After listening to the chant "Go Green Go" shake the walls of Watson three days ago and watching an inspired Dartmouth team literally rob Harvard of a critical win that seemed all but locked up in the waning minutes of the game, it became evident that there was something rotten in the state of Cambridge, something missing from the Crimson recipe for victory...
...Angola in the Science Center, you might have found it in any of a number of curious features of the ceremony. There was, for instance, the misuse of the word "question," which by the end of the proceedings was referring to speeches instead of inquiries.

With all the ferocity of rivals who are more alike than dissimiliar, the fans exhort their team to demolish the oppostion. They chant cheers as refined as "Fair Harvard" or "Bingo, bingo, that's the lingo" (written by Cole Porter, Yale '13), and as unrefined as "A quart is two pints, a gallon is four quarts; Harvard men will eat Yale's shorts."
