Then a wild roar went up from the Yale side. The crowd appreciated this kind of work, and a great cheer rose to the sky.
When the cheer subsided, some twenty or more fellows rose in a body and loudly chanted in chorus:
“That’s Hodge—he’s a dandy!
That’s Hodge—he’s a beaut!
He’s swift; he is handy;
He can shoot the double-shoot.
Look out! he’s a ripper;
Run fast or you’re done!
Ha! ha! See him zip her!
Well, say—that’s Hodge! This is fun!”
