Colgate 1974
Colgate at Princeton
October 19th, 1974
Princeton wins 33-24
The Princeton University band takes a long, hard look, at things that go in your mouth. “Princeton Forward” Everybody has a favorite thing to put in his mouth. For instance:
The Band now forms a mouth on the field and asks “What’s your favorite thing?”
“My Favorite Things” (Band changes from ‘?’ to ‘<‘)
One expert on things that go in your mouth, Eule Gibbons, a renowned natural foods freak, recently was rushed to a florist after mistakenly eating an artificial Christmas tree. During a preliminary autopsy, doctors also discovered a chronic case of Dutch Elm disease complicated by termites. Mr. Gibbons’ remains were put in a savings account and composted daily. The Band forms a compost heap on the field and plays a musical tribute to Eule and his ravenous appetite.
“Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” (Band forms compost heap)
Many students go to Commons to put things in their mouths, strange as that may sound. The Band displays one such item, the famous Commons T-bone. The Band maintains, however, that as far as Commons is concerned, “what goes in, must also come out.”
(Band marches a ‘T’ into a mouth while playing “The Old Grey Mare.” After entering the mouth, the Band emerges in blob formation playing “Blowing in the Wind.”)

The Princeton University band takes a long, hard look, at things that go in your mouth. “Princeton Forward” Everybody has a favorite thing to put in his mouth. For instance:
- with Spiro Agnew, it was his foot;
- with Richard Nixon, it was his leg;
- and, with Shleby Cullum Davis, it is always both feet.
- with a baby, it is a bottle;
- with a Princeton undergraduate, it is a bottle;
- and, with a Princeton Alumnus, it is a bottle;
- finally, with a Colgate undergraduate, it is paste from a tube.
