Music is as essential at a football game as peanuts at the circus. Last week the Band--in spite of sundry bombardments of the bass horn--did its share of the entertaining with credit. The cheering, too, left little to be desired; but where was the singing? When the Band played the college songs, there were a few feeble voices audible in the audience; but without leadership no real singing could be expected.
