This very interesting piece, which has nothing to do with a snack cracker but instead figuratively speaking cracks the whip on the university's sports teams, was created by Samual E Darby Jr. class of 1913, and musican David R. Walsh, class of 1912.[/COLOR][/B] [URL='http://books.google.com/books?id=5T_VguL00J0C&pg=PA19&lpg=PA19&dq=saltine+warrior+song&source=bl&ots=TRM6pNYsHl&sig=kuafTMnKBkGZWKG0guPGG0_PIh8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UHJGT4W6JOnr0gHmramZDg&ved=0CGAQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=saltine%20warrior%20song&=false'][COLOR=#000080][B][U]From this[/U][/B][/COLOR][/URL] [COLOR=#000080][B]The Saltine Warrior[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000080][B]Samuel E.

Included in the songs was a number about football men and from the words of this song came "The Saltine Warrior". Plans for the show were not finished but the song immediately gained popularity and became a popular fight song.[/B][/COLOR][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
