Who Ray?” but the bystander a deaf mute merely smiled back and nodded his head-salesman by-stand- dress In the meantime the visiting Indians who were very cordial yes and even friendly began a courtsey cheer for their gallant hosts However at that time there was no “Y” in Hie Shew-Ann- e alphabet so the visiting coach asked Injun Joe if he could help them out Injun Joe was an “English major” from Oklahoma A & M so he just quoted the old vowel rule “sometimes ‘Y’ and ‘W’ ” which decided Jhe visitors on using “WS'’ for “Y's" in their yell The resulting cheer therefore sounded like this: Raw team ! Raw' team ! Raw!” Being a stranger in Wyoming too Injun Joe queried: “Who Raw?” Who Raw?” and thereby became the first college yell leader The Utah tribe thought they were being mocked in tne worse manner so they countered with replacing “W’s” with “Y’s” i e Chey-Ann- e (An Irish ciw'l service worker substituted an “E” for the "A” and dropped the while filing a Form Mr5 in an Interior department report in 1905 — the “A” and ” keys on his typewriter were badly mangled) After the Utah yell the Wyoming tribe felt they were in- suited so they returned a haugh-lia- r ty yell then the Utahns thon the Wyomings Utanns and so forth until they both just about “knocked themselves out” trying to outdo each other Now while all this was going on three Blackfeet sneaked onto R-A-- W Big -
