Yale 1974
Princeton at Yale
November 16th, 1974
Princeton loses 6-19
The Princeton University Band takes a long hard look at poor taste.
“Princeton Forward”
We would like to thank the Yale Band for giving us the opportunity to participate in a salute to the great American composer Ives. In his remarkable career, Mr. Ives not only broadened the spectrum of American music, but he also revolutionized the theory of harmony and counterpoint. Yes folks, we’ll always remember good ol’ Burly — that guy could really carry a tune. The Band now forms on the field:
a) Burl Ives singing “God Bless America”
b) Kate Smith singing “Jimmy Crack Corn”
or c) Jimmy crack corn singing “God bless Burl Ives”
“Coca-Cola Theme Song”
Being the Princeton Band means never having to say you’re sorry, so with this in mind, what can you say about a 25 year-old bulldog that died? That it had more tail than most Yale students? That it liked telephone poles, and fire hydrants, and Yale students? What the Princeton Band can say about the bulldog, is that it died of overuse. Forming:
a) a bulldog
b) a Yale student, or
c) a combination of the two,
the Princeton Band offers its condolences to the bulldog and all his descendants in the stands.
