Old vs New The Victors (Michigan fight song)

“The victors” was written in 1898 by Louis Elbel after a Michigan victory over the University of Chicago.
“The victors was first publicly preformed on April 5, 1899, during A night off, an on campus undergraduate musical. It was received well, with the audience asking for an encore.
After Michigan temporarily withdrew from the western conference in 1907, a new Michigan fight song “Varsity” was written in 1911 because the line “champions of the West” was no longer applicable. Both songs were popular, but with Michigan’s reentry into the Western Conference in 1917, followed by an undefeated football season in 1918, the victors was adopted permanently. -Wikipedia

They're both fantastic. When you think of the technology back then, that songs great either way. Like a classic jazz song.
