CHEERLEADING HISTORY

1898 – the birth of cheerleading. As the University newspaper of Minnesota “Ariel” wrote on November 12, 1989, the students developed a new plan to attract a support group for the final match on November 2 with Northwestern University. As a result, the University of Minnesota “pep club” students developed a new plan to further involve their crowd in order to win their final game on 2 November 1898 versus Northwestern University. As later quoted in the 12 November 1898 edition of the University of Minnesota student publication “Ariel”: and they invited a group of professionals to implement it: they were doctors, journalists, lawyers, scientists, etc. One of these nominated students previously mentioned, Jack “Johnny” Campbell, takes the credit as the very first of these “yell leaders” to pick up a megaphone, jump onto the sports field, and lead the crowd with the already popular university organized cheer: “Rah, Rah, Rah!” Johnny Campbell was the first to become the leader of the organization of cheer chants using megaphones and synchronized jumps of cheerleaders. It was he who was able to unite the groups into a kind of fan club of cheerleaders, thus the Minnesota football club won the 1898 championship final by a score of 17-6. This was the birth of cheerleading as a serious movement.
