The Gonzaga players who had won the game celebrated in the locker room, singing the English version "Unity is strength" of the song "Unity is Power," taught to everyone by Gan Guoyang.
At that time, the Bulldog didn't have their own team song, sharing an old tune "Washington and Lee Swing" with many other colleges. Composed in 1910, the song carried an old-fashioned Jazz flair that made it impossible to sing along to.
Instead, the song "Unity is Power," taught by Gan Guoyang, was catchy, uplifting in melody, and the lyrics had a good meaning. Dan Fitz unofficially established it as the team's song, which they would sing whenever there was a chance.
Reporters and fans crowded both inside and outside the locker room; many wanted to know what song the Bulldogs were singing.
Dan Fitz told the reporters it was a religious song, which meant taking pride in Jesus Christ, uniting around him, and attaining the glory of championship.
