ENGLlSHMAN GIVES HIS VIEWS
ON AMERICAN NATIONAL GAME

An English writer, in describing a
Yale-Harvard baseball game played at
Soldiers Field, gives new and pic
turesque view of the sidelights of the
contest as seen by foreign eyes:
'At the crises in the fortunes of the
game, the spectators take collective
and important part. The Athletic
committee appoints a cheer leader
for the occasion. Every five or ten
minutes this gentleman, big fine
figure in white, springs out from
his seat at the foot of the stands, ad-
dresses the multitude through meg
aphone with one! Two! Three!"
hurls 1t aside, and with a wild ningng
and swinging of his body and arms,
conducts ten thousand voices in the
Harvard yell. That over, the game
proceeds and the cheer leader sits qui-
etly waiting for the next moment of
peril or triumph. shall not easily for
get that figure, bright In the sunshine,
conducting with his whole body, pas
senate, possessed by demon. bound
ing in the frenzy of his inspiration
from side to side, comforting rythmic,
ecstatic. 1t seemed SO wonderfully
American, in its combination of en-
tire wildrcss and entire regulation,
with the whole just trifle fantastic.
Completely friendly and befriended
as was, couldn't help feeling at
moments very alien and very, very old
even more so than after the pro-
tracted game had ended In a victory
for Harvard, when the dusty plain was
filled with groups and lines of men
dancing in solemn harmony, and a
shouting crowd broken by occasional
individuals who could find some little
eminnce to lead n Harvard yell from,
and who conducted the bystanders,
and then vanished. and the crowd
swirled on again"
