Rah."--White.
Hamilton.--"Rah! rah! rah! Ham-il-ton, zip rah boom!"--Rose pink.
Johns Hopkins.--"Hullaballoo, Kanuck, Kanuck! Hullaballoo, Kanuck,
Kanuck! Hoorah! Hoorah; J. H. U.!"--Black and blue.
Lafayette.--"Rah! Rah! Rah! Tiger Lafayette!"--Maroon and white.
Lehigh.--"Hoo, ray ray! Hoo, ray ray! Ray ray ray, Lehigh!"--Brown and
white.
Leland Stanford Junior University.--"Rah-Rah-Rah (three times)
Stanford!"--Cardinal.
Oberlin.--"Hi!-O!-Hi!-O!-Hi-O!-Hi!-Hi!-O! Hi! O-ber-lin!"--Crimson and
gold.
University of Alabama.--"Rah, hoo, ree! Universitee! Rah, hoo! Wah, hoo!
A. C. U.!"--Crimson and white.
University of California.--"Rah! Rah! Rah! Cali-forn-i-a U. C. Berk-lee
Zip-Boom-ah!"--Blue and gold.
University of Chicago.--"Chi-ca-go! Chi-ca-go! Chi-ca-go go!
Go-it-Chi-ca! Go-it-Chi-ca! Go-it-Chi-ca-go!"--Maroon.
University of Michigan.--"U. of M. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah!
Michigan! Michigan! rah! rah! rah!"--Maize and blue.
University of Pennsylvania.--"Rah! Rah! Rah! Penn-syl-vani-ah!"
(seldom used). "'Ray! 'Ray! 'Ray! Penn-syl-vani-a!" (short and
sharp). This is the most common form. "Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah! Hoorah!
Penn-syl-va-ni-ah-h-h!" Each syllable is strongly accented, and the "ah"
prolonged.
Following are sporadic, borrowed from no one knows where
THE OLLY-KAZOOK.
Olly-kazook-Alack! Alack!
Olly-kazook-Alack! Alack!
Hoorah! Hoorah! Penn-syl-va-ni ah!
THE OWSKI-WOW-WOW.
Owski-wow-wow!
Whisky-wow-wow!
Holy-muckeli!
Kentuckyi!
Pennsylvanyi!
These last two are not the Pennsylvania yells, strictly speaking, but
they are used at nearly all games, etc., for a change now and then.
Another prime favorite is a melancholy chant.
"Oh me! Oh my! How we blacked the Tiger's eye!" The colors are red and
blue.
University of Vermont.--"Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! U. V. M.! rah,
rah!"--Straw and darkgreen.
University of Virginia.--"Rah-rah-rah, Uni-v! Rah-rah-rah, ver-si-tee!
Ver-gin-i-a!"--Navy blue and orange.
Vanderbilt.--"Vanderbilt, Rah, Rah, Rah! Whiz Boom! Zip-Boom,
