was the young man in white? By
thusiasm of 500 of his fellows, as one
turns on water from a faucet. by
wave of his arm? The answer to
these questions is one of the most in
.eresting phases of modern college
activity. More than that, it reveals a
degree of science and precision which
one would not be apt to suspect in a
thing so haphazard as college demon
strations.
The young man in white was yell
leader-or cheer leader, as they say in
the east. 1t is his duty to lead the ex-
pressions of encoura cement with which
the bleachers support the work of the
team which is fighting for Alma Mater
upon the chance inspiration of the mo-
ment for ways and means by which the
undying loyalty of the college toward
the team may be expressed. On the
contrary, he makes a business of learn
ing the best methods of cheering, and
q
more time to his position than he does
to his academic work.
The yell leader is an indigenous in
stitution Far back in the mists of
antiquity-that is to say, 80 or 40 years
ago-the idea of regular official lead
er was unheard of. At that time. when
a man felt pleased with the way his
college team was playing. he said so.
He didn't wait anxiously for permission
he simply opened his mouth and said
Hey, there you guys. Eat 'em up!
Bite 'em!" Having said this, he shut
up or went on yelling, just as seemed
most meet and satisfactory to him. At
the same moment the fellow next to
him might be urging the team to reduce
their enemies to a pulp, or make sau-
sage of them. The conglomerate effect
sounded like Waldorf salad looks as
if it ought to taste.
The next step in the evolution of the
college. yell leader was the "spontan-
eous selection" idea. Some one was
showed into the center of the group
by his admiring friends to lead the
yelling He did so by hunehing up his
shoulders with his elbows extended and
shaking them as he yelled, like a
rooster about to crow. The volunteer
yell leader considered 1t point OF
honor to yell louder than any one else
in the crowd and ofttimes incipient
apoplexy was all that saved him from
blowing up and bursting-a victim OF
the good feeling of his fellows.
In this idea we have the germ OF

The leaders have discovered that In
open air block yelling the megaphoues
are a hindrance. What they are really
used for is 10 wave in time with the
music when the songs are sung.
California affects a simpler style OF
bieacher ornamentatiOn, relying chiefly
on the throats OF her cohorts for her
effects. One OF the most startling ef-
fects they have ever produced was

toned over flaming yellow waistcoats.
