History

A running tradition is that after the conductor calls the song, belting "72, 25 or 6 to 4", it is customary for the band to respond "Hike!", imitating a football quarterback calling plays to the line.

This song was played with the Cornell Pep Band when they visited during the 2006-2007 season.
