# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page **"Modern College Yells"** (top): Satirizes college spirit through absurd cheers—"Rah! rah! rah! for Q. X. Story" (an unknown embezzler), celebrating a dormitory instead of sports achievements. The humor mocks how colleges prioritize construction projects over athletic accomplishment. **"The Old Fight"** (left): A nostalgic sports narrative about Pete from "old Barlick U." overcoming injury to play football. The story celebrates athletic perseverance and school pride through traditional masculinity. **Right cartoon**: Shows a man at a drugstore counter asking for "a nickel's worth of moth balls, please!" The visual joke—the sign displays "DRUGS"—suggests the drugstore clerk might misinterpret his request as drug-seeking behavior, satirizing public anxiety about drugstore sales of questionable substances during Prohibition era.
