The songs are set to popular tunes and one of the most popular is that written by L. c. Oakley '96 to the tune of "The Band Played On" The words are catchy and the chorus is as follows: Fo-o-r-
 "Brinky" will dive through the Jersey
 mems line
 While the game goes on;
 We'll root for the rest,
 For they'll all do their best,
 While the game goes on.
 See the bacllc of the bluel
 How they're all plunging through! See the gains that thew make around
 the end;
 They'll ne'er leave the field
 Till the Jerseymen yield
 And the game is won.
