The noise of cheering must have been heard a mile away. From the cadets themselves came some Army yell for which the cheer-master had signaled, but no one heard what it was. The noise continued until the line-up had been effected for the kick for goal. Brayton, flushed with delight, chose to make the kick himself. The pigskin soared, describing a beautiful curve.
For the next few minutes the Army eleven indulged in practice plays and kicks. During this period, the cheer-master cadets and the corps of cadets were busied with the various Army yells and songs that promised victory for the young soldiers. Nor were the Lehigh "boosters" anything like idle. Every time an Army cheer ceased, the Lehigh sympathizers cheered their own team.
From time to time squads or detachments of cadets arrived and passed along to the seats reserved for them in the center. Below the cadets, the band was stationed, and was already playing lively airs. Out ahead of the band stood a megaphone on a tripod. This was to be used, later on, by the cheer-master, one of the cadets, who must call for the yells or the songs that were to be given.
Just outside the lines, behind a huge megaphone mounted on a tripod, stood Dick Prescott, cheer-master. At his side was Dave Darrin, whose duties were likely to prove mainly nominal. Dick swung the megaphone from left to right, as he called out through it: "Now, then -number seven!"
