<p>AS THE BACKS GO TEARING BY</p>

<p>As the backs go tearing by,
On their way to do or die,
Many sighs and many tears,
Mingle with the Harvard cheers,
As the backs go tearing by.</p>

<p>Making gain on steady gain,
Echo swells the sweet refrain.
Dartmouth's going to win today!
Dartmouth's sure to win today,
As the backs go tearing by!</p>

<p>byerly:</p>

<p>if its supposed to be a fight song, it's pretty 'lame', according to my S -- are you trying to scare off the prospies? LOL</p>

<p>btw: For us leftcoasters, why the reference to H? To what specifically does 'back' refer?</p>

<p>"backs" are a football position.</p>

<p>i thin k its a fine fight song. </p>

<p>Harvard is mentioned because, apparently, Dartmouth sees Harvard as its main rival in football.</p>
