18 THE NORMAL RECORD. gan, the colleges throwing them back and forth at one another just as fast as they could get them in. It was great fun! Although a small delegation compared with other coll ;ges we had to put in our little say, which was first the yell we are all so proud of,| and which was "composed" on the road to Colvsa—"Chico. Chico, Chi-co-co." It "took" very well and the Southern delegations on the other side of the court sent up a cheer for "Chico Normal." Our hearts swelled with pride at this un looked for praise and after that our voices were raised oftener than ever to make known the merits of our school. The yells were, for the most part, original and very clever. Of course the bitterest rivalry was between Stanford and Berkeley. They kept it an hot and heavy. The Stanford gi;ls, between thircy or forty strong, perched themselves on the high fence of the court, where they looVul like a lot of animated robin "ed-breasts. They had a megaphone, and whenever there was a lull in the storm, they sang out the most absurd questions for the Berkeley "celebrities" to answer. I have taken it for granted that you all know what Capitola means, and that every college in the state is represented there, from aristocratic Mills College to Sherman Institute for the Indians. There were also large delegations from many of the colleges in Nevada, Uicgon and Washington. So you can imagine the variety of colors, pennants, yells and so forth which were to be seen and heard. After this prologue of yells the basket ball game began. Girls from Stanford, Berkeley, University of Southern California, Pomona and Occidental Colleges made up the team. It was a splendid game, very interesting, and altho the girls had never played together before, few fouls were called. There was a little guard from Stanford and goal-"man" from U. S. C. whose playing was wonderful, I had never seen anything like it. During the game the National Secretary, our beloved Miss Conde, "our pride and boast" came thru the turn-stile towards the tennis court. She carried a cala-lily, the flower of Vassar, her "Alma Mater." When the girls saw her each one was determined that her pennant should be the first to decorate Miss Coude, so there" was a wild scramble, and it was a wonder the dear woman came out of it alive. When she did come out she was a sight. Pennants were pinned on her at every conceivable angle, and her hands were full of them,— and among the array was our little red banner with its pretty white "C." At least a dozen kodaks were pointed at Miss Conde but she did not seem to mind it in the least, seeming only to think of the girls pleasure. All thru the game the yells and songs were kept up, Berkeley making the air ring with "Boola, boola," and Stanford with "Down in the country of the Cardinal." The three Normals got together and sang the San Jose Normal song, the words of which we changed so that it fitted any Normal. It was sung to the tune of "Solomon Levi" which we had practiced under the bridge that morning to the great wonder and admiration of some Portugese fishermen who stood entranced by the melody. We followed this up with many other of our yells, so you may know we were not behind the other colleges. At last the game was won by Occidental College. There was a large delegation from this southern school, and great was the sound of rejoicing. Then came what we might call a regular girl's field meet. There were races, broad jumps, high jumps, pole vaulting, and so forth. The girls went thru these feats wonderfully well, and some would have sent many a bay athlete to sack cloth and ashes. In making the broad jump one of the University of Southern Califoria girls purposely fell and pretended to have broken her leg. At once the alarm was sent in and the Red Cross nurses were on the spot in a second with a stretcher, liniment and bandages. With heartrending groans the girl allowed her leg to be put in splints, which were great barrel staves, then around these were wrapped rolls on rolls of linen. She was at last given crutches and allowed to hobble around to the field to the great delight of the kodak fiends, for whom she performed many laughable stunts. Each one of the colleges tried to give some queer and clever stunt to the wonder and enjoyment of her fellow colleges. Berkeley, with the help of a young woman from Vassar made a hit with the "sky-rocket" yell, which we gave with such success at the field day not long ago. There were only two poor lame men allowed to see this display of maidenly grace and skill, they were our honored and reverred Bible teachers, Dr. Gilchrist and Dr. Day. They were bound they would not be outdone altho they were so few in number. So we saw them whispering away together, and at last they came
