SINGING AT THE GAMES.

The prime requisite to successful singing at the football games is practice. To supply this necessary factor in the development of a singing section several mass meetings are held during the latter part of the season. At these meetings a great deal of time is devoted to rehearsing the familiar songs. This time, so precious in so short a season, might well be employed in learning the new songs, for other opportunities are presented for rehearsing the old. Organized cheering had a successful beginning at the game on Saturday last, and there seems to be no reason for not using some of the intermission between the halves to rehearse various old songs. Usually, mass meetings do not come until about two weeks before the Yale game; whereas this year the Princeton game takes place three weeks before the final contest. Since there is no song competition for the Princeton game, by rehearsing the old songs at the preliminary contests, we may be prepared to present an effective singing section on November 2. Also this practising of our standard songs at the games will do away with the necessity of rehearsing them at the mass meetings, and thus leave more opportunity to master new productions.
