In 1911 Schur[6] derived degree and character formulas for projective representations of the symmetric groups remarkably similar to the corresponding formulas for ordinary representations. Morris[3] derived a recurrence for evaluation of spin characters and Stembridge[8] gave a combinatorial reformulation for Morris' recurrence. In this paper we give combinatorial interpretations for the orthogonality relations of spin characters based on Stembridge's combinatorial reformulation for Morris' rule.
