The original college football "cheerleaders" (1870's-80's) were all female students for
many years, until an all-male squad was formed in 1927.

In the late 1870's the Princeton University football team (the Tigers) had a male pep
squad that sat in the stands and supported them with chants of “Ray, ray, ray! Tiger, tiger,
sis, sis, sis! Boom, boom, boom! Aaaah! Princeton, Princeton, Princeton!” But it wasn’t
until 1884, when football was introduced at the University of Minnesota, that a student
named Johnny Campbell became the world’s first cheerleader: He got up in front of a
crowd and urged them to chant “Rah, rah, rah.” As college football spread in the early
20th century, cheerleading spread, too. The first female cheerleaders hit the sidelines in
1927 at Marquette University. Paper pom-poms were introduced in the 1930s.
