...lost. In 1913 and 1915, when we had approximately six hundred in the stands, we won. Some may argue that the number present had no bearing on the games, but the respective results in the score seem due to more than coincidence. A vivid example of the power of "pep" is the result of the Yale-Boston College game last Saturday. Men of the latter institution, who could not afford to go by train, walked part of the way and "bummed" the rest to New Haven. Boston College...
Five rows in front of Section 33, the University's cheering section in the Stadium, will be regularly reserved for the Band and Glee Clubs. Hereafter they will lead the singing, in an attempt to instill more "pep" into...
...must entertaining afternoon. The score does not show how close the game really was; the Informals played better than they ken how. They plowed through Black for gain after gain; they spilled Barrett time after time, they even out punted him. It was a great exhibition of fight and "pep."

The "Orange Day in California" scene is full of "pep," for the entire company engages in a battle with the audience with paper oranges as ammunition. In "Follow the Cook," Trixie Fringaza shows how much "music" a stove covered with suitable pots and pans can yield. The music as a whole is lively and gay, with a rythm and refrain not easily lost. "Canary Cottage" and "I Never Knew" are the real game of the piece and keep you whistling...
