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.

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.
